Tyson: Why Is This Movie Only In 8 Theaters?

Thugnificient

If you are reading this now, then there is a good chance that the documentary known as "Tyson" is more than likely no longer playing in your neighboring theater. Turns out putting an independant movie in theaters that aren't located in Los Angeles or New York, cost a chunk of change.  Tyson, the person, is depicted as an adult who has come to terms with his life.  A life filled with youthful mistakes and displacement.  This harsh upbringing then leads to his adult life which is filled with scandals and overall misfortune.  "Tyson" is great.  It is off putting, harsh at times and small bits are just flat out weird. Here is hoping an audience out there...somewhere in Brogville, will find the DVD/Blu-Ray and enjoy this documentary.  It really is something else.

Devil May Cry [PS2]: It Doesn't Get More Emo Than This

That's A Snazzy Trench Coat You Got There

I finally did it guys! I beat Devil May Cry 1 for the PS2! On my PS3! Aren't you excited for me?  Look, I know its been a while since I've updated my PS2 quest log, but I've really been working hard over here.  Making photos...I even buckled down and purchased a PS3.  So with the long wait finally over, here it is...here is how I feel about one of the longest running action games for Capcom.  I'll spoil the ending of this review...I kinda hated Devil May Cry.  I hated it a lot.

Fallen Princesses by Dina Goldstein

There Will Be No Jello TodayDina Goldstein is really on to something here.  She has decided to 'reimagine' the typical fairy tales young ladies attatch themselves to...namely princesses.  Its funny, its poingnant and starts from a very simple basis; what happens if you apply these character-types in a present day fashion.

High Tech Penis Pump Or Wave Of The Future?

I think being able to get the TV remote to float to me via my awesome brain power is a great idea.  I think we've all relished in the fantasy of having things come to us with minimal effort.  But just because its possible does not mean it should be 'so'.  Above we see people make a ball levitate with the power of a fancy technical device invented by some guy who will probably be richer than my son's son.  Joking aside, this is quite the little advancement.  I mean think about it, how long will it take for the sex industry to make use of a mind controlled penis pump.  Let's be honest here...in order for most things to become popular it has to go through the porn industry first.  See also: Internet, DVD's and horrible pick up lines.

The Left 4 Dead 2 Conundrum

Only on the internet are you going to get such a passionate furor over a game that has yet to be released. One of the bigger surprises at this year's E3 event was that Valve's new born baby [as of last year November], Left 4 Dead, would be getting a sequel by November this year. Battle lines have be drawn. Pitchforks are sharpened and raised. Go on over to the Steam forums and take a good look at what the mere announcing of a sequel can cause fans [on both sides] to take some pretty bold stances. On one end there are dedicated fans who have one 100% faith that if and when Left 4 Dead 2 comes out, it will be a quality product. On the other end of the spectrum, there are gamers who demand that Left 4 Dead continue to be fully supported and that the sequel be postponed until a later date or otherwise released for free or as an add-on or a paid expansion pack.

Twitter Didn't Kill E3...You Did.

Last week, I never heard so many journalist complain about one thing...in unison.  "If it weren't for Twitter, E3 would have had a much bigger impact on me." The reality is, because of the internet as a whole, leaks and breaking news have been scooping our witty, games enthusiast scoopers.  It is great to see the spectacle that is E3 return, but in all honesty, in this age of 'nowism' [wanting to know everything instantly even at the cost of accuracy] how can a microblogging site like Twitter be the fault of the leaks which were going to leak baring the sites existence?

The E3 Trailer Brog. [Updated 6-5!]

 

With compliments from Joystiq.com and my non-willingness to get 8 hours of sleep.  I've made a brog dedicated to the trailers and videos released from the major companies at E3.  As of right now I have: Microsoft, EA, and Ubisoft's releases below.  Later on tonight I'll be updating this brog with Sony and Nintendo's extravaganza of wankerdom.  Sorry, I'm kinda sullied on going to E3 now.  So glad to watch the live stream. It just seems like one of the worst kind of marketing cavalcades anyone could attend.  Example: Did you see the Ubisoft press conference? No human should have to endure that for a two minute game trailer sequel.

I've sectioned off the Weird Stuff, The Multiplatform titles and The Exclusives.  Let's start this off with what I think the biggest trailer of E3 2009...

***Update [6-3-09]: Well folks that should just about do it! I updated all the video I could find [from Joystiq] and all of the major announcements, barring a couple handheld gems, should be below!***

Star Wars: Old Republic [PC?/360?/PS3?]. I said it once I'll say it again...I'm not into MMO's, but this trailer is pure crack. I didn't see which consoles SW:OR is being developed, but one can only assume it is coming out for PC. It would be interesting to see a big branded MMO go to console.  Let's see how this one pans out...

Left 4 Dead 2 - Oh Boy

Yup...it was just announced earlier today during the Microsoft press conference during this year's E3 expo.  For a while I relished not being there in the shark tank vying for a good position or time with developers to score an interview. I gotta say, this trailer had me second guessing.  This was a big surprise considering Left 4 Dead just came out at the end of last year also there was a substantial update last month, so yeah...is it too soon? Don't know, but after the jump is the company shpiel as to what the background of the sequel entails and how it compares to its predecessor.

Drag Me To Hell. Yes, Please, and Thank You

There are very few images you will remember this summer...this is one of themSam Raimi, I am so sorry. I was a naysayer, I had a carton of tomatoes ready to through from the peanut gallery.  Drag Me To Hell proves that comedy and horror don't have to be an accident of bad filmaking.  Director Sam Raimi has tapped into his Evil Dead vein once again to deliver a work that nods to his previous efforts and simultaneously reinvigorating all facets of the horror genre. Go see it, immediately, it does not have robots or spaceships in it, but it has an epic old lady beat down that must be seen on the big screen.

I Love You Man...Well...Kinda

A Lesson In How To Uncomfortably Say Goodbye

I figured during these summer blockbusters, with robots falling out of the sky and man travelling back in time and exploding space demons with lasers, some may want to be in a theater that is not stuffed to the gills with people craving to be in-the-know with the most recent movie of the week.  Well, there is another movie of the week out there for you if you are willing to open your mind to the intricacies of 'same-sex hetero-dating'.
