Futurama in our Future

So the hit show Futurama was canceled a few years back (due to Fox's crappy scheduling). Fox then sold the rights to show to Comedy Central, who through reruns has revived its popularity and fan base. This led to a 4 straight to DVD Futurama movie deal. These were very popular and now Comedy Central is bringing new episodes starting in fall of 2010.

Rock, Paper, Glove

So there is this glove right? And the glove, it plays Rock, Paper, Scissors. Ya it can even LEARN. Yup, you play against it and it learns to play to your weaknesses.

Christopher Nolan on Superman

Christopher Nolan, the guy who was responsible for the recent Batman reboot, has decided to shift his focus towards the man of steel. That's right, Superman is getting a reboot. Hopefully a better one then Superman Returns in 2006. In addition Nolan announced he is making a third bat-flick.

Tron: Legacy

Tron: Legacy was rumored last year, and teased at last years Comic-Con. Finally some substantial media has been release. Here is the new (and awesome) trailer. Here are some hi res photos. It looks likes a geek's (that's me) wet dream. Also I am going to Comic-Con this year, so maybe they will show us more then just the 10 seconds they showed last year?

Woah Dinosaurs......

I was browsing the internet, and I found this little gem. It's only 26 seconds, but its brilliant. I can't wait for the full thing.

Microsoft Does Something Right

So Microsoft has just updated the Xbox Live code of conduct. Gamers everywhere can now list your relationship status as Gay, Bi, Lesbian, Trans-gender and Straight. Good for Microsoft, this is a huge step forward for them.

Red Letter Media

Red Letter Media is a recent internet phenomenon. They are big amongst geek culture with their prized character/movie reviewer Plinkett. He reviews Star Wars/Trek movies pointing out EVERYTHING wrong with them. So be warned, he WILL ruin your favorite movie that begins with Star (or Avatar).

On Avatar and the Oscars

So as you probably know Avatar won the Golden Globe(s) for both Best Directing and Best Drama. This is ridiculous on so many levels. First off its an ANIMATED movie, not a movie with special effects; if a movie is more than 50% special effects its animated, ok? Second it was in no way the best directed film of the year, it shouldn't even have been nominated. It has an obvious and unimaginative story, with no dynamic shots or anything else that would signal good directing. It's strengths lie in its acting and special effects, this definitely earns it best produced movie of the year. As far as Best Drama lemme tell you something, the Golden Globes is supposed to be the international perspective on the movie industry. James Cameron said so himself. Avatar tells a very American story, with very American values/characters. Lets take Inglorious Basterds, it is an amazing movie and a great example of international story telling. It tells a very European love story (via the Nazi, Theater owner, Black guy love triangle) and provides a very exciting and fun American war story (that at the same time satires the genre, and how America thinks of itself in WW2). Also District 9 was essentially an immigration story, that was awesome. District 9 also did special effects better... just saying.


ANYWAY, you might be asking yourself "why is he saying all this?" The answer, The Oscars. The Oscars are coming up and either Avatar or Hurt Locker are going to win best film, and neither deserve it. I can't argue against them winning, since its really all opinion, but I CAN argue over the Golden Globes. So I have run out of stuff to say, so bon nuit, bon nuit to you all.
