Sequel to ‘THE RAID’ starts right after the original. Bone-breaking yes!
Last year’s brutal action flick The Raid was excellent for a variety of reasons. However, for my dollars-to-Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers, what was particularly excellent was the sparsity of its plot. There was no pretense about what the movie was. Thy just wound-up the macguffin and let people break each other’s skulls for two hours. Now we have news about the sequel to the movie, and it is taking place right after the conclusion of the original. Here is hoping that it continues the simple premise, “here are some enemies, punch them.”

‘GameStick’ Android console is the side of a USB STICK. Mini ++
This thang right here is pretty radical. Close your eyes, and set this to voice read thing or whatever. Listen to these words. Or don’t. There exists an Android console that is the size of a USB stick. Ridiculous, no? Maybe not if you keep up with technology. I don’t know how powerful it is, but I imagine if the movies are true than it could probably pull a satellite down out of orbit through sheer technological prowess. Using a joystick, of course.
George Lucas is engaged. Good for him. Yeah, I said it!
I just can’t muster the George Lucas vitriol anymore. So yeah, he took a fat squat all over my favorite franchise of all time. Then he wiped using the original movies that I fell in love with. Dude has also set them free, and donated his loot to charity. Let Uncle George get his Love On.
Rumor: PS4 to restrict used games. GameStop stock responds by crapping its pantaloons.
GameStop makes a lot of its money off duping scrubs like me into giving them my used games, and flipping the piggies for something comfortably close to the original price. If Sony has its way, this entire ecosystem of fanboy and fangirl exploitation is going to dry up like a motherfucker. Naturally, this has sent GameStop into a panic. You can find it running in circles, proclaiming the end of doom. Follow the shouts until you find the man clad in horse skin, mouth slathered with gravy.
Date for ‘BREAKING BAD’ final season is announced. Aaron Paul promises you will break sh*t.
Goddamn. Nary a day has passed since an oat soda fueled conversation had me and a friend discussing Breaking Bad, and wondering when the final descent would begin. Thanks to Jesse Pinkman himself we now know the answer to the question.
AMBER HEARD x THOR = My Mjölnir awakens. I apologize.
This picture is not as enticing as Alison Brie as Captain America, but Amber Heard doesn’t pull on the geek-cache like the former. Former? It is former, right? Anyways, yeah. Still rules. Also, I tried looking for credit for this picture to no avail. If you’re responsible, bless you. And let me know.
‘EVIL DEAD’ RED BAND TRAILER: Blood puking brutality.
I’m really vibing with the insanity coming out of the red band trailer for the Evil Dead remake. It looks all sorts of brutal, and most importantly it feels like its own entity. The further they get away from hallowed grounds with this “remake”, the better. I know some will proclaim that this sort of distancing is heretical, while tugging their stiffened enraged fan-glands through their shorts, but I respectfully disagree. I’d rather they carve their own path. Out of flesh and sinew.
Megan Ganz leaves ‘COMMUNITY’ to write for ‘MODERN FAMILY’, and I gently weep.
When Community creator Dan Harmon was sent to the Elysian Fields last Spring, a source of solace was the fact that writer Megan Ganz remained on the show. Such a salve can no longer be applied to our burnt chests, for the talented lady has departed the show for Modern We’re So Whacky. Alas. I want to be upset at this news, but I can’t help but feel that the cameras are never going to roll on Community again anyways. Fare thee well, Miss Ganza.
New ‘STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS’ images prove even jails are sexy in space.
I want to live in J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek universe. Motherfucking everything is gorgeous! Even the jail that holds Benjamin Slumberdick or whatever is fucking pristine. It has got that Apple Store sheen. Fuck yeah, sign me up. Especially if you can get me a stall next to Alice Eve. Oh baby! Hit the jump for the images, as well as some words from Slumberdick and Eve about the pressures of being in the flick.
‘GUN MACHINE’ TRAILER: Welcome to Warren Ellis’ latest nightmare.
I had ill (or perhaps marginal) words for my savior Warren Ellis’ newest novel Gun Machine over in Rendar’s Year’s Best. Despite that, I still bought it on Tuesday. Reading through it a second time, I’m enjoying it much more. I think it has to do with me coming to grips with it being decidedly different from usual Ellis affairs. I still find it incredibly rushed, with a panoply of interesting ideas left half-sprung. What ist here is interesting, and worth reading. Especially if you’re an Ellis fanatic. None the less, decide for yourself. Here is a trailer for the novel, featuring narration by Wil Wheaton and artwork by Ben Templesmith.
