Contagion: A Quiet, Haunting, Sexy Virus Death Commentary.
I’m a sucker for the post-apocalyptic, the thriller, the commentary on society, and gorgeous cinematography. When I saw the first couple of trailers for Contagion I thought to myself that it looked corny, if not a bit enjoyable. When I left the theater tonight after seeing it, I was giving pause and wondering if anything outside of Tree of Life this year had gripped my brain-piece as hard.

Lisa Nolan was cast to play a King’s mistress in the next season of Game of Thrones. She has thrown up the deuces and left the series after she got into a dispute over having to bare some flesh. She clearly didn’t watch the first season.
Trailer: Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception Gets Its First TV Spot. NFL Kickoff Rock!
During a commercial break in tonight’s NFL Kickoff extravaganza, Sony unveiled the first TV spot for Uncharted 3. It’s Uncharted 3 footage. The fuck else do I have to say, huh? Every time I remember this game is coming I begin to breath too heavy and there’s a certain buzzing in my ears that says “Drink the blood and you shall receive it early.”
Phew!

Activision Seizes ‘ModernWarfare3.com’ from Battlefield Fan. Corporate Pigs!
Remember earlier this summer when we were all LOLing about the fact that ModernWarfare3.com redirected to the official Battlefield webpage? And how it was being done by a vengeful Battlefield fanboy? All that fun is over! Thanks to Activision and its corporate cronies and big wig lawyers!
Deleted ‘Empire Strikes Back’ Scene Sees Han Going Full Douche.
There’s a delete scene from Empire Strikes Back making its way around the internet from the upcoming Star Wars Blu-Ray release. It’s pretty sweet, if you think that Han Solo acting like an even douchier misogynist is sweet. Just kidding! I sort of enjoy it. Buy that infernal piece of crap mutilated collection sorts of enjoy it? Please!
Nike Releases The ‘Back to the Future’ Sneakers: Nike Air Mag, Swoon.

Variant Covers: Transdimensional Super Spy Swagger.
Oh my gosh! The Flashpoint has come and gone! The DC ‘New 52’ has arrived with all the musty fart pomp-and-circumstance-and-nothing-much-else that you’d expect. Last week saw just the conclusion of the worst storyline to cause a Universe relaunch ever, and the first issue of JL(A). And yeah kids, I’m counting Heroes Reborn as better than this nonsense. It had Onslaught! Franklin Richards! Other stuff! Rob Liefeld! This is a new week though, and filled with new titles from DC that actually get me a bit excited. More importantly, this is the return of Mr. Quinn.
Variant Covers. Your pull-list for the week. Show me. I’m practically begging.
