RIP Sidney Lumet


Movie director Sidney Lumet died this morning at 86.

RIP Sidney Lumet!

This Oscar winning director will always be remember for over a dozen and more movies he did through decades.
Such as the Michael Caine & Christopher Reeve's movie Deathtrap, the musical The Wiz or Al Pacino's Serpico.

VGR Tron 2.0



For a very long time since the 80s, director and Tron-creator Steven Lisberger had been trying to launch a sequel to his beloved cult movie. But since the series had never really been a big mainstream hit, a sequel never was on Disney's top priorities. That is, until recently.

Lisberger pitched many, many screenplays these last decades.
On top of these were mostly stories featuring either the son of Alan Bradley or the son of Kevin Flynn, in case the original actors were starting to get older for the roles and/or wouldn't manage to be part of the new movie.

This game is about the plot following the former protagonist.

Most of these scripts were either called Tron 2.0 or Tron Legacy - which are in my opinion, quite catchy names and fitting for this universe.

Let's check out the sequel called Tron 2.0~

And you know what I found?

Generation 90s POWAAAA! - Dr. Zitbag OPENING theme

I was thinking, since I posted many cartoon/animes opening in the past, I really need to add an "Opening" or "Intro" label.
I'll create it for this time and I guess I'll be retro-actively adding it to past blog posts.

Anyway, I was checking out some old cartoons I like on youtube when I remember to check out of my favorites.


Today's subject, Transylvania Pet Shop!

Gamin' NEWS! Sonic 20th Anniversary «Generations» Teaser Trailer

So here it is.


The first video of Sonic's 20th Anniversary game!

CBR JLA: Year One

 


Over the years, DC Comics released a lot of Year One titles.
Afte rthe big crisis of the 80s, the Post-Crisis DCUniverse was brand new to explore. Most books kept their old and classic roots (like the ongoings Green Lantern, Flash...), others were given a fresh start (Wonder Woman, Superman: The Man of Steel,...) as I already discussed in my Batman: Year One review.

As for DC's first team-up book, the Justice League, it wasn't clearly defined for a while. But with Batman keeping for himself in Gotham, Wonder Woman arriving late in "man's world" and Superman protecting the world all by himself the roots of the team wasn't as clear as it seemed.
That is where Mark Waid came in.

Do the Shepard

Time to learn a new dance!

Gamin' NEWS! Green Lantern's light, in pixels


Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters!
That's not the name of a sequel of the upcoming movie already.
That's the name of the game they're improvising making to coincide with the movie's release.

New template for the blog!

What do you think?

It was time to change things up a bit.
I guess I'll be tweaking it up alongside, this week.

So it goes better with my parody blog:


I made various versions of this background, featuring either only comic books stuff, movies stuff, gaming stuff, a mix of all, just Heroes! panels... I'll be using them be it on websites like ComicVine, etc..

- Eyz out~

Gamin' NEWS! Max Payne 3 continues to look awful


Remember this Max Payne 3 (above)?
Well, there's new infos + some new pics around.

So Rockstar, that already bastardized Red Dead (yeah, yeah.. I know you guys love it, but it doesn't have a thing to do with the arcadysh Red Dead Revolver) into a GTA mod will now be doing the same to the Max Payne series.
Now, listen to me. I wouldn't have a problem with these sequels they're turning into GTA-likes. Hell, if they were turned into original IPs or be spinoffs of GTA I wouldn't.
But they're simply using well known brands, established games that were successful to sell their new games.

Anyway - back to Max - this new game will follow-up the plot some years after MP2, as they said recently.
We'll be able to play with Max at various points, because time will have an impact on plot. A time-bending story?
I'm not sure what they're implying, if it's only the story that will be told in a non-linear way as past Max Payne games. Or if we'll actually affect the past and change the future or something...?

Anyway, here's new pics of an haired Max - that still doesn't look like Max nevertheless.



We'll be able to play with Sam Fisher/Splinter Cell's grandpa? Where's Max?!
