Man, that STARSCREAM got my geeky Cybertronian blood pumping!!! Check out the reissue SOUNDWAVE now available!!!! He comes with LASERBEAK and RAVAGE. Sweet. But would it have killed them to also include RUMBLE? I'd get one, but I still have my ORIGINAL, baby!!!! But if you want one, its $70 here.
NINE INCH NAILS is coming out with a new live DVD on Feb 27 (US). And according to Neil's rad SOULKILLER site, Trent will begin mixing the new studio album in January 2007. Here's the dvd set list:
David X. Cohen, producer of FUTURAMA, discusses the upcoming new episodes with JIMSMASH:
KYOTO, Japan. His fingers muscled from almost a century of weaving, Yasujiro Yamaguchi, like Japan's signature kimono, is slipping into winter. At 102, he is among the last master weavers of Nishijin, the country's most celebrated kimono district, and his pace has slowed. He rubbed the morning chill from his knuckles, fitted his hunched shoulders deeper inside his indigo jacket and resolutely pushed on.
Aw, man! PETER BOYLE passed away today. I loved Boyle. This is really upsetting news. I'll always remember him from his brilliant, hilarious contribution to YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN and now, more recent, his great portrayel of Frank on "Everybody Loves Raymond." He will be missed. If there is a Heaven, I'd like to grab a beer with him up there when the time comes. He seemed like a really cool, standup guy. Rest In Peace, Peter. And thank you for all the great work - it was truly enjoyed and appreciated!
Oh man! I saw TWISTED SISTER last night at the House of Blues on Sunset! It was
ah crap! Adaptive Gatekeeper & Fearless Rogue of Addictive Gaming Entertainment (AGFRAG) has cancelled their plans to release their planned “Joy of Painting” by Bob Ross-based video game!!!! Its like losing Bob all over again.
This year's Rose Parade has an extra dork factor involved. George Lucas is the Grand Marshal and he invited the fan club "501st Legion" (made up of dorky fans worldwide) to accompany him in the parade.... dressed as Stormtroopers. The club has 3,000 members who appear at fundraisers and charitalble events and 200 Stormtroopers will be marching behind Lucas alongside 2 Star Wars themed floats. One float will be the "Endor" float with Ewoks (sigh) and the other will be the "Naboo" float with 3 hotties dressed as Padme and 2 Jedis. Makes total sense because those are the 2 planets fans want to see in a Star Wars parade, right? Jesus, George! Are you truly THAT removed from your fans? Anyway, check out the parade if you're awake and your hangover isn't too torturous.
Oh man, DC just released their solicitations for March 2007 and the cover to 52 #45 has me giddy like only a geeky fanboy can be!!
Another Comic Book Legend passing.... MARTIN NODELL passed away at age 91. Nodell is best known for creating the first GREEN LANTERN, Alan Scott. He was also part of the advertising group that created the Pillsbury Doughboy.
Awesome! Sega and Fox have teamed up to make a SERIES of video games based on the ALIEN movies!! Woo Hoo!!!!! "The company will develop multiple next-generation and PC video games set in the ALIEN universe, including a first-person shooter and a role-playing game." In addition, apparently Sega is talking to some of the actors from the films (like Sigourney and Lance Henriksen) to do some voice work for the games! The "story" will not follow the storylines in the films but will provide new experiences based on the history of the series. Unfortunately, the first game won't be out until 2008.
We saw APOCALYPTO this weekend. Overall, I really enjoyed it and it was probably one of the best movies I've seen this year. However, watching the absolute brutality humans are capable of inflicting on one another was tough at times.... a good 45min stretch felt like watching a mass snuff film at one point. Truly disturbing. There were also some odd camera work choices Mel did that totally pulled me from the film and you could almost hear the record scratch-screech as it ruins the moment. Still can't figure out why hed made those poor camera choices. The last act, while good, had problems and requires the audience to put forth some extra effort of suspension of disbelief. It's not difficult, but necessary. And the very very ending pissed me off to no degree. While I understand why the director did it, it still ruined the movie for me. I think 99.9% of everyone else will have no problem with it, but for me, ugggghhhhh.
"Newt. My name's 'Newt'.
I'm off to the ALIENS Screening!
