NEW TATSUNOKO vs CAPCOM JAMMA TRAILER

Here's a new trailer for TvsC with some new character surprises.

Available of the Nintendo Wii and the import PS3 ( oh joy! )

BARACK SLAYS AT THE 2008 AL SMITH DINNER

Discussing politics really isn't my bag, but I have to tell you his comedic timing is spot on.

I've overhear people saying " Oh, someone wrote those zingers for him" but even the best comedians use writers and good writing is only half of the comedic equation, a good comedian knows how to pace the joke, deliver the joke with a straight face as he takes you one way with the gag, changes tempo, and takes you to another place when delivering a punch line.

If you want to see what I mean, check out George Carlin. He was a masters of great comedic delivery

I'm a connoisseur of good stand up comedy and comedic timing and I have to tell you Barack is spot on.

I'll wait till I see the official trailer to pass judgement.

Nice Casshern statue from RAWS

Even if you don't know who casshern is, ( don't worry you will once Tatsunoko vs Capcom is released for home consoles ) this is a sweet looking statue.

but at around $160 US Dollars plus shipping, it's a little too rich for me.

( ah disposable income....how I miss you )

MARVEL vs CAPCOM 2: MAY BE COMING SOON FOR THE PS3 & 360 WITH ONLINE PLAY!

Here's what I just read over at 1up.com :

According to a new listing on the Entertainment Software Ratings Board's website (via NeoGAF), it appears Capcom's classic crossover fighting game Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is heading to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, more than likely as a digital download over Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network.

As usual, the mere appearance of a rating doesn't technically constitute as an official confirmation, but there's a bit more evidence backing this up. A couple of NeoGAF posters also relayed images of what sure seems to be Marvel vs. Capcom 2 listed on PartnerNet, Microsoft's closed version of Xbox Live used by developers to test unreleased games online. Not only does this seem to further confirm the existence of MvC2 for the 360 and PS3, but even better, it suggests it will indeed have online play.

But it does leave one to wonder -- if the game is already being tested online, and if it already has an ESRB rating, why wasn't this announced at Tokyo Game Show last week? Regardless, if (when?) we get an official confirmation, we'll let you know.

Keep your fingers crossed.

GRANDAIZA'S GUIDE FOR DEALING WITH WALL STREET

These are tough, uncertain economic times that we are living in and I've come to terms with the need for a 700 Billion dollar bail out, I just think it should have gone to mortgage holders and then worked it's way up to the companies holding these mortgages.

but any who, what's done is done and now we as tax paying citizens are funneling money via the Treasury department into the financial markets by purchasing floundering securities in the hopes that they will yield a tidy profit when the smoke clears.

in the mean time, I think it's every New Yorkers duty, since we're so close to these Wall St. bums , to give every stock broker, ( or if you Luck a CFO or CEO of these hives of scum and villainy ) you see and give him DA BUSINESS.

And just in case your new to the Greater New York Tri-state area, here's a nice little cartoon that shows you what I'm talking about..

Stewie, your on...



..And if they still done cough up the dough...

WHY THE 80'S GI JOE CARTOON SERIES JUST DOESN"T WORK AS A MOVIE

As fan of the 80's GI JOE cartoon series, I like the over the top villains, the cheesy but still cool themes, the colorful costumed characters and the over the top devices used to threaten mankind ( The Weather Dominator , The Mass Device , The Triangle of Darkness ....Fucking grade A stuff ) all of these silly things work in a cartoon series or a comic book because fans of both mediums expect a little Bullshit with their entertainment.

It's what kept John Favreau's Ironman from battling A 50 story FING FANG FOOM in purple underpants in the movies or Brian Singer's Xmen From fighting Magneto on Asteroid M. It's because their are just some things that do not belong in films.

and when it comes to GI JOE it just doesn't work.

here's what I mean:




General Hawk in the cartoon, with his Jet pack , shooting lasers beams at the enemy looks perfectly at home in the cartoon world.

( go get em Soldier )













Now Here's Dennis Quad as the same character





He looks like a crotchety old fart devoid of any excitement. an unoriginal, uninspiring boring uniform on a haggered Hollywood actor looking to cash in on one last payday..so sad























I could go down the roster of characters VS cast members but just looking at the movie cast (Marlon Wayne) in their Batman begins suits , But I already covered that a few months ago (CLICK HERE TO SEE THAT POST)

Studios need to think do people really want to see this before sinking a wad of cash into a movie based on a 80's cartoon that to be honest had some fun episodes but really didn't have enough material to make a live action TV series out of let alone a big budget Hollywood feature.

Paramount pictures should can this now and cut their losses.
( sink the remainder of their movie budget into a sweet Joe game Ala army of two )

Just for shits and giggles , here's the intro to the REAL Gi joe movie intro.

And now a shameless plug...

Barnes and Noble will be launching their community social site next week. I was thinking starting a profile and linking all of the stuff that I mention on this site to the new B&N profile.
