EA's agrument to that though would be that although you are no longer playing online, and now Billy is, they still have to maintain both of your profiles and all accompanying stat-tracking etc...

If I trade in my copy of NHL10, then in two years I decide to buy it again and play some online (assuming they haven't shut the server down), my profile and all stats associated to my Be A Pro player would still have been maintained on the server as well as Billy's, and whoever the hell else he sold the game on to when he was done with it.

That's at least 3 distinct profiles maintained on their servers, off the back of only one new game purchase.

That's what they are charging for. Not saying I agree with it, but I can at least understand the logic from a business point-of-view.

I just think it's a cry shame that so many people think Ironman is a better film (in any way, shape or form) then Blues Brothers.
BB ranks as a "must see before I die" film imo, which is something that can not be said for Ironman (good film that it was).

Iron Man is beating The Blues Brothers. Seriously?

I've loved this film from the very first time I saw it in the late 80's, and continue to love it to this day despite its flaws.
Contruary to your verdict, I'd never even heared of Frank Herbert before watching dune, and still have never read any of the books in the series.

Although the first time I watched the film, some of the plot went over my head (I was only 12 at the time), I never felt "hopelessly lost, or at the very least bored" because it's a pretty simple story ade complicated by people over thinking it.

One thing I would not like to see though is a remake/reimagining. If the saga has to be revisited, then just tell another of the stories, but for the love of god please not another remake!

...I'm reminded that he played Kingpin in Daredevil, and I die a little inside.

"What the hell is going on?"

So a disabled person goes through all this trouble to continue to enjoy the things he likes, in an effort to lead a "normal" life.
Able bodied person can't be arsed to take the time to read the story.

Kinda says a lot don't you think?
Oh well ;)

I think he should call it a day at two great movies rather than taint the memory of his Batman films with an average/poor third installment.
He's told the origin story. He's had Batman face his arch-enemy. There really isn't anyway left to go that's going to be a strong enough story to hold up to the previous two, and none of the remaining Batman enemies are realistic enough to fit into Nolan's Gotham, so don't try.
Unfortunately, we all know whether Nolan does it or not, the third installment will be here by 2010 because Hollywood loves to beat a "franchise" into the ground for every last penny/cent.

Which makes it smell any worse how?

Fuck it, you could resurrect Oliver Reed and it wouldn't make a blind bit of difference.
It's a film based on a computer game.
It's gonna be a steaming pile of excrement.
