Dredd was one of my favorite movies of 2012 (click here for our review), but it failed to make an impact at the box office. That is a shame because the movie is as close to a perfect translation of the character as you will get.
Do not despair! Not all is lost!
2000 AD is pushing for a sequel and they want you to get involved. They have an online petition going to show your support for a sequel to the film. All you have to do is click here and in a few easy steps you will have signed your name to a worthy cause-the cause of Judge Dredd taking law to the lawless.
No one can blame Activision for contributing to the [amazon_link id=”B009AGXH64″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Wii U[/amazon_link] game drought. They have just announced that six games will be making their way onto Nintendo’s struggling console this fall including Call of Duty: Ghosts.
Really none of these are system sellers (since COD is on every system already) but it will at least give owners a few new things to think about getting, especially if you have kids.
Merry Christmas Johnny! It’s Spongebob and Call of Duty!
Microsoft’s seems to have gotten in the giving spirit when it comes to reversing policies. They will now allow self-publishing as an option on the [amazon_link id=”B00CMQTVMI” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Xbox One[/amazon_link]. In an interview with Engadget, Xbox Corporate VP Mark Whitten gave a statement confirming the change and when we would hear more about the details:
“Our vision is that every person can be a creator. That every Xbox One can be used for development. That every game and experience can take advantage of all of the features of Xbox One and Xbox LIVE. This means self-publishing. This means Kinect, the cloud, achievements. This means great discoverability on Xbox LIVE. We’ll have more details on the program and the timeline at gamescom in August.”
It certainly seems like Microsoft is trying to win back some of the support that has been lost over the past few months with these changes. Only time will tell if it is working.
And not crushing Make-A-Wish kids dreams would help also.
Tuesday we reported that It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia was set to end its run after Season 10 per series star Glenn Howerton. Check out the original article here.
Done? OK, good.
Scratch all that.
Howerton is now saying that he was misquoted in the newest issue of Rolling Stone and that Sunny may, in fact, run past its tenth season.
Cue quote:
“That was a misquote in Rolling Stone, y’all. We’re signed on through 10 seasons, but may do more … It’s a great article in Rolling Stone. I just think he misunderstood when I said we’re only signed thru 10. We still might sign on for more … Easy on Rolling Stone, you guys. It was an honest mistake.”
Let’s hope this means we will get a Lethal Weapon 6 at some point.
And if you are wondering why it is that Wolverine looks the exact same instead of like the Professor X and Magneto ones from yesterday then you are not the audience the movie is looking for. Luckily, you have a whole year to watch all of the X-Men films (not so much X-Men 3 or Origins) and grab yourself some classic X-Men collections to get yourself ready.
X-Men: Days of Future’s Past releases on May 23, 2014.
This trailer for the Keanu Reeves samurai epic 47 Ronin at least proves that the movie exist and is getting released. It was originally planned for a November 2012 release and then dated again for February of this year, but was finally pushed back again to Christmas. The initial budget was an already large $175 million then kept climbing to around $225 million. Here is hoping that Universal’s faith in the project pays off.
The first look does leave an impression with a good mix of martial arts and fantasy. I don’t know if audiences will go in droves for the samurai driven film, but I will certainly give it a shot. Where else will you see Ted “Theodore” Logan slice a dude’s head off with a sword?
We all have that inner child inside that has wanted to be an astronaut. To go out and explore the beyond for the benefit of mankind. But Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity will take a look at the horrific side of the unknown. The loneliness that will await you when you are left drifting with no hope.
The new trailer shows a bit of this as Sandra Bullock begins to drift helplessly and send out word for any kind of help. I, for one, can not wait for this to come out. It is the right kind of tension I look for in a movie.
Ubisoft has released a 13 minute video showcasing many different aspects of the new gameplay in [amazon_link id=”B00BMFIXOW” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Assassin’s Creed IV[/amazon_link] including a whole lot of boat play aboard the Jackdaw.
The open-world Caribbean looks very impressive and the real-time weather effects (especially the waterspouts) makes traversing the oceans a hazardous place.
What do you think about the latest look at Assassin’s Creed IV? If you have been turned off to the series does this look to give newfound hope for the franchise?
Most shows that run eight years may be running a bit short of material, but that has never happened to [amazon_link id=”B000RW3VDE” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia[/amazon_link]. It has provided more out loud laughs, for me, than any other show this side of Archer. It is hard to believe the gang will be entering Season 9 this fall and now it is even harder to believe the end is in sight.
The show will end its run after the tenth season according to series star Glenn Howerton. The master of the D.E.N.N.I.S. system told of the series end in an interview with Rolling Stone.
“There’s a certain point where you wear out your welcome and we don’t want to do that. We want to leave them wanting more. We spend a lot of time trying to find new lines to cross. We’re not trying to offend people or gross them out, but we’re looking to surprise them. I think we’re proud of what we’ve done so far, so it’s time to stop. I’m sure there are already a few people who are like ‘Jesus Christ is that show still on? Go away.’”
Shows can’t run forever so get all the the Mac, Dennis, Charlie, Sweet Dee and Frank action while you still can. And if you have never even attempted to give Sunny a try…da fuq?
And always remember, the Nightman cometh.
Season 9 of Sunny will premiere on the new FXX network on September 4th at 9PM CST.
