Off-Topic: Get Out of My Head, Jeff Bridges!
So a couple weeks ago, I dreamed I was married to Jeff Bridges. Not Tron Jeff Bridges, The Big Lebowski Jeff Bridges. The Men Who Stare at Goats Jeff Bridges, Scruffy Old Jeff Bridges. Why the Hell would I dream of Jeff Bridges? True, he’s been a part of my life since I was a [...]

I don’t get this. OK, giant dinosar thing stomps Tokyo is kind of weird, but there have been [...]
Studio Ghibli’s New Film Revealed Dec. 16th
The new Srudio Ghibli film will be announced December 16th. It should be out sometime next year, whatever it is. It’s not a Miyazaki movie, but will be done by a new director (yeah, other people actually work at Studio Ghibli; amazing!).
As long as they don’t let his son Goro direct anything ever again, I’m [...]
Cowboy Bebop Too Awesome for Hollywood
According to Keanu Reeves, the live-action Cowboy Bebop movie is still on. It’s just being completely rewritten, because apparently the first draft of the script was just too awesome.
Interview with Spike
Reeves says all the main characters are in this film. But what I want to know is, will the Shaft brother be in it, in [...]
The Host 2 Kaiju Leak!
Korean kaiju sequel The Host 2 doesn’t come out until 2010, but a purported CGI test shot has already hit the net:
Da Pic
I admit, I totally laughed when I saw it. I mean, it does look kind of goofy just loping down the street like that.
Bruce Lee Biopics Greenlighted
I like old kung fu films the best because there is no speeded-up action, wire work or CGI crap. Just people kicking ass. While there are many great kung fu actors, Bruce Lee is undoubtedly the most famous. Once when I was watching one of his movies I blinked, and had to go back and [...]
Ten cool things to instantly watch on Netflix
Ever since Netflix dropped onto the Xbox 360, I’ve been streaming video like a smack addict who just stumbled onto a warehouse full of China White. The offerings were a little paltry in the first month or so, but nearly a year later the service has really stepped up its’ game. If you’re looking for [...]
Edicon Chen on Sex, Stupidity
Poor Edison Chen. He’s a super-popular actor in Hong Kong who gets to bang tons of hot starlets. And take pictures of himself banging hot starlets.
And then have the pics get stolen by a computer repairman who puts them all over the Internet.
I think I need more information before I make a judgment on this [...]

Paul Bettany Kills the Vampires.
Seems Hollywood has moved on from anime to manhwa, or the Korean version of manga. Paul Bettany is in negotiations to star in a live-action version of Priest, which is about a vampire hunting priest. Huh, who’d have guessed?
ANN Article
I remember Priest came out in the U.S. around the same time as this other manhwa, [...]
Death Note in Theaters Round 2
Remember howafew months ago I reviewed the first live-action Death Note film, which was shown in U.S. theaters for two nights (and how I bitched about the fangirls?)?
Well, it’s happening again (and I’ll probably be seeing it again, and bitchng about the fangirls some more), only this time the movie is the second Death Note [...]
Quick n’ Dirty Review: Iron Man
Our good friend Jason (aka ‘Centurion’ for old-skool Yellow-Menace / Destroy-All-Monsters visitors) sent us this short-but-sweet review of the new Iron Man movie.
Much to the surprise of some of my friends, I didn’t read comic books when I was growing up. I watched cartoons like other kids, but I never really got into the whole [...]
