Activision has revealed their official website for the upcoming game for X3, the third movie installment of the X-Men saga. The game features 3 playable characters in the form of Wolverine, Iceman and Nightcrawler. It also supposedly explains Nightcrawler’s absense from the third movie. Check it out.

Fox has unveiled the site for the third chapter in the X-Men movie series. While some say its the last movie in the series, I would be disappointed if that were true. 3 new stills from the movie have been revealed along with a number of extras on the new site. One of the new stills appears to feature Jamie Madrox, the Multiple Man!

Less than a month to go!

In a turn of events that frankly shocks me, Lucasfilm has decided to release a completely unmolested DVD release of the original Star Wars Trilogy: episodes IV, V, and VI.

You’ll recall slight edits being made to the THX remaster released on VHS in the 90s, and massive CG insertion to the 1997 theatrical re-release in the special editions.  The most recent release in 2004 on dvd added even more CG work, and even went to far as to replace some performances with prequel actors.

Needless to say not a lot of fans were happy, but since George Lucas had complete control, we had to wait until he changed his mind.

NOW HE HAS.

Celebrate, my friends.  Let us put our overplayed Bootlegs of CBS/FOX VHS tapes and LaserDiscs to rest and enjoy not what was intended by the creator, but what was delivered, and what we fell in love with.

Sony Pictures has put up the teaser trailer for the next installment of the James Bond movies, Casino Royale.

No sooner do I make mention of a tiny, tiny snippet of footage getting into a Coke commercial, a real new Superman Returns trailer is online.

In what might qualify as the worst idea in the long sad history of bad ideas, the not-yet-launched CW network has announced its intent to produce a Legion Of Super Heroes series for broadcast later this year. Thanks to Superman Homepage for the scoop.
While “The Batman” has steadily increased in quality from a rather dismal first batch of episodes, they still have a long way to go before coming close to the legendary Batman The Animated Series. LSH intends to jump off that new “The Batman” continuity, as you can plainly see by the character designs. Justice League Unlimited touched on the Legion in Far From Home, but as you can see Brainiac 5 is way different looking and we’ve traded SuperGirl for a rather slender Superboy. Without seeing any actual animation, hearing any voices, or knowing plot details, its hard to say if this will be good or bad. But its easier to be pessimistic, so I’m running with that. Here’s the word direct from WB animation:

One thousand years from now, a group of teenage super heroes travel back in time to recruit the greatest hero of all, Superman, and enlist him their fight against evil in the 31st Century. While their intentions were good, their time travel skills were not, and Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl, Brainiac 5, Phantom Girl, Bouncing Boy and Timber Wolf end up going too far back into the past, accidentally retrieving the young Superboy instead. Together, this unlikely Legion of Super Heroes bands together to defend the rights of all free worlds and uphold the laws of the newly formed United Planets. That is, if they don’t kill each other first.

LEGION OF SUPER HEROES combines humor with high-stakes, grand-scale super heroics to create the ultimate sci-fi, super hero fantasy for kids of all ages. Each episode of this fast-paced, character-driven action comedy will pit Superboy and the Legion against otherworldly threats and adversaries who challenge the team on both super heroic and emotional levels. The series is executive produced by Sander Schwartz, and produced by Linda Steiner and James Tucker for Warner Bros. Animation.

On somewhat related news, some really exciting Superman Returns footage has been released from an odd source: Coca-Cola. They’re featuring a few seconds of Supes flying through Metropolis and the much talked about Airplane sequence in a new ad campaign. You can see the relevant parts of this commercial from a download on Aint-It-Cool or just stop fast forwarding your TiVo and watch a commercial break sometime.

The latest info to just hit the net: No Soundwave?
Nevermore, a man who collects rumors in larger numbers than toys, has posted a massive update from a dozen sources about producer Don Murphy’s panel at TransformersCon in Toronto. He spoke of General Motors being involved, a battle between Scorponok and the US military in the desert, and confirmation on the use of both the classic transforming sound and the some form of the original theme.
Last week, we got first word on casting from IGN. In addition to Shia “LaBeouf”; Jon Voight, Bernie Mac, and John Tuturro are supposedly cast or close to being cast. Michael Clarke Duncan is also mentioned as US Army Warrant Officer Figueroa, a definite nod to the fan-favorite Transformers comic artist.
Last but not least, Quint from Aint-it-Cool spent some time with Michael Bay talking Transformers, and they speak of some concept art, a few plot points, and further enforce that the US Military is heavily involved and we can count on real tanks and planes being used.

I understand completely now why Roger Ebert doesn’t think video games are art. He paid to see Silent Hill. He also sat through Doom, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Mortal Kombat, and who knows how many other insanely bad movies.
I was not expecting much. In fact I saw it after being warned. What did surprise me is that it was worse than Van Helsing, which enjoyed nearly 2 years on my list as the worst modern movie. I wanted to clean up my language when I started this new site and every fiber of my being yearns to use words that I promised I would not use online anymore. #&@*!
Oh, it was so bad! And nothing made sense. I feel guilty even talking about it, and I saw it on Tuesday.
I won’t waste your time with further allegations of the movie’s terrible nature. I just have to write something here so I feel I got my money’s worth. I can at least say I saw it to review on the site.
