Sega dropping “extreme” ‘Yakuza’ remake this August
I’ve never gotten into Sega’s Yakuza series, despite wanting to. I don’t know if I’ll play this extreme remake, despite it being a perfect opportunity to get into said franchise. However, I certainly am interested.

‘Atomic Blonde’ Trailer #2: I Chose This Life
I’m not gonna lie (NGL!), I can’t even watch this trailer. I’m too fucking excited for Atomic Blonde. My personal hype levels are already redlining, and I imagine this next glimpse into the flick will break me.
‘Uncharted: The Lost Legacy’ dropping on August 22
More Uncharted, this August? Sign me the fuck up. I know it’s only a standalone expansion, but I’m goddamn ready for it.
‘Baby Driver’ International Trailer #2: Money, Sex, and Action
I’m really excited for Baby Driver, despite finding the titular Baby’s face eminently punchable.
Rumor: The Rock’s Black Adam is the villain in ‘Man of Steel 2’
How do you inject some, dare I say it, fun into the second Man of Steel? By adding a heaping helping of The Rock. Obviously! (I don’t believe this rumor, FWIW, but I’ll talk anything related to The Rock.)

‘Thor: Ragnarok’ Trailer: Joyous, Violent Fun With A Friend From Work
This deep into the comic movie slop extravaganza, no superhero movie trailer should make me as happy as this one just did.
Weekend Open Bar: The Groove Salve on the Brain Boil
My desired Existential-Aesthetic is mid-to-late-1980s Jean-Claude Van Damme movies.
There is such a manic, loosely-tethered lunacy to his movies that more or less perfectly captures the reciprocal nature of It, itself. The meaning in his films are kind of missing, maybe there, sort of apparent, but always haunting you as you dare to ascertain It. Yet, despite the non-sensical, godless, utterly conflicting messages of his movies, that still manage to have fun and revel in doing so.
And yeah, I guess, that’s sort of how I want to approach life, to approach It. It’s a godless, non-sensical world, with no apparent plot or overriding structure. But, despite that, I’m going to cobble together my own absurdist meaning, and have fun doing so.
And I hope you’ll join me, this weekend, at the Open Bar, in celebrating our own non-sensical, absurd existences together. Come, come, come into the bar. Share what you’re up to. The movies you’re watching, the liquid you’re imbibing, the books you’re reading. Anything and Everything always, so long as it adheres to this place’s sole rule: goddamn it, you’ve got to be kind.
Sega seems to be teasing at new ‘Bayonetta’ project
I loved Bayonetta. Never played the second. But man I’m there if they put out a new Bayonetta for the PS4/Xb1, or even a port of the second.
