I’m not going to stunt. Just like latex porn and obesity, World of Warcraft  always calls me back. Always. So say what I will about the forthcoming expansion, “Misty Crotch Furry Jizz” (working title), I’m going to play it. Blizzard has seen fit to remind me of my hopelessness with these new trailers, which I laugh at, while crying that I’ll be Day 1-ing.

Hit the jump for the trailers.

In 1978, a year after Star Wars catapulted audiences into the alien cosmos, Warner Brothers did humankind a solid by bringing the alien to modern-day America with Superman: The Movie. With the appropriately rousing–if not a bit biologically misleading (it’s marketing, people!)–tagline “You’ll Believe A Man Can Fly”, Richard Donner’s adaptation found the right balance between honoring the rich mythology of the character’s comic origins and reconfiguring it through the epic scope that only the big screen can hold. And thanks to this steady footing provided by the saga’s terra firma that stretches from the distant Krypton to Earth’s Smallville and Metropolis, it is no wonder why, when push comes to shove and heroics are called for, Superman can leap buildings in a single bound (and the like) into the stratosphere: the ground is set for success, which makes the flying leap that much more believable. Indeed, Superman takes off, soaring to immense heights as it is still one of the best comic book adaptations in film. (Slight tangent: its structure, still an unbeatable beacon for doing a great origin story, has “inspired”–or, more cynically, motivated the lazy–makers of subsequent comic films to follow Superman’s shining light too much, too closely, like moths to the flame. Some men just can’t fly well, it seems–and Superman’s mastery becomes all the more apparent.)

Microsoft is working its asses off to up the Docile Consumer quotient, and god help them they may pull it off. Full-on gaming helmet.

Directed by  Nacho Vigalando, I have a feeling this teaser for Mark Millar’s comic Supercrooks  is going to be more entertaining than the rag itself. This is the comic whose tagline is “There are too many superheroes in America, let’s go someplace else”, confirming that every thought Mark Millar has on the crapper is now a movie-ready franchise.

Michael Bay could hear the Collective crapping their pants in apoplexy yesterday when it was revealed the Douche-Pro envisions his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to be…an alien race. His suggestion? “Chill”, like wasn’t the guy who had already destroyed a childhood love.

How do I feel about John Carter? I don’t feel anything. Perhaps that’s the most condemning characteristic of the flick. None of us cared. None of us! None of us cared to the tune of an enormous loss for Disney.
