Hard Candy

Hard Candy

We've discussed Hard Candy several times on this Blog but I recently realized that I've never seen the trailer. Well, now I have.

Hooked on a Feeling

David Hasselhoff - Hooked on a Feeling

From Iwatchstuff, "David Hasselhoff's 14-year-old daughter attempted to commit suicide last night by trying to "cut herself." She was taken to a local hospital for treatment although her condition isn't being disclosed.

I don't want to be too insensitive about this, but I can see how waking up every morning knowing you might see your dad doing this (watch the video) would really crush your spirits. It's tough enough being a teenager, but combine that with being The Hoff's kid and there's really no way you're gonna make it through life without trying this at least once."

Another crappy holiday-themed movie on its way

From Iwatchstuff, "Matthew Broderick and Danny DeVito are rich, white suburbanites competing for the most impressive Christmas light display in their town in the new trailer for Deck the Halls, this holiday season's big shitfest. I swear this same movie comes out every year with a slightly altered cast and a different cute name based on a Christmas song. So why do I end up loving each new incarnation more than the last? Oh, right, that serum I drink that makes me retarded."

Ghost Rider Poster Rides Into Our Hearts

From Iwatchstuff, "This new poster for Ghost Rider is good if only because it will provide a valuable artifact when future generations wonder why our civilization failed. Actually, that is the only good thing about it."

Uwe Boll continues to be a cancer upon the world

From Bloodydisgusting, "Come on, seriously! Director Dr. Uwe Boll just beat the crap out of us journalists and has now proven to the world that he is in fact a good director. With this major announcement now in the past, Boll is ready to embark on a new future, with his astounding directing skills he is set to do sequels to both BloodRayne (review) and Alone in the Dark. Read on for details.

JoBlo writes:

"According to an inside dude named 'Boll-Beater', infamous German videogame director Uwe Boll is setting his boxing gloves aside for now, so that he can continue directing POSTAL, based on the videogame of the same name, and ultimately get back to a couple of his previous films, including a possible ALONE IN THE DARK 2 starring Christian Slater, and BLOODRAYNE II: DELIVERANCE, which would be a vampire western!

The film is apparently slated to start shooting in January of 2007 with aforementioned hottie, Kristanna Loken, ready to return as Rayne herself."

More laughs for me? Bring 'em on!"

WarGames Getting Nerdier Sequel

From Iwatchstuff, "It's refreshing to see that, despite all the hokey romantic comedies aimed at being date movies, there's still a movie willing to say, "just by considering buying this ticket, you will never, ever get laid." WarGames, the movie that made it sort of cool to be a hacker in the '80s (the accompanying obesity was still not cool), will have a sequel directed by Stuart Gillard according to Production Weekly:

Stuart Gillard has been tapped to helm the sequel to the 1983 Matthew Broderick film, "WarGames." Randall M. Badat has penned the next version entitled, "War Games 2: The Dead Game," scheduled to begin principal photography mid-November taking in locations around Montreal. The storyline follows a teenage hacker whose world gets turned upside after playing an online terrorist-attack simulator game against a government super-computer designed to profile potential terrorists. All hell breaks loose when Homeland Security is convinced that he's a terrorist intent on disrupting the fabric of society.
After the intense drama of United 93 and World Trade Center, it's nice to see a film willing to remind us of the inherent cool video game possibilities of terrorism."

Box Office is boring

By Scott Bowles, USA TODAY
Ashton Kutcher's animated character beat his live-action one this weekend as Open Season topped The Guardian in theaters.

Season, also starring Martin Lawrence, took in $23 million, according to estimates from Nielsen EDI.

The film met most projections and easily beat Kutcher's action film with Kevin Costner. The Guardian brought in $17.7 million, meeting most projections.

Season's performance marked yet another strong debut from an animated film.

Jackass: Number Two took $14 million and third place, while Billy Bob Thornton's School for Scoundrels did $9.1 million. Jet Li's Fearless was fifth with $4.7 million. Final figures are due Monday.

I'm coming to get you, Octopunk

I love this Onion bit.

Whatever happened to this guy?

Well, after doing a teensy bit of research (I looked on eBay), it seems he's either out or due to be out soon. One seller had him listed as a "presale," so that you'd pre-buy it with the idea that it would be available within 30 days of the posting. Other sellers seemed to have it with no delay, including a gold variant. So keep you eyes open, you! The Mojo series of Marvel Legends figures is series #14, if that helps.

This is the first ML fig I've ever thought about getting. Good thing for that beauty shot up there; he doesn't look as appealing in the package.

Star Wars 30th anniversary

Below are some examples of the new Star Wars figure packaging.

Vader has a new hat

Man, how lame is this?

A gaggle of Star Wars figures

Even more random Star Wars figures

Ready for a little commando raid? This Internet exclusive set of action figures brings you what you've been craving, unless you missed out on who these are and just how great they can be!
This special collector's set of figures brings you everything you need for battle, including:
1x Delta Three-Eight / RC-1138 'Boss'
1x Delta Four-Oh / RC-1140 'Fixer'
1x Delta Oh-Seven / RC-1207 'Sev'
1x Delta Six-Two / RC-1262 'Scorch'
1x Geonosian Warrior (purple)
1x Geonosian Warrior with Blaster
1x Sun Fac
(Subject to change.)

Each figure comes with weapons and accessories needed to fight the good fight during the Clone Wars!

Taken straight from the commando raids in the hit LucasArts Xbox title Republic Commando, this set brings the boys of Delta Squad to action figure form for the very first time. These warriors were trained on Kamino, and were first deployed behind-the-scenes during the Battle of Geonosis, which took place at the end of Episode II: Attack of the Clones. While there, they were put to work destroying the Separatist's droid factories.

Since then, Delta Squad filled a variety of roles for the Republic during the Clone Wars including the assasination of Geonosian leader Sun Fac, the rescue of their fellow clones from Omega Squad, and some missions on the Wookiee world of Kashyyyk.

From the very beginning, it was understood that the tactical superiority of the Grand Army of the Republic would reside in its flexibility of response. Hopelessly outnumbered by the droid armies of the Separatists, every Clone Trooper is expected to be the equal of ten of his enemy. Sometimes though, ten-to-one odds is too much to hope for, and that's when you call in the Deltas.

Delta Three-eight

Known to his men as "Boss," Three-Eight doesn't talk much, except to bark out orders in a voice that carries over the fiercest artillery barrage.

Scorch

The resident demolitions expert in Delta Squad, Scorch has a special relationship with explosions and the gear that makes them happen. If it ain't broke, give it to Scorch and you can count on getting it back in at least three pieces.

Fixer

Second in command of Delta Squad, Fixer handles code breaking and computer slicing. Always at the front of a charge, it's his voice that urges his squad mates on under fire. Off the battlefield however, he prefers the company of a good, quiet power droid to his fellow Deltas.

Sev

Clones are supposed to be good at fighting, but they're not really supposed to enjoy it. So no one really knows why Sev seems to be happiest when the battle is thickest. If you're looking for him, try checking the middle of the huge pile of blasted battle droids.

Sun Fac

Commander of the Geonosian forces during the Battle of Geonosis, Sun Fac rose to his position of power through a combination of combat prowess and a calculating willingness to do whatever it takes to win.

Geonosian Warriors

Though they lack ranged weapons, their ability to fly gives them an acute advantage on an open battlefield and their powerful force pikes can kill with a single blow.

Star Wars Imperial set

Octopunk, are you gonna get all these?

He finds your lack of faith disturbing! Darth Vader's meeting on the Death Star with some of its best military minds proved that the Sith Lord was really the one in charge, able to choke someone just by gesturing at them. This exclusive boxed set of the best known bureaucrats from the classic film Star Wars brings you 7 unique 3 3/4-inch action figures of the Empire's finest. This set contains: Grand Moff Tarkin, General Tagge, Admiral Motti, Chief Bast, Colonel Wullf Yularen, Officer Cass, and of course Darth Vader armed with his trademark red lightsaber.

Famous figures

I have Freud and Obsessive Compulsive action figures sitting on my shelf at work. The only place I've ever seen this collection is at Newbury Comics, and they're expensive!

Historical Figures
Through the ages many regular everyday people have made steps in their lives to translate groundbreaking ideals to future generations.

Through history these pioneers of life strived on making a difference in the world we live in. Whether they are inventors, politicians, athletes or martyrs, they all made an impact on the way we all live our lives today.

That is why today in tribute to our past, Action Figures like Albert Einstein, Edgar Allen Poe, Abraham Lincoln, Jesus and many more have been developed as an alternative method of inspiration for us to grasp and remember.
