Dream About Purchasing SFIV

I just had such a wacky dream about purchasing SFIV at Gamestop. JUST PURCHASING IT! Not playing. I dreamt I was hanging around Gamestop for hours looking at stuff then finally having the guts to ask the guy (don't know why I was nervous to ask him) about my pre-ordered game, stick and controllers. I even gave my dream-Gamestop employee a race...he was an American Hindu with a slight Hindu accent.
In my dream, I purchased the SFIV collector's edition, Tourament Edition stick, wall-scroll but he ran out of the Chun-Li gamepad. :(
By the way guys, in reality, I pre-ordered my game & stick through Amazon. So, I don't know why I dreamt about Gamestop.
Amazing Chocolate Fighting

Holy crap, everyone. I've seen one of the best action movies ever! It's a Thai movie called "Chocolate" about "a young girl learns to fight from watching TV and the Muay Thai fighters from the boxing school next door. When she finds a list of debtors in her ailing mothers diary, she sets upon a violent mission to collect payment for medical expenses. Her quest is a dangerous one that ultimately leads her to her father." (from IMDB.com)
Watch the trailer below:
I swear...this girl should have seriously been thought about for casting as Chun-Li for the new Street Fighter movie. The star of the movie is
Yanin "Jeeja" Vismistananda who did an amazing job and without stunt doubles!!!.
This movie is a must-see for anyone who likes action and fighting movies...or movies in general.
Five out of five stars!!!
Complaining to Fox About "The Legend of Chun-Li" Movie

Okay, I'll make this quick. I am unhappy with how Fox is promoting (or amazingly lack of) the "Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li" movie. The movie comes out next month and all we've gotten are a blah-y trailer and an uninspiring poster.
Check this out:
I was so unhappy with Fox that I decided to e-mail them. Here's what I wrote:
To whom it may concern,
My name's Nando and I wanted to let you guys know that I am really disappointed with how incredibly lacking the promotion has been for the "Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li" movie. This movie has an amazingly huge audience that spans many generations and types of people and you guys aren't taking advantage of that.
What is with the horrible lack of hype for this amazing movie? Unless this movie gets pushed back half a year, I don't see any type of hype forming for this movie. It's already January and this movie comes out next month!!!! What took so long?
Also, that white movie poster that's been showing up in some theaters looks so amateurish. It's so uninspiring and boring. It looks like a graphic design student's project who got a C+ on it. Why is there the silhouette of two men fighting when Chun-Li is clearly the star of this movie and should have been at least one of the people in the silhouette? The "Street Fighter" logo has such dull typography...very weak and forgettable..."forgettable!" That's it! The poster is horribly forgettable and not legendary or extraordinary at all. Come on, Fox! Reach out the the online communities that could really help you guys out (deviantArt.com, Capcom-Unity.com, Shoryuken.com, IMD.com, MySpace.com, etc.).
I have been a Street Fighter fan since "II" and Chun-Li's been my favorite character. I can't believe with all of this other amazing Street Fighter products (games, anime, comics, etc.) coming out in February, you guys haven't milked the hype with this movie. February could have been the most amazing month for Street Fighter but I'm now thinking that it's going to be half-assed.
I don't know if you guys have some sort of amazing plan that will completely turn this around but for now, as a Street Fighter fan, a movie-goer, a graphic designer and an actor, I feel really disgusted with this. Please have an amazing plan for this! Please!
Sincerely,
Nando
