Master Chief! 

DaVinci bores?

Apparently the DaVinci Code is boring shit. Hmmmmm...so that's what happens when a hack like Ron Howard turns one of the most popular books into a movie. Him and that great screenwriter Akiva Goldsman. Well, the book ain't no great shakes, but still it deserved real talent to make the film. And Tom Hanks? Wow Ron, know any other actors?

Bad ass Superman poster! 

Maggie Q! 

Mission Accomplished

Saw M:I 3 this weekend and must say it kicks some serious ass. Best of the three. Totally nonsensical, but that don't matter one bit. Abrams knocked it out of the park and I've got great hopes for what he does next. Highly recommend this film.

OT on DVD!!!!

What a week for us geeks. First the Casino Royale trailer is released, in English finally, and kicks ass, then the Superman Returns trailer kicks even more ass and now HELL HAS FROZEN OVER. George Lucas is releasing the unaltered original releases of the original Star Wars trilogy on DVD this September. You'll get the 2004 versions as well as the very first opening day versions. That means Star Wars with no Episode number and Han shooting first. Which is really the only change I want put back. Now the whiners can shut up and history will be happy. Thanks George for giving us the choice. I prefer the special editions, but man isn't it cool to have both. Just like I get choices with my Alien Quadrilogy. Ah, film.

360?

Well 360 was to trump PS3 in the numbers area and about the all around nature of their machine. Instead of 2 vs 3 why not 360 vs 3? Lame, but better than Nextbox. Wii is just not at all a game machine name.

Impossible Missions and Days Off...

Finally there will be a big, new movie to drag me out to the theater. For being such a movie fan, I've been rather fucking lazy and not interested in movies. Maybe I'm old, but my attention span's just not there, I've got too many distractions and too few big movies have hit the local theaters. Bootlegs require effort to buy and the last thing I saw in the theater was V For Vendetta. Now I get this Friday off for the simultaeneous holidays of Buddha's birthday and Children's day. And Mission: Impossible 3 is opening world wide. If I can dodge the crowds I'm there. J.J. Abrams appears to have done the job right this time, focusing on team and character. Hopefully this will sooth my recent distaste for Alias.

Shaken AND Stirred!

Monday mornings blow, however this morning brings me the sight of the first teaser trailer for Casino Royale straight from French TV. Quality's a little iffy and it's dubbed, but fuck if that don't look cool. Been too long since a Bond film. Glad this is on.
