‘PACIFIC RIM’ TRAILER: The Apocalypse is a Fanboy Orgasm.
The veil has finally been pulled back on Guillermo del Toro’s robot and monsters flick, Pacific Rim. And what lurks behind said veil is a collection of fanboy tropes set to push the good lot of us into the throes of back-arching bliss. Giant robots, more gianter (shh) monsters, karate, epic speeches. It’s a collection of everything that used to grease my groin back in my more formative years. My body is ready.

‘BIOSHOCK INFINITE’ is getting a B-Side cover, and we decide.
Ken Levine was pretty forthright in his explanation of why BioShock Infinite‘s cover was straight dude-rock. To make the title seem appealing to those who hadn’t heard of it. It’s a fucking industry, people! In an effort to combat the less than tasty cover, Irrational Games is offering a chance to vote on the flip-side cover. Pretty solid move, in my honest humble truthful wonderful blessed opinion.
Christopher Nolan plays it cool about BATMAN cameo in ‘MAN OF STEEL.” Oh, Chrissy.
Want to know if that rumor about the Batman cameo in Man of Steel is legit? Chrissy Nolan ain’t telling you, so just shut up! The director was recently asked about the juicy little nougat of potential, and played coy like a motherfucker.
The Dude’s High 5s: Christmas Movies
If you’re an avid reader of my High 5s, and let’s face it, who isn’t, you’ll know I don’t like Christmas. People are angry. They are stressed out. They spend far too much money on gifts and over extend themselves. Its painful to watch. Now, that’s not to say I want to eradicate the holiday. I enjoyed the hell out of it when I was a kid, but now that I’m older I can see behind the curtain. Around this time TV stations start running the same holiday movies over and over and over and over. If I actually watched TV anymore it would be nerve racking. So here we go, my 5 favorite Christmas movies.
‘OBLIVION TRAILER: Tom Cruise, science fiction, and maybe even a plot.
I wasn’t going to check out the trailer for Oblivion, but our own Eddie Not A Planet told me it held gorgeous visuals deep, deep, deep within its guts. So I did! How about that shit? After viewing it, I got a bit of a science fiction chubby for it. I’ll cop to that, and fuck that is without any clue as to what the movie is about. If there was a discernible plot, I may even be tugging nuggets all over my keyboard to the trailer. Picture that!
Buy EVERY SUPER NINTENDO GAME EVER for $24,999. Not bad, not bad.
Quick, swine! Hook me up during this holiday season. I don’t really need every single Super Nintendo game ever, but do we actually ask for things we need during Christmas time? Fuck no! Embrace the excessiveness. Do so, of course, by buying me this ridiculous lot.
Cosplay: EVA from ‘Metal Gear Solid 3’ is bikini subterfuge.
Truth be told, I don’t even know what “bikini subterfuge” means, which indicates that it actually means nothing. Whatever. I’m on to you. I know your secrets. Namely, that you’re not here for me at all. Just for the glorious cosplay. I don’t blame you one bit.
‘MAN OF STEEL’ TRAILER #2: Bearded Kal-El and ridiculous visuals.
No lie: I just watched this trailer at work on a computer with no sound, and the effort still managed to give me goosebumps. Visually ridiculous, tonally serious. I am so, so stoked.
Fan Art: ‘ALWAYS SUNNY’ x ‘AVENGERS’ = ‘PhiladelphiAvengers’
Big ups to Bridgit Sheide (I hope I spelled that correctly, my vision sucks) for this mash-up.
New ‘STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS’ image identifies Benedict Cumberbatch as “John Harrison.” Yeah, okay.
A Khan by any other name, right? I’m willing to bet at this point that regardless of what is name is in the movie, Benedict Cumberbatch is going to play some sort of Khan analogue in the next Star Trek movie. So yeah, go ahead PR department. Call him “John Harrison”, you’re not fooling me.
