SDCC 2010: The DC Duo – “Young Justice” and “DC Universe Online”

By Ayrees | Filed in San Diego Comic-Con 2010

Over at the convention, DC had a great showing, what with Ryan Reynolds giving it up for his upcoming role in The Green Lantern, and their other upcoming projects. However, what really was making people jump was more information on Young Justice, the upcoming CN series that will air and give birth to an interesting cast of characters. At the time I wasn’t happy with it, yet after getting more information from them, I’m not so sure anymore. Plus, we got to see some more from SOE’s upcoming console-based MMO, DC Universe Online…and let me tell you – glorious.

When we last heard about Young Justice, there was some question about the design and the make of the characters – primarily, the state of Aqualad. After a little show from WB at the Comic-Con, we learned a lot of how the show is going to go. Read the remainder of this entry »

SDCC 2010: Trailer Trifecta – “The Goon,” “Sucker Punch,” and “Tron Legacy”

By Ayrees | Filed in San Diego Comic-Con 2010

Ah, it does feel good to be back, doesn’t it? In case you were under a rock for the past week, or simply didn’t care, the San Diego Comic-Con came and went. It left most with the delicious taste of alcohol and the cheap feeling of nerd. What really goes on at the SDCC is a combination of the big name video games and bigger name comics and stories – and this year was big for the movie crowd. With things like The Green Lantern, The Avengers, Captain America and Thor hitting the box office within the next two years – it was hot and heavy.

Though those can’t always show you something, but there are plenty of other things to keep your attention. So, for the next few posts, walk with me as I take you through some of the best items talked about. Read the remainder of this entry »

Government Does Something Right For a Change

By chasef | Filed in General

Looks horribly illegal, doesn't it?

Well, it’s about damned time. There’s been some controversy over jailbreaking/rooting (essentially the same thing – usually just applied to Apple & Android devices, respecitvely) smartphone devices in the past so it’s a breath of fresh air for me that, finally, someone in a position to do anything about it had a moment of clarity. Apple, among others, has trumped up all sorts of excuses for trying to keep people out of their phone software, the nonsense ranging from disrupting cellular networks to encouraging criminal activity.

The moment of clarity: Jailbreaking/rooting your smartphone is officially NOT a crime. It’s a little odd to hear something like this being done by the Library of Congress, but they’re the group that oversees the Copyright Office, so it makes sense since these new rules are part of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act.

The Angry Bear Woke Up, And It Was Good

By Ayrees | Filed in The Angry Bear Says

It has been nigh on two weeks since a post has been lain here. I understand that things became boring, people thought I was dead and overall, everyone believed that this was a forgotten thing.

That is not the case however.

What is the case is that I have been busy working for the people over at ZoKnows Gaming, prepping their articles, meeting new people and overall, having a big-boy job. Yes, sounds dull, but you should try it – it makes life entertaining.

Avatar Returns to Theaters August 27th

By Ayrees | Filed in Industry News

In an official press release form 20th Century Fox, it’s been officially stated that James Cameron’s Avatar will be re-released in theaters with a whole eight minutes of “never before seen footage,” but only in the Digital 3D and IMAX 3D versions.

With the 3D boom in the industry, there is more of a market for 3D movies than there was back when the film first showed in theaters. The idea is that people will now have more availability to go see the movie in the way that it was “meant” to be seen, rather than its 2D counterpart. The additional footage is more or less a bonus for those that head out for the second or third time. No word yet as to whether the additional footage will be some of the fabled “Na’vi sex scene” but you can be assured fans will be crossing their fingers in anticipation.

At Least Some People Enjoy The Last Airbender?

By Ayrees | Filed in Entertainment

And by that I mean little to nobody. Still getting scathing reviews and now with M. Night having troubles selling his scripts in Hollywood, this has become one of the biggest jokes in the business. But what do the fans think? Watch the video and see for yourself – it’s all very articulately explained – “just say the name right once!”

Ridley Scott Combines Youtube Clips to Create Feature-length Film

By Ayrees | Filed in Industry News, Plot Release

As confusing as it may sound, producer Ridley Scott and Director Kevin Macdonald (Last King of Scotland) have decided to team up and create something that has never been thought of or attempted before: a film created entirely by Youtube clips of the populace.

It will work like this: on July 24th the duo will take clips that will be uploaded at that time and picking-and-choosing what they want to use from the list. This will create a unique and expessive outlook on the world and make “the first user-generated documentary” ever. Not only that, the film wil also become something of a “global time capsule” of international events and feelings – as long as “Charlie the Unicorn” doesn’t show up.

Among the clips, there will be 20 selected co-directors included in the credits and they will be flown into the Park City for the unveiling of the film at Sundance Film Fest next year. You know, as much as the idea of a film like this really is interesting, the thought that it’s almost impossible to get a coherent storyline with a bunch of random clips occurs. Yes, there may be some little nuggets of happiness in there, but otherwise it will be hard. Granted, with the San Diego Comi-con that day…

It’s 7 on the 7th… Do you Know Where Your Bungie is?

By Ayrees | Filed in Entertainment

Today marks the birthday of Bungie, the people that brought you the most in the Halo-verse and, well… they are the reason that Microsoft can stand toe-to-toe with Sony and Nintendo. In their infinite glory and humor, Bungie teamed up with the boys over at Rooster Teeth (you know, Red Vs. Blue and their shenanigans?) to bring you a little five-minute diddy of a film to give you both a little show of what to expect in the upcoming multiplayer and to just bring a smile to your cute little faces.

Also, if you don’t remember, today is the day that you can earn that fabled 7on7 achievement on multiplayer for Halo 3. So take the time, join up with some of your old friends and shoot someone in the face.

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Flames Were Extinguished, and The Benders Did Not Make

By Ayrees | Filed in Theatrical Reviews, Trailers

This review was late. I undertsand it was late and for that I’m sorry. But do you understand how hard it was to write this thing up, and NOT make it sound like I was a fanboy, or going all out and ripping it to shreds? With a movie like “The Last Airbender,” you have to be careful and not overdo it, otherwise all of your points are going to be wasted and thrown into obscurity. Unfortunately, I feel as if I did just that… or maybe because of Shyamalan, it’s the final TWIST. Read the remainder of this entry »

Blizzard Opens Their Global Writing Contest

By Ayrees | Filed in Entertainment

Nerds and LARPers alike can close those text documents that involve the fanfic of Chun-Li doing the whirlybird in that seductive way for Tassadar. Blizzard has opened up their international writing contest up till August 23rd, so you have plenty of time to get your pronouns on.

The contest is simple: you write a 2,500 to 7,500 word short story in the Warcraft, Starcraft, or Diablo canon and one lucky winner will get an all-expenses paid tour of Blizzard HQ and a talk-up with their writing staff. On top of that, they also get a great collectible package, not just writing up a fanfic that you would let your mother actually read. Just be warned: though it doesn’t actually state it in the rules, the use of Kerrigan-on-hyrdalisk action may void the storyarc. (Via Blizzard)
