Why didn't no one tell me?

Is there an academy award category for mammaries?

I mean Christina Hendricks as Wonder Woman? I know it'll probably not be, but...

Not you: YOU TWO, get over here!

I didn't even know about this amazing woman until today, but she has completely revolutionized my understanding of what breasts are. Are they fake? Hell yeah. But we don't have enough women with porn-star breasts starring in our mainstream movies. All you guys swooning over Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox, I'll never understand you. I guess collagen is an aphrodisiac to some. There's pretty,there's sexy, and there's stacked, and there's I support Christina Hendrick's Breasts for the role because of their outstanding achievement on the field being stacked.

However, we must temper our excitement: the guy who is sure can do what Joss Whedon could not, Nicholas Refn ,has talked about HIS plan on Diana of Themyscira's adventures.

...because the real origin of Wonder Woman is: What if women were more powerful than men? What would the world be like? That’s a subliminal theme.

The whole idea of a woman who is basically more powerful than any man — and who will always be that, and comes from a society of women who are more powerful than men — is an interesting theme that I think can be very contemporary.

The guy made Valhalla rising, which sure is a film that exists. And his take on the material seems pretty alright. I hope it turns out well, so we can watch the deep impoications of gender relations wrestle Christina Hendricks into the ground, her chest heaving, swinging wildly her mighty  breasts of justice, dirty with sand and sweat.

Green Lantern's light on cash?

He doesn't care about the green skins either.

 Well, well well. So Green Lantern isn't making half of it's budget in the first weekend. I remember years ago, when Justice League was getting hated on, and all y'all nerds where sure it would  bomb to hell and that it would drag down every DC property until they couldn't have movies? And how they needed Hal Jordan because John Stewart was boring? Seems that the Green Lantern movie geared with fanboys in mind that has a recognizable name in the lead...is doing what you expected JLM to do.

If it seems I'm bitter over something that went down 4 years ago, that's because I am.   But now we have to deal with it. If Warner is anything like they ussually are, they'll say the stew is rotten and won't make any more DC movies. A bunch of cynical idiots will say that the characters are the problem, even though we totally live in a world where Transformers movies make money, like that franchise was ever full of tridimensional studies on the  human condition.

However, Inferno was totally awesome and insane.

The truth there is no truth. It could be great and bomb, it could be terrible and succeed. Duke Nukem Forever already exists, and people are surprised it sucks. They thought they spent all this time having production problems because the game was too awesome. However, X-Men: First Class was fasttracked by Fox and turns out it's getting good reviews. But it seems this movies with fanboys in mind like Watchmen and Green Lantern fail, while stuff that focuses on being a movie lives.

Oh, well, looking forward to movies about every Marvel character in existence. And Batman and Superman too. Lots and lots of Batman and Superman for the good part of a new decade...

Underrated videogame music that I love

You know, there's a couple of songs from videogames out there that just get no love. I, much like Fefe Dobson, swear to help them and shine my light on them. First off it's the Freezing Fortress from Clay Fighter 63 1/3.

Though it's clearly midi, the composer clearly tried to stuff as much Danny Elfmanisms as possible, and it succeeded. I will not complain. I love the Elfman. The choir, and the Oooh-ing and Aaaaah-ing and the buildup and crescendo. It's a great theme.  Maybe a little too great. Tone it down, buddy. This is Clayfighter, not the Flash TV show.


The Second one is actually more appropriate to the game it's from.

It's the first theme from Superman: The Man of Steel. Not to be confused with the future Superman: The Man of Steel movie and it's obvious future game adaptation, The Man of Steel was an Xbox game featuring Big Blue in a story where he fought Brainiac and other people. And Brainiac was from just after the Y2k scare, which meant something back in 2002-3, I guess. This theme was in the demo and, frankly, made me forget that the only reason I considered the game was because it had Custom Soundtrack. It perfectly captures the feeling  one should get when playing as the man of Steel. Different versions of the theme are used throughout. This one's the best.

Off course, speaking of Superheroes...

I can't find an isolated version, but the first song that plays in this...MhhM! You know, I always regretted buying this game fo ran X-Men fix as the second movie was rolling in, but the song struck me as just great.

Of course, some heroes wear spandex, but we all know Japan's heroes know skirts are where it's at.

And this ear worm song plays out in the first stage of the Genesis port of  Valis 3 sends you head first into the adventures of magic sword enthusiast Yuko and the rest of the gang. I never played the original, which has an even better version. This version, though, made my youth. Part of the stage involved nothing but running on your pajamas, unable to attack anything, and the theme made even that badass.

So...nothing, end ramble, I guess.
