Video - Kill Bill Deleted Scene

Really cool deleted scene that reminds me of many old-school Kung Fu movies that used the same music, camera zoom, cheesy voice sync, and etc. However it was probably deleted for obvious reasons; it wouldn't have flowed very well at all with the movie, it just doesn't fit. Still an awesome scene I wouldn't mind seeing on its own, maybe played between the two movies as a short or a trailer.

Movies - Quentin Tarantino Remaking "Come Drink With Me"

Via WorstPreviews:
"Setting their sights on Asia, Bob and Harvey Weinstein are setting up a $285 million fund to invest in movies with Asian themes and elements.

The fund will be used to finance the production, acquisition and marketing of about 31 Asian films to be distributed by the Weinstein Co. over six years. The offering summary said the target is 21 theatrically released films and 10 direct-to-video titles.

Titles that the fund is expected to handle include Wong Kar Wai's "My Blueberry Nights," the opening-night film at the Festival de Cannes, and a remake of the Hong Kong martial arts movie "Come Drink With Me," directed by Quentin Tarantino."

Via FilmWad:
"The original "Come Drink With Me" is a 1966 Hong Kong martial arts picture that's set in the Ming Dynasty that starred Cheng Pei-Pei and Yuen Hua. The film is considered one of the best martial arts films ever made. If this is true that Tarantino is remaking the film, there will be a lot of complainers (hell, there are still people bitching about how "Reservoir Dogs" ripped off John Woo flicks). But remember how badass the kung fu sequences were from Kill Bill? This could kick major ass."

Video Games - More 'GTA 4' Details Emerge

Game Informer's Andrew Reiner is a very lucky man. He's one of the few, if not the only journalist to be able to sit down and play an early build of Grand Theft Auto 4.

Here are some pertinent details he dropped about the upcoming title:

• There are no planes. But helicopters are "one means" of flying in the game.
• Main character can climb telephone poles.
• There are girlfriends.
• "In terms of scale, it definitely feels more like a realistic city."
• The expanded content that Rockstar is planning through Xbox Live may offer new areas to explore.maybe a fifth borough to Liberty City.
• the game's length "should be comparable" to all the other GTA games

Anyway, read the whole thing yourself here:

Video Games - Guy Beats Super Mario NES in Five Minutes

"This Speed run of Super Mario Bros. was done on April 10, 2007. This was done in real-time by a player with an NES. Speed Demos Archive doesn't allow tool assisted runs (or even real time played on an emulator) as per site rules. There was no cheating/hacking involved in making this speed run:

The pipe in 4-2 that takes him to the warp zone is a glitch in the game's programming NOT a cheat.
When he jumps over the piranha plants it looks like he hits them, but he doesn't... try it yourself. The hit detection is nowhere near perfect in this game.
When he wall-jumps off the pipe near the end, thats a glitch too, no cheating necessary.
Finally, when it looks like he jumps right through bowsers hammers, he actually IS jumping through bowsers hammers. Again, this is a glitch in the hit detection.

So while he does exploit the faults and glitches in the programming, there's no other trickery involved. This is nothing that can't be done on the original cartridge/hardware."

He now holds the world record. Pretty amazing.

Movies - Top 10 Reasons Why You Should See "Hot Fuzz"

Another Hot Fuzz article today; this one lists the top 10 reasons to see the movie. Now I'm seriously debating driving 2 hours to see this movie.


"If you are like me, then you don’t need many reasons to go see Hot Fuzz when it opens here in the states this weekend. If you are not like me, then I will be happy to provide you with 10 Good Reasons why you should go see Hot Fuzz this weekend. They are as follows:


#10 - Simon Pegg and Nick Frost

2 Men, 1 reason. These guys are comedic dyn-o-mite! Ever since Shaun of the Dead became a cult classic, we have been waiting for these guys to pop up somewhere. And while they have both done other things, nothing has come close to the awesome nature of their performances in Shaun… until now.

#9 - Because Fracture is a HUGE Disappointment
How this film got a 75% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes so far is beyond me. I reviewed it, it stunk. Anthony Hopkins is significantly underused, Ryan Gosling is a bit overused and Director Gregory Hoblit made a film like this before, it was called Primal Fear. That was a good movie, this is not; giving you one less reason to see Fracture and one more to see Hot Fuzz.

#8 - Because they pay homage to Michael Bay and Point Break
Action junkies will love the subtle (and unsubtle) homages to action and fanboy flicks of old. There are copious amounts of Michael Bay references (especially Bad Boys 2) and some neat little references that you have to pay attention for (i.e. a He-Man reference and some old school video game sound effects just to keep you on your toes).

#7 - Because it is the Best Reviewed film of the Week
Of all the releases this week, the Tomato-meter score on Rotten Tomatoes shows Hot Fuzz at 88% Fresh, soundly defeating even Blades of Glory. How can you go wrong with those kinds of odds?

#6 - Because you are secretly a fan of Japanese Peace Lillies
This is another one of those classic Edgar Wright subtleties that will have you laughing at the movie hours after seeing it. Go see the movie, then you will understand the water lily joke.

#5 - Because I have not yet met someone who didn’t like Shaun of the Dead
Try this experiment — call everyone in your cell phone’s directory, ask them if they’ve seen Shaun of the Dead, then ask if they liked it. Chances are you will find that everyone who saw it at least liked it. That just goes to show that Director Edgar Wright can make a film that appeals to the masses…

#4 - Because you didn’t see Grindhouse
I know that America is slowly losing its taste for good movies, but come on people!? Grindhouse has already become the biggest cinematic tragedy of 2007 and it is only April. The online community really pushed hard for Grindhouse and it failed. We get it, though; it was 3 hours long and it was a niche film. Fuzz doesn’t have those problems. Don’t make us look like assholes twice in a row (well, 3 times if you count Snakes on a Plane).

#3 - So that Hot Fuzz doesn’t end up like Children of Men
So many great films die as limited releases. They miss their window of opportunity, fail to find the audience they deserve and are buried by their studio. Children of Men fell victim to this earlier in the year and we can’t let it happen to Hot Fuzz. And as my good friend Alex over at First Showing said, we cannot let Hot Fuzz get screwed like Children of Men.

#2 - Simon Pegg kicking an old lady in the Face is AWESOME!
Must I really explain this one? He kicks an old lady… in the FACE!

#1 - Because all of the best parts of the movie are not in the Trailer
For the first 20 minutes or so of the film you will find yourself saying, “Hey, that was in the trailer. So was that. And that. Isn’t there going to be anything new?” Then little do you know that the film explodes and takes on a new direction, leaving you laughing so hard that you may pee yourself. Just remember to bring a diaper…

If those reasons aren’t enough, then you may want to seek professional help… "

Movies - Hot Fuzz Getting Screwed Like Children of Men?

It looks like Hot Fuzz isn't getting the amount of screens it deserves, just like Children of Men. I was really looking forward to seeing it this weekend, looks like I'll be waiting. Do yourselves a favor, and go see this goddamn movie if you're lucky enough to have it at a theater near you this weekend! If I were to recommend seeing anything this weekend in theaters, this would be the movie.

"Tomorrow one of this year's greatest original comedic creations, Hot Fuzz, debuts in theaters across this nation. It's the next film from the same team that created Shaun of the Dead. But there's a problem. It's not getting 3000 screens, it's hardly getting a wide release at all, in fact only 825 screens. Sound a bit like some other movies you know? Children of Men or Grindhouse even. A movie that has incredible buzz and that should be the big hit and #1 movie this coming weekend is going to be lost into oblivion not because no one wanted to see it, but because its released is getting screwed over.

The biggest claim is that it just doesn't have the draw or attention, despite being a follow up to Shaun of the Dead. They're pretty much completely wrong on that assumption. Even look at the impromptu poll on Box Office Mojo that lists Hot Fuzz with the highest percentage in terms of movies people want to see. Out of 1000+ voters, Hot Fuzz has 35.8%, the highest over Disturbia next at 12.8%, for top choice of movie to see this coming weekend. Given this poll doesn't represent everyone, I know that this movie would easily slide into #1 if given the chance plus the right exposure and right marketing. Why are they letting it slide?

The demand for this movie is very high, or I could even say curiosity for it, yet they're not letting it build, in the same way they did with Shaun of the Dead where it only really blew up into a mainstream success once it hit DVD. Why are studios so insistent that films will fail in theaters?! Can't they give them a chance! Yes, things like Focus Features’ Catch a Fire and Firehouse Dog and The Reaping are bound to fail, but Hot Fuzz is bound to surpass all expectations. Look what it already did in Europe - it's one the biggest grossing film in UK history! I think it was #1 in the UK for 3 or 4 weeks in a row!

The best thing we can do is encourage everyone who's interested to go to whatever theater that's playing it, find it, and watch it! No matter how far you have to drive, it will be worth it. Even if you're the slightest Shaun of the Dead fan, this film is an experience on its own that you will definitely no regret seeing in theaters with a crowd as excited as you. We can only hope Focus Features realizes their mistake and realizes how much more they could've made. Maybe in the future they need to be at another studio that knows how to better handle their films? Maybe…

If there are any of you out there who really want to support this film and make sure it's not lost in the mix, then spread the word as far and as wide as you can!! Show them they've made a big mistake and that Hot Fuzz is one of the best films of the year and should be seen by all in theaters!!"

Video Games - Rumor: Is Rockstar Fooling Us?

Someone claims they've gotten very exclusive details for Grand Theft Auto IV; details Rockstar doesn't want the public to know about yet. Is what GameInformer told us just a scapegoat for Rockstar's true plans for GTA IV?

***SPOILERS BELOW***



The main character is NOT Nikko Bellic, and there ARE aircraft in the game!

Nikko Bellic is being used as a Mcguffin device to keep the real Main Character out of the spotlight, The real main character is Roman Petronov, Nikkos cousin who invites him to live in Liberty after Nikko has a HUGE falling out with a paramilitary/Mafioso hybrid wing back in ESTONIA.

Back to 2007, Roman invites Nikko to the US with lies of his fancy living, just because he needed Nikkos help in dealing with shady characters trying to move into his little slice of heaven, which is a Taxi-Firm Roman works at on a co-operator term.

You WILL play the prologue missions as Nikko, to give you a hint of the new controllers, sadly, I dont know the schemes yet, but as soon as I do, you do.

Anyhow, about three quarters through the prologue, Nikko goes for his cousins associate " Mosha " to recover some drug money from one of the FOUR gangs in Liberty, a mainly South American gang modeled after the Columbian Cartels from GTA3, and the real life MS-13 gang, named " Carta ( Car Tuh ) Once ( Own-Said minus the D ) literally Card 11.

During this deal, Nikko gets murdered, and Roman ( Who was a great guy naturally, and never harmed a soul in his life ) becomes deeply depressed, because he feels responsible for Nikkos death, who was his only friend, and his guard dog in a brutal new world.

Armed with nothing but grief, and a deep hate for himself, Roman goes off the deep end, leaves his meager but honest job, and decides that in Liberty City, theres only one way out for a criminal AND a working man, and thats through the cemetery, so why die a shnook when you can die a rich man.


Thats it for the story.

Regarding the aicraft, there are THREE helicopters in the game, all respawn, One police cruiser, one for the Liberty Tree News paper which also became WILC, a news CHANNEL, and one thats owned by a person youl be working with for most of the game.

Bikes are OUT, but SIX motorcycle types are in.
C-11 will be a HUGE enemy in the game.
The Russian and Italian Mafias are at war and youl get to do missions for both.
Maibatsu has become a major player in Liberty City, and Monstrositys are the norm in upper-middle ****areas.

And finally, You WILL be mugged/Jacked/Jumped/Begged for money/held-up/car jacked AND possibly ignitiated into THREE different gangs, where you will be able to climb the ranks, through their own set of missions.

Carnahan & Smith pissed at America over Grindhouse

Basically it didn't do so hot in the box office for many many reasons, but mainly because it was released on fucking Easter-family-holiday weekend (people said if 300 was released Easter weekend it wouldn't have done so hot either), despite getting sick reviews. Anyway, "Directors Joe Carnahan and Kevin Smith have spoke out about their disgust at American audiences for not flocking to see something as innovative as Grindhouse." Carnahan said on his blog:

What is wrong with American moviegoers? Is there nothing NEW that they’re willing to embrace? Jesus, it’s the worst kind of erosion. We’re making dumber and dumber films and they’re becoming cash cows. God Bless ‘300′, at least it’s got balls and the director WENT for it. THAT movie is good for the business, it’s good for everybody. But some of these other flicks don’t even TRY because they know in the end, EXACTLY the age range and demographic driving ticket prices these days. Those monstrosities (the names of which I won’t mention) are pure pieces of commerce, marketed to perfection.

I hope ‘Grindhouse’ recovers. It’s an audacious idea that I wish would’ve been given a bigger break. Maybe as they separate the two films, they’ll pry some sunshine out of the situation and the Weinstein’s will save the day. It bums me the f*ck out though when something like that, a really cool idea that looks like a great time at the movies, made by real talent– can’t push past.

It’s just dead wrong kids…and we ALL pay the price when those don’t work.

Kevin Smith chipped in with his two cents…

“What’s Costner’s line in J.F.K. again? ‘God, I’m ashamed to be an American today…’”

“I’d say the problem was America most definitely was at the movie theaters this week - which is why the stuff that grossed higher than Grindhouse… grossed higher than Grindhouse,” Smith wrote. “That’s the third fantastic film of the year which has failed to attract the audience it richly deserved in its opening week. Add Grindhouse to a list that includes Black Snake Moan and Zodiac.”

I saw Black Snake Moan and Zodiac, both fantastic movies, i didn't realize they didn't do that well either. I also didn't know film enthusiasts were so pissed at box office results, great movies rarely see good box office sales, fucking "Are We Done Yet?" beat Grindhouse opening weekend, and no one with a normal IQ can tell me that movie is better than Grindhouse.

GRINDHOUSE

GrindHouse - Movie review:

great quick review on what Grindhouse is all about. If you were hesitant to see this movie, definitely watch this full youtube video to see what to expect and why you should see it in the theaters instead of DVD. Let me just say this...

BEST $8.75 I EVER SPENT!

It was honestly the best movie theater experience i ever had! The whole theater was cheering, clapping, screaming, laughing through the whole thing. There was so many 'omg holy shit amazing' scenes and i can honestly say it's one of the few films i have seen in theaters that i had a smile on my face through the whole thing. It was so fucking genius, exactly like the old Grindhouse films. I strongly recommend seeing it in theaters with a lot of people with a good sense of humor. I have seen it 3 times in theaters so far, with 3 different groups of friends, and i would easily pay to see it again.

Planet Terror was a more 'fun' movie, a lot of non-stop over-the-top action, but Death Proof was the better film. Death Proof stayed much more true to the slasher grindhouse movies that had a lot of dialogue in scenes, some people were turned off by it. As much as the dialogue was a bit boring, it was needed to get you to connect to the characters and realize how real they were before all hell breaks lose and their lives end. I also have to give props to the conversation they have in the dinner, i didn't notice until my third time seeing it, but the camera never cuts that entire time. That must have been extremely difficult to shoot, mainly difficult for the actresses. But the end is the best payoff EVER, well worth sitting through some 'boring' parts. One of the best car chases ever and the final seconds of the film will make you feel happier than anything. Remember that there is no CGI in Death Proof and all the stunts are real. Fucking loved it.

"Grindhouse Voted one of the Best Films of All Time"

Not only is Grindhouse one of the best reviewed wide releases of the year (the film has fallen to a more than respectable 81% on Rotten Tomatoes) but the IMDb users have voted the movie into the top 250 movies of all time. All 6,698 people who paid to see the exploitation double feature voted, giving the movie a weighed average of an 8.2. The rating places the film at #108 of all time. If the amount of votes double, the film could place higher than #79 on the list. Just another reason why you should get your butt into the theater and purchase a ticket.

http://www.slashfilm.com/2007/04/10/grindhouse-voted-on-of-the-best-films-of-all-time/

"Grindhouse is Best Reviewed Wide Release of 2007, So Far"

Movie critics love Grindhouse, the new double feature from Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez. At the time of this posting, the sum total of 84 reviews have given the film an 84% rating on the popular film site Rotten Tomatoes (85% from the cream of the crop). This makes Grindhouse the best reviewed American wide release this year so far.

XBL Kidnapper: "If I Weren't In Jail, I'd Be Playing Final Fantasy"

http://kotaku.com/gaming/xbox-live/xbl-kidnapper-if-i-werent-in-jail-id-be-playing-final-fantasy-230941.php

Disturbed pizza manager Michael Devlin kidnaps two boys, gets caught, put on suicide watch and all he wants to do is play Final Fantasy XI. If he hadn't gotten captured, one shudders to think what he'd be doing. But Devlin says:

"I'd be in front of my computer screen playing Final Fantasy XI. I like Final Fantasy because it has a network that can connect to people all over the world, from Europe to Japan. "

A ringing endorsement of networked gaming! Ugh. Under the name "DevilDevlin," he used a picture of one of the kidnapped boys for his GamerTagPic. On January 11th, he got in a round of Final Fantasy XI before the children were rescued. But with no FF in the slammer, Devlin's doing things like reading another inmate's copy of Death Wish, the novel which the Charles Bronson films are based on. How's that for prison rehabilitation.

Children of Men - Making Of

The making of the movie "Children of Men". Mainly focuses on the long takes and visual style of the film.

There are some amazing long takes in 'Children of Men', including a long single take that takes place INSIDE a car with five people in it. This shows how they did it, and some of the other challenging shots in the film.

incredible 'behind the scenes' feature on how they did some of the long-ass single-shot scenes in this movie, truly amazing and will really help you appreciate how landmark this movie is. Obviously, you probably don't want to watch it if you have not seen the movie yet =p.

Why "Children of Men" is the Best Picture of the Year

posted this a while ago, but the movie was so good I'm gonna repost it on my new blog, it's on DVD now, go fucking pick it up!

http://www.digg.com/movies/Why_Children_of_Men_is_the_Best_Picture_of_the_Year

VIDEO CONTAINS SPOILERS! Alfonso Cuarón's amazing dystopian vision "Children of Men" is apparently being completely ignored by Universal and dumped quietly at the box office despite glowing praise from critics. I made this short to hopefully help generate more buzz behind this overlooked masterpiece.

"Children of Men" is one of the most poignant and creative films of the past decade, yet Universal, the Film's distributor, has left the film with a non-existent advertising campaign and little press. This amazing film is being ignored by a majority of film goers, and even the film industry. Do not let a movie like this go unrecognized!

Saw this video posted on Digg.com, i guess whoever made it is trying to get more people to see it. However, it contains a lot of scenes from the movie, some of which were not in the trailer (cause the movie was leaked on the internet in like November, i downloaded it but refused to watch it until i could see it in the theaters =p) So it might be best to just watch the trailer and read reviews. i posted at the bottom links. I saw this in theaters twice, and I agree with the critic reviews 100%, this movie was fucking amazing, one of, if not the best movie i saw end of 2006/beginning of 2007 year. I strongly recommend it.

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/children_of_men/
http://imdb.com/title/tt0206634/
http://www.metacritic.com/film/titles/childrenofmen
http://www.apple.com/trailers/universal/childrenofmen/

many reviews are quite lengthy, but i found a short one i felt sums up this movie pretty well:

Some things need no words. In short, “Children of Men” is brilliant.

The film, a devastating look into the near-future collapse and extinction of the human race, is seared onto the screen with unflinching bravura by director Alfonso Cuaron. Endless adjectives could feebly attempt to describe his techniques in this film, and fail utterly; suffice it to say that a better directing job has not been seen in theaters in years, if not decades. Two sequences in particular will be required study by film students from now on. Absolutely stunning.

Briefly, the film presents a glimpse into a future in which women are infertile, and the human race nears extinction. Society collapses. Then, a girl named Kee is found pregnant, and it becomes the duty of an office worker named Theodore (Clive Owen) to ensure her safe passage through the war-torn land and into the hands of doctors who can save her child, and humanity.

The performances are completely real. Owen shines as a man numbed by the world around him. Julianne Moore, as Theodore’s ex-wife, has a small but grounded turn. And Michael Caine nearly steals the film in the role of Thoedore’s best friend, a pot-smoking philosopher.

The world Cuaron creates is totally submersive; you are surrounded on all sides by decay, grime, hatred, and shocking violence. The special effects integrate perfectly into the hand-held shots, and some of the long, long takes in this film are so incredible in both their immediacy and technical complexity that I can scarcely believe that he pulled it off. As simply a technical exercise, “Children of Men” is a landmark achievement.

Without a doubt, “Children of Men” is the best film I have seen in several years. A remarkable, towering cinematic experience

What could cause one of the greatest civilizations in history to disappear?

LMFAO. I actually saw this movie, and despite Mel Gibson being fucking insane (there was a couple 'wtf' scenes in the movie, one in particular near the end) it was still a really really good movie, i liked it a lot. It's out on DVD soon, go rent it!

Hilarious PS3 line story

OMFG LOL. This guy put a PS3 up on Ebay, and added a little story about how he got it, fucking hilarious.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...9305&rd=1&rd=1

"Please read the amazing story of how i got this ps3

i went out wednesday afternoon to the local walmart to start camping out. when i got there, there were already 12 people ther so i got in line being number 13. i talked around and found out the first 6 people there had been there since monday, total hardcore nerds all planning to keep them. bragging about how only they should get the system since theyve been there the longest. how they are so dedicated and how if you dont want to do the time, you shouldnt get a system. generally being complete assholes. good for them. we had a hours to pass so we became friends and played some cards and whatnot. the 6 guys in front kept to themselves and didnt associate with the rest of us. we were cool with each other leaving the line to get food, bathroom, smoke, etc since we all knew each other and as long as they were back in 30 minutes. i was about to leave to go buy some KFC for a good number of us and when i stepped out of line, one of the nerds shouted that if i left, i would lose my spot. the other guys told him that they were vouching for me and that i was just getting food but those 6 assholes didnt care. they said i leave, i lose my spot and that was the rules and they would call the manager (they had his number) to come out and enforce it. i said whatever and stayed in line.

a few hours later, the manager came out and told everyone that there were only going to be SEVEN available. they have them in their store and theyre not getting anymore. he told the people after # 7 they should leave if they wanted to not waste their time. me being number 13 should have left but i didnt, i wanted to stick around for a little bit more. everyone else left except me and the 7 other people that were getting it for sure. so the day goes on and i try to make friends with the nerds. i play mario kart on the ds with them and talk to them about the games they were getting. about an hour or 2 later, i tell im gonnna head home since im 8 in line and theres only 7 ps3s. one of them made some stupid joke about if i leave the line then i aint getting back in!! har har. so as im about to leave, i tell them im going to the vons next door and if any of them wanted any food or coffee and id bring it back to them. one of them said yea and all the rest like sheep followed and said yes too. they were gonna give me money but i told them it was on me since theyve been out here since monday. the 7th guy in line wanted some food and coffee and i told him id buy some for him also.

so i go to vons and buy 8 coffees, some food, and some x-lax laxatives. i bring it to my car and put some laxatives in 6 of the coffees and seperate them from mine and #7s. i pull back to walmart and bring all the drinks and food upfront. i give #7 his stuff and then the coffees with laxatives to the 6 nerds annd wish them good luck and go back to my car. i park it around the corner so i can still see them.

about 30 minutes later, #2 and 3 in line get up and it seemed like they were yelling to the other nerds. they both ran into walmart. seconds later (i guess all nerds have the same biology) #5 gets up and runs across the parking lot and into the trees and bushes somewhere. #1 is scrounging for this portapotty type thing he'd brought with him but he is squirting everywhere and all over his pants and their sleeping bags. he runs into walmart. at this time, i start my car and drive back to the walmart to claim my spot in line. when i get there #4 and 6 are gone but i dont know where. #7 is laughing his ass off so hard and i just smile at him. i call up 5 of the other people that i had made friends with that were in line with me ( i had their phone numbers cause i was gonne buy to food for everyone) and told them to get back to the walmart ASAP and get in line. Meanwhile, me and #7 threw all their shit into the parking lot and i claimed my spot as #1, him as #2. 4 and the people i had called arrived and got in line just as 1 of the nerds came running back and got #7. he started yelling saying they need their spots back. we all told them to fuck off, out of spot, out of line. it was all of us against him so he didnt say shit. the nerds came back and tried to start some shit but we just laughed, we told them it was their rule and to go fuck themselves and clean the shit off their pants. the called security and security came. security man was like WTF is that fuckin smell and looked at the nerds with shit all of them and kicked them off the grounds screaming LMAO. so that is how i got my ps3."
