For those of you who haven’t seen it yet, check out the latest trailer for Tron Legacy:
Looks like it has the makings to be a worthy successor to the original. I can’t wait!

Finally…A Decent Game Movie
July 21st, 2010
It’s been a long time coming, but I think the indie market might just be on to something here.
Finally, a movie that gets the heart and soul of the source material just right. Where Tomb Raider, House of the Dead, Doom, Resident Evil, and Prince of Persia went wrong, God of War gets right in every single way:
I totally wish that was a real trailer. Dig the Wes Anderson “painful soul in search of enlightenment” vibe. Now I find myself wishing that the real Wes Anderson would step up and make this flick.
Pro Tip: If you haven’t seen Wes’ movie The Darjeeling Limited, please give it a once over. This overlooked film deserves some love.
Racist Maverick
July 14th, 2010
Watched Mel Gibson in Maverick last night and couldn’t help but notice this line that Mel spoke while talking about Indians:
“I try to shoot one a day, before noon if possible. I figure it’s their fault, too, for being on our land before we got here”
- Mel Gibson in “Maverick”
With what good ‘ole Mel Gibson’s been going though in the press recently, this quote just seems so Mel-ish, nearly boarding on a Yogi-ism.
Weekends Are For…
June 28th, 2010
The blur that is the weekend doesn’t linger around long enough to wipe away the stink of the work week, but doing what I could with those fleeting hours that bookmark the drudgery of Monday to Friday I managed to:
Go running at my favorite training trail. Me and my mutated right foot had a great time running the Ellie Lane trail at Iron Mountain.
Cleaned up the house. In this picture, Nemesis takes up a defensive position to guard herself against her sworn enemy…the vacuum cleaner.
Started and completed the collected series of Concrete. If you haven’t read Concrete, I highly suggest that you take a peek. It’s one of the finest examples of independent comics from back in the day when the word “independent” really meant something.
Started and am now halfway through Chuck Palahniuk’s newest novel, Tell-All. Man, that Hazie Coogan sure is one possessive, controlling woman. If you’re an aging movie star, for God’s sake steer clear of her.
Got in a few sessions of running through all of the Cubes. I geeked out hard on this, but I find it relaxing.
Played a round of Arkham Horror. My poor investigators never stood a chance againt the onslaught of ancient horrors that infested the good town. Chalk one up for the bad guys…
Watched a few movies from the collection. Managed to squeeze in Green Zone (Bourne IV it is not), The Book Of Eli (chock full of post-apocalyptic goodness), and Shutter Island (this movie requires multiple viewings).
And to top it all off…bath time!
And that, my friends, was my weekend. Hope yours was just as relaxing and enjoyable!
