There was a leaked version of the new Wolverine movie out on April 1. Many people thought it was a hoax, but it was really a copy of the movie. An unfinished, without many special effects copy, but a copy nonetheless. I didn't download it because I want to see the movie in the theater. However, some idiot at Fox News downloaded it AND posted a movie review on it, after 20th Century Fox has said that they were coming after people who had downloaded it. (apparently there's some way they can track it) Anyway, thank goodness, idiot journalist got fired over the incident. Read the details of said idiot's layoff at BBC News.
Well, delicious to me at least. Hugh Jackman is easy on the eyes. Kotaku reports that the X-Men Origins: Wolverine game site has opened. Since that is one long mouthful of a name, the site is just named uncaged.com. You can register (bleh) online for "exclusive" access (that will likely appear elsewhere on the internet in a matter or hours) to Wolverine Origins game info. In addition to game information, they have a link to the official movie site as well. (which is here, in case you forgot)
The local Blockbuster (and likely all Blockbuster stores nationwide) is offering an Iron Man bobble head as a 'gift' when you put 10 dollars down on an Iron Man preorder. If you were going to pick this up on the first day of release, you might as well get it at Blockbuster for the extra swag.
Official release date for the DVD is Sept. 30.
(as usual, sorry for the poor cell phone camera quality)
Hello, I've been collecting some links for you - they're of varying degrees of freshness. Some more fresh and delish, others rather old and chewy, but still delish. Enjoy. :)
SD Tekken posts pics of Cung Le as Marshall Law from Tekken. (for the movie). I know I've seen this guy somewhere outside of MMA fighting.
ColourLovers blog shows designers and other creatives why Miyazaki is a Master of Color and Magic.
Download.com's emails bring some good stuff sometimes! They reccomended Noitu Love 2 Devolution (demo). From the screen shots, it seems pretty cool. I'll most likely download it and give it a go. From download.com's official blurb: The year is 2288. The city is protected by an organization called "The Peacekeepers League," and everything is swell except for that it's under attack by a robot army lead by professor Darnacus Damnation! Or is it?
(The blogger) Gia reports that D Gray Man has been licened by FUNimation. I've only seen the first episode of the anime, but the manga is AMAZING AND WONDERFUL and you need to read it right now.
ANN reports that HalCali will be performing in NY on June 1. I am trying not to drop dead from jealousy.
Heisei Democracy posts news that there will be a Tama-chan hug pillow released. I really could have done with any other character other than the tiny loli on this pillow. If you're going to be ecchi, at least make it someone who looks a bit older, like Miya-Miya.
In 'this had better not be like Minami-ke season 2' news, AnimeNation reports that Nodame Cantabile will be getting a season 2. < waluigi voice > SO GOOD! < /waluigi>
Potemayo Toy! DO WANT! (found at DannyChoo.com)
an old link, but still quite funny - Giant Boobs Save the Day! (well, win a court case, but save the day sounded better.)
Okay, I found more links than I thought I had. I'll be posting them over the next few days, time willing.
Looooong line for Iron Man - luckily we were at the front.
In the Dec. 22nd post, Majoria's News reported that Kristin Kreuk will be playing Chun Li in the upcoming movie Street Fighter: Legend of Chun Li. She's half Dutch and half Chinese (although her mother was born in Indonesia - imdb=good info) She plays Lana Lane in Smallville. (I'm the one geek on the planet that doesn't watch that show)So there you have it - hope the script is really good. Gilgamesh at kikouken.com thinks Kristin will be faboo, and who am I to argue with the guy who runs the best Chun Li shrine on the internet(s)?
Devil Doll of W&R.com fame has found some information on the upcoming Wolverine movie. It's an interview with the screenplay writer. He seems like an okay guy. Gotta love a fellow geek.
Japanator reports that Viz has licensed a bunch of (rather good) live action movies based on anime. The titles are Lovely Complex, Honey & Clover, Nana & Nana 2. The odds of me seeing or owning these movies is quite high.
First there were rumors of Jessica Biel being up for the lead in the Chun Li street fighter movie. This was ridiculous because she's not Chinese, and Chun Li is very much so.
