Rumor | Duncan Jones’ For ‘The Wolverine’?
Moon was fucking phenomenal. Source Code was good, fun, solid sci-fi. Duncan Jones is a current favorite of mine. Now he could be doing ‘The Wolverine’?

‘The Hobbit’ Shooting With James Cameron Future Technology.
A couple of months ago James Cameron was blabbering with his babbling lips about the future of movie technology lying in shooting at 48fps. I dismissed Cameron’s blathering because he’s in that rarefied league of blowhards like George Lucas who just gab and spew bullshit. At the time, “shooting in 48fps” translated to “creating 3D that didn’t look like strobing, dark, bullshit.”
But Peter Jackson is now shooting ‘The Hobbit’ with these cameras, so I’m sort of paying attention.
‘Mass Effect’ Getting Anime In 2012. Pants = Lightspeed!
I’m a total slut for anything Mass Effect. I love me the franchise, in fact it may be my current favorite. I’m doing shit I swore I would never fucking do with a video game series: read the novels and the comic books. Condemn me! So fuck yeah, I’m stoked at the announcement that there’s going to be a Mass Effect anime.
Fuck yeah!

DEFEAT. 028 – YOUR DAMN HANDS
[DEFEAT. is Rendar Frankenstein’s truest attempt at fiction. Presented in weekly episodes, the novella tells the tale of Daryl Millar – a hero who dies at the intersection of pop culture, science-fiction, war epic, and fantasy]
Daryl got out of the car before it had even stopped. His mother, affixed to the rearview mirror as she applied a third coat of rouge, didn’t notice. Even if she had, she wouldn’t have stopped him. Chalk it up to an understanding that no words could ever contest one of her son’s resolutions. Or, chalk it up to a desire to return home, pop a couple of Vicodin, hide in bed, and listen to Barbara Streisand’s The Broadway Album.
Either way — chalk it up.
Parted by the wind, a pile of leaves got out the seventeen year old champion’s path. Orange. Brown. Pregnant with anticipation. Mother Nature knew that on this morning, Daryl was unstoppable.
There was no need to stop at the locker before class. Daryl didn’t even bring his backpack. His mother might’ve noticed if she weren’t so damn busy putting on makeup to impress nobody. Daryl sans backpack — he knew he wouldn’t be spending much of Thursday at school.
Had Daryl been more patient in this current endeavor, more willing to go through the regular routine before getting down to business, his day would’ve gone much differently. At his locker waited Vanessa, holding baited breath and hoping to discuss the wonder that was the previous evening. Just like her suitor, Vanessa felt something washing over her during the post-coital bliss. Not just the physical pleasure of orgasm, but the sense that a tide was turning. Possibility was afoot, and Vanessa wanted to see if Daryl felt the same.
Had he been less dedicated to his friends, he may have actually gone to his first class — Modern American History. Once there, he would’ve noticed just the distraught Ms. Lang, practically on the verge of tears. A conversation would have begun, and the two would have started unraveling some of the many links that connected their lives
But alas, neither of these were destinations on Itinerary-Vengeance.
Battlefield and CoD Ad Campaigns To Exceed $100 Million.
EA CEO John Riccitiello was delivering a speech at the Ad Age Conference, whatever the fuck that is, when he dropped some speculation regarding the advertising budget for the next Battlefield and Call of Duty games. Riccitiello predicted the next installments of his company’s Battlefield, as well as Activision’s Call of Duty could see their ad campaigns exceed $100 fucking million dollars.
That’s a lot of Junior Bacon Cheeseburgers.
Captain America & Bucky Drops This Summer, Chris Samnee Lives!
What’s going on with Bucky, eh? With Steve Rogers resuming the role of Captain America conveniently around the launch of the Cap movie, I’ve been wondering what the fuck they’ll do with James Buchanan. Marvel dropped yesterday at least one bone they’ll be throwing Rogers’ protege after he’s relieved of his position.
Co-writers Ed Brubaker and Marc Andreyko join Chris Samnee on the new title Captain America & Bucky. This news rocks if only because it’s a new Chris Samnee monthly after Thor: The Mighty Avenger was canned. Dude rocks.

Anonymous Continues Raining Elbows On Sony And PSN. LEGION, Or Something.
Maybe I’m still a petulant teenager who likes seeing the Man getting a shitty dildo smeared across their face, but I fucking enjoy Anonymous. Since their declaration earlier this week, they’ve continued to pummel Sony’s Playstation Network with all sorts of magical Internet Steel Chairs and other awesome metaphorical ass-whuppery.
Netflix Lands Exclusive Deal To Stream ‘Mad Men.’
Mad Men. Oh Mad Men. I fucking love you. While your fifth season won’t start until 2012, I have now found out that I’ll be able to stream you from wherever I go now. On the toilet, on a bus, in my room. ‘Cause Netflix has struck a deal with Lionsgate for the exclusive rights to stream this television show.
