  1. Didn't care for Machete. Was looking forward to it, and really wanted to like it, but it was so....meh. Not nearly as over-the-top as it needed to be.
  2. Read this off Trueachievements.com a couple minutes ago. My condolences to our friends in oz.
  3. I see you are burning right through that stack of DVDs I lent you!!
  4. Great news!! So will this be after he directs the live action Death Note?
  5. Wow. Good call ASC. Also, what the fuck is SeƱor Ding Dong?
  6. It's a damn shame Speed Racer did so poorly. I loved that film. One of the few times I've gone to the movies alone, cause no one else wanted to see it. Saw it during the first week and sadly it was like a private screening. Agree with Nick that Matrix 1.0 was this generations star wars. It created a universe and mythos that was so rich. Unfortunately the wachowskis pulled the plug with the very next movie (i don't believe that either reloaded or revolutions stands on its own as a film, it's why I hate the ill-concieved, first one did well so lets do two more back to back, 'trilogies' of today). While I would love a return to grace for the franchise, I can't help but think that this is the wachowskis with thier tail between thier legs, rather than them having a genuine idea and drive to add more to the universe they created.
  7. And I just finally got around to seeing the teasers. My interest is piqued.
  8. Wow, that latest video you posted confused the hell out of me nick!! It's like a demented version of Q*bert or something!! Still, can't wait though.
  9. I actually watched this twice in the theater. First time was on a whim with my girlfriend and a friend of her's that was in town, and I knew very little going in, which is strange in and of itself for me as I tend to keep abreast with even the most obscure films. The entire time watching I was looking over my shoulders to see if anyone else was struck by the surrealness of the film. I felt like somehow, upon entering the darkened theater, I had slipped into some alternate reality. There are SO MANY disperate elements thrown together in this film that by all rights it should be a complete disaster. It is SUCH an incredible trainwreck of a movie but I mean that in the best possible way. Throughout the movie I asking myself "How on EARTH does this film exhist!!" Seriously, this film is a diamond it the rough. It has a warmth and heart that are hard to explain and made me forgive some of the downright BIZARRE elements. It's like some twisted gory fairy tale. At times it evokes The Matrix, and then in another scene it evokes Gone with the Wind. And to those of you that I have to appeal to on the lowest common denominator I can sum the movie up in one sentence. "Ninjas vs. Cowboys vs. Clowns" It that doesn't get you in the theater, nothing will!! Also...... Saw Black Swan last night. Incredible, and also fucking TERRIFYING! I am convinced Aronofsky is some kind of psychic vampire who has devised a way to suck people life force via celluloid. Black Swan, like all of his movies, left me emotionally exhausted. I had high expectations going in and I can say they were surpassed by wide margins. Wolverine is going to be fucking incredible!!
  10. DOUBLE FEATURE!!! Troll 2 and Best Worst Movie! It had been YEARS since I saw Troll 2, and wow, I forgot/didn't realize when I was a kid how BAAAAD that movie is. I mean like UN-FRIGGIN-BELIEVEABLE bad. Like, you couldn't do worst if you tried. However, this film is the EPITOMY of "So-bad-its-Good"-ness and is definately a MUST WATCH! Enter Best Worst Move. A new documentary by the child actor from the film, about the film and its relatively recent cult resurgence. I was really disarmed by Best Worst Movie. It's surprisingly poignant and a delightfully bittersweet journey. Check it out!
  11. WOW!! Glad the gathering turned out cool!! Sorry I had to miss it! So.....episode 2 gathering????
  12. Yest, but will this be the edited PS3 version?
  13. Finally finished up Trials and Tribulations last night. Immediately jumped on Apollo Justice. WOW!! What an incredible visual upgrade! I knew the first three were ports of GBA games, but man was I pleasently surprised by the look of this one!!
  14. Damn, just found out that season one is only going to be SIX episodes...
  15. Finally got back into Trials and Tribulations (I was a little ways into the last trial). Actually had to refer to a guide because I was in the middle of an investigation and had NO RECOLLECTION of what I was doing. Man, love these games. Apollo's up next. Did the Miles Edgeworth games ever come stateside??
  16. I wonder how Snyder will do without an actual comic to storyboard frame for frame from...
  17. Saw it Sunday night. Was a very 'Meh' episode, but I think this was not really the start of the new season, but rather a
  18. HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!! Here's the link!!! I don't think we can get any more reliable a source than the friggin' cover of volume 35 in japan!!
  19. I think that's one of the things that has me ticked off, did this series NEED a reboot? Capcom and Ninja Theory are being coy, no doubt placating the fans, and saying 'We get to see how Dante becomes the Dante we know and love.' But if it's a reboot, this is new canon, so he's not going to become the Dante we know and love. Honestly, I think they just need to keep thier mouths shut and let the game speak for itself at this point. The more Capcom and Ninja Theory try to explain themselves, the worse it gets.
  20. Dark Horse just released Volume 34 on September 15th. There's no date for volume 35, hell, 35 is not even out in Japan. It looks like we're in for year long waits between volumes from now on....
