If you’re a child of the 80s you surely remember ALF! This Alien Life Form was the star of a successful sitcom that no one cares about anymore. But hey, no one cared about Garfield or Alvin and the Chipmunks, but that didn’t stop them from turning into successful film franchises! That’s right, there’s an ALF movie in the works!

Hollywood Reporter tells us that Sony Pictures Animation has aquired the rights to the franchise and plans on making a live action and CG hybrid film. That’s right, no more puppet, he’ll just be bad CG this time around! Will Gordon Shumway still be from Melmac? Will he once again be shacking up with the Tanner family? Will he still try to eat cats? If he does, will Seth McFarlane be involved? Will he be going to the city like those stupid Smurfs? Is there any chance this movie won’t be horrible?

If you were a fan of ALF back in the day and hate yourself, why not pick up the DVDs which include episodes which are conveniently edited for syndication!

First pictures of official Wii U game box art are hitting the ‘net this week, and it’s… pretty much as expected! Rather reminiscent of the GameCube’s purple crescent, actually.

Xbox 360 owners rejoice! Our love-struck hero is not only being joined by his roommate Wallace Wells as a new playable character, but up to three of your friends can join Scott Pilgrim’s posse via online multiplayer. However, these new powers also come with a 400 MS point price tag. Wait, we’re still using MS Points? Weren’t those phasing out this year?

Looks like Parkinson’s has claimed another of Hollywood’s greats.

The L.A. Times today reported today that actor Bob Hoskins announced his retirement today after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. If you don’t happen to know Hoskins (and if not, shame on you; you’re a bad geek), then perhaps the movie titles Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Hook, Brazil and Super Mario Bros. might ring a bell.

Hoskins turned 70 later this year, and follows after other renowned geek-beloved actor Michael J. Fox for retiring from the acting spotlight after being the most well-known actor who brought spotlight to the serious ailment that is Parkinson’s. (Fox later came back to acting several years after retiring, but has been no-less active in the fight against the disease and raising awareness about it)

We wish Mr. Hoskins well with his retirement and for his future.

Vulture brings us an interview with Lycia Naff who played Mary, the prostitute with three breasts from the original Total Recall. Lycia has since moved on from acting to work in journalism and gives us a very honest look at what was going on with her career and the film back in the day. Fans of Total Recall, Star Trek and even Baywatch should check it out.

It’s interesting to learn that the original plan was to have Mary have four breasts, but they found it made her look too much like a cow so they went with three. Like in the new film, this effect was done with three completely prosthetic breasts, rather than by simply adding one fake breast to two real ones. I’d spent quite a bit of time staring at these things to try to figure out which one was added, and had convinced myself it was the left breast (stage left) but it turns out I was totally wrong there!

Total Recall starring Kate Beckinsale was released today in theatres. I caught it this afternoon and thought it was great. A Q&A over at Next Movie has Kate revealing that when it originally looked like she couldn’t play the lead character of Lori in the film due to a scheduling conflict that she would have done a one day cameo as the fan favourite prostitute with three breasts!

That role eventually went to Kaitlyn Leeb who we’ve spoken about on this site a number of times. I would just like to confirm that despite a PG-13 rating we do actually see her three bare breasts in the film, though Kaitlyn herself has mentioned that all three are in fact prosthetic. She makes me wish I had three prosthetic hands!

Bonus three boob trivia: Colin Farrel’s character Douglas Quaid mentions in the film that his birthday is August 29th. This is the actual birthday of Lycia Naff, the actress who played Mary, the prostitute with three breasts in the original film! Coincidence? Probably. There are only 365 days in the year and 50 credited actors in the old film. It’s also Judgment Day…

Show notes after the jump!
