In a recent interview with MTV, which is blocked in Canada because of a joint asshatery between MTV and the CRTC, director Roland Emmerich expressed interest in two sequels to the hit movie Independence Day with a tentative title “ID4-ever”.

Nearly immediately after hearing news of this I began early plans for a sequel to the hit film Mexican Independence Day, a Mexican language version of the film. After an initial creative meeting yesterday with Daniel Gardner, co-star (Adam Baldwin) and co-writer of Mexican Independence Day, a tentative title “Mexican Independence Day 2: Mexican Independence Day-Ever” has been decided upon. Of course this title should definitely be classified as “In Production” and any change to the real film can drastically change the plans for this one. We are still quite hopeful to get all of the original cast back for the sequel, though Cheese is pretty old, and cats only live so long.

I know many followers of the site were expecting me to do Transformers for T. I think one of the great things about this article series, though, is the randomness and variety of topics we span from week to week. I like to see articles that I don’t necessarily expect on familiar and/or unfamiliar topics. I could not think of anything more random and unexpected than just about anything from a Tick story. For that very reason T is for The Tick.

Maximum Letdown: Battle Arena Toshinden 3 (PS1)
In the early days of the Playstation, Battle Arena Toshinden was all the rage. It provided some excellent 3D fighting action, showcased what the system was capable of, and it provided some eye candy in the form of the lovely Sofia. However, that was then. By 1998, the franchise had fast become a relic of days gone by (and this despite its sequel being published in the arcades by Capcom no less). As franchises such as Virtua Fighter and Tekken were evolving the genre into something greater, Toshinden was consistently failing to offer fighting game fans anything different, and as Tekken was soaring to new heights, Toshinden would slowly fade off into the darkness by the new millennium, and its developers decided to kill it off gracefully with this supposedly last entry (of course there was a Battle Arena Toshinden 4, but it was never released in America, and at that point, no one would care about it anyway).
