The Cult

In other Jack Brooks news, it looks like the team behind Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer is working on a new, non-Jack Brooks related film.

While the title Cult may be temporary, the film looks to be Brookstreet Pictures' next film. Jon Knautz will direct, with Trevor Matthews (Jack Brooks) having a role in the film.

Unlike Brooks, this film will not have the comedic element and be a straight up horror film. The story is a group of young journalists who are investigating a cult that is known to practice ritualistic sacrifice of humans.

As of now the script is in the early stages of development, but if the teams previous work is any judge, I can't wait to see what they do with this one.

Wanna Play?

See, I go from a perfectly good sequel post to one about more fucking reboots.

Child's Play is looking at getting the remake treatment. Evidently fans want another scary Chucky film, not the horror/comedies that have been coming out since the first instalment of the film.

Don Mancini will be penning and directing the reboot of the movie of the Child's Play story. Also on board is Brad Dourif as Chucky aka Charles Lee Ray. I guess you don't need Robert Englund to play Freddy, or Doug Bradley to be Pinhead, but Chucky can't be recast.

So lets look forward to yet another film that is good enough as it is, being remade for today's audiences.

Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer 2

Jack Brooks Monster Slayer is getting a sequel. I loved the first film. Admittedly I'm a sucker for movies with Robert Englund cameos. From Behind The Mask (The Nothing Files first ever movie review), to 2001 Maniacs, I just like seeing old Freddy on screen. But beyond Robert, Jack Brooks was a solid film. Jack is a douche bag with aggression problems that can't find his way in life. As a kid, his parents were killed by a monster, and since then he's just an angry son of a bitch that can't get his shit straight. That is until his professor gets possessed by a monster, and Jack has got to step up and save the day. It's a bad ass fucking movie.

Well, it looks like director Jon Knautz and Jack Brooks himself, Trevor Matthews are working on a sequel. In the new movie, Jack decides to retire from monster slaying, but not before taking one last job. He soon finds himself helping stop a man with an evil plot to summon the demon legion. You go, Jack.

We write a lot on The Nothing Files about remakes of great horror films and shit that just doesn't need to get made. It's good to see that an actually good horror film is getting another go. So, Jack Brooks, throw in a Limp Bizkit cd and get your aggro rocking. I'm looking forward to seeing you kick some more monster ass soon.

Transformers 2: Megatron Goes to Cairo

Thank God for Empire magazine. As you can tell by our lack of posts, there isn't a hell of a lot that goes on in these late holiday months. Just a bunch of jackassy best of and worst of lists and misty eyed memories of what a great year it was.

But the good folks over at Empire also put out their preview of 2009 films edition! The picture to the right is from Michael Bay's Transformers 2. Judging by the picture, I'm guessing that it's going to totally change format from the first movie, this time with a large man-made structure that previously seemed relatively benign, actually having something do to with hiding a shape shifting robot from space! God bless fresh ideas. I don't actually know if that's a plot point or not, just extrapolating from the image.

Empire has some a few other pictures up as well on their site and in the issue. One even has Megan Fox, but I couldn't come up with anything funny or scathing to say about them. I am excited to see Transformers 2, and not only because of Megan Fox, though that doesn't hurt. So check out the new Empire and lets get hyped up for some 2009 blockbusters.

And speaking of jackassy best and worst of lists, Thom and I are going back into the studio this week to record The Nothing Files year end review podcast. All our unfounded opinions on what was great and what sucked in 2008. Look for it to come live some time in March. I've really got to take over the mastering duties...

SAG Talks of Inviting Wrestlers

The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) is speculating on inviting professional wrestlers to join the guild.

Darren Aronofsky was recently quoted in Newsday as saying "There's really no reason why these guys are not in SAG. They're in front of a camera performing and doing stunts, and they should have that protection. They should have health insurance and they should be protected."

To an extent I agree with that. Though I haven't followed wrestling in years, from grade school through college I was a pretty big fan. These guys do kill themselves and could use some better representation. I even currently have friends that are pro-wrestlers on the mid western circuits. But here's the hang up. Vincent Kennedy McMahon. I'm pretty sure that the guy who brought wrestling up from the local circuits to the home TVs of America and the world won't be getting behind the whole SAG thing, unless it's some kind of angle, and doesn't cost him anything.

These guys work hard. On the road for most of the year and putting their bodies through hell to entertain you and I, whether we give a fuck or not. And these guys and lady's get hurt doing so. A lot of times they're playing injured. It's part of the job. You don't get the fans and sell the shirts from the locker room. Now if they're in SAG with the insurance and all, and you get a sprained elbow or something, are you gonna be allowed in the ring while it's healing? Who knows, but that could fuck up a lot of careers. Now, these guys are treated pretty shitty for the most part. Unless your a champ or one of the few main moneymakers, you don't really get a lot other that the opportunity to try to work your way up the card, and I would love to see these guys get more health coverage and job security in general. I don't know the particulars of this one. But I will end this with one thing I do know; Foley Is GOD!!!!

Who Watches The Watchmen?

Who watches the Watchmen? Well, if Fox has their way, it'll be no one. I've been reticent to cover this being as that it's hyper lame legal news, and have been hoping that it would all just blow over, but it seems that Fox is trying to stop the release date of The Watchmen.

Years ago, Fox had the rights to a Watchmen movie but nothing much came of it. Warner Brothers is the film company behind the version that was going to hit theaters in March. Fox, a few weeks back, began a lawsuit against Warner Bros saying that it still had rights to the film and this that and the other. Now Fox has come forward and said that they want to stop the release of the movie all together. Motherfuckers. It's hard to say how this one is going to end out. I'm just know that for one if I don't get to see The Watchmen on the big screen right around the time of my 30th birthday like I planned, I'm gonna be pretty fucking pissed. But as always in Hollywood, it's not about the fans, but the money. Well, get paid, and choke on it, motherfuckers. I just want to see the damn movie.

Hellraiser: Such Sweet Suffering

It looks like the only movies that are being made anymore are re-makes. Hollywood is truly out of ideas, it would seem. Another on the re-make slate is one of my favorite films of all time, Hellraiser. I'm a big Clive Barker fan and ever since I've seen the first film, I've loved the onscreen adaptation of Pinhead. Hell, I've even suffered through the horrible direct to DVD sequels just to see Doug Bradly's super badass portrayal of one of my favorite horror movie monsters of all time.

Well, some time back Alexadre Bustillo & Julien Maury (Directors; Inside) we're the team behind Dimension's remake of the movie. They have since bowed out and all hope seemed lost for the reboot. Now, however, it looks as though director Pascal Laugier will be helming the film and it's back on track. Yay.

One thing that does have me excited however, is in an interview with Aint It Cool News, Laugier talks about his love for the original film and of Clive Barker and his Hellbound Heart book that Hellraiser is based upon. He wants to do a Hellraiser film with a bigger budget and a grander scope than the original had. But that's kind of where I get hung up. One of my favorite things about the original Hellraiser, other than Doug Bradly's bad-motherfucking-ass Pinhead, was it's grit. The dirty sleazy feel to the film. It had a darkness and depravity that it reveled in, and that made it for me. I don't really know if new CGI technology and better make up and camera effects are going to make it a better movie. I always love to see movies I love getting attention again, but does it always need to be in the form of a remake? If anything I would rather remakes like Rob Zombie's Halloween, or the new Friday the 13th. I don't need a shot for shot redux of the original with new actors and some hip new effects. If anything, take the beloved villains and put them in a new universe. I don't mind other peoples takes on classic characters. We'll see how this one pans out. I just hope it's not in fucking 3D.

What We Do For Fun

This is my buddy Buck at his graduation party.  Not really normal Nothing Files material, but news is slow right now & I thought you might like to see what my friends and I do for fun.

Happy Life Day From The Nothing Files

You didn't think we'd forget Life Day, did you? Enjoy.

And yeah. This actually aired.

Merry Christmas From The Nothing Files

We here at The Nothing Files wish you and yours a Merry Christmas.

El Superbeasto: Rob Zombies Cartoon Movie

El Superbeasto is the animated project from Rob Zombie. Based on his comic, The Haunted World of El Superbeasto will take place in the world of Monsterland. The movie will follow El Superbeasto, a huge, retired Mexican wrestler (Tom Papa), & his sidekick, the lovely Suzi-X (Sheri Moon Zombie). While paying more attention to strippers than fighting evil, El Superbeasto will have to deal with Liverpollian Zombies, super-intelligent gorillas and of course, Dr. Satan (Paul Giamatti).

While I don't know if this is slated for release before or after Tyrannosaurus Rex, Zombies next live action film slated for a 2009 release, Anchor Bay has been testing the film for theatrical release. Hot animated strippers, a hero who's a retired Luchador and a cartoon Dr. Satan? I know I'd sure as hell see it in theaters!

American Gladiators: Gladiators No More

Due to less than great summer ratings, NBC has pulled the plug on American Gladiators.

Now I'm not into reality TV, but I got behind this show. Sure, most of the contestants never stood a chance against the mountains of humanity that comprised the Gladiators, but that was half the fun. It was a fun show to sit down and tune out to for a little while, and while some things we're pretty cheesy (Titan Hulking out?), it was a entertaining show overall. Too bad it's done now. Gonna have to wait another 15 years until stuff that was cool in the 2000's is cool again and they make a new one.

I Want My MTV!

Ok, so anyone who pays attention to this site knows that I'm a music guy. That said, I want my MTV.

MTV has announced 16 new reality shows. Producers include Matt Stone & Trey Parker, Donald Trump, Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs & Nick Lachey. I'm not going to go into what their respective shows are about, I'm just going to be mad at it.

MTV, when I was a kid, was about music videos and being mad at mom and dad. It was a symbol of youthful rebellion and hope for a more rocking tomorrow. Ok, so MTV debuted the original reality show, The Real World. Good for them. When that came on amongst Beavis & Butthead, Ren & Stimpy and fucking rocking music videos, I got into it. But when you give up on music all together, how can you still call yourself MTV? Kids have stopped watching and the ratings have dropped because you're a bate and switch network. It's not everything about the music. It's everything about what 40 somethings think kids might dig on. So bring back 120 minutes. Bring back AMP. I don't give a fuck. I want my MTV!!!

Judge Dredd

Continuing on the '90's movies that never happened theme, Judge Dredd will be coming again to theaters.

I don't really pretend to understand this. So I guess Hollywood isn't happy with the films it's released in the last 17 years, and is dealing with that in a "do over" fashion.

Rebellion and 2000 AD announce that Judge Dredd will be coming to a cinema near you! DNA films, the team behind Sunshine & 28 Weeks Later will produce the 2009 version of Dredd.

Ok, so the Stallone version sucked, and comic book movies are bank right now... Lets make Judge Dredd. From us comic fans, how about leaving the past in the past and making a bad ass Lobo movie? I'm just throwing that out there...

STAR TREK

Against The Dark

"Katana master Tao (Steven Seagal) leads a special ops squad of ex-military vigilantes on a massacre mission, their target: vampires. On the post-apocalyptic globe, sucked dry by bloodthirsty vampires, a few remaining survivors are trapped in an infected hospital. Tao is their only hope and he knows the only cure is execution. Now it’s time for the last stand against the flesh-eating vampires and there’s nothing left to lose but the last of humanity."

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will release Against the Dark on Feb. 10th. It's Steven Seagal hunting vampires. I don't know what more to say about this, other than "Potential Movie Of The Year!" Ok, we've seen Seagal donkey kick terrorists, we've seen him donkey kick anti-earth people, we've even seen him as a chef (kind of).... But Seagal vs vampires... I'm at a loss.

I actually know a guy who's uncle sparred Seagal about 14 years ago (I know, it sounds made up but trust me), and he said that this guy hits like a brick wall. Say what you will about Seagal, but we were all 15 once, and we all know how much ass this guy kicks on camera. So I can't wait for Against The Dark. Donkey kick them in their dead fucking hearts, Seagal. I'll be routing for you the whole way.

Role-Play

Universal is again teaming with Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean) for a movie based on the online fantasy role-playing world. The movie will focus on the detrimental impact of online games on the lives of its players.

The film will focus on a married man who spends as many as 20 hours a day on his computer, playing MMORPGs. As his computer avatar, he will be a muscle bound hero & entrepreneur, but in real life, he will be a chain-smoking, diabetic 53 year old. Be careful who you chat with.

Verbinski made the deal after signing on to direct a live action version of the awesome game, Bioshock.

Clock Tower

Senator Entertainment's film adaptation of Clock Tower is finally seeing some light of day. Clock Tower is a adaptation of the video game in which a young lady recieves a bizzare and distrubing phone call from her estranged mother warning her that she should not come home. So of course she comes home, only to discover the horrible and supernatural truth of her past.

Martin Weisz (The Hills Have Eyes II) will be directing the movie version, however it is still unclear who will play the female lead. Rumors have placed actresses from Milla Jovovich to Brittany Snow. What is known however is Russian movie site Filmz.ru have realased eight different one sheets for the film. I'm posting a couple of my favorites here.

Halloween: H2

Rob Zombie said that he didn't want to make a sequel to his Halloween remake. But it looks that time, and a new album have restored his interest in the franchise.

Dimension Films and Zombie are again teaming up for a second Halloween film to release in October of 2009. Production will begin in March.

His sequel will pick up directly after the events of the first film. While that is similar to the events of the original sequel, Zombie says that he will not be following that story, but creating an original plot to follow his remake.

The first Halloween remake by Zombie grossed $60 million domestically.

It's a Trap.

Okay. Playstation's Home has finally launched. It's underwhelming to say the least. It's basically a chat room with advertising and avatars. Yeah. Yawn. But this video shows everything that is the best and the worst about online anonymity. Absolutely hilarious. Beware, it's a trap.

Spiderman The Musical

It seems like all I'm writing about anymore is 3D movies and Sam Rami projects ending up as musicals. Well, here we go again...

Spiderman is getting the Broadway treatment. Jim Sturges (Across the Universe) will play Peter Parker and Evan Rachel Wood (Marilyn Manson's ex-girlfriend, The Wrestler) will be Mary Jane Watson. U2's The Edge and Bono have composed the score to accompany the musical.

It is unknown what villains will appear but Wood said in a statement that there will be some new ones and some old ones. She also said that Spiderman will never sing in costume, only as Parker.

Maybe it was the bizarrely placed musical number in Spiderman 3 that got the ball rolling on this one. Oh, well. I guess if I find myself in New York any time during it's scheduled year run I'll have something to do that night.

Twilight's New Moon

The co-writer of Antz and the producer of American Pie has been tapped to direct the Twilight sequel, New Moon. Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke was not used because she did not want to rush into development on the new one, and allow the story to develop. The Twilight screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg is scripting.

So far Twilight the movie has made more that $150 million domestic with another $50 million overseas. The four books by Stephenie Meyer have already sold more that 17 million copies worldwide.

New Moon will be the second movie and follow Edward Cullen leaving Bela Swan in order to keep her safe from vampires. Production should begin soon. Look for a release date of late 2009 to early 2010.

"The extraordinary world that Stephenie has created has millions of fans, and it will be my duty to protect on their behalf the characters, themes and story they love"- Weitz

James Bond Special

The much delayed fifth episode, The James Bond Special, of The Nothing Files is finally available for download. We hope you enjoy it and look forward to recording a new episode soon. If there is anything you want to hear us discuss, please let us know.

The Nothing Files Episode 5 AKA The James Bond Spectacular is Live

The Nothing Files episode 5, the special James Bond episode is now live and on iTunes. Years in the making, Nick and Thom talk Bond, video games, and music. Yes, it’s late. Yes, it’s not exactly timely as the release of Quantum of Solace has come and gone. But it’s double-O-awesome. So mix yourself a martini and send the kids out of the room because it’s time for some more Files, the Nothing Files.

The Crow

The James O'Barr story of The Crow will get a second big screen treatment. The Crow was the story of rocker Eric Draven, who, with his girlfriend, was violently killed by criminals. Because his love for her was so strong, and their deaths so awful, a crow returned his soul to his body, so that he may exact vengeance. The graphic novel is amazing, and the original 1994 film has grossed almost $100 million worldwide. The franchise has inspired other movies (mostly pretty bad) and books (also mostly pretty bad) to be written about the power of the crow and it's universe.

Enter Stephen Norrington. The breakthrough director of Blade, hasn't made a film since The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. He had a deal to direct Clash of the Titans, but didn't feel that Warner Brothers was excited about his vision and direction, so he left the project. He has now turned his eyes on remaking The Crow.

Norrington likes the anti-hero concept of the first film, but where that movie is very dark with gothic stylization, he wants his film to be realistic, hard-edged and mysterious with an almost documentary style.

I really loved the first Crow film. I think Brandon Lee did a great job as Eric Draven and I think it captured so much for so many. While I've been wanting for years for a new Crow project to start up, I'm a little reticent about a full retelling of the original. I think the universe is so cool that you could do a lot with it. That said, I like what I've seen from Norrington so far. Hope that statement holds true after this one.

Dawn Of The Dead

Speaking of 3D news, it would seem that when there is no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth... IN 3D!!!!

Yep. Remember back when Ted Turner waged war on black and white? To colorize everything? Looks like that's gonna happen to the sad old 2D movies now too. No longer will you have to wonder how it would feel like to see these movies jump out at you, they will. I was born with out depth perception, seriously, everything looks 2D to me. It's not that uncommon. But now I can at least know what depth looks like without wearing really thick glasses that I don't wear anyway. Thanks, movies.

The 2D to 3D conversion masters at In-Three are dimesionalizing the classic Dawn of the Dead and the plan is for the movie to be ready sometime in mid to late '09. According to In-Three the movie hasn't had to be re-edited at all, and is really looking great with the 3D treatment.

Now don't get me wrong. I think 3D movies are cool. Friday The 13th 3 3D, Freddy Vision... And I love the Romero "of the Dead" films. I am looking forward to this. I just don't know how much I'm looking forward to every damn film in 3D. I guess I'll draw the line when they do a 3D rework of Christmas with the Kranks.

I Never Get Tired of Watching This

Bush has cat like reflexes. Who knew? Too funny. Enjoy.

Final Destination: Death Trip 3D

The latest in New Line Cinema's popular franchise, Final Destination, will be a balls out 3D film. Directed by David R. Ellis and due out on Aug. 21st '09, this film will follow Nick O'Bannon's premonition of a multiple race car crash. All freaked out, he persuades his girlfriend Lori, and their friends Janet and Hunt to leave, only seconds before the accident happens, throwing deadly debris where they previously were. Creative death ensues. Sounds familiar right? Well, this time it's in 3D.

There are a lot of 3D movies on the slate right now, hell, even The Hobbit might get the 3D work, but this one is supposed to be 3D done right. Craig Perry, producer, is certain that "Final Destination 4 will mercilessly bitch slap the 3D My Bloody Valentine remake into submission." He states that a lot of these new 3D movies have been rushed and are just 3D effects jumping out to scare you. Not so with FD4. It's supposed to be a more immersive 3D experience, even featuring the first ever 3D sex sequence with 3D nudity. Well, I'm sold. Keep your eyes out for more Final Destination 4 info, right here.

Spawn 2

Todd McFarlane still wants to make the Spawn 2 movie. This movie has been talked about for years, but the only thing to come out of the first Spawn movie was a fairy decent soundtrack. I used to love that comic series, and basically quit reading it after the movie. It just kind of killed the character for me.

Now, no new headway is coming about for this film. McFarlane recently talked to GamePro and just gave out some new info, that actually sounds pretty interesting.

McFarlane wants the film to be made for around $10 million, be set in a more similar dark and spooky world, like the comics, and wants to direct it himself. Rather than going with a no-name up and coming director, McFarlane would like to try out the chair. His reasoning being that he's had the movie bouncing around in his head for so long, that it would take him too long to get his ideas across to anyone else. He also wants Spawn to barely be seen in the movie. We'll see where this one goes.

The Reverend Horton Heat

Since 1985, The Reverend Horton Heat has been tearing up America with his brand of Texas Rockabilly. Jim Heath (The Reverend Horton Heat, guitar, vocals), Jimbo Wallace (upright bass, backing vocals) and current drummer Paul Simmons make up the trio. The sound is pure hellfire and fast rockabilly rock. Sure The Rev has some slower songs, but this is a review of a live show, and he sure as shit didn't play those. Most of the bands music focus' on women, cars and alcohol, though a lot of the songs are allegory. A song about getting hammered with your buddies is probably about how fucked up your life is. Though it's been four years since the last album the band hasn't been taking it easy. They played over 200 dates last year alone. If the group hasn't played near you yet, chances are you're only a few months away from rock and roll salvation. The Rev also plays a signature Gretsch guitar, upon which he unleashes The Hurricane. His guitar style of being able to play lead and rhythm guitar at the same time. That's one of the things that makes this three piece sound like 200 pissed off demons onstage.

So, I went to see the good Reverend a couple of nights ago, and as always I can say that I'm glad I did. This marked around the 13th time I've seen the band, since I saw them for the first time 11 years ago, and they still blow my fucking mind.

The show opened with the band Backyard Tire Fire, a three piece from Illinois. They have a really great, dark southern rock sound, heavy on the bass guitar and kick drum. Really great songs about drinking and loss. I was more than really impressed with these guys and got a chance to talk to them after the show. They make beer and whiskey drinking music and they're damn proud of it. If you ever come across any of their five albums, you won't be disappointed. The closest band I could liken them to would be Drive By Truckers.

Then the cacophony that is Nashville Pussy tore onto the stage like harbingers of death and rock. If you don't know these guys, you're living in a rock and roll cave. They scream and tear into songs about hate and whiskey like they're trying to trade their damnation for yours. It's a sonic sucker punch that makes you want to Belushi a bottle of Jack and kick the shit out of anyone dumb enough to be in a three county radius.

That only left us with the headliners. The band we'd come to see. The beautiful, the hideous, Reverend Horton Heat. This band was made to play live. I have all their albums and love to listen to all of them, but they could never hold a candle to seeing these crazed rockers preach their perverted messages of true rock loud and live. You get to see Jimbo surf the side of his bass and do other things to an upright bass that only a very special few could. From a double handed slap to some of the fastest finger picking you can wrap your brain around, you've got a friend in Jimbo, and he will rock the shit out of you. The Rev himself is another sight to behold entirely. He plays that Gretsch like he loves it, but only as much as he's mad as hell at it. The flame prints that lick up from his jacket sleeves could very well be flames dancing from his hands as he plays so fast, by the time you hear the note, he's already played seven more. Another signature Reverend Horton Heat move was pulled out, upon where Jim and Jimbo get side by side and play the chords on the others guitar, while still strumming their own. This is the kind of rock and roll showmanship that so many bands miss these days. Not only are these guys amazingly solid musicians, but they know how to put on a show. They look like they're having fun, and they play to the crowd. The first set wrapped and the band went offstage. A short while later the band returned to the stage, now with an extra vocal mike. Jim thanked all the fans and bands that had played, then invited Nashville Pussy vocalist Blaine Cartwright to the stage for a song. They then tore into a cover of Motörhead's Ace Of Spades. The place fucking exploded, as I'm sure you could imagine. I've seen a lot of bands cover other bands before, but this is definitely at the top of my list.

Sure, I got hammered on Budweiser and Jack Daniels, but that's kind of how these shows should be watched. Hot rockabilly chicks, and hard as nails greasers mingled with suicidals and working class heroes. Ok, so I like to hang out on the edge of the pit a lot, and some fucking suicidal crushed both my knees, but damnit, I'm glad that happened. That's exactly the kind of show that I wanted this to be. Hard, fast and dangerous. So when The Reverend Horton Heat's traveling rock and roll revival hits your neck of the woods, kick chastity and temperance out the fucking window and get ready to rock.

RIP Betty Page

In very un-awsome news, the greatest pin-up queen ever, sadly has passed on. A few days ago, Betty Page suffered a heart attack and was in a comatose state. She has now died.

I can't tell you how much I hate to write this. Betty Page is an international icon. Her work as a model and as and a fashion icon will never be forgotten. Her tumultuous life was plagued with violent mood swings and depression. Even landing her in a state mental institution.

Though now gone, Betty Page will not soon leave the American lexicon. As one of the first Playmates and among the most prolific and recognisable models in history, we're never going to have another Betty Page. The world is a much less beautiful place without her.

"I think that she was a remarkable lady, an iconic figure in pop culture who influenced sexuality, taste in fashion, someone who had a tremendous impact on our society." -Hugh Hefner.

Battlestar Galactica Webisodes

Today marks the release of SciFi's new webisodes of flagship show, Battlestar Galactica. This is the info, straight from SciFi.

The action continues with 10 exclusive webisodes of Battlestar Galactica. "The Face Of The Enemy", picks up where Season Four of the series ended. Lieutenant Gaeta is sent off in a raptor with a handful of strangers when one of them mysteriously dies. The psychological Human vs. Cylon struggle ensues in the restrictive confines of a raptor as everyone is a suspect and paranoia sets in among the group. One by one more passengers die under puzzling circumstances and those remaining must ask themselves if a Cylon is responsible for the deaths, or if it is one of their own — a human.

Nightmare on Elm Street Remake is On

It looks like Platinum Dunes is going is going forward with Warner Bros. & New Line on A Nightmare on Elm Street remake. ShockTillYouDrop reports that Brad Fuller And Andrew Form have confirmed that Nightmare is their next movie and will hopefully start shooting this spring.

Wesley Strick (Cape Fear) has been added to helm the script with the intent to re-imagine the dream killer. The plan is not to have to wisecracking Freddy, but a horrifying one. With the basis being, don't fall asleep or you'll die. This darker Nightmare will as of now be most similar in style to the original Nightmare, with the kills and dreams being inspired by the whole franchise. The Film is slated take place in the Chicago suburbs.

And will there be a spot for Robert Englund in this new Freddy universe? While someone else will get the nod to don the Freddy gear, it is hoped that Englund will have some sort of cameo in the film. If you ask me, it can't be much of a Nightmare film without the master slasher himself being involved.

Friday The 13th Deluxe Edition

More gearing up for the Friday the 13th Remake bodes well for fans of the franchise. Paramount is finally releasing special editions of the films. On February 3rd the first three in the series will be released on DVD and the original Friday the 13th will get a blue ray as well. The three films will come in 16x9 letterbox with Dolby Digital 5.1 audio. All three will also have loads of bonus features.

The first Friday the 13th will be the uncut edition, previously unavailable in the states. It will also have cast and crew commentary, a reunion featurette, a Fresh Cuts: New Tales From Friday the 13th featurette, The Man Behind the Legacy: Sean S. Cunningham featurette, and Lost Tales from Camp Blood Part 1 featurette.

The second film will house a Inside Crystal Lake Memories featurette, Friday's Legacy: Horror Conventions Featurette, Lost Tales from Camp Blood Part 2 featurette, and a Jason Forever featurette.

Part 3 will, for the first time ever, allow viewers to chose whether they want to watch the films in 2-D or for the first time on video, the original 3-D version. The disk will also come with 3-D glasses.

All three movies will also boast the original theatrical trailers.

I can't wait for these. Sure, I have the old editions, but with a msrp of $16.99 a pop, I'm probably going to have to pick them all up. I'm a sucker for additional content and behind the scenes stuff and this is like crack to an old horror junkie like myself. Look in the future for other Friday the 13th's to get the re-release. Can't wait to see the crap they stick with Friday Part V: A New Beginning. It's gonna be hard to polish that turd.

The Dark Knight

So, Nick here, and The Dark Knight has just dropped on DVD. This is one of the greatest days in history. In the last year, we've elected Obama, there is a new opening in the cure for AIDS, and The Dark Knight is out on DVD. I'm so fucking happy to be alive.

Ok, so I'm a huge Batman mark. Even more so, I love the Joker. Now, I like Tim Burton a lot. I really like what he did with the first two Batman movies. Hell, other than Planet Of The Apes, I've loved pretty much everything he's ever done. But he did Tim Burton's Batman. This is Batman's Batman. Bruce Wayne is damaged. Batman is consuming him. And that drives him. The first movie in the franchise, Batman Begins was good, but it was a lot of Wayne. In this movie, he is an afterthought. Bruce Wayne exists to facilitate Batman. He's become the hero/anti-hero of Gotham/Chicago. One of the things that first drew me in was in every superhero sequel, you need the first fifteen minutes at least to catch people up who haven't seen the first film. Not in The Dark Knight. Missed the first one? Fucking deal with it. Don't know why Bruce Wayne is Batman? Get the fuck out from under your rock. Batman Begins rocked. If you didn't see it, you're fucked.

Enter the my favorite Batman Villain of all time, the Joker. He does not give two shits if he wins or loses. He just wants to play the game. And, God rest his soul, I've never been much of a Heath Ledger fan, but this is his role. He captures the Joker like no one else could. When this was in theaters one of the best reviews I read was, "Ledger does not try to play the Joker, he tried to play the devil." I agree with that. Rather than playing the dopey, I've got a really big gun and I hate you, probably, PG-13 Joker, he playes the smartest man in the room, I will kill everything you know Joker. Got a plan to capture him? He was hoping you did. Ledger ruined the Joker for any actor to follow. It was dead to rights. Ledger was even allowed to direct and film the Jokers video segments in the film. Nolan was so impressed with the work Ledger was doing, he chose not to be around as Heath was filming the vignettes.

Then there's Two-Face, Harvey Dent. Aaron Eckhart, plays Dent very well. The straight arrow D.A. who is broken by the Joker, and becomes the arch-villain Two-Face. Sadly, given Ledger's brilliant Joker performance, Two-Face is the crux of this movies story.

In the end upon defeating the Joker and Two-Face, Batman realizes that to save the city from crumbling into anarchy, he must assume Dent's crimes. In commissioner Gordon's terms, he becomes The Dark Knight.

If you don't know this movie, and are hearing about this for the first time, stop reading this blog and check out the movie. Buy it, rent it, steal it, whatever. It's one of the best films I've seen this year, and the best superhero movie I've seen so far. So many superhero movies try to keep it family friendly and break their own universe to make a more studio friendly film. The Dark Knight reminds you that Batman and his world are dirty, and not even a hero can stay clean. Batman has no superpowers, just psychosis that drives him, and he's never been more than two steps way from the villains he fights. So check out The Dark Knight. It's more than worth the hype.

NBC: Killing Television One Time Slot at a Time

NBC has announced that it is planning to keep Jay Leno on its payroll. I've never liked Leno. I'm a Letterman fan. I also love Conan. So, sufficed to say, when I heard that Conan was replacing Leno upon his "retirement" I was happy. Well, now NBC is giving the Chin-Master 5 hours of prime time every week. Every Monday through Friday at 10/9, you'll be able to "enjoy" the comedy of Jay Leno on NBC. The format isn't clear yet, but I'm sure it will involve reading newspaper headlines and talking to drunk people on the street instead of actually writing comedy.

I've never made any attempt to hide my contempt for reality television. The Real World debuted on MTV in 1992. It was a fine show. It was new. It was hip. It broke our conceptions on what should be on television. It very well also might have been the beginning of the end of quality television programming.

Were there crappy sitcoms and dramas before the influx of reality television? Of course! Even the great Steven Bochco shit the bed with the 1990 cop-drama-musical Cop Rock. But the beauty was that the networks used to let shows try to win viewers. Now, there are fewer slots available for scripted dramas and comedies to be seen and to be enjoyed (or hated).

The networks were more than happy to jump on the reality TV bandwagon because the shows are cheap to make. The cost to produce a reality show ranges from as low as $100,000 per episode to upwards o $500,000 per show. Scripted television cost far more. 30 minute sitcoms can run up to 1,000,000 per show, and dramas start at that 1 million point and can even go over 2 million per show.

What does that mean for us the viewer? More crap. ABC will be debuting a show about real life Homeland Security agents after the first of the year. Do I really need 60 minutes a week about how some fat TSA agent caught a guy trying to bring his shampoo onto a flight? NBC is debuting a new series called Momma's Boy, where some sad sap lets his mom pick out his girlfriend.

Meanwhile, shows like Boston Legal, Jericho, and Kidnapped seem to get cancelled every day. Some might argue that moves like this are more than just about money, but also about what the public wants. First, I'll say the public is generally stupid, so fuck what they want. Second, I'll say that that argument is bullshit.

Let's look at what the networks are putting on the air right now. I analyzed the fall lineup to see how many scripted hours are on prime time for each network. I started by not counting Saturday night prime time hours, it's either re-runs or reality on all networks, and no one watches the boob tube on Saturday night anyway. Of the "big three," ABC and NBC both had 39% of their fall schedule dedicated to non-scripted prime time programming. CBS had only 11% non-scripted programming. Well, all of that "non-reality" programming over at CBS has made them the #1 network this season. CBS is averaging a 7.5/12 this year in the Nielsens. That means that 7.5% of households are watching them, and 12% of televisions in use are watching them. Compare that to the 6.8/11 at ABC, and the lowly 2.9/8 over at the Peacock and it's somewhat surprising that those in charge keep bringing out new reality TV shows if they cared about anything but the cost involved.

Well, this was a long rant. Especially considering that the only thing I'm currently pissed off about is Jay Leno being on during prime time 5 nights a week. So, combining the Leno news with their current schedule that is so high on "reality," and it looks like the network that was on top of the world 10 years ago will only be airing 5 hours of original scripted prime time TV per week come next fall. I guess I won't have to worry about setting my DVR for NBC at 10/9 central next year. Somewhere, Brandon Tartikoff is rolling over in his grave.

5 Movies You Can Watch While Playing Fallout 3

Hi everybody. As you know, we here at The Nothing Files, have been trudging through the post apocalyptic wastelands of Washington D.C. in Fallout 3. The game is huge, dark, and nasty (just the way contributer, Jon O., likes his women). But man does not subsist on video games alone. And in light of that fact, I now present to you, five movies you can watch while you're playing Fallout 3 when you're not playing Fallout 3. You got that? Good. Here they are.

5. THE POSTMAN. What? Yeah. THE POSTMAN. This movie is definitely the most hopeful post apocalyptic movie I've ever seen but it's not nearly as bad as you've heard. There's action, the hero is an antisocial rogue (paging Han Solo), and the world is probably most like what the world would be after a nuke went off. I watched this recently and I couldn't help but think that the main town in this (Pineview) was a lot like Megaton in Fallout. Definitely worth a look.

4.  Waterworld. I know, I know. Two Costner movies. It could be worse. I often times get on a Swayze kick (Point Break, Road House, and Black Dog are vastly underrated films). So count yourself fortunate. Waterworld is basically a water-based road warrior. The movie got a lot of bad press when it was being made because the budget ballooned to over 100 million dollars. Yeah, times were a lot more innocent back then. But the movie is pretty cool and it has Dennis Hopper chewing scenery like it were made of peyote caps. Watch it, it won't take you out of the Fallout 3 frame of mind.

3.  Planet of the Apes. The original, even though I like Tim Burton's remake too. What can I say, I'm just not a hater. This movie is about the last modern man on an earth that has moved on. It's bleak and hopeless and has so many quotable lines. And you haven't lived, my friends, until you've seen Kim Hunter in a fur bikini. To quote the Beastie Boys, Ch-ch-check it out.

2. I Am Legend. This movie does post civilization New York City like no other (except maybe Escape From New York, which is awesome too, but not on the list. I know my friends, will be shocked, but I don't really consider it that much of a post apocalyptic movie. It's more of a prison break movie. Anyway, I digress). I like the feeling of loneliness as Will Smith walks around New York, what he does, how it breaks his mind. This is a fun and scary movie and it definitely belongs on the list. Post civ New York here reminds me a lot of post civ Washington D.C. in Fallout. Good stuff.

1.  The Road Warrior. Did you expect this not to be number 1? If you've never heard of it, take your Fallout 3 disk out of your Xbox, throw it in the garbage, and go back to yelling racist and homo-phobic diatribes in Call of Duty on Xbox Live. Because, yes, there was a world before 1992. And it was good. This is THE post apocalyptic movie. The one to judge all others by. It's straight up action and hopelessness. Not only is Max mad, he's a prick. He doesn't do the right things in The Road Warrior because he wants to, he does the right thing because he doesn't have a choice. And it pisses him off. He starts the movie a prick and he ends the movie a prick. I love that character arc.

Anyway, there's the list. As an honorable mention, I'm going to mention the television series Jericho, which was cancelled after two seasons, but they actually managed to wrap most things up. Since this is a TV series instead of a film it goes here, but do yourself a favor and check it out. Both seasons are on Netflix Watch Now, so you can even stream it directly to your Xbox. So until I have to shoot you in the head for a can of pork and beans, enjoy. See ya in the wastelands.

HALO The Music

Looks like HALO fans will have something this holiday season. There has just been a 5 disc set of all the original HALO musical scores that have been in all the games, the HALO Trilogy. As one of the disks you get a DVD with a behind the scenes look at the forthcoming HALO Wars. Now I wouldn't recommend listing to this while trying to go to bed, you'll just end up dreaming of online campaigns, and you should be doing that instead of sleeping anyway. This would make a good gift for most any gamer fan, and looks to be a good way to drum up some excitement over the new HALO Wars game.

Grayson

The last post reminded me of one of the coolest trailers I've ever seen for a movie that will never be made. Grayson.

Martian Manhunter on The CW

There's talk that The CW show Smallville won't be returning for a ninth season, primarily because Tom Welling is now 31 and seems to be pretty much over playing young Superman.

Originaly Smallville producers had pitched The CW the show, The Graysons. A show about a young man growing up in the circus who would grow up to fight crime with Batman.

That falling through, if Tom Welling won't sign back on, looks like The CW will be looking at a Martian Manhunter show. Phil Morris would resume the helm of the Martian Manhunter and be the new superhero show on the network. We'll see what becomes of this one...

Tales of Death and Dementia

Gris Grimly's new book is coming closer to availiblity. A follow up to 2004's Tales of Mystery and Madness. For this book, Grimly will lend his illustrations to such Poe works as, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Oblong Box, The Strange Case of Dr. Tarr and Professor Fether and The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar. Those not familar with Grimly would be well introduced by this book. Grimly is one of the best dark artests around these days and his previous illustrations of Poe have been outstanding. Grimly promises that they will be even darker this time around. You can pre-order Tales of Death and Dementia at http://www.merchco-online.com/grisgrimly/

They Live Remake

Seems that They Live will be the newest John Carpenter film to get the remake job. Strike producers Marc Abraham & Eric Newman are attempting to secure the rights to the film from Shep Gordon, the original financer of the '88 film.

If you don't know They Live, you've been missing out. It's a weird movie about John Nada (Roddy Piper), a homless guy who gets a LA construction job. He comes across a weird local church and ends up finding some sunglasses that reveal the world in a new light. Almost every billboard and magazine have hidden messages of conformity, now visible thanks to the glasses. Also, some people seem to actually be aliens. He finds out that there is a local TV station that is broadcasting a signal that masks the aliens and their propaganda from everyday people and sets out to destroy it.

Ok, seems like a weird enough movie. It came out in '88 and that's where I think it should stay. It's not the best movie ever, but it had that 80's charm. It was a kitchy film with weird happenings that I don't feel would translate well to modern audiences. And how can you top a film with Roddy Piper as the male lead? Sometimes you just need to let sleeping dogs lie. Check out the original, and with any luck, this one will never get off the ground.

Friday The 13th Remake Poster

So here it is. The new one sheet from the Friday the 13th remake, due on Febuary 13th. Also, we've recently found out that Platinum Dunes shot some additional footage for the New Line Cinema remake, which finds a group of kids pitted against Jason in a cabin near Crystal Lake. While it's not known the content of the shots, it is known that a new or alternate ending was filmed. So look for that on the eventual DVD release.

My Bloody Valentine 3-D

Lionsgates 3-D remake of My Bloody Valentine, directed by Patrick Lussier (White Noise 2, Dracula III) and scripted by Todd Farmer (Jason X, Messengers 2) will release January 16th.
The original focused on Harry Warden, a miner traped in an explosion that survived and went mad by eating his dead coworkers, escapes on Valentine's Day and cuts the hearts out of the crews formen. He warns that the town must never celebrate Valentine's Day again. So of course they do, leaving him to kill the townspeople in really creative ways.

The remake deals with the town of Harmony that has had a Valentine's Day Massacre 10 years prior. When the character of Jensen Ackles (Supernatural) Tom returns home, the slaughter starts once again.

Here's to hoping!

The Meanest Of Times

Since Thom & I just saw The Dropkick Murphys in concert I thought it would be a good time to write a review of their newest album, The Meanest Of Times.

The Dropkicks have been around since '96, a working mans band that supports unions and Bostonian sports teams. They are a mix of oi punk and irish rock. Oh, and they fucking rock harder than most of the shit out there. In '06 the track I'm Shipping Up To Boston was featured in The Departed, and that introduced The Dropkick Murphys to most of the world. So how do you follow that? With one of the most kickass hard, and socially conscious albums to drop that year. The Dropkicks reminded us that they're not afraid to rock and kick ass doing it. So many bands have had the underground sucess then one big hit and fallen apart. Not these bastards. They come back swinging.

Starting with Famous For Nothing seems like a pretty good start to an album that follows the sucess of Shipping up to Boston. Tearing into the second song, God Willing, a great track about loss and friendship. Even when these guys are being sentimental, they still punch you in the teeth. This track is a ballad for smashmouth drunkards and hardcore bastards everywhere. From there we get the first single from the album, The State Of Massachusetts. A track about childern being taken from their mother by DSS. There isn't a bad track on this fucker. Even when the Dropkick Murphys are drunk and sobbing in the corner, they'll kick your teeth in. The other single from the album is (F)lannigan's Ball. Following with the bands staple of taking traditional Irish songs and reworking them. The other two reworked tracks on the album are Fairmount Hill, and the awsome Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ya.

This isn't the kind of album that you put on when your trying to close the deal with somebody. But should that end up working out, marry them. They are fucking awsome. This is the kind of album that you want to put on when your ready to get your blood up. When you want to rock out and listen to some badass shit. And if you ever get a chance to see these guys live, don't give me any bullshit, go see them. This band rocks even harder live than they do on cd, and that's pretty fucking hard. It's all drinking and sing-a-longs and inviting the girls on stage. Yea. Those are the memories that I wish weren't so fuzzy. As always, the Dropkick Murphys don't dissapoint with this offering. I can't wait for the next one.

Left 4 Dead

Left 4 Dead... The new Zombie survival game. What more can I say about this. I love zombie stuff. Movies, books, games. Anything. It does it for me. Now while I liked Dead Rising, it was so hard to get through the game. So many bugs. How many times did I do everything I could to kill a boss only to come back and found him respawned and waiting for me. I understand if maybe he came back as the undead, but as the same character? I liked it a lot but it had its flaws. And as long as I'm waiting for Resident Evil 5, Left 4 Dead will hold me over just fine.

The premise of the game is you are one of four survivors during a zombie outbreak. There are your normal infected and your boss zombies. A hunter, who leaps on you and kicks your ass untill one of your buddies helps you out. A smoker, who grabs you with his wicked long tounge and holds you while you get the shit beat out of you untill one of your buddies helps you out. A boomer, a big fat ass zombie who pukes bile on you, attracting other zombies to you. And a tank, a zombie that kicks your ass regaurdless if your buddies help you out or not. And lets not forget the witch. Some creepy red chick that kills you. That's all she does. Kills you. Your goal as a survivor is to just make it alive untill whatever rescue you have can get to you. Sounds easy right? Nope. One of the cool things about this game is you actually need team work to make it. One of your AI buddies getting his ass kicked? Help him. You need every gun you have to make it. I can't say how many times I've been pinned down and one of the AI characters has saved my ass. Also, each playthrough will have different zombies and health/weapon locations. Also the game adjusts to how well your doing. If your kicking ass, way more fucking zombies show up. Do you suck? Well, you won't have to deal with as much.

Then there's the online multiplayer feature. You can play the regular game with up to three other different people in your party. Helping you survive. Or you can play a VS mode, in which you take on the role of the boss infected to kick the shit out of other players playing through as the survivors. Yep. You can be a wicked bad ass zombie. It's awsome.

When it comes to other multiplayer games, Left 4 Dead stands by itself in that you need every other person to stay alive. Unlike a lot of other online multiplayers where you can go off and kick ass alone, you need to keep everyone alive in this one. No more running off to check it out. No more, "Fuck you! You suck! I'm doing my own thing." In this game if that's your style, you'll soon be saying "Wait! Fuck! I'm dead!"

So seriously. Check out Left 4 Dead. It's not only one of the most fun zombie games I've played, it's just one of the best games out there right now. So look for me on xbox live. We'll survive the outbreak together.

Battlestar Galactica Prequel

Sci Fi Channel is going forward with a Battlestar Galactica prequel to be called Caprica. The events in the show will take place 50 years prior to the attack on humans by the Cylons. Staring Eric Stoltz (The Prophecy, Killing Zoe), Paula Malcomson (Tombstone, The Green Mile) and Polly Walker (Rome). The show will be produced by Universal & executive produced by Galactica alums Ronald D. Moore and David Eick and also Remi Aubuchon (24). Jeffrey Reiner (Friday Night Lights) is slated to direct. Caprica seeks to be a more family drama style show, focusing on two rival families and dealing with, among other things, the implications of emerging AI.

Now I'm getting on late with Battlestar Galactica I know. I was acutally supposed to get the first three seasons in the mail today, but because no one can find my house, I have to wait untill tommorow to pick them up. From what I keep reading though, if this show lives up to half of it's hype, I'm in for some good tv watching. I don't know how into the whole family drama thing that Caprica is going for, but I guess I did enjoy The Sopranos and Six Feet Under, and that's how they would best be described. And come one, it's got Eric Stoltz. That alone peaks my interest. Be on the lookout for this show around the time Battlestar Galactica is wrapping up, early in 2010.

Mortal Kombat Vs DC Universe

Video gamers are having the best winter ever. With such awsome titles as Fallout 3, Left 4 Dead, Rock Band 2, Dead Space and Call of Duty 4 hitting shelves, it's a great time to sit down and plug in. That's one of the main reasons that you've heard so little from us here at the Nothing Files as of late. Video games are consuming us. At least that's why I keep hearing the James Bond podcast is still unreleased. But out of all those games, one of my favorites right now is Mortal Kombat Vs DC Universe. This game is the balls.

I've always been a big fan of fighting games. When I heard that Yoda and Darth Vader were going to be the added fighters in Soul Caliber IV I went into geekspasms. I grew up on the arcade games of Tekkin, Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter. And as I'm pretty sure most of you know, I loves me some comics. So when I heard Mortal Kombat Vs DC was coming out, well, I'm not going to tell you what I did. What I did next though was buy the fucker and it's been pleasently ruining my life ever since.

The concept behind the game is due to being a big godlike asshole with no real understanding of the damage he can do, Superman creates a dimensional rift, merging the worlds of Mortal Kombat the the DC Earth. Due to both worlds trying to exsist in the same location, the fighters on both sides start to be consumed by a rage, thus allowing heros like The Flash to fight Shazam. Only through intensive fighting can this situation be remidied. But of course, that's where all the fun is.

Mortal Kombat is fun because you can get by with just being a haphazard button masher. Yea, everyone knows it's a bitch move to win with a sweep kick, but it gives even novice gamers a chance to kick some ass. But the real fun lies in knowing what your doing. Being able to be either of two of my favorite comic book characters, The Batman & The Joker, has been one of the most fun aspects for me. Just like other Mortal Kombat games all the fighters have different strengths and weaknesses that lends to different gaming styles. So far my favorite fighter has been The Joker. He's just so fucking fun. His attacks are more of the comic book style, pulling out oversized bombs and a big extending punching glove, but his finisher is amazing. In this one, hero fighters don't have fatalities, they have heroic brutalities, keeping with the heros don't kill thing. Villains on the other hand. They kill. The Jokers fatality is he pulls out a revolver and puts it to the defeated fighters head, upon pulling the trigger confetti and a bang flag come out of the gun. The Joker laughes and dances around before he pulls out another revolver and blows the fuckers head off. He then bows to the camera. Yep. I'm hooked.

So go and get Moral Kombat Vs DC, then meet me online. I'll be the Joker blowing your fucking head off.

The Justice League (Now With More Truth!!)

So for a long time we've been hearing about a Justice League movie. Even before Marvel was talking about an Avengers movie, there were rumbilings of a movie about the Justice Leauge. But unlike Marvel, the movie wouldn't have established actors as the leads. Christian Bale wouldn't be Batman. Brandon Routh wouldn't be Superman. This movie would exist outside the current universe with different actors playing the roles of the Justice League heros. Well here's another sutter point. It seems that long time director, George Miller, won't be involved after all. He's still working on the new Mad Max film, but is no longer involved in this project. So here's to wishing that someday we'll get an awsome Justice Leauge movie. Robert Downy Jr. is already on record saying that if they don't do it right, the Avengers movie will suck. So, here's to another super-hero movie not sucking...

Well, a few days after the info that I based this post on, Miller not on board with the movie, it comes out that yes he is. Seems that was a false story, and for all intents and purposes, Miller is still at the helm of this one. Sorry to jump the gun on this one. Still hope it doesn't suck.

Gambit

So, um... This is Gambit from the Wolverine movie... Um. I'm a huge Gambit fan. I have his first appearance in the X-Men comics. I'm not sure this is the Gambit I remember.... Well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I'm still excited about the Wolverine movie. I just don't know how excited this makes me. So I guess we'll have to wait and see. Gambit everyone...

Production Resuming.....

My own, personal production that is. I have been on a bit of a hiatus from the site lately, largely due to Fall Out 3. Fear not, however, as in the coming days I will resume my avid posting. Including a review of a soon to be had Vegas trip, Quantum of Solace: the video game, my thoughts on Nick's new love - Fall Out 3, and the best mockumentary I've seen in some time - Grand. Until the next time - fuck you Nick, Dirty Sexy Money is great and should stay on the air. Eli Stone is even better and deserves more of a chance (I can't stand losing my two favorite legal series in one year). And tonight's episode of Heroes is the best of the last 2 seasons and has reinvigorated my interest in the show. I'll leave you with a great pic of the baddest Mother F'er that will soon be in the Oval office.
