Just To Hammer My Previous Point…

This is the original teaser poster for the Angry Video Game Nerd movie, as featured on the Cinemassacre website. I’ll save you the trouble of clicking on the link to the older posting and just repost my thoughts here, since they’re pretty much the same now as they were back then…

“It’s a nice looking poster. Mostly monochrome, mostly dark, but I rather like it.

“Unfortunately, the poster also does a good job of misleading me into believing that this is going to be something of a dark horror comedy sort of film rather than the schlock that the teaser trailer has been showcasing. In fact, a dark horror comedy film starring the Nerd character has the potential to be the much more interesting film that could potentially give that franchise a worthwhile production. I know Rolfe could pull it off if he wanted to… but he won’t.

“And it’s a shame, because in my mind, that’s probably what he’s best at.”

And after watching some of Rolfe’s older stuff, I still find a Nerd movie done in the same fashion as those older films to be the more potentially interesting film than whatever the fuck that thing is he’s trying to pass off as a movie.

Okay, I’ll shut up about this now. Enjoy the teaser poster, folks.

Breaking News: CM Punk Went To The Bathroom

In a late-breaking development, former WWE vagabond CM Punk was last sighted going to the bathroom shortly after making a few quick twits on Twitter. In other news, Jason “Douchebag” Frank is still pining for a fight with the former WWE champion because, you know, the fans. By the way, JDF, how’s that fight with Van Damme going for you?

Random Thoughts On… That Morphin Life Thing

You know, for a show about morphin, there sure isn’t a lot of it.

For some reason, I felt “compelled” (or rather, had nothing better to do) to check out JDF’s YouTube series that has him skydiving, doing the con thing, and the drama over his wife’s Muay Thai adventure… and I’m just “meh.” I suppose it’s nice to know there’s a tender side to JDF when he isn’t being a public douchebag and a cancer to Power Rangers and I suppose the show is good enough to appease both his supporters and the drones drinking the JDF Kool-Aid, but I got bored with this one pretty quickly. Nothing interesting, nothing worthwhile, nothing that can’t get out of some other reality-based documentary series with more appealing subject matter.

JDF fans might take a liking to it, but I’m gotta give the thumbs down on this one.

So… Turtles.

This one’s been out for a while, but I only got around to seeing this just now and… I am cautiously pessimistic.

Look, I know it’s “cool” to rag on Michael Bay after his Transformers movies and all that, but honestly, this doesn’t look utterly terrible. It doesn’t look good, either; feels a bit generic, almost unashamedly lifting plot elements from that Amazing Spider-Man film that I honestly didn’t care for, the whole thing seems completely cliched, and there seems to be a serious lack of ninjas here outside of those Turtle things… and there might be a few other things in mind… but other than that, I think it’s not half bad and I’m looking forward to it.

I’m holding out false hope here, aren’t I?

Waiting for the Blu-Ray, I guess.

New Flash Costume Revealed For Upcoming TV Show

Ugh. Is it wrong for me to think the costume featured in the short-lived Flash TV show from the 1990s looks better than this thing? Looks hideous.

(2019 Update: Actually, I’d still prefer the old 90s suit. Actually looked sturdier than whatever they have on now.)

Dark Horse Comics Losing Star Wars License In 2015

This shouldn’t come as a surprise. Disney owns Star Wars. Disney also owns Marvel. So why renew with a third party comic publisher when they have their own? One has to wonder what is going to happen when twenty years worth of Star Wars comics, though. Will they be reprinted under the Marvel banner? Or forgotten and cast aside in favor of a possible new universe?

Or does anyone really care here?
