Thing is Speed probably does want to see it.

Only after I get done seeing Letters to Juliet again.

WHO WANTS TO SEE STEP UP 3-D WITH ME?

It'd better come with unlimited soda, popcorn, candy, and beer.

How to Train Your Dragon was really, really good.

...aaaaaaaaaaaaand NBC canceled Trauma as well. So much for watching regular network shows.

Heroes just got canned. Rumor has it that NBC may give it a TV movie or a mini-series to wrap up any loose ends.

I saw Iron Man 2 today. It was pretty sweet.

Whiner.

Rez, what if it has hentai in it? Don't pretend that you wouldn't be interested then.

I'm currently playing the Blur beta. It's pretty sweet.

I lasted about 8 seconds.

Abe, that isn't appropriate for this thread.

I saw Kick-Ass and The Losers last night. Both were great movies, but I loved how silly and over-the-top The Losers was.

They're advertising the hell out of the movie Knight and Day...even though it doesn't come out until June.

Seriously, it's like Hollywood was like "Let's make a movie starring the two people that will make Jacob NOT want to see it."

I will probably be seeing Repo Men and Shutter Island this Wednesday.

I'm currently playing Deadly Premonition. Creepy-ass budget title. The gameplay could be a little tighter, but for $20, I can't really complain too much.

I've been playing Alien vs. Predator. It's not bad, but there are some frustrating terrible moments in the first part of the Marine campaign.

Plus they took out most of the great lines, AND the kick to the old lady's face!

I knew that there was something missing from the final fight, but I couldn't put my finger on what it was.

I own it on DVD, they just got to my favorite part and I decided to watch it.

Totally not worth it. You know you feel like doing a roadtrip to watch a movie you could rent for $1 from a Redbox.

UPDATE: Currently watching Hot Fuzz on Comedy Central.

Well ASR, we'll be watching The Boondock Saints II: All Saints' Day this Wednesday at 7ish. If you're in the Wilkes-Barre area, then you're welcome to swing by.

After all, Jake isn't that kind of girl!

Not my Planty!

Good thing I didn't invite you over for pizza, beer, and a movie, isn't it?

I watched The Boondock Saints with some co-workers last night as we got #####faced for St. Patrick's Day. Next week we're going to watch The Boondock Saints II: All Saints' Day.

*vomit*

My stomach does not approve of last night's celebrating of St. Patrick's Day.

BOOTYSPLASH!

Dante's Inferno. I'm liking it, although some of the puzzles really piss me off due to crappy camera angles.

My brother says that the game was called Galactic Empire. It was part of a series of games made by Broderbund back in the day.

The drive back to my apartment from work was hell once I got in my town. Nothing had been plowed, and then I almost got hit back a plow truck. It was backing out of a parking lot, but I managed to avoid it by swerving to the left and accelerating.

I got back to my apartment shaken, but then I called up the University's weather hotline: SNOW DAY! That news made my day seem pretty good.

Now I'm going to sleep for a few hours and then play some Mass Effect 2.

I got all of the online achievements for Facebreaker, Madden 07, and NBA Street: Homecourt. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get all of the online achievements for NBA Live 07 and NCAA March Madness 07, and any of the online achievements for UEFA Champions League 06-07. OH WELL.

For some reason, the Facebreak servers haven't been turned off...I'm assuming that it's because it isn't a yearly game (like NBA Live 07), and there are enough people still playing it at this current time to keep it going. Or I'm completely wrong and they'll turn off the servers while I'm away at work.

BACK TO MASS EFFECT 2.

I uploaded a boxer named Peenisswaffle to Facebreak. Download him, as well as my buddy's boxer The Finger, before EA shuts down the servers on 2/2/10!

Unless he's given a space suit and helmet, I say no.

I've been playing Mass Effect 2 since Wednesday.

I GOT A SPACE HAMSTER.

What is it, a remix CD? Or an audio drama?

I thought that was pretty funny.

I watched Smokin' Aces 2: Assassin's Ball. I thought it was pretty decent - worthy of Smokin' Aces name, but not as long as it should have been. Pretty much what you should expect of a Smokin' Aces movie made with a straight-to-DVD budget.

Haven't done much else.

DVDs I picked up this week:

Best Buy
The Hurt Locker

Wal-Mart
City of Ember / Dragonball Evolution 2-pack
Resurrecting the Champ / The Wrestler 2-pack

The Complete James Dean Collection:
East of Eden
Giant
Rebel Without a Cause

The Essential Steve McQueen Collection:
Bullitt
The Cincinnati Kid
The Getaway
Never So Few
Papillon
Tom Horn

All of these movies for $100.

I originally wasn't going to pick up the Steve McQueen collection because I didn't recognize any of the titles except for Bullitt (one of Dad's favorites, along with the other classic car chase movie, Vanishing Point), but then I saw that it was the two-disc version. I knew that it retailed for $20 by itself, so $15 for the two-disc version of Bullitt plus five other movies was a slam dunk.

I seriously can't stop watching Pawn Stars. It's like Antiques Roadshow for men.

Edit: I love it when no business deal is made...most of the people who can't sell their crap look like retards.

Honestly, it was the first Mega Man-related cosplay that I've seen that didn't look like complete #####.

Or you can just ignore that and look at this:

That dude was at MAGFest...that's actually the ballroom where they held the concerts. He was in costume...two of the nights, I think. I know he was there Saturday for Armcannon, and Sunday for The Megas. Not sure if he was there in costume on Friday night for Armadillo Tank - everybody was being wowed by the guy who dressed up as Guile.

The photo makes it look not that impressive, but it was actually a pretty awesome costume. You can't see it in the photo, but he had a Metal Blade (obviously thick cardboard spraypainted) for him to throw around.

Then you should have finished by now!

One of the people there at the showing had also attended the Q&A panel. Apparently the film was supposed to have been done quite a bit ago, but it's taken them hell of a lot longer than it should have, and the budget blew up like no other (although the person couldn't remember how much they had said they spent on the movie).

I played the hell out of the original 6-player X-men arcade game at MAGFest. *does Colossus yell* OOOOOOORAAAAH!

So yeah, I was at MAGFest for the last four days. During this time, they held a panel for this movie (I didn't get to attend, but the scheduling was stupid anyway - why hold a Q&A panel days before you show the movie), and they also showed a super rough cut of the film (which I did attend).

Okay...it's about as good as you'd think it would be.

Quick rundown:

The Good:
-Wily's castle looks awesome, as do quite a few of the other special effects
-Does well with it's budget (which is apparently 3 times what it should have been at this point)
-Some nice video game references thrown in for those paying attention.
-The guy who plays Dr. Wily really hams it up.
-Proto Man is the coolest character in the movie
-The overall look of the Robot Masters, as well as Mega Man, is nice.
-Yellow Devil was badass.

The Bad:
-The girl who plays roll is annoying as #####, and the guy who plays Dr. Light isn't too great either.
-Dialogue sucks, and some of the actors can't save it.
-Most of the fight scenes aren't that good.

Now of course, with a super rough cut, you have to realize that not everything that should be there will be there. Music and special effects weren't there for some of the scenes, leaving for some unintentionally hilarious moments, and there were some spots where it felt like scenes weren't completely shot yet. While we (a 3/4s-filled room) did laugh our asses off throughout the film, we all stood up and clapped at the end. I'm hoping that they'll show a more completed form at the next MAGFest.

The movie has a lot of heart. It does. But in the end, I get the same vibe that I got from the unreleased 1994 Fantastic Four movie: Lots of heart, but it would've been better (or at least tolerable) as a syndicated Saturday afternoon show. As a fan-made film, it's not bad. As a regular film...it's really not that good.

I bought a copy of Rockboard at MAGFest's auction today. ENVY ME BITCHES.

Rest of the community: Dude, do you even own a Famicom, much less read Japanese?

Me: ...##### you guys.

I've been playing a ton of Shadow Complex today...I really love this game. I'm not sure where I am in the story, but I'm having a lot of fun playing it. I hope that Chair can one day wrestle away the rights to Advent Rising so they can finish the story one day.

I've also downloaded Secret of Monkey Island: SE, Castle Crashers, and Battlefield: 1943.

The Bayonetta demo is fun. It makes me wish that I had finished Devil May Cry 4.

Let me guess, they didn't release WCI, II, III OR Privateer first.

EDIT: I'm not sure how many of those, if any, got PSX releases though.

Wing Commander III was the only other one to get a PSX release. The original Wing Commander and I think Secret Missions got a PSP release through EA Replay.

I don't know whether I should laugh or cry at the sight of that image.

Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom got released on PSN today as $5.99 "PSOne Classic" download.

*weeps*

Well, Wikipedia says $237 million.

They (the IMDb) say $230 million, but I have heard the $320 million number before.
