All thunder and CG spectacle, Roland Emmerich’s new 2012 hits theaters in November, but you can get a sneak peek at the fall of Los Angeles (how many times has Emmerich destroyed this city??) after the jump. Buckle up.


It’s the eighth studio album from the Philly-based band, and between working their regular Kimmel night show gig and doing live shows for other artists, they’ve found time to evolve their sound. Or perhaps it’s retro? Either way, it’s a refreshing banger during this continuing resurgence of quality hip-hop.

“How I Got Over” is both the name of the single and the album due this October. Give it a listen after the jump, won’t you?


So who else was hooked in by last week’s premiere of Flash Forward? In case you missed it, Flash Forward is the new ABC sci-fi drama about the world experiencing a simultaneous black out for a duration of two minutes and 17 seconds. In this period of time everyone was knocked out and some experienced a dream-like vision of the future. When people awoke from the blackout, all chaos broke loose. It’s not just New York City, it’s not just the United States, it’s a global occurrence.


Sorry for the lazy post, fam, but I was just about to get some sleep when this story came across my lap. There’s a video after the jump, but the body of the post is a total cut an paste job from a Japanese gaming news website:


As if the casting news for this movie wasn’t bad enough, this trailer cements it as the very definition of EPIC FAIL. Look, there’s no light at the end of the tunnel here. No positive spin to make gamers feel better. At least Ray Park had something to do between gigs. Is that enough positive spin? No?

Well, the guy in the picture? That’s Ray Park. He’s supposed to be Rugal, the 7 foot tall last boss of King of Fighters…

…With regret, the video comes after the jump.


Earl Simmons is infinitely entertaining. The man said that the world wasn’t ready for a black president named Obama (he seemed lucid, but didn’t quite know who Obama was and this was shortly before inauguration). This man became a pastor, then a crackhead, and then was arrested for possession of CRACK. Now, fans can add MMA fighter to his insane list of accomplishments. I didn’t think this was legit until more stories started running with it, but alas. It’s been all downhill since the “Who We Be” single, hasn’t it?

Damn X. Just…Damn.

See the fight card after the jump.


Sometimes you come across something on the net that’s just too cool for words. In this case, an Invisible Man Photographed. How so? Ask Liu Bolin. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to see him until after the jump.


You know, I’ve watched this movie again since we originally bashed it on the old podcast, and I still don’t like this drivel. Nothing against Hugh Jackman and crew. It’s just that Bryan Singer was amazing, setting a tone and energy that I think is without equal in the Marvel movie franchise. I’m in the minority, though, because according to The Hollywood Reporter:

“…20th Century Fox Home Entertainment’s “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” was the week’s top home video seller for the second consecutive week, once again topping both Nielsen VideoScan’s overall First Alert sales chart and the Blu-ray Disc sales chart.”

So I’m going to suck up my distaste for the movie and just give props to Marvel. At least this paves the way for more Marvel movies, and possibly, a proper Ryan Reynolds Deadpool movie. This is, of course, AFTER he finishes Green Lantern.


Sorry if this is late. I don’t watch Leno, nor apparently, does most of America. However, last week Paul Reubens aka Pee Wee Herman made an appearance to promote his revived stage show…and all was good. Pee Wee is just as creepy as ever (this is a compliment), and I’m just glad to see that he has possibly outrun his sordid past. I’m rooting for the guy. Pee Wee’s Big Adventure happens to be one of my favorite movies. Ever.
To see a man who clearly doesn’t age, doing a bit that clearly doesn’t get stale, go right ahead to the video of the Leno show after the jump.


Everything I hear about this damn project sounds amazing. Now, it’s all about everything I SEE, and the anticipation for spring 2010 is excruciating. I’ll forgive DC for Superman/Batman: Public Enemies because, clearly, their attention was focused on Crisis on Two Earths. I knew that Dwayne McDuffie was on the writing chores – which was instant purchase for me – but I did NOT know that Lauren Montgomery was handling the directing chores. Blah, blah, blah…just watch the video feature after the jump.
