Female Comic Heroes and Their Movie Twins

These girls look so sexy… Just can not choose which are more beautiful and attractive, they which are drawn or the ones that are real.
One more thing: If  You have an idea to add more comic girl heroes with movie twins, leave your idea in comments and we will update out post.

Black Widow

Top 10 Lesser Known Mysteries

It was Einstein that said ‘The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.’ For me, mystery is the fabric of Life, and since I discovered Listverse a few years ago I have noticed it’s a sentiment many people share. I have tried to avoid the usual topics of ghosts, ufo’s etc., and tried to opt for the niches and gems of the unexplained genre. I hope you have as much fun reading this list as I had compiling it. So here it is, The Top 10 Lesser Known Mysteries, and, dependent on feedback, there will be another in the pipeline. Enjoy.

11 Damn Near Identical Movies That Were Released at the Same Time

Here are comparisons of each of those sets of movies. In each breakdown, I reference the Rotten Tomatoes score -- if you're unfamiliar, Rotten Tomatoes is a site that aggregates all the reviews for a movie and gives the movie a score based on what percentage of the reviews are positive.

  1. The posters are similar but, tellingly, "Deep Impact" focuses on the disaster itself, "Armageddon" focuses on Bruce Willis.
    "Deep Impact" (May 8, 1998) and "Armageddon" (July 1, 1998) - Two movies about large space objects (a comet and asteroid, respectively) hurtling toward Earth and a small group of heroic astronauts, seemingly average people and government officials uniting to save mankind before it's too late.

    Critical success. "Deep Impact" got a 46 percent on Rotten Tomatoes (which was a pretty good score for a '90s blockbuster). "Armageddon" got a 40 percent on Rotten Tomatoes; James Sanford of James Sanford on Film said, "Breathless and utterly brainless... makes the similarly-themed and much more sentimental 'Deep Impact' look like 'Schindler's List' by comparison."

    Commercial success. "Deep Impact" had less hype and made less money, $140.5 million to "Armageddon's" $201.6 million.

    Biggest difference. In "Deep Impact" part of the comet actually hits Earth. In "Armageddon" Bruce Willis's martyr-ific sacrifice atop the asteroid totally saves the day.

    Winner? "Deep Impact" was a better movie (ask a lot of people -- they'll tell you that "Deep Impact" made them cry), but "Armageddon" did better in the moment and has seemingly held the mantle for shit-hitting-Earth films ever since.

    I blame that damn Aerosmith song... the version where in between Steven Tyler wailing about not wanting to close his eyes or go to sleep there's voiceover of Ben Affleck talking about animal crackers.

  2. Both get the point basically across that it's the president's daughter. Mandy Moore's definitely gets the romantic point across better.
    "Chasing Liberty" (January 9, 2004) and "First Daughter" (September 24, 2004) - Two movies about the 18-year-old daughter of the President of the United States (Mandy Moore and Katie Holmes, respectively) becoming so frustrated with her constant protection and her presidential father's over-protectiveness that she can't take it any more and decides to rebel... right into the arms of a tall, handsome gentleman. But that gentleman has a secret (in BOTH EFFING CASES, he's an undercover secret service agent), and the first daughter is about to get more than she bargained for.

The Evolution Of Microsoft Windows

Here’s a neat infograph which highlights the evolution of Microsoft Window all the way from version 1.0 in 1985 up through the current Windows 7 in 2009.

11 Music Superstars Who are Technically No-Hit Wonders

It's 11 huge artists and bands who are (or were) giants in the music industry but have never had a top 40 hit.

  1. You had a similar poster.
    Bob Marley.
    Closest: "Iron Lion Zion", #11 on alternative chart in 1992

    I had to quintuple-check this because I just couldn't believe it. But it's true. While every single college kid ever had bought (pre-1998) or downloaded (post-1998) the album "Legend"... and many have had a terrible ill-advised "white poser rasta phase" in the wake of said acquisition... not a single one of the iconic songs from that album ever cracked the overall top 40. Not even the top 100.

    In a weird twist, Ziggy Marley actually has had a top 40 song, with "Tomorrow People". Which, with all due respect to Ziggy, is like the American people passed over prime rib for the weird brother of prime rib.
  2. N.W.A.
    Closest: "Express Yourself", #2 on rap chart in 1989

    Sure, they changed the rap genre forever... but that wasn't good enough to make Whitey play their music on the radio. (The top 40 takes into account sales and airplay.) They never even came close. Still, they were more successful than the other NWA -- Northwest Airlines. That NWA has never been on the top of ANY list.
  3. Phish.
    Closest: "Free", #11 on mainstream rock chart in 1996

    Zero hits, at least $175 million in concert revenue in the past 20 years. This is about the point where the Phish people start writing furious e-mails about how the band has never been in it for the money. I don't have any beef with Phish but I've anecdotally found that saying anything even a little sideways about them gets you chastised. For a band that's ostensibly a hippie throwback their fans are quite un-mellow.

  4. Do it.
    Judas Priest.
    Closest: "You've Got Another Thing Comin'", #67 in 1982

    I guess it's good that their subliminal messages never reached a top 40 audience. We'd ALL be Satan worshiping long hairs right now, right?
  5. Sublime.
    Closest: "Doin' Time", #87 in 1997

    Granted, they only got out three albums before Brad Nowell overdosed on heroin. "What I Got", "Santeria" and "Wrong Way" all made the modern rock chart but none of them cracked the main top 100.

    I found this one particularly surprising because I felt like Sublime was everywhere when I was in college. Not just being played by the stoner kids or on college radio. (If aliens ever tried to judge the popularity of music based on intercepting college radio, they'd think the top songs in the country all feature a sitar.) I think ultimately it comes down to my friend Nathan having blasted Sublime for all four years of college. It's the same reason I feel like everyone should be able to quote "Baseketball".
  6. The Ramones.
    Closest: "Rockaway Beach", #66 in 1977

    Having top 40 singles wasn't very punk rock. In fact, it might have been the opposite of punk rock. It would've been like putting a safety pin in your clothes to fasten them, not just for the sake of having a safety pin in your clothes. So gauche.

    Also, I always liked how they all took the last name "Ramone" even though none of them actually had the last name Ramone. It reminds me of all the Dudleys in wrestling. Or (gulp) the Cullens.
  7. Marilyn Manson.
    Closest: "The Dope Show", #122 in 1998

    Even with all of the media hype -- and if you're too young to remember it, in the '90s, every time any kid ever did anything wrong, Marilyn Manson got the blame -- he never stuck a song in the top 40 or top 100. He was far more commercially recognized in the U.K., where he had 12 top 40 hits.

    And by "he" I mean "they" -- I somehow never realized that Marilyn Manson was both the (stage) name of the singer and of the band. Kind of like Bon Jovi, or Daughtry, or a really warped version of The Archies.
  8. Wu-Tang Clan.
    Closest: "C.R.E.A.M.", #60 in 1994

    Yet in spite of that, they still ain't nothin' to fuck with.
  9. Miles Davis.
    Closest: "The Doo Bop Song", #13 on R&B/Hip-Hop chart in 1992

    It's kind of amazing how this list contains some of the most influential artists in reggae, rap, punk rock, metal, jam, androgynous angry suburban rock and now jazz. In fact, many of the artists on this list are Rock and Roll Hall of Famers. Which, coincidentally, is not even close to one of the most influential halls of fame.
  10. Indigo Girls.
    Closest: "Closer To Fine", #52 in 1989

    I once heard an interview where they said the most common thing the two Indigo Girls get asked is if they've had a lesbian relationship with each other. Their standard answer is "no, we'd kill each other." If I were in their shoes, armed with my love of puns, I'd tell the interviewers, "No, things between us would never be harmonious." Don't tell ME Rosie O'Donnell has the market cornered on pun-spouting lesbians.
  11. Josh Groban.
    Closest: "You Raise Me Up", #73 in 2003

    I thought a legion of obsessed middle aged women would be worth at least one hit song. I mean, they've added at least 30 years to Tom Jones's life, it's clear they have SOME kind of magical power.
