I picked up a little bit of cool news regarding the upcoming Aqua Teen Hunger Force flick. Bruce Campbell, The Evil Dead’s Ash, has been cast as a villainous Chicken McNugget. It’s not on IMDB yet, but an early review says he’s in there.
V for Vendetta released on DVD earlier this week. If you’ve followed my lists of ‘favorite things’, you’ve read how high I am on this flick. Do yourself a favor – buy a copy sight unseen. It’s that good a movie and I guarantee it will grip you. It’s not the half-baked Matrixy rip-off the…
Warner Brothers announced Heath Ledger has been cast as the Joker in Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins sequel, The Dark Knight. I think Ledger is a solid choice and nicely underscores Nolan’s track record of filling these iconic roles with solid actors (not necessarily huge name stars). Also, that title, The Dark Knight is just leagues…
Nintendo’s conference is this morning – and this news is about a week old – but worth mentioning. The big N recently announced a name change for its new system (due this fall). The console formerly known as Revolution has been renamed Wii. Don’t judge a book by it’s cover! What’s in a name? I…
Last night, Sony kicked off the conference by showcasing the PS3. Of all the news, the price tag had to be the biggest bombshell. As industry analysts have speculated for months, the system will launch with a two-tiered pricing structure: $499 for a 20gb HD Model – $599 for a 60gb HD. Between the 6-month delay,…
This week, the Electronic Entertainment Expo (or E3), is being held in Los Angeles. Running from May 10 – 12th, this annual convention is the spot where all the hot new video games are announced. The big news comes early in the week as the big three – Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony – hold pre-show…
J.J. Abrams – the wunderkind creator of two of my favorites shows (Lost, Alias) and one of Joe’s (Felicity) – has been tapped to direct the next Star Trek film. The film is envisioned as a relaunch for the series and will focus on a young James T. Kirk and Cornelius P. Spock on their…
Formal reviews are coming but right now Tomb Raider Legend and Elder Scrolls Oblivion are jockeying for position in my 360. I’m inclined to refer to Lara’s latest as TRL – but that just seems to conjure up too many images of some crazy platformer where you guide Carson Daley through throngs of screaming pop…
Like Sean would have anything to do with MySpace – outside of trolling for dates. Looks like my site’s esteemed designer – Sean – has launched his own cyber confessional. Check him out over at www.seanobrien.org. Keep an eye out for his photography – he’s crafted some great compositions over the years so it’s wise to…
By now, a lot of you have seen that real-life Simpsons intro. Sean even linked to it over on Scooby Speak a couple weeks back. I read this morning that Simpsons creator Matt Groening was so impressed, he’s using it for the intro to this Sunday’s episode. It’s worth sticking around for the show as well…
