This is the Japanese trailer for War of the Rohirrim, and it would appear to be for an entirely different and much better movie.This film looks like it was directed by Kenji Kamiyama, the guy who made Ghost in the Shell S.A.C. and the Ultraman TV series.I am now more than a little curious about which version of this flick is going to show up in the theaters. Was this Warner Brothers marketing department being honest about this being a...
I. Hate. You. All.The Darkness is descending upon us. Season 2 of Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will sweep over the world in less than a week now.Amazon is making the laughable promise that they will be truer to the lore this season. The problem is they can't be because they wrote themselves into a corner two years ago. Judging from the trailer they are clearly hoping you forgot all about it. Unfortunately this...
I can’t believe this is still trending on X. It’s been three days and the Sith Shipper Simps are still sobbing about The Acolyte being canceled. Normally I wouldn’t still be covering this but the latest line complaint is too funny to ignore. “The Star Wars Incel Dude Bros won!!!!”Okay, ladies first of all it’s fundamentally impossible to be both an Incel and Dude-Bro at the same time. A guy is pretty much stuck being one or the other. Also,...
This 2007 Spanish movie is proof that you don’t need a big budget to make a good film. It’s really more of a thriller than science fiction, although there are a few sci-fi concepts regarding time travel and paradoxes. It’s nothing you aren’t already familiar with if you’ve read Heinlein’s All You Zombies. Hector and his wife live in the Spanish countryside. One day Hector is scanning the forrest surrounding their house and sees young, beautiful blonde girl. Since he was...
Four years in the making and Disney’s Star Wars: The Acolyte is scrapped. I reported on it briefly last night and I figured that was all that would needed on the subject. However, there are people who seem to be genuinely upset by this. I could understand Lesley Headland and her crew being down in the dumps but these are people who aren’t paid by Disney, I know that because Disney wouldn’t throw money to shills for a failed product...
One of the most versatile voice actresses in the field of anime has passed away. Atsuko Tanaka died last night at the age 61. Her 292 credits stretch back 30 years, during that time she voiced everything from Black Jack and Ghost in the Shell to Miss Marple and The Cat Returns.
There will be no season 2. My shocked face is broken.
It’s an incredible irony that the greatest science fiction horror movie of all time started life as a comedy.Dan O’Bannon’s first script, shot with his friend John Carpenter, was the cult classic Dark Star. It’s about a scout ship on a 20 year mission that looks for “unstable planets” then destroys them with an AI controlled super bomb. The crew spends three years in cryosleep between missions, (sound familiar?) One of the characters, Sergeant Pinback has a pet alien that...
It's from Comicbook.com so they are going to great pains to avoid mentioning certain... Uh... Things.Just two months after news broke that Coraline filmmaker Henry Selick was planning to adapt Neil Gaiman's The Ocean at the End of the Lane, the filmmaker now says it looks like that movie is in a pretty uncertain state. At the time, Selick had said he hoped to make it his next film if he could find studio backing, but it's possible that with...
Gaming journalism is dead. It died last week.Gideon Litchfield, the Editor and Chief has thrown Wired’s credibility completely down the toilet. He has come forward defending Wired’s ludicrous 1/10 rated review of Hogwarts Legacy.There is no part of this review that isn’t laughably incompetent on every level. It fails at everything a review should try to do. The reviewer in question “Jaina Grey” doesn’t do game reviews at all. Jaina’s beat (sorry for that choice of word) is anal sex...
