"Dragons are the nuclear weapons of fantasy games"--IGN

I'm not much of a gamer. I mean I used to be pretty 1337 with my CS 1.5/1.6 skillz back in the day, but these days video games don't get me all that excited...EXCEPT

The Elder Scrolls series. 

Morrowind (ESIII) was the first game that revolutionized bringing the player into a new world so expansive and captivating that it could keep them there for embarrassingly long amounts of time. The Elder Scrolls created as dense and interesting of a world as any book I've read or movie I've seen.
It was like watching Harry Potter doing coke off of Hermoine's ass.

As IGN.COM said:
"Many might associate Bethesda Game Studios with the irradiated wastes of Fallout, but slightly older video game fans know the company established itself on swords-and-sorcery fantasy. Without the success of The Elder Scrolls role-playing series, there likely would be no Fallout 3 as we know it today,"

I mean it literally consumed every kid on my block. Even Will Rippetoe who destroys games like it's his birthday still jerks it to the Scrolls.

ANYWAYS, after 5 years of lonngggg waiting, wondering if a fifth installment of the best RPG series of all time would ever come, the news was released. and today, a trailer came out.


With good reason, this is the second post in a row that ends in:

DID I MENTION THERE WERE FUCKING DRAGONS?!?!?!



Oh and this looks really funny. God bless Hollywood's coming to their senses and realizing the superiority of the R-rated comedies:

Don't Judge me

I don't care what anyone says, but I'm fucking pumped for Sucker Punch.

Zeppelins blowing up, hot girls with samurai swords, Nazis with gas masks, crazy twenty foot robots with Gatling guns, and A FUCKING DRAGON?!?! 

I'm sold. 

In fact I think the only way I'd ever have faith in this is if Zack Snyder was the visionary. Good thing. 

Did I mention there's a dragon?

What's wrong with Hollywood?

If you're one of those people that says Top Gun is your favorite movie, you probably shouldn't read this (unless you want your intelligence slightly insulted)...Oh and you probably shouldn't tell me either 'cuz I'll laugh in your fucking face.
Not that it isn't pretty entertaining.

Wonderful article from an editor of Entertainment Weekly:

Looks like more slow years for the Spec script market.

The sad thing is I would totally watch this

Michael Bay's "The Dark Knight"

New Section!

Seeing as how usually have a few beers on my Friday nights, and seeing as how I usually end up spending my come down dabbling in Emo nonsense and posting angsty lyrics on my facebook, I figured I'd expand on the trend and dedicate a section every Friday night to one wet-teen-dream twi-hard reminds-me of-lonely high-school-nights video for the rest of you to drown in.
ENJOY!

This week's, and the section's, virgin debut, is none other than:

What a coincidence

So literally the day after I did a read of "A Long Kiss Goodnight" and found a couple of old interviews with Shane Black, he suddenly reappears from his 5 year hiatus from the world of action film...to direct fucking Iron Man 3.
The only question is: will he write it too?...because if he does, I'll be first in line.
Iron Man 2 felt flat, drowned of all the originality that made the first stand out from the rest of the bazillion super-hero/comic adaptations that come out every year. No way that'll happen with the original king of action in control....Now if only Jason Statham could somehow find a star role in it. But now I'm just dreaming.

Fuck yeah

I think the film will look something like this
