Lair Analog Patch!? Pinch me, I must be dreaming.
Now before you get any hopes up, I need to clear myself. This is not confirmed. Okay, back to the post. Seems as though a certain someone (Doug Allen from the IGN Blogs) has played a certain game (Lair with the analog patch in full effect) and he is loving it. Apparently, it’s the cat’s meow from what I hear. And really, the only problem I had heard with Lair was the fact that the control scheme was so gosh darn horrible (didn’t actually play it myself) so this is welcome news indeed. Will be looking out to see if this is confirmed or not.
Officially, really, no doubt about it, HD-DVD is now dead.
With Paramounts official press release of them backing Blu-ray now, it is pretty much a done deal seeing as how now no studio is willing to back HD-DVD anymore. Blu-ray is the next gen format. To all who spent money on the HD-DVD, sorry. In reality, you should’ve waited until a winner was announced. What were you thinking? Unless you have a lot of money. In which case, you are probably alright. Looks like its time for me to go shopping for a Blu-ray player. Unless you have a PS3.
Former hobbit is now Beak in the new Wolverine movie.
This news is just comical to me, as I have always pretty much looked on Beak (the character in Marvel Comics) with disdain and comtempt. What kind of superhero is he? Sure, you could make the argument that he isn’t a superhero, he’s just a plain old mutant. But I still don’t like him. So when news breaks that Dominic Monaghan is joining the cast of Wolverine to play the character of Beak, it just leaves me scratching my head. I’m sure most of these casting announcements are basically cameo appearances really (hopefully except Gambit), it doesn’t help to settle my nerves on what I hope is a good film.
Two new pictures from the set of G.I. Joe
Hmmm, is it just me or does Duke look, well, vain? I’m sure its just them adjusting the makeup and whatnot, but still, one can’t help but wonder. Maybe that’s just the inner pessimist in me since I didn’t really approve of Channing Tatum being cast. Sienna Miller is still looking good. She’s supposed to be Baroness though. I guess basically, this is definitely not your G.I. Joe from your childhood.
Hugo Weaving to play the dashing hero in The Wolfman.
Having been the villain in one of the most well known sci-fi trilogy and also starring in the most well known fantasy trilogy (The Matrix and Lord of the Rings, respectively) , Mr. Weaving will now try to take on the Wolfman. It was announced today that Hugo Weaving was picked up to star opposite Benicio Del Toro as Det. Aberline, who most likely will be going up against the Wolfman. Just a guess. I like this casting decision seeing as how I love Hugo Weaving and his excellent linguistic skills. He’s not a bad actor either.
