Some exciting news from the UFC this week.
On the heels of a disappointing fight between Anderson Silva and Thales Leites, Dana White, commissioner of the UFC announced that Silva will be taking on Forest Griffin in Philadelphia this summer.
This will be the UFC's first foray into Philadelphia and it is sure to be an exciting fight.
Unfortunately, Mixed Martial Arts is still not sanctioned in New York or New Jersey, so this may be the closest UFC will get to the Metropolitan area.
While the big money fight would really be Georges St. Pierre and Anderson Silva, this fight is not far off.
It will be an exciting summer for MMA, especially UFC.

X-Men Origins Wolverine
X-Men Origins:Wolverine comes out today. A lot of people around the office are excited about it, especially "Dan" who kind of looks like Wolverine.
There has been a ton of hype around the movie for months. I remember seeing the preview for it in January, before I saw "The Wrestler."
I was a little unsure of it back then and to be honest, I'm still pretty unsure about how it will do.
So will it be the No. 1 movie this weekend?

How to Lose $55 Million (And Fans in the Process)
The Dragonball Z:Evolution movie came up in the office today.
What a colossal failure! It's reported that the budget for the movie was a robust $110 million while it only pulled in $45 million in it's short stint at the local Cineplex.
Only about $9 million was domestic, so it's pretty safe to say we did not like it over here.
The first mistake was making it a live-action movie. That's just blasphemous. It would be like turning the Simpsons into a live action flick (with Tom Arnold in the lead and Dakota Fanning as Lisa.)
It should be interesting to see if the producers give it another shot or just retire the whole Dragonball Z as a movie idea.

Preparing for the Future
Toywiz is preparing for the future. Currently we're the resource for the hottest toys and games on the Planet, but how about the Universe?
Who knows what else is out there? Maybe Mars has a Toywiz that we don't even know about.
It sounds like we better get cracking and figure out our shipping costs to the Martians.

System of A Down
So a member of the staff here at Toywiz just said that his all-time least favorite band is System of A Down. Can you believe that System of A Down is his go-to bad band? I'm flabbergasted.
What do you people out there think? Is System of A Down really that bad? Is it anyone else's go-to bad band?
