A-ha, so there ARE daylight battles in Pacific Rim! Excellent. I was almost under the impression that this film was going to take place over the course of a very long and busy night or perhaps the behemoths those human-powered Jaegers face off against were part vampire or something. Well, the effects team isn’t trying to hide any wires holding things up, that’s for sure. Although I’m secretly hoping for a “blooper” reel of Gerry Anderson-inspired shenanigans (wires and all). Hmmm… I wonder how Guillermo Del Toro would feel about making a film based on the old UFO TV show? Oh, wishful thought machine OFF, as I need my few remaining brain cells for tomorrow’s crunch of writing…

Oy, What a Week… I Need Some Animal Assistance!

Blib. Blub. Beelzebub. My head hurts (well not so much now). Maybe I’m missing something, but I can’t help thinking the tech world sometimes lives at the 1939 World’s Fair and occasionally flits forward in time to the 1964 one. Lots of cool stuff is on the way, but like the old days, it relies on spending lots and lots of money for some things that won’t e a reality until lots and lots more money is spent setting up circumstances for these products to work. Anyone know of a 4K television program or network yet? No? Well, you better get ready for TV’s that have colors and detail you might not want to see (and maybe the return of 3D. Again.). While this will be great for the demanding cinephiles out there, I can’t wait to see classics like Citizen Kane, The Gold Rush and many others re-re (and in some cases, RE)-restored in SUPER pore-counting detail and not a hair or scratch on screen (he said slightly snarkily)…

Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection – I Did My “Snake’s on a Plane” Joke Already…
Konami and Hideo Kojima can squeeze money from fans of the Metal Gear Solid franchise any time they want to and given the huge amount of interest in this upcoming collection, it looks as if fans worldwide aren’t minding one bit. The great thing is, the PS3 is region free, so anyone anywhere can pick this set of classics up and get it shipped to them. Granted, that airmail shipping isn’t cheap to many locations, but as I said, the harder core fans of the series probably don’t give a hoot. I have most of these titles here in the library but yes, I still want this pricey box set. Well, it’s not THAT expensive considering what’s inside… but I’m not made of money like that guy in those Geico ads who I wish would zip around the block here on that motorbike of his…
