Movie Trailer: Cowboys & Aliens


Iron Man director Jon Favreau steps into another comic adaptation. Cast includes Harrison Ford, Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde, and Sam Rockwell. Screenplay by Damon Lindelof (LOST) Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman (Star Trek, Transformers).

Synopsis: Aliens shoot at Cowboys. Cowboys shoot at Aliens. It may be slightly more complex than that, but its a teaser trailer so you don’t want this paragraph to spoil the whole thing.

HD Trailer is available on Yahoo.



Beast Machines Transformers: 10 Years Later Video



Yes its true, November 17 in the year 2000 was the US air date of the final episode of Beast Machines.

And even though it has been a decade since the most controversial Transformers series, it still feels like a turning point in the saga. But really it was the end of the saga.

Some credit for this video goes to Mr. Plinkett, who taught me that if you hate something enough, you can talk about it.

If you didn’t think the above video ruined the show for you, it is currently available on DVD.

First Ever GREEN LANTERN Movie Footage!

Next Tuesday, “Entertainment Tonight” will show off some near finished footage of Green Lantern. In order to promote that footage they’re using the same footage. Its quick, but you see Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, some planes flying, the full-on suit, the ring coming to life, and… Kilowog! Blake Lively is also in there for a sec or two as Carol Ferris.

So, as a mish mash of low res footage before we get a real trailer… what do you think?



Brave New Films Steals Pac Man Game For Site


Brave New Films, a progressive viral film site born out of the 2008 election, has taken a sharp stab at conservative pundits. Unfortunately they did so by slandering a classic video game character in the process.

An email sent out of subscribers and an update on their home page shows a headline “Pac Man vs Palin? You Betcha!” paired with an image that depicts the Namco owned character chasing former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin like one of the enemy ghosts. In the text they refer to him as “Progressive Against Conservative” Man though there is little mistaking the character, right down to the basic yellow pie shape.

The game itself is identical to the original Pac Man, with a purple maze instead of blue, and the ghosts replaced with Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, and Bill O’Reilly. When a player eats a power pellet and then eliminates an enemy ghost, an audio clip from one of the conservative pundits plays. Likewise, when a pundit catches Pac Man, a clip taunting the player also runs.

Parody and satire are well and good, and fair use laws when paired with non profits are generous and fair. However, it cannot be mistaken by my eyes that Brave New Films and its founder Robert Greenwald are guilty of stealing Pac Man for their own gain. There are millions of unique or even similar flash games available and plenty of like-minded developers who could’ve made a game for Brave New Films. Instead they took an existing idea and willfully modified the visuals and audio. The core game mechanic, the very thing that makes Pac Man an arcade classic, is completely unchanged.

Brave New Films did not respond to requests for comment, we will update if they do. The game is currently still available at http://bravenewpacman.com/
