The Sound Strike? More Like A Fuck You Fans!

2010-06-28T22:33:00.000-07:00

This has got to be the most idiotic crap I have ever heard of. So for those that may not know, I live here in sunny hot ass Phoenix AZ. Yep. Arizona. Where we just passed the law to help get rid of all the ILLEGAL immigrants living here. Police now have the right to ask to see papers from anyone who may seem illegal as proof of their citizenship in AZ.

Well for some reason people think this is gonna be like what the Nazis were doing with asking to see papers and throwing huge fits. Its stupid. Theyre sending people HOME. Not to concentration camps. So shut up.

Anyways, now this SOUND STRIKE crap is happening. What is it? Is it just a plan by musicians to get their names in the news? Noooooooo not at all. It is a list of bands, musicians and other artists who will be boycotting and refusing the play shows in Arizona.

Yes, that makes TOTAL sense.

Bands like Tenacious D, Nine Inch Nails, Kanye West, Rage Against The Machine, and many more.... are planning to boycott Arizona. Which is kinda funny since Rage hasnt played a show in Arizona in YEARS, same with Tenacious D. But here is why this makes zero sense.

On the website for The Sound Strike, it states the following....

It is Governor Jan brewer and the Arizona state legislature that has created the climate under which the normal commercial interaction between fans and artists can be converted into the means to apply racist legislation like SB 1070. For artists of The Sound Strike, the boycott is the most effective form of non-compliance with a law that threatens the civil and human rights of everyday people living within the state, including the fans of our music, whom we cherish and respect.

Yes. It is Gov. Jan Brewer... and the State Legislature...........NOT THE FANS. By boycotting Arizona. They are also boycotting their fans. What about the fans who put these bands in this type of position in the first place? Bands boycotting Arizona and refusing to play shows in the state baffles my mind, because they are not just punishing the state, but they are also punishing their fans. The fans who have no control over this law. The fans who made these bands who they are today. Jan Brewer isn't going to go to a Rage Against The Machine concert. The fans who OPPOSE this law would. If these bands care SO MUCH about this law and really wanna boycott it, why not have a huge music festival in Arizona for FREE protesting this law? People who protest the law, can go see their favorite bands who also protest this law, for free, on a huge stage for the world to see.

So. Since these bands have decided that since our government made this law, they will not come out and play shows, I say we show our support to these bands anyways. Click here to learn how you can show your support to these bands who have decided to punish their fans over a governments choice.

Goldeneye E3 Trailer

2010-06-16T21:41:00.000-07:00

Another big surprise from E3 was Nintendo unveiling that Goldeneye is coming exclusively to the Wii. For anyone that remembers, about 13 years ago, Goldeneye was quite possibly the best/most fun game on the Nintendo 64. Even though I wasn't a huge follower of 007, when I got a chance to see this game, the fun factor is what made this game legendary. A good story mode, one of the first games to feature a multi player mode, and even straight fun modes like paintball...all with classic James Bond characters. This is the game that started the multi player revolution, which we see in games like Call of Duty now.

When the news was announced that this game was coming to Wii, nintendo fans were thrilled. Now that we have our first look, fans are split. Nintendo has actually re-done the game apparently and improved the graphics etc. Many were hoping this would be the exact classic version of the game. To me the game looks appealing, and improvements on graphics would be fine....but the real question will be the game play. If they mess up the controls and that area isn't done right, fans of the original Goldeneye may not be happy. Daniel Craig will now play Bond as opposed to Pierce Brosnan, but you can't go wrong as long as Jaws and Oddjob are included. And don't forget of course this game will now be online, so the thought alone of playing such a classic online makes me hope we have another classic Goldeneye on the way.

DC Universe Online E3 Trailer

2010-06-14T16:32:00.000-07:00

I almost forgot that E3 was kicking off today, but luckily I was reminded just before the festivities began. Usually I casually watch the event on G4, as there is usually a handful of games I have some interest in, while others go crazy for new Halo games and other games in that genre. This year was no different on day 1 at least....they showed mostly Xbox 360 stuff, but a few games that will be out for all systems. Online you can find even more info., including stuff that didn't air on G4 (or at least I didn't see,) which includes this trailer for DC Universe Online. Ever since I read about this game, probably 2 years ago, the concept sounded cool. An open world game filled with all the DC characters including Superman, Batman, the Flash, Joker, etc. The trailer looks cool in that it shows you can create your own character, then choose if you will join the superheroes in battling villains, or join the villains and add to the crime and chaos. No real details about how this will all work, or if you can play as the legendary characters somewhere in the game, but so far this looks like it could be a cool game.

Screw the New Karate Kid, We Want Wax On, Fuck Off!

2010-06-09T23:50:00.000-07:00

So the joke of a movie that dares call itself "The Karate Kid" is here, and just like the very first day I heard about this, it looks pretty much like shit. The second it was announced the Jaden Smith would be the Ralph Macchio role, I knew this was bad news. Now we find out that basically this is only loosely based on the same story, a kid getting his ass kicked and needing help learning to fight...so he is taught kung fu, that's right, NOT karate, but KUNG FU. So why this movie isn't titled "The Kung Fu Kid" is beyond me, it makes no sense other than the fact that by calling it "The Karate Kid' they got to generate a buzz. The movie is based in China, and barely resembles the classic.

WHICH brings us to this next piece of work. Thanks to the great work of FunnyOrDie.com, we have something to enjoy with a real Karate Kid feel to it, Daniel Larusso and all! I don't know about you, but I would MUCH rather see a grown up Daniel Larusso, finally realizing that he's lead his entire life as a goody goody, and being damn tired of it. R rated Larusso goes out trying to pick up hookers, drink his ass off, and any other dastardly deed outside of joining Cobra Kai . Of course with Mr. Miyagi dead and gone, Daniel going off the deep end would provide some very interesting story possibilities. This FunnyOrDie parody beats the sad attempt at a Karate Kid remake in our book, and probably any true fan of the REAL Karate Kid:

Wax On, F*ck Off with Ralph Macchio from Ralph Macchio

RandomVillain is making a movie. Heres how you can help!

2010-06-09T18:32:00.000-07:00

Thats right. Your ol pal Random Villain is making a movie. Not really gonna go into details about it since I can just provide links to the sites for that, but figured I would share with the world how everyone can get involved and in a way, become a producer.

There is a pretty awesome site called indiegogo.com where people with projects that need funding can go and set up a page and ask for donations. Which is what I did. You can donate however much you want, a dollar, two dollars, three, three, one hundred. All up to you. What do you get out of it? Details are right HERE!

Lindsay Lohan - The Death Watch Returns

2010-06-09T17:05:00.000-07:00

You read it right, we're bringing a little Lohan back to Jerkland! This post is going up strictly because I cannot go to any celebrity news sites without Lindsay face all over my screen. A few years ago some writers from this site called for a Lindsay Lohan death watch. Well so far she has survived, but barely. First her movie career went to hell, then we got Lindsay Lohan posing nude in New York Magazine, which tells us that she knows she can still get attention no matter how bad she gets simply by getting naked, because believe it or not there are tons of people who still thinks she is mega hot.......never saw it but OK. Lindsay hasn't slowed down, with pics of her drunk or high or whatever surfacing regularly on the net. So now we're at the point where she's close to going to jail, and having to wear bracelets that are somehow supposed to stop her from drinking and/or doing drugs (but only makes her pay 10 grand or so for having a drink,) the Lindsay Lohan death watch is back on. Place your bets, make your predictions. Will Lohan ever turn it around and survive? Or will she finally surprise no one by kicking the bucket soon. We've had many shocking celebrity deaths in the past year, but if the death watch is correct, Lindsay Lohan will be a shock to no one. At least it would free up some web space for some news people care about......hey we're Jerks, and we tell it like it is.

The iPhone 4

2010-06-07T12:05:00.000-07:00

I love my iPhone 3GS. It is the best thing on the planet and refused to ever get a new phone ever, of course until the new iPhone comes out.

Anyways, here are all the new goodies headed our way which includes iMovie and Netflix Instant Viewing.

Front facing camera
Dual mics for noise cancelation
MicroSIM (to save space)
5 megapixel, 1.75 micron camera + LED flash
720p video at 30fps
Stainless steel rings and gaps — are the antennae (nice!)
Thinest smartphone ever
Optical quality, scratch-resistant glass
Retina display – 960×640 at 3.5″ for 326dpi (!!). 800:1 contrast ratio. IPS for wide-angle viewing.
Powered by A4 chipset
Bigger battery: 7 hrs 3G talk, 6 hrs 3G browsing, 10 hrs Wi-Fi browsing, 10 hrs video, 40 hrs music, 300 hrs standby
Still 32GB storage
802.11n Wi-Fi (yes!)
Gyroscope

Sounds good to me, sadly I got into the iPhone game late and can't get the early upgrade goodies and must pay full price if I want it NOW. The display is awesome, HD video is great and the battery life is my favorite thing.

$199 for the 16gb and $299 for the 32gb if you have an upgrade. If not, lookin to be around 500 bucks for the 32gb.

But if I STILL can't make custom SMS tones I will lose my mind. Really tired of the standard annoying ones they have.

Women hotter than Megan Fox. Yes, they exist.

2010-06-03T11:41:00.000-07:00

Look, Megan Fox is hot, but I don't think she is as hot as most people seem to think. Hell, the girl that replaced her in Transformers 3 is hotter. So I figured, I would just throw up some images of women in the world who I believe to be hotter than Megan Fox. Elisha Dushku, Elisha Cuthert, Katy Perry, Kristen Bell, Charisma Carpenter for example. Check them out, whine and debate below, or do it on our message boards.

Megan Fox Bikini Pics, Hot or Not?

2010-06-02T12:47:00.000-07:00

Since Megan Fox is no longer going to be involved in Transformers 3, it looks like she's turned to getting publicity simply by going to the beach in a bikini every day, and it's working. For the past 3 or 4 days Fox has hit the beach with David Silver aka Brian Austin Green (how he keeps her we don't know) in Hawaii and put on a show for the paparazzi. Of course Megan Fox and Bikini equal automatic attention, but some reactions haven't been so great. Of course many are spending quality time with these pics and think Fox is the hottest woman on the planet...while others are saying she's now too skinny, looks anorexic, and/or needs a sandwich. Others say Fox is mega hot, but lacks 1 thing, which is an ass. Megan is hot and has a great body, but if your a fan of a nice ass you may be out of luck. Yet another opinion is that Fox was hot before the tattoos, but now her ink has made her less attractive.

So what are your thoughts? Do the boobs and tight abs make up for the lack of ass? Is the once hottest girl ever now too skinny and lost her title? Study and discuss the variety of subjects below:

God Bless America

2010-05-28T09:02:00.000-07:00

Ya know, I'm not too patriotic, yes I know I am lucky to live in America, where we are all, well kinda free I guess. But sometimes I take a look at the country I live in and wish I could click my heels and be living somewhere else. This video is one of those moments. This video pretty much defines America. When people in Europe and other countries look up America in the dictionary, it probably plays this video.

For one thing, who really cares who wins Ameican Idol? From what I have seen, which isn't too much, the losers of that show go on to do more than the winners have. Fantasia? Taylor, uh whatever his last name is, that grey haired dude. Ugh.

I wanna move. I doubt juggalos exist in London.

ESPN 3D Arrives On DirecTV

2010-05-26T02:21:00.000-07:00

The day, or well, night as arrived I guess. Sitting here watching some late night TV, the upload page appears on my TV for a software update on my DirecTV. After it finishes up, I hit the guide to see what exactly has been done to my precious DirecTV. Well, 3D is what happened. ESPN 3D has been added to the guide.

For those of you who love soccer, and have a 3D ready TV. You are gonna be having some good times in June as the World Cup will be presented in 3D on ESPN 3D. I sadly do not have a 3D TV. So I will be missing out on this goodness. Either way, this is a pretty huge step in 3D in homes.

Most people are getting annoyed with 3D this and 3D that. But I on the other hand welcome it. It's a great technology that has been re-invented over the years and when done right, looks pretty stunning. Of course having EVERY big movie come out in 3D is a bit much, but they're not forcing you to see it in 3D. You have the choice of seeing it in normal format, so shut up already. Either way......Tron Legacy in 3D is going to be insane.

NBA West Finals. Phoenix Suns Shocking The World?

2010-05-26T00:05:00.001-07:00

Last season, the Phoenix Suns missed the NBA Playoffs. After going to the West finals 2 years straight, then making it to just the Semis, to losing in the first round, then to just not making them at all. It appeared the Suns were done for.

Going into this season, the "experts" all had their picks for the playoff teams. The Suns were picked to miss the playoffs, and finish the season in about the 9th or 10th spot in the West. Well, the season came, and it went. And here we are, well over a month after the regular season has ended, and the Suns are still playing. The team picked to finish in 10th place and miss the playoffs, are now tied at two games a piece with the defending champions, Los Angeles Lakers.

Before the Lakers though, those same experts, also picked the Suns to lose to the Spurs in 6 games in the West semis. And what happened? The Suns not only eliminated long time foe Spurs, but swept the Spurs, 4 games, to zero, none, nada.

Where are the experts now?

Same spot, saying the Suns have no chance, no hope. And will still end up losing the series. Now don't get me wrong, if the Suns lose this series against the Lakers, it will not come as a surprise. They are the defending champs, but why are the Suns getting no credit at all? The Suns are not winning these games by luck, or by squeaking out wins. They are closing games. Shutting teams down. And if you are thinking Steve Nash, Amare Stoudemire, the Suns two All Stars, are handling business, you might be surprised. Sure they are doing what they do best, but what I saw tonight was simply, amazing.

The Lakers had all their stars in, Kobe Bryant, Lamar Odom, Andrew Bynum, Pau Gasol, Ron Artest. And The Suns. Didn't have Steve Nash, Amare, Richardson, Lopez, or even Grant Hill in. The Suns had their bench players in. And it was their bench players, that in the 2nd quarter, and the 4th quarter, completely dominated and shut down the Lakers. So much so that when Nash and Amare came to check into the game, Suns coach Alvin Gentry sat them back down and let the bench players keep going.

The team that no one thought could do it, is doing it. Decisively. And still, the experts are against the Suns. Who picks these experts anyways??

Game 5 is Thursday, in Los Angeles. The biggest game of the year. The Suns lose, they go down 3-2, and come back to Phoenix for Game 6. But, if the Suns can win, if they can pull off the upset in LA, and take the 3-2 lead. Then the Suns will have a chance to eliminate the Lakers in Phoenix.

One thing that I have learned from watching the Suns my entire life, is that anything is possible.

I believe.

Red Dead Redemption Thoughts

2010-05-22T03:33:00.000-07:00

I loved, loved, loved the first game, Red Dead Revolver. I was a huge GTA fan at the time, and have been born and raised on westerns, so seeing both come together was awesome. It has been a long wait for this sequel, is the wait worth it?

In some ways, yes, and in some ways no. Gameplay wise the game is amazing. There is so much to do in the open world it is pretty amazing how much got packed into this game. The controls are a little tricky but nothing too hard to get the hang of. It has been a long long time since I played a third person shooter game. Spending the past few years knee deep in Call Of Duty and Resistance. So, the gameplay is great, but what is not so great?

Something pretty minor I must say, which is the story/characters. The character you play as, is seemingly being forced back into the life he has tried to leave, or else great harm will come to his wife and son. But, even with those two huge problems, he sure is one happy go lucky guy. Seems to constantly be happy and willing to lead the good life. It just seems weird that he has to kill a man or else his family is harmed, so he goes out to help some lady round up some cattle? I dunno, it seems to lose focus too much. And the character is a bit annoying after awhile.

But, the gameplay outshines that, I didn't get into the online play too much but I did some and it has potential to be pretty fun. But I don't think it'll have too much lasting power. I can easily see the online play getting a little old, and annoying when you might be out trying to do a challenge and some idiot won't stop trying to kill you in the process.

All in all though, after being extremely let down by GTA IV, this is a huge step up from it. I would say it is worth a buy, mainly because from what I can see there is hours upon hours of gameplay to be had in the game with all the side missions and strange little things that pop up.

It Is Time To Rise Up Against Movie Theater Texting

2010-05-10T21:30:00.000-07:00

I am sick of this crap. People in this world need to put down the damn phone every one in awhile. Why would you pay 20+ dollars, to go sit in a movie theater and text through it? Not only is it wasting your own money when you can be doing that at home, but you are also annoying the living crap out of everyone sitting behind you!

But not anymore

Tonight, I changed the game forever, and hopefully, you will all follow suit and join me and end this annoyance once and for all.

Tonight, I went to see Iron Man 2, I won't be posting a review of it, because its Iron Man 2, you know what you get with it, so there. During the movie in front of me just to my right, was some idiot Tapout shirt wearin douche who had a Blackberry Storm. How do I know exactly what type of phone this was? Because he had the phone out during 75% of the movie, texting!

Now, you my wonder, 75%? He didn't text through the ENTIRE movie? No, he didn't. Why? Because I finally found a way to put a stop to it, and I am going to tell you all how to do this, in hopes that all of you who are equally annoyed with it as I am, do the same.

I got a little fed up with this bright white light shining every couple minutes, and I thought, what in the hell is so damn important that this idiot just HAS to keep texting away? Step out into the hall and finish the conversation! Well, ya know what?

I'm just gonna read it.

So, from then on, any time this idiot would whip out his phone, I would lean forward slightly, and read his texts, and his responses. His girlfriend was pissed at him, because he went with his friend to see Iron Man 2, and he didn't take her with. They were in a deep argument, this was like the time she wanted to go see another movie real bad, and he didn't take her and instead went with some other girl.

Once I read that text, I did the following....

Leaned in even closer....

And whispered....

"That was a dick move dude."

He looked over at me and said "What?!"

"Why would you not take your girl to see the movie?"

He got really pissed off, but shoved his phone in his pocket and never again, brought it out.

So people, do this, whenever some idiot is texting nonstop, READ IT. READ THOSE TEXTS! Hopefully this spreads, so the idiots texting during movies will stop, because they will be afraid of the OTHER people in the theater, reading their private conversations.

RISE UP! STOP THIS! THE POWER, IS YOURS!

Talking Characters Coming Soon to Disneyland?!

2010-05-06T22:58:00.000-07:00

So this is the craziest thing to see for anyone that's been to a Disney theme park, or just about any theme park for that matter. You know how it works, you see characters, they take pics, maybe sign autographs....and the occasional nod and point. Well now, it looks like everything is about to change. The traditional in park characters that have pretty much worked the same way for 50 years, could be talking and interacting with guests. And this just isn't an idea on paper, this is technology that is being tested right now, and it is quite amazing. In the video below, you can see Mickey Mouse talking and interacting with guests, mouth moving and all. I don't know how Disney does it, but this is the next evolution in Disney park entertainment. I dont know how close they are to perfecting this and using it regularly in the park, but by the looks of things, they have this technology down, and this generations kids are in for a much more advanced Disney experience. When this is officially implemented in the Disney parks, it will no doubt cause an even bigger surge in people buying Disneyland tickets and planning more Disney vacations to experience the parks in a whole new and advanced way. See the video below and be amazed, especially if you have ever been to a Disney park in the past.

Link In Super Mario? Super Mario Crossover!?

2010-04-28T13:38:00.001-07:00

There have been many times I have been playing a video game and would be getting my ass kicked and think to myself, "If only I had Mario in this damn game I would be kicking their ass!" Well, that day has come, sort of.

A version of Super Mario Bros has appeared online where you can not only play as Mario, but use Mega Man, Link, Samus and more!

I haven't spent too much time playing, so I don't know how far into the game you can go, but even if you can only just play the first level, that is awesome enough.

Click here for the game.

G.I. Joe: The Movie On It's Way to Blu Ray

2010-04-21T16:21:00.000-07:00

Not long ago while trading in some old DVD's with the thought that I would upgrade them to the blu ray version, I came across one of my all time favorites, G.I. Joe the Movie. The G.I. Joe movie was definitely not in the trade in pile, because obviously it was one of the movies that would never get a blu ray release. And now, I can gladly say I was wrong. For anyone confused, I'm not talking about the latest G.I. Joe movie, the Rise of Cobra, I am talking about the epic G.I. Joe animated movie from 1987 that was the pinnacle of the legendary G.I. Joe run in the 80's. The movie featured just about every G.I. Joe character we grew up on in the cartoons, even Sgt. Slaughter, in the biggest war with Cobra of all time. The story was crazy for any kid who followed the Joes throughout the years. One of the most odd aspects was Cobra Commander being turned into a snake, then helping the G.I. Joes defeat the Serpentor ran Cobra. This was the pretty much the end of the original G.I. Joe run, as DIC took over the franchise after this, and had to re-build some things, including getting Cobra Commander back to somewhat human form, and on the right side, fighting the Joes. Now the DVD that originally came out was a special edition, and had some cool extras including the famous G.I. Joe public service announcements that were featured at the end of every cartoon, yeah the ones that had a G.I. Joe walking in on some kid digging in the medicine for some pills to try, then telling them how bad that was. No word on what the Blu Ray will feature extra wise, but I'm hoping it's not an exact rehash of what has already come out, and hopefully they will pack this Blu Ray and give us the ultimate G.I. Joe: the Movie experience. Here is the intro to the movie, which set the epic tone right from the start:

Star Wars Blu Rays Announced! Animated Episode VII?!

2010-04-18T23:43:00.001-07:00

I used to own all 6 movies on Blu Ray. And then, some bastard stole them from me. I never went out and rebought them, because I knew someday, somewhere, they would come to Blu Ray. And that day is near.

Lucasfilm Director of Fan Relations Steve Sansweet revealed that they have been at work for the past couple years putting together the 6 movies for a Blu Ray release. While it won't be an ULTIMATE box set, he did say that they will be jam packed with features.

Sadly though, no release date was announced, but he said the set shouldn't be too far in the distant future. I'm guessing they will be out in time for Christmas.

In other Star Wars news.... it was also revealed that the new animated series, will center around the events AFTER Return Of The Jedi!

Marvel Vs Capcom 3?!

2010-04-17T15:21:00.000-07:00

War Machine, Gambit, Cable. That's my line up. Those are my guys I use to dominate any and all in Marvel Vs Capcom 2. Word spread today that MVC 3 will be headed to PS3 and XBox later this year.

This time around it is said they will be using the graphics for Street Fighter IV and mixing it with what we saw in MVC 2 all while blowing us away in full 1080p resolution.

As for the characters in the game, only the usual suspects are confirmed right now such as Wolverine, Spiderman, and the rest of the main people, but, it was said that we will be blown away by the full list of how many characters will be appearing this time.

COME ON CAPCOM! GIVE US HAGGAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brass Knuckles Are For Sissys, Ill Take Blast Knuckles!

2010-04-16T22:28:00.001-07:00

So yesterday my nephew and I made a stop at the Spy store, yes, for real, there are such things as Spy stores. And yes, they do sell a cane that has a sword in it. Along with other neat gadgets and goodies. Normal stuff ya know? If you saw Kick Ass and saw the nanny cam teddy bear, those are for real, along with bird house cams, clock cams, and more. But the one thing that really caught my eye at the store, was something I had never seen or even heard of before.

We have all seen brass knuckles and know what they do. But here we found, Blast Knuckles. What are they you ask? Imagine being able to punch someone and bust them up pretty bad like you would typical brass knuckles, but ass on the fact that on the end of these knuckles, is also a taser. You can punch someone in the gut and at the same time blast them with 950,000 volts of electricity.

Yes, I know what you are thinking, you almost have the powers of some Street Fighter characters now with the help of this little gadget. SHORRRRRRRRRYUKEN!

PSN Thursday To Be PSN Tuesday?!

2010-04-16T09:36:00.001-07:00

This pleases me, forever now I have had to deal with the X Box 360 getting content a day earlier than the PlayStation. Not anymore! Starting this May the PlayStation Store will start updating on Tuesday in the US and on Wednesday in the UK. Now the 360 fans have to wait that extra day for content, demos, and other goodies. Will this be the start of some kinda time release date battle between X Box and PS3? Who knows. With Sony bringing content a day early, I hope this also means we get movies in the PSN Video Store the same day as DVD release. As for Microsoft, how long before they move to Mondays? And then Sony to Sundays? And then Microsoft going into the future and bringing things back to the present?

3D PlayStation 3 Games In June.

2010-04-16T09:35:00.000-07:00

Are you rich? Like really rich? If so then you probably went and blew some cash on one of those handy new 3D TVs that I see at Best Buy all the time. 3D is quickly heading into our homes and it looks like Sony is going to be the first gaming console to the party.

The June, coming to the PlayStation Network will be a slew of 3D Games. As of now the only games announced are WipEout HD, MotorStorm Pacific Rift, PAIN and Super Stardust HD, but if you have yet to rush out to get a 3D TV, and you are interested in 3D gaming, then wait just a minute. If you buy the new Bravia 3D TV, you get 4 free 3D games from the PSN. Sounds like a deal to me, if I was in the market for a new TV.

Your First Look At Thor Via Iron Man 2?!

2010-04-15T13:40:00.000-07:00

Watch this little clip below, nice little feature which then goes to a small clip from Iron Man 2, showing Tony Stark walking down the halls of a jail. Notice when he walks past the camera, you see someone in the background getting their mugshot. That my friends, be Thor.

Don't Know The Power of Blu Ray? Get Disney.

2010-04-14T20:15:00.000-07:00

I have been in Blu Ray land for about three years now. Back in the old days of HD DVD vs Blu Ray. I sided with Blu Ray, but I bought an HD DVD player mainly because it was only $99 on a Wal Mart deal. The very first Blu Ray I watched was Speed, and it looked glorious. But some classic movies come out on Blu Ray, and some look great, but some look the same. The Godfather movies look pretty great on Blu Ray, but when my favorite movie of all time, A Clockwork Orange, came out on Blu Ray I was a bit let down by the look of it. Sure it looked a little bit better than the DVD, but nothing mind blowing. And I find this happens often with Blu Rays, it looks a bit better than the DVD, but it doesn't blow me away, so what is out there that does blow me away? Disney.

Disney is the only studio right now that is doing Blu Ray the way it was meant to be done. They have released some classic movies that are simply stunning to look at in HD. Sleeping Beauty being the main one. It was almost as if they took every frame of the movie and redrew it and recolored it. It is so fresh and clear and colorful. They have also put out Snow White, and Pinocchio which are equally stunning to look at. And of course, we can not forget the Pixar films which are mind blowing to watch in HD.

On top of the video and audio being perfection on Disney/Pixar Blu Rays, we can not forget the features. Some Blu Rays I own surprisingly have NONE. Yes, I own Days Of Thunder on Blu Ray, and it is bare bones. No special features at all. Why? All the space and power of a Blu Ray at least put something on there. But Disney? Jam, packed. every feature they can possibly imagine to fit on there, they make it fit. And of course my two favorite things, DVD and Digital Copy. I have a 1 year old who is just now getting into movies, and in his room is a DVD player. So I can use the DVD copy of the movie that comes with the Blu Ray to put on in his room while we can still enjoy the Blu Ray of the movie in the living room. And if we are out on the go and bored somewhere and feel like watching it, the Digital Copy has provided my iPhone with a copy.

So, if you own a Blu Ray player, and want to see what your player can really do, grab a few Disney Blu Rays. If you are thinking about getting a Blu Ray player still but don't really think there is a huge difference between DVD and Blu Ray, just head down to Best Buy and ask to see a Disney Blu Ray do its thing. Later this year Disney will be unleashing Beauty And The Beast to Blu Ray, along with what I think will be their best Blu Ray to date, Fantasia. Night On Bald Mountain in HD? HELL YES!

Got Some Cash? Like Watching TV? I Have The Answers!

Last month I was taking the family on a road trip to Farmville Iowa. No Farmville wasn't the real name, but it was dirt roads and tiny towns and I knew boredom would ensue. And it was the week of many premieres on TV. Well, I had some loose cash and nothing to lose, so I dropped a chunk of change and picked up the Slingbox HD Pro.I then got home, and hooked it up in under 10 minutes and was off and running. Now you are probably asking, what exactly is this Slingbox and what does it do? Very simple, the Slingbox plugs into your router, and your cable box/tivo/satellite box/dvd player/whatever you want. And you download the Slingplayer on your laptop, blackberry, or in my case, the Slingplayer app for the iPhone. And wherever you may be in the world, as long as you have the internet, you can watch your TV at home. There is an infrared plug coming off the Slingbox that points at whatever device you want to control and what you would normally see on your TV at home, you see on whatever device you are using to watch it on. Watch your TV, your DVR, or have it hooked to a DVD player and watch a DVD. I can see the DVD feature being handy for those with the multi-dvd players.

Now the downside of things. If your wife, family, or roommates are at home and watching TV, and you are out somewhere bored and wanna watch some TV and fire up the Slingbox, whatever channel or show on the DVR you choose, will affect those at home watching. But that is pretty minor to me, I find this useful for having a basketball game on and also wanting to play some Call of Duty, now I just fire up my laptop and watch the game while playing some video games on the TV. Best of both worlds.

So if you love watching TV and want to do so on the go and do a lot of traveling, then this is worth shelling out quite a bit of cash for. The HD player will set you back about $300. And for the app on the iPhone it did cost $39.99 but that might have changed. On the iPhone you can watch over Wifi or 3G and it works pretty well. I always read about people upset that Hulu is not available for the iPhone, but if you have this set up, Hulu is kinda worthless.
