The Apple iPhone Goes on Sale 6:00 p.m. Friday
What the hell is the Apple iPhone and why should you run out and buy one now before they’re all sold out? I don’t know, but if you want one, you’ll just have to wait until 6:00 p.m. today, when it finally goes on sale at Apple retail stores nationwide. Why 6:00 p.m.? Um, PR stunt? So what exactly is the Apple iPhone, and what can it do for you that the iPod can’t? Well I’m guessing the “phone” in the name has something to do with it.
Video: Pacman Quits
10 June 2007
Two things about this video, where Pacman quits, much to the ghost chasing him’s chagrin: First, why does Pacman and the Ghost have British accents? And two, I can see how Pacman would quit. I mean, come on, the guy has been “eating” dots since forever, and where has it gotten him? Butkus. And all those damn ghosts, always chasing him, trying to dot-block him. Do they ever offer to help him out? Nooooo. I’d quit, too. But why does Pacman have a British accent again?
We’re doomed! Andromeda Galaxy Merging with the Milky Way Galaxy!
19 May 2007
It’s official: We’re all doomed, because our Milky Way Galaxy will soon merge with our neighbor, the Andromeda Galaxy, which means the Earth and the Sun will be outcast to — wait, what’s that? Oh, right, sorry. This won’t happen until a few billion years from now, which means we’ll all be dead by then, and if the human race still haven’t developed interstellar space travel and can zip around the universe in groovy little spaceships, then we deserve to get extinguished. Read the full “When Galaxies Collide!” article at USAToday here. I know, this post is kind of useless, but hey, if you like science junk, this is great stuff.
More TRANSFORMERS “Damn That’s Cool” Robot Pictures
11 May 2007
Those wacky “Transformers” robots are looking pretty badass lately. The latest pictures of them have been posted on Michael Bay’s official blog here. As before, I find the Optimus Prime robot to be utterly cool, and the Megatron one to be utterly, um, crappy. All the Autobots, in fact, look pretty cool, while the Decepticons really look like not a whole lot of creativity went into them. I mean, damn, most of them just looks like a bunch of metal rods and junk. What’s the deal with that? In any case, “Transformers” opens July 4th.
Spider-Man Owns Superman – Mac/PC Spoof Video
3 May 2007
If you were a comic book fan, you really couldn’t like both Marvel and DC. Sure, you could read both books from both houses, but truth be told, you really had to choose one — which meant you bought mostly from Marvel’s stable of characters, or DC’s. What was the difference? To me, the big difference is mainly epitomized by their team superhero books — the bright colored tights and nonsensical storylines of the Justice League books compared to the too-human, gritty storylines of the X-Men books. Heck, even the Avengers had more believable storylines than the Justice League books. Basically, if you were a self-respecting comic book fan, you couldn’t consider yourself a DC fan and still say with a straight face that “comics aren’t just for kids anymore” because, well, DC comics ARE just for kids. But I digress. This is a funny spoof on the Mac-PC video from College Humor, only with Superman-Spiderman. It’s hilarious because it’s true.
First TRANSFORMERS Review Hits the Net
28 April 2007
With two months and change left til it opens July 4th, reviews for advance screenings of “Transformers” have begun to hit the net. And of course, as it has been for a few years now, AICN was one of the first sites to nab a review. I’m going to skip over the long winded introduction and get to the meaty-gritty: the plot of the film — or what little of it that was given. Here’s how it begins: “It opens with what looks like the surface of a planet, Cybertron, but it doesn’t look anything like the cybertron we know from the cartoons. Its more like a rocky, mountainous wasteland, but alive…if that makes any sense…”
The Sci Fi Channel’s Summer Schedule, FLASH GORDON
27 April 2007
Let’s face it: as much as I appreciate them for having shows like “The Dresden Files” and the “Stargate SG1″ series on their air, The Sci Fi Channel is known for some pretty craptacular stuff, not least of which are the truly horrendous quality of their “original movies”, i.e. the latest genetic monster/mutant attacks movie of the week. But let’s not focus on the latter and just concentrate on the former — their Summer TV line-up. Read on…
Chuck Russell to Direct MANDRAKE THE MAGICIAN Movie
26 April 2007
Via MovieHole, here’s news that “Scorpion King” and “Eraser” director Chuck Russell is set to helm the live-action big-screen adaptation of Mandrake the Magician. Written by Josh Oppenheimer and Thomas Dean Donnelly, the film follows the magician’s entrance into a world of grand magic and adventure. Jackson Mandrake has always lived life on the edge. Working as an underground magician, Mandrake’s act has grown far too dangerous. One fateful afternoon, a CIA agent approaches Mandrake and requests that the legendary magician help the CIA on a dangerous covert operation. Mandrake reluctantly agrees but soon finds himself caught up in an intricate web of deceit, fighting for his own survival from a brilliant criminal mastermind.
A Review of MY NAME IS BRUCE, Plot Details
18 April 2007
It’s not easy being a B-list actor with fans in the millions based on a couple of movies you did in the late ’70s/early ’80s where you were mostly covered in blood and got tossed around a forest by your “best friend”, who seemed to really enjoy hurting you. Then your career amounts to playing leads in crappy C-list sci-fi movies and crappy cameos in A-list Hollywood movies directed by some dude name Sam Raimi. Such is life for Bruce Campbell, the only guy who can save even the most atrocious movies ever made by modern man (see “Alien Apocalypse” for an example”). Bruce’s latest movie is “My Name is Bruce”, and according to this reviewer, it’s a humdinger.
Sam Raimi to Direct THE HOBBIT?
17 April 2007
So word around the Internet Fanboy Water Cooler (or IFWC as I like to call it — well, not really) is that Sam Raimi is currently pondering offers to take over the directing reins of “The Hobbit” from Peter Jackson, who is still in all manner of legal fisticuffs with New LIne Cinema, the studio that owns “The Hobbit”, post-”Lord of the Rings” glory. Who knows what’s going on there, or who is telling the truth about the situation, but it certainly seems like Sam Raimi is reaping the benefits. And coming off three huge films in “Spider-Man” 1, 2, and the upcoming 3, it’s time for Raimi to get p-a-i-d. And if he does direct “The Hobbit”, he’s gonna get paid.
Kevin Smith Targets RED STATE for Horror Movie
10 April 2007
Geek King Kevin Smith has finally decided what the plot of his oft-mentioned horror movie will be — sort of. It’ll be called “Red State”, and according to this, Smith is basing it off psycho Midwest preacher Fred Phelps, who is infamous for taking a supremely homophobic stance and for picketing the funerals of soldiers killed in Iraq for media attention. Apparently Smith doesn’t actually consider it a horror movie, and the way he’s talking, he’s going to do this with a straight face. Hmmm. I don’t know if that’s such a good idea, Kevin. But I could be wrong.
David Goyer’s SUPER MAX to be Green Arrow Movie?
9 April 2007
Via AICN, here’s a very strange article about David Goyer coming off the now-dead Flash movie to do a Green Arrow movie. Except it won’t be called Green Arrow, but instead the awful B-movie sounding “Super Max”. The article in question appears in Wizard, where Goyer explains that “Super Max” will be about Green Arrow getting framed and sentenced to a superpowered prison, where he’ll have to face superpowered villains, some he was responsible for sending away. Arrow then has to team up with some of these villains to escape to clear his name.
Nadia Bjorlin as Wonder Woman?
8 April 2007
You can throw “Redline” star Nadia Bjorlin’s name into the hat for “Wonder Woman”. Mind you, not that it will happen, as everyone with a pulse in Hollywood has gotten their PR machine to push their name for the coveted role. Here’s what Nadia Bjorlin said when Moviehole interviewed her, and asked about putting on the bullet-proof bracelets: “It is definitely something I’m interested in. I own every Wonder Woman episode! Lynda Carter was an incredible Wonder Woman, and I’d be honored to try to fill those shoes….or tights, rather! [Laughs] As of now, there is no script or director in place, but when they find those, I hope I’m still in consideration.”
FANTASTIC FOUR 2 Gets a New Poster
6 April 2007
It’s funny how “under the radar” the “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer” movie is. Summer is almost here, and all the media attention has been on “Transformers”, “Grindhouse”, “Spider-Man 3″, and all the other rest. But “Fantastic Four 2″ is just sliding underneath everyone’s notice. Which is strange, because it’s a big Summer movie with a big budget, and is a sequel to a successful original. But anyways, in case you still care about the adventures of a non-acting Jessica Alba and her superpowered first family, here’s a new poster for “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer”, this one featuring all five main characters, via SuperheroHype.
The “X-Files” Movie Sequel is FINALLY a Go. Right?
4 April 2007
So after a lot of fits and starts, stops and gos, then stutters and futters — well, you get the idea — word comes from on top (well, from David Duchovny, anyway) that the “X-Files” movie sequel is finally a go. IMDB.com says: “…X-Files creator Chris Carter and writer Frank Spotnitz are busy working on a script for the new film. The news comes after weeks of speculation surrounding Anderson’s involvement in the project. Duchovny says, “This week, they’re starting some kind of road towards doing it (the film). Gillian and I both want to be in it now. We’re happy to do it. At this point all of the kind of fatigue and anxiety that we had towards the end of a nine-year run is gone.” Sounds like a plan to me.
Comic Book Writer Grant Morrison to Script “Area 51″
4 April 2007
If you don’t know the name Grant Morrison, then you don’t (or ever did) read comic books. The Scottish comic book scribe has been responsible for some great titles, not least among them his version of “The Doom Patrol” and the monstrously cool Batman graphic novel “Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth”. Fans of Morrison should get happy, because Variety reports that Morrison has been hired by Paramount Pictures to write the big-screen adaptation of “Area 51″, which is supposedly an adaptation of the videogame of the same name. I say “supposedly” because, frankly, there’s no reason for them to even stick to the videogame’s storyline, the game being a piece of lame crap and all.
New “Transformers” Images — Optimus Prime, Bonecrusher, Barricade
3 April 2007
Yahoo! Movies has got your first look at a couple (as in, three) new “Transformers” pictures. One showcases a rad looking Optimus Prime throwing down with a freaky looking Bonecrusher, another shows Decepticon Barricade (a police cruiser) trying to bash Shia LaBeouf’s head in, and the last one has Bonecrusher (still doesn’t look “right” to me) chasing something on the highway. The one with Optimus Prime and Bonecrusher, and how so much bigger the two look compared to the other cars, is just so fraggin cool.
Latest “Transformers” 30-Second Clips, “Destiny” and “Hidden”
2 April 2007
Here are the latest 30-second “Transformers” spots that have been going around TV sets all around the world and forcing geeks to fix their pants. One is called “Destiny” and the other “Hidden”, and they both look friggin’ incredible. The Earth is caught in the middle of an intergalactic war between two races of robots, the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons, which are able to change into a variety of objects, including cars, trucks, planes and other technological creations. “Transformers” opens July 4th, 2007.
Because You Demanded it: “Mortal Kombat 3: Devastation”
29 March 2007
It’s been a whopping 10 years since the last “Mortal Kombat” movie, 1997’s “Annihilation”. For one reason or another, Hollywood has never gotten off its collective ass to make a third film. Both the 1995 original and the 1997 sequel were hits at the box office. Why, one can’t possibly fathom why a third movie wasn’t made years ago, because frankly, it’s not like Hollywood not to milk a successful franchise until it’s bled dry. It’s so…unHollywood of Hollywood. Of course, they did try a TV series, but that sucked monkey balls, so let’s not talk about it. So what’s happening with “Mortal Kombat 3″? Moviehole says it’s happening…
BSG’s Tricia Helfer to Slip on the Supergirl Tights?
26 March 2007
Well, she made the uber depressing “Battlestar Galactica” TV show worth watching, so why wouldn’t Tricia Helfer make a movie about the female version of Superman also worth a gander? Via Joblo.com, who hears from someone in the know that Warner Brothers has begun the first stages of making a movie based on the Supergirl character — they’ve paid someone to write a script. One of the names on the list of possibilities is Helfer, who happens to be 33-years old, way too old for someone called “supergirl“. Personally I think the producers should look at Helfer’s “Battlestar Galactica” co-star, Grace Park. An Asian superhero? Why not, it’s the 21st century!
