I don’t know if I have ever been more baffled by a consumer electronics product than I am by Sony’s Rolly, an MP3 player that sort of rolls around and flashes while it plays music. As of today it can be yours in exchange for 400 Earth dollars.
I cannot imagine how a non-high person could purchase, use, or have invented this object. I …
“Reepicheep, a fearless mouse voiced by Eddie Izzard, is consistently appealing.” — The Wall Street Journal review of Prince Caspian
The White Witch… bit of a slag, isn’t she? Turning Mr. Tumnus to stone was one thing, but you know a girl’s a bitch if she bans Christmas. “No I’d rather not this year. Don’t fancy it. Even thought …
There’s something a bit half-baked about Dollhouse, the new science fiction series from total genius Joss Whedon. But I can’t tell if it’s a problem with the show, or just an artifact arising from the choppy way the trailer has been cut together. They’re certainly leaning on the sex pretty heavily — do these “actives” (let’s roll …
Shockin’ bloggin’ performance by yrs truly lately. Many apologies. I blame Canada, where I currently am. I came here to speak at a conference, something that I understand many people do frequently; I was doing it basically for the first time. When you go up on stage they clip a wireless mike on you and give you a little gadget that you …
INT. TONY STARK’S LIMO – DAY
TONY STARK: Pull over… right here.
DRIVER: Where?
TONY STARK: At Burger King.
DRIVER: Are you serious?
TONY STARK: Didn’t you hear me say the first thing I wanted after being tortured in the desert by terrorists for three months was a real American cheeseburger?
DRIVER: Yeah, sure… but Burger …
Bioshock is going to be a movie, apparently. Gore Verbinski (who did The Ring and the Pirates of the Caribbean movies) is supposed to direct. Roll saving throw vs. Hollywood soullessness. Wonder how casting will play out — I always thought Atlas sounded like Ewan Macgregor. And I’m looking forward to Keira Knightley saying, “I’m so …
They’re below. In theory anyway. The Yahoomatic streaming looks pretty wonky.
This movie is turning out to be extremely divisive — I’m seeing pans and raves all over the mediaverse. Personally I loved it and walked out of the screening thinking I’d seen a monster hit. Anybody else seen it?
Mostly today I’m trying to avoid listening to bad buzz about Indy 4lalalalalalalalala I can’t hear you.
I’m doing this while also trying to avoid looking at this piece in the New York Times Style section about steampunk fashion. Not that there isn’t a lot of useful information in there, but I do miss the days when steampunk was a …
I’m glad somebody figured it out, because a lot of people were starting to wonder. I’ve always liked the crew that did Star Wreck. Now they’ve done something else: Iron Sky. Not a Star Trek job, not a parody, this is original IP. The premise appears to be that Nazis conquered the moon in 1945; now (meaning 2018) they’re going to come back …
There’s a new trailer out for the rebooted Ed Norton version of The Hulk that opens June 13th. It’s here.
I think I’m finally getting the point of this movie. It’s about a sensitive guy who can’t control his super-strong radioactive alter ego. That’s it. There’s nothing else. Norton and this director, Louis Leterrier (the auteur of, …
I’ve never been way into the GTA series. I’ve been medium-into it from time to time. I played Vice City and San Andreas, but never to state of total unambiguous completion. The sad truth is, I am one of those gamers people complain about, who are totally focused on combat simulation, and there are way way better pure combat simulators …
It’s been twenty-three hours since 12:00 AM Pacific Standard Time, when Grand Theft Auto IV hit the streets of Los Angeles. My neck is stiff. My wife is mad. My dog is swollen with urine. But after almost a day of Liberty City action, one thing is clear:
Grand Theft Auto IV multiplayer blows Halo 3 multiplayer away.
Will the world …
