‘Mortal Kombat’ movie casts ‘The Raid’ star Joe Taslim as Sub-Zero and now I’m listening, friends
The bad: James Wan is directing the new Mortal Kombat movie. Granted, I haven’t seen his horror flicks. But, man. His Fast & Furious installment and Aquaman? Woof. The good: Joe Taslim has been cast as Sub-Zero. So, I suppose we’ll see.

David Fincher’s next movie is a Netflix original co-written by his Dad. Wow, do I not give ONE FUCK about this!
David Fincher’s next movie is a Netflix original about the Citizen Kane script. And man, wow. Don’t give a fuck. (Okay, I’m probably lying about the whole not giving a fuck thing, okay?)
‘Falcon and the Winter Soldier’ series adds ‘John Wick’ writer Derek Kolstad. More ‘John Wick’ in everything, please!
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier series has added a John Wick writer. Is this good news? Fucking yes! Anything that has a dash of John Wick is infinitely better.
Russia is planning to 3D print a Moon base. How very fucking futuristic of ya’ll, I dig it.
…or is 3D printing futuristic anymore? It feels that way, but it’s also sort of commonplace? Anyways, either way. Russia is planning on printing a 3D Moon base. And, I fuck with this heavy.
‘Nintendo Switch Lite’ is a cheaper, handheld-only version of the console. Dropping September 20!
Man, I sold my Switch. And, I shouldn’t have. I fucked up, okay! I sold it, and now I miss it. So, I’m patiently waiting for Nintendo to announce their Switch Pro or some shit. They ain’t done that today, but they have announced a new iteration. The Switch Lite, which is pretty much a handheld console. You know, with a fantastic library.
‘Akira’ is getting a *new* anime series and a 4K remaster. Weird times, but I’m intrigued
Akira is quintessential viewing as fuck. So, does it need a re-adaptation? No! Am I interested? Yup! Let’s see where this shit goes. As well, the classic is getting a 4K remaster.
‘Valfaris’ Trailer: A game that answers the question, what if ‘Contra’ was even MORE FUCKING METAL?!
Aiight, we got Blazing Chrome coming out literally next week. But, that ain’t gonna be the end of the Contra love letters this year. Place your eyeballs upon this metal-as-fuck game, Valfaris. Holy shit, yes.
‘The Flash’ considering ‘It’ director Andy Muschietti to helm movie. Yeah, sure, okay, just start filming
Apparently, WB is considering It director Andy Muschietti to helm The Flash movie. Man, this movie has been in development Hell for years. Fucking years. So, I don’t really feel anything at this news. This movie has churned through so many fucking writers and directors at this point, why bother. That said, I thought It was about as overrated as can be. But, dude seems competent. Whatever that means.
Monday Morning Commute: It’s supposed to be easier than this (promised no one)
I know that I haven’t written a Monday Morning Commute in a hot minute, and if truth be told, I don’t want to be writing one now! Hey, how’s that for a hello! But, I gotta admit. It’s just tough to get the juice needed to spin one. However what I know is this: for every week a skip, it becomes more difficult. So here I am, friends. Every once in a while I wax nostalgic here, a bit lachrymal. Despite closing in on a solid fucking decade of OL this August (I say goddamn!), there’s always a bit of me that misses the old days.
What can ya do, nothing gold can stuff. And, if gold can’t stay, imagine the lasting power of this shambling space-ship in the middle of Oblivion.
So even though these posts feel more like Captain’s Logs chronicling the end-run of blog entropy rather than a communal experience these days, I’m here! And this is what I’m digging and anticipating this week.
NASA’s TESS spacecraft has found its smallest exoplanet yet. But hey, finding a planet is dope regardless, right?
NASA’s TESS spacecraft has found its smallest exoplanet. It’s small as fuck! But, that ain’t the real bummer. What is? It’s outside of a hospitable zone. Still though, TESS. Good job, great effort.
