Totally Nerd Core 2010

Ok, I'm shilling again. But this does fall into my "super awesome" category.

For those of you that haven't heard about this yet, for the last few years totallynerdcore.com has been offering yearly calenders that feature different "nerdy" themes. So far there have been video games, superheros and villains, Sci Fi, and this year, horror. That sounds cool enough, but now realise that it's hot, mostly naked, female models in said genera. Yep. Super awesome.

This year is horror? I can't wait for this. Just look at the teaser picture and tell me that that is not awesome. I know for the 4th year in a row, I'll be logging onto totallynerdcore.com and picking up their wicked fun and hot calender.

Oh, and there's all sorts of cool facts in the calender as well. You know how a lot of calenders will tell you when it's Valentines Day or Easter or some shit that you should know already? Well, this one also tells you when it's Judgement Day, and birthdays like Gene Roddenberry's or release dates for upcoming movies and the dates for classic film anniversaries as well. Yep, all that and hot chicks modeling horror themes. I may get one for each room.

The Cabin in the Woods

The Joss Whedon scripted horror film The Cabin in the Woods won't be coming to theaters this February. It's been pushed back until January 14th, 2011.

The Drew Goddard directed film is now also going to undergo 3D-ification! More, fucking 3D. Awesome.

I really am excited to see this film and I'm more than a little pissed that it's probably being pushed back to get it's 3D on. So hopefully we'll finally get to see The Cabin in the Woods in 2011. Unless they come out with Super 3D. Or Stripper-Vision or some shit. Actually, I would be ok with waiting for Stripper-Vision.

Leatherface in 3D

So it looks like Platinum Dunes has lost the rights to Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Well, Twisted Pictures, the company behind SAW, has picked it up.

The new Texas Chainsaw Massacre will now be penned by The Grudge's Stephen Susco, and produced by Carl Mazzocone, Mark Burg and Oren Koules. Also the plan is to contemporize the story, bringing it into the present and... Wait for it... Make that fucker in 3D!!!!!

More 3D. Ok. So, Leatherface is in new hands and they want to bring him into the present. I guess I can get behind that. I don't know that I understand the need for all movies to be in 3D anymore, but maybe I'm just old fashioned. Maybe I also don't really like wearing cheap, knock off Ray Bans to watch a movie either. Regardless, another classic horror film that's been re-made recently is getting re-made again. God bless cinema.

Marge Simpson in Playboy

Yep, it's true. Marge Simpson is going to be a Playboy centerfold.

In WTF news so odd that I couldn't even make it up, Marge will do a non-nude spread in Playboy posing in a nightgown. To my knowledge it's the first time a cartoon character has ever had a cover spread for the men's magazine.

I guess this is kind of cool, but it also just seems weird. So, if like so many men my age, you grew up with The Simpsons, you now have the chance to pick up a Playboy with Marge on the cover. And you thought life was boring.

Night Of The Demons

Recently this image has popped up online showing Shannon Elizabeth as Angela from the new Night of the Demons remake.

Joining Elizabeth in the remake are Diora Baird, Monica Keena, Bobbi Sue Luther, Jonathan Beach, Michael Copon, Tiffany Shepis and Edward Furlong.

Here's the official synopsis of the remake;
"Angela Feld is throwing the Halloween part to end all Halloween Parties at the infamous Broussard Mansion in New Orleans, where dark events transpired almost a century ago. But when the packed party gets busted by the police, Angela and her friends Maddie, Lily, Suzanne, Colin, Dex and Jason are the only ones left behind. Soon Colin and Angela make a grisly discovery in the basement and inexplicable events start to take place. With the mansion gates mysteriously locked, the seven find themselves trapped for the night... and soon they're fighting ancient demons for their very souls."

Well, that sounds pretty close to what I remember the original being. Hope that this remake is a good one. Pretty excited about the casting. I'm a sucker for Monica Keena.

While there is no official release date for the film yet, IMDB gives a February 2010 date. So maybe that's some indicator.

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 DLC

Although the release date has only been listed as soon, Marvel has announced that there will be a new character pack coming as downloadable content for Ultimate Alliance 2.

The most exciting part of that being that one of my favorite Marvel villains will be added to the playable characters, Carnage. Yep. Motherfucking Carnage. Damn, I can't wait for that.

To hold you over until whenever "soon" happens, here's the Carnage teaser video.

Bay to Kill Megan Fox

The rumors have begun floating around the interwebs about Transformers 3. One of the more interesting that I've heard is that Michael Bay is considering killing love interest Megan Fox within the opening minutes of the film.

Hollyscoop.com has reported "Michael's pretty much discovered Megan and now he's very quietly looking for her replacement. He hasn't decided if he's going to kill her in the next movie, but he just wants to be prepared."

Well, with the mud slinging that's gone on between the two in recent interviews, it's not that surprising that Bay is considering a gory film death for Fox. But come on Michael, Fox is one of the last decent things about the Transformers movies. You're male lead is pretty annoying and you're running out of stereotypes to make Transformers out of. At least don't take away our eye candy. Sure, she's not the greatest actress out there, but staring at her was one of the best parts of Revenge of the Fallen. So if you're gonna kill her, you'd better have a pretty kick ass story to carry the film. But given your track record, I won't hold my breath.

Friday The 13th Part II

Well, it looks like we're not going to have to wait too long for a sequel to the remake of Friday the 13h.

Damian Shannon and Mark Swift, the writers of the first remake are working on a sequel currently. There's even a release date set, 08.13.12.

That's not all. The 13th film in the franchise will also be filmed in 3D. Other than that, not a lot is known about the story, but currently it is planned that it will take place in a snowy environment.

Ok, cool. The first Friday remake wasn't too bad, and I've heard from the scrip writers that they plan to address some of the issues fans had with it. So hopefully Jason's second trip out will be even more awesome. Come on, it's the 13th Friday the 13th. Go all out!

Dead Rising 2

Well, one of my favorite and hardest games I've ever played is getting the sequel treatment. This February, look for Dead Rising 2.
