I don’t know who that woman was crashing The Music of Prudence director’s speech… but seriously, what the fuck? Poor form, and so much fail. Go back to the bar and meet up with Kanye… serious.
Love the John Hughes tribute. His films and the music from his films helped shape not only my generation, but a little of myself too.

So word on the street that XBOX’s super secret, you are the controller, gaming revolution known only as Project Natal will hit stores this November. Just in time for the holiday season.
Will it happen? We’ll see. But I’m kinda stoked!
So did you know rocker Gene Simmons has a son? And that he’s a “comic book creator”? I put that in quotes because he has… er had a comic from Radical Comics.
Why “had”?
Well, it’s recently been brought to the publisher’s attention that little Simmons may have plagiarized artwork in his series from Manga artist, and Bleach creator, Tite Kubo. Radical released a statement that included, “Radical is taking swift action… to maintain the integrity and protect the intellectual property of artists throughout the world.” In response, Kubo’s American publisher, Viz Comics, released a statement in response to the all the circus by simply saying, “We are currently investigating this issue.”
I have to say that I can definitely appreciate being inspired, and influenced by another artist’s work. But having Bleach fans posting art comparisons between Bleach and Incarnate… it’s pretty hard not argue fault. And it’s unfortunate too, though I haven’t read Nick’s book, it’s clear he can hold a pencil and pen. To have talent be wasted by taking a shortcut is a shame. Especially one where their family would provide opportunity for the taking.
As far as Tite Kubo’s opinion in all this? He’s merely said that he’s found it “interesting” that Gene Simmon’s son is a comic book artist.

Hey EVA fans, all you hardcore otaku might be confused about the movie Evangelion 1.11 You Are Not Alone. Confused in that it’s supposed to be a series of 4 movies retelling that epic anime series. The first being 1.01, the next being 2.0.
So what’s this 1.11 bullshit?
Well, Funimation has the distribution rights, and the little Marxist bastards are milking it for all it’s worth. Because, 1.11, it’s the same fucking movie as 1.01, that’s right, same. fucking. movie. And all you DVD/video/audio-philies… nothing new in that regard either… well, nothing substantial that would warrant a release of the same movie so close to the original’s release.
You might consider this that annoying Director’s Cut of that movie you were waiting to come out on DVD. You know the one, you buy the Standard Edition, only to have the Director’s Cut come out with a shit ton of extras, and ultimately you feel you got cheated cause you missed out. But at least you got shit ton of extras.
Well kids, that is NOT the case here. Only major difference? 2 fucking minutes. 2. Fucking. Minutes. That and the transfer on 1.11 was from the digital file of the film, as opposed to the original’s disc release which was transferred from the 35MM film.
And if that’s enough for you to spend another $30+ on another disc, with nothing really new, more power to you. Me, I’m gonna pass. And Funimation, you should be ashamed of yourselves.
So that’s it kids, Evangelion 1.11 You are not alone, skip it. Tell the distributors they have to stop hustling the consumer. Cause that’s bullshit.
As you already now, Raimi and the cast of the first 3 movies in the franchise are out. Sony Pictures to reboot the franchise in Spiderman 4 to focus on Peter Parker still in high school ala the Ultimates title. Something you may not know, but probably not surprised, Spiderman 4 will be in 3D. Normally I would probably whine and lament, “really people???”. but the Spiderman franchise seems like a perfect fit for the 3D movie experience. BUT in addition to all that, (500) Days of Summer director, Mark Webb, has signed on as director.
The movie is schedules for a 2012 release.
That’s right boys and girls, Christopher Nolan has signed on to return to Gotham City for Batman 3, AND will be involved in the next Superman movie. Not as director, but will reportedly “godfather” the next installment.
You know you’re excited. Don’t lie.
So Dollhouse’s series finale came and went. This little show was just plagued with problems since episode 1. And sadly didn’t really seem to find it’s voice and mythology until the show was canceled. I have to say, at the end of the day, I think I enjoyed this series. At first it was out of some twisted loyalty to the awesome that is Joss Whedon. I mean, really, the first season felt like a Eliza Dushku vanity project. But when it finally got into the swing of things, it was really awesome.
I just wish it could’ve built on the awesome sooner.
As for the finale itself? It had it’s moments… sadly since we really didn’t get a sense of the throughline of the series until halfway through season 2, then it gets canceled, for me, the future set in Epitaph 2, loses a lot of impact for me.
But truly I will miss any Whedon creative on my TV, Dollhouse included. And I’m not alone, SciFi Wire and io9 posted their, Why I will miss Dollhouse lists, and I have to say, they pretty much sum up why I’ll miss the series too.
Enjoy!
