Modern Warfare 3. Infamous. Famous. More of the same. But what’s the problem with more of the same  when I’ve been madly in love with the first two? I can’t wait for this shit.

OCTOBER 22nd, Sharks

“I am not a demon. I am a lizard, a shark, a heat-seeking panther. I want to be Bob Denver on acid playing the accordion.”
-Nicolas Cage

Sharks are perhaps the world’s oldest and most efficient killers. There is little difference between the prehistoric megalodon and today’s great white; it’s just smaller. We humans are without a doubt the rulers of the land, but the seas belong to the shark. With 70% or so of the Earth’s surface is water, what does that mean for who rules the planet?

The economy has yet to recover from its monumental floundering in 2008. Most jobs are in short supply. Other Jobs are dead. Nations are entangled in conflicts its citizens don’t understand, don’t believe in, and don’t want to fight. Hordes of the disgruntled are flooding streets, occupying major metropolitan areas and declaring their dissatisfaction. Tumult is proliferating at unprecedented rates.

And yet, it’s Friday. Love is still free to give and receive. Guitars still vibrate-melodious. High-fivin’ a buddy still feels awesome. Even in these most turbulent of times, persistent are those little reminders of why we persevere. It’s one thing to acknowledge the human spirit, but entirely another to know its power.

I know that the general consensus is that everything’s awful and I’m supposed to check my optimism at the door. But I’m not going to.  Tonight, I’m taking a stand against the tyranny of our times. It’s Friday, goddamn it, and I’m going to enjoy my life for what it is and what it can be! Though my flesh-vehicle betrays me and society’s crumbling, art and beauty and truth still exist.

As does beer.

So, in the midst of existential collapse, I sip on BRRRBON.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt has a busy year in 2012, what with playing Robin in the new Bat-Mann flick, and starring in that goofy-stupid-potentially enjoyable bike messenger flick. Now he may be adding another feather to his cap: acting in His Majesty Tarantino’s spaghetti western slave liberation movie thing.

I don’t have a very strong attachment to Stephen King, and I’ve never read The Stand. However I’ve been told I would like it, and I also  enjoy myself some Ben Affleck. So I like this news.

If the next Xbox launches in 2013, the 360 will have been kicking around for eight  fucking years. That’s a hell of a generation.

Matthew Vaughn gave my ass one of the best comic book movies in recent memory this summer when he dropped a quality  First Class  on an  unsuspecting  public. So how’s he following it up? By deciding which of two Mark Millar comic books he’s going to adapt. Matty, I know he’s your friend and all. But you’re better than this. Way better.

I don’t know if it’s amazing or sad that WoW has been milked so much that the next expansion pack is taking place in fucking Kung-Fu Panda. And I don’t know if I’ll be playing it because I am sad, or perhaps I revel in the absurdity/stupidity.

Hit the jump for the debut trailer.
