Strange Happenings this week…

So there have been a couple strange things that have happened this week around the world, the first being the amazing Norwegian Vortex that was seen in the early hours of the morning on Dec 9th. This UFO in the sky hasn’t been explained yet but the government is calling it  the result of a possible unsuccessful missle launch. I’m calling some B.S. on that one. How many unsuccessful launches have there been? How many times have people seen something like this in the sky?! Pretty amazing if you ask me. It looks like a portal to another dimension. Hopefully this is the start of some serious questioning! I am in the midst of getting more info on this right now but check this out if you haven’t seen it already…

Tron 2 Plot Revealed!

Ok well at least it’s not a remake but an actual sequel! Yeah there’s been some info released by Disney on the Tron 2: Legacy storyline and so far it sounds pretty fun plus it even has Jeff Bridges reprising his role. I know, does Tron really need a sequel? Well I guess the answer is yes. I did have fond memories of that movie as a kid and also got many hours of enjoyment from playing the video game back in the day! Now if only video games were as cool as they were back in the 80’s right? I know some people would beg to differ but really I just don’t have time these days to learn 100 different moves and work 15 different buttons on a controller. Whatever happened to video games that had like one knobby controller or a roller ball and a button?!! Something you could learn to play in a few minutes! Either way this will be one movie where the CG will be welcomed with open arms!! Check out the plot line below…

John Malkovich as the Vulture?

The rumors are flying around Spider-man 4’s choice of villains. Not long ago it seemed a sure bet that it would indeed finally be Dylan Baker who has played Doc Connors in the films finally transforming into the Lizard. Seems like the logical choice doesn’t it? Well now word on the street now from Movieline.com is that John Malkovich is being considered for the role of The Vulture.

Vegan Zombies!

This morning I ran across a fun animated short film called Tofu the Vegan Zombie! Tofu seems to be the friendliest zombie in town. That is as long as you keep that peice of  tofu on his head. Otherwise he turns back into a mindless flesh eater. This is a pretty fun little cartoon and I look forward to seeing more of them in the future! Check it out:

Found Footage Festival, Good Times.

James here, Last night Universal Dork blogger Peter Saturday and myself checked out the touring “Found Footage Fest” at the Laurelhurst Theater here in Portland. And I have to say it was pretty awesome. The entire premise of the fest is pretty much inherit in their name. It’s all found footage from old VHS tapes found anywhere from thrift stores to dumpsters. According to the website, the two guys (Joe and Nick) that put on this fest have been collecting these videos since 1991 and they watch hours upon hours of these videos to find the true gems that we get to see in the final product. Check out their tour dates to see when they will be visiting a city near you. They do a great job of guiding us through the re-discovered gold that is the Found Footage Fest. If you can’t wait, the website has some great videos. Here are a few of my favorites.
Ed Asner want’s you to be Stress Free.

The Crazies and the Descent return..

Here’s another remake (of course) of a classic George Romero movie called “The Crazies”. I have actually heard alot of good things about this one and the trailer looks pretty decent as well. I’ve been itching to see a new horror movie in theaters but to be honest now days they have too look pretty amazing for me to spend ten bones at the theater! This one looks like it could maybe be worth the money.

Doctor Octopus: One of the Hulk’s Only Real Villains in the 80’s?!

I am not sure how familiar you are with the 80’s Incredible Hulk cartoon but when I acquired the all the episides finally on a bootleg DVD (they still haven’t officially released them yet-lame!) I realized the show lacked one thing greatly. Villains!! Now don’t get me wrong the ’82 Hulk show was probably my favorite saturday morning cartoon. I lived for this show! But even back then I wondered where the Abomination was?  The Rhino? The Wendigo? The Bi Beast? Zzzax? The U-Foes? Tyrannus? The Absorbing Man dammit?!!! No where to be found. In fact there was rarely ever a  real Hulk villain on the show at all! Except one for one episode featuring The Leader, there weren’t any of the Hulks comic book baddies anywhere in sight. For some reason they chose Doctor Octopus and a few others oddly to fill in the void of villains for ‘ol  jade jaws!

Scarlett’s Widow revealed..

I just saw the new pics from the Iron Man movie that were just released but there was only one that was of any real excitement. We’ve all seen pics of Downey Jr. as Tony Stark and Mickey Rourke as Whiplash so naturally it was pretty cool to see Scarlett Johansson  as The Black Widow. It looks like they got her classic look right which I guess isn’t too hard since she just has to have some guns, red hair and leather body suit. But still you never know with Hollywood these days-I mean they couldn’t even get Wolverine’s claws to look right in the last movie! Check this out…

Iron Man & War Machine Arrive…

I looks like War Machine will be in the new Iron man sequel. I guess Terrence Howard really does have something to be upset about! It seems Don Cheadle got lucky as the Iron Man 2 poster which was just unveiled today at Yahoo Movies shows Iron Man and War Machine back to back. Personally I get pretty annoyed when sequels arrive with new actors replacing others from the previous movies. Since Terrence Howard will always hold a special place in my heart for his perfromance in Hustle & Flow, one of the best movies ever, I am still a bit annoyed he was replaced. Either way we’ll see how Iron Man 2 turns out so far it’s looking like a pretty decent follow up to a movie that I had originally had pretty low expectations for. Lets hope Iron Man 2 lives up to all the hype…
