RR The Addams Family by Chas Addams

They're creepy and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky, they're all together ooky, of course I'm talking about The Addams Family!

I read this fantastic book exactly one year ago. I thought it would be nice to revisit it for the occasion!

#Movie NEWS! The Last Witch Hunter

Here's finally the trailer for "The Last Witch Hunter"!

Vin Diesel, fake beards, Elijah Wood, and fantasy! Seriously, what's not to like in there?!

#Ad - The Thing Burger

Are you super-hyped for Josh Trank's Fantastic Four reboot movie? Well, it's out today.

So enjoy this delicious tie-in "The Thing Burger" from Denny's:



That's the closest this new Thing has ever come to actually sound like the real Thing - pun intended I guess.

MR Hot Fuzz

Possibly the greatest action film ever made.

When the heat is on, you gotta call the fuzz!

#MusicBOX - All I Wanna Do Is Drive My Van (Into Your Heart)

Here's a pretty fun mashup of two songs from Steven Universe by thespoonmissioner.

The dissonance is a bit off-putting at first, but it sort of grows on you:

#Gaming NEWS! Mirror’s Edge Catalyst gameplay

YAAAAY!! EA finally released some news regarding Mirror’s Edge Catalyst.

Here's the first 5 minutes from one of the first missions in the game:



Look at it! It looks gorgeous! I'm kinda sad to see the game's looking slightly more realistic now without the red highlighted interactive features. That made the first game so stylish. But the gameplay is here! And it looks fantastic!

Can't wait! Mirror’s Edge Catalyst will be out in February 2016.

#Marvel NEWS! Two DEADPOOL trailers for the price of one!!

#ReadThisInDeadpoolVoice

We finally got the trailer for the Deadpool movie, and it looks a-maaaaaaziiiing!

So grab a chimichanga, kick back and relax. And check it out!

They even made two version of the trailers! A version "for the kids", to be put in front of sissy movies like "FANT4STIC" (!!?) and a R-Rated cut with proper Merc With A Mouth-language.

So check out whatever version you prefer - or both! For comparison this is what you will get:

Green band trailer: “I’m very turned on right now”.

Red band trailer: “I’ll touch myself tonight”.

Enjoy:

#Gaming NEWS! Shingeki no Kyojin: The Game

This is one of the best news out there! At least, for me.

Koei Tecmo just announced a Shingeki no Kyojin/Attack on Titan game from Dynasty Warriors developers. Those have all been pretty fun depending on your attachments to the IPs (be it Berserk, Hokuto no Ken, One Piece, etc.). And the last game to date - Hyrule Warriors - was fantastically received. This sounds like it could be pretty fun.

Plus it sort of reverses the gameplay where once you was all by yourself fighting hordes of enemies, now you'll be part of an entire squad fighting titans in very small numbers:



It's just a trailer, but it got me pumped for the game!

This Attack on Titans game is coming for PS3, PS4 and Vita in 2016.

#Gamescom NEWS! Killer Instinct gets a Rash from Battletoads (huhu)

Alright. Stop making me want to buy an Xbox One, Microsoft!!

They announced a few new tidbits regarding Killer Instinct's future updates at Gamescom. Including the official announcement of "Season 3" coming next MArch.

And you know what???

FRIGGIN'

BATTLETOADS

DUDE!!

You can now color me intrigued by Killer Instinct, finally. Only "Rash" will be playable, but I'm somehow expecting the other two to make a comeback as well.



He does fit nicely into the game I think.

The game's also finally coming to PC as well.

#Gamescom NEWS! Halo Wars 2: Announce Teaser

Apparently, there's going to be an Halo Wars 2.

And even more random, it's going to be episodic. And released for both Xbox One and PC for a change.

I wish they would show some gameplay too. The original was specifically designed to be entirely played from a gamepad, I wonder if this means the new game will be a more traditional RTS since it has a PC release.

#Gamescom NEWS! Quantum Break - Time is Power Trailer

Here's a new proper trailer for Remedy's Quantum Break, which is only expected for next year on April 5, 2016.



I would have preferred a new Max Payne from them (suck it Rockstar!) or Alan Wake 2, but this is starting to look pretty neat. The "time" effect looks great. I see they also got a ton of TV actors in there, impessive!

Should I think about getting an Xbox One now or will this be coming to PC as well?

#Gaming NEWS! First proper Scalebound trailer+gameplay

Courtesy from this year's Gamescom Briefing 2015 press conference in Germany, we finally have a proper and better look at Scalebound for the Xbox One.

What is Scalebound you ask? It's a new Xbox One exclusive action game from the great studio Platinum Games. It appears to be a mashup of Capcom's Monster Hunter (did more ex-Capcom guys, from the MH crew, join Platinum recently?) with classic Devil May Cry:



Looks decent and well done, if a bit generic.

#OpeningTheme - Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

I already posted the longer original version of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt's main theme song. But here's the actual version of the music used in the intro:



To be honest I'm having Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt-withdrawal... Can't wait soon enough for Netflix to release new episodes!!!

There's a bullet for everyone. And a time. And a place. Yes... maybe this is how it has to be...

 

Time to dig out the past, M. 47! Reviews of the Hitman series:

#Gaming NEWS! New Mad Max: The Video Game trailer

Here's a new trailer for the upcoming Mad Max game that seems to be simply titled "Mad Max":



Why not call it "The Road Warrior" while you're at it?

The game looks nice. I'm not sure people remember this game is coming up. This might be the sleeper hit of this year.

The game is expected to be released on September 1st for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

#Cartoon NEWS! Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy: The Animated Series!

Here's the trailer for the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy cartoon series!



Is it only me or does this look like a complete retreat of the movie? Are they simply gonna turn the film into an episodic animated series?? I expected to see some new stuff! Why not add Agent Venom like in the current comics or the likes of Bug or Adam Warlock like in the original 2000s series?!

But since I'm a big sucker for scifi, I'll check it out at least. (Give us Cosmo, yes?)

#Marvel NEWS! Deadpool teaser

While we wait for the Deadpool trailer, here's an hilarious little teaser trailer that give us a first look at Ryan Reynolds in the role:



Sign me in!!

Funny! Quirky! 4-wall breaking! Plus we even get a fun diss/allusion at Wolverine Origins! Haha!

I can't wait enough for this movie!! Stupid 20th Century Fox, why couldn't this be part of the MCU... sigh.. (I just love his interaction with the SHIELD)

Treat yo'self to some chimichanga while we await the proper Red Band Trailer.

#Movie NEWS! New extended Fantastic Four trailer gets Deadpool tease

20th Century Fox, stop trying to get people to watch your Fantastic Four reboot, we don't care. Putting that fun little Deadpool segment at the end won't change that:

#Randomz - Jurassic World Science feat. Chris Pratt and Jack Horner

If you're like me, you probably love dinosaur facts. And Jurassic Park/World. And science. Well, check out this great video by Vsauce:



I like to believe one day we might get to finally see dinosaurs again. And dodos. And other extinct critters. I think that's a lot more realistic than, say, going to Mars.

#Cartoon NEWS! Guardians of the Galaxy cartoon

Check out the origin of Peter Quill aka Star Lord in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy animated series!

Yep, they even kept Star Lord growing up in space aboard Yondu’s ship from the movie. I'm kinda ok with that, but I somehow hoped they'll like that present-day Yondu with the original "Guardians 3000" as Marvel call them these days.

I like how the animation seems a lot better than the other Marvel cartoon productions. Keep it up, Marvel! In my eyes, the Guardians have been going nowadays through the same boom the X-Men originally went back in the 1990s!

#RIP "Rowdy" Roddy Piper

Just as I was currently preparing my review for They Live, this news just hit us all unexpectedly.

The legendary wrestler and lead actor from the classic They Live Roddy Piper just died in his sleep after a heart attack, at the age of 61.

The man was a legend and he will be sorely missed

Director John Carpenter himself has wrote a little word to remember his friend:

I'm devastated by the passing of my friend Roddy Piper. Great wrestler, underrated actor, dear friend. Rest in peace, Rod.

— John Carpenter (@TheHorrorMaster) July 31, 2015

He will always be remember for the greatest and longest fight scene ever filmed in John Carpenter’s They Live:

This brawl will never get old! He also starred in the silly but cult Hell Comes to Frogtown.

RIP Rowdy Roddy. 

Where he is, I'm sure he'll keep on chewing bubblegum and kicking ass...

#Movie NEWS! Zoolander 2 - Official Teaser

The movie nobody asked for, but I kind of expected it after Anchorman 2 to be honest:



YESSSSS!! Hope it's at least half as good as the original, and we're in for some great comedy. But has Ben Stiller done anything good recently? (Serious question here!!)

#AwesomeCosplayPicOfTheDay - Best Batman Cosplay Ever

This is without a doubt the best cosplay of Batman ever made, by Julian Checkley:

Take that Hollywood! Even your BatAffleck looks like a cheap imitation next to this costume!!

All thanks to 3D print technology!
