Foxx is Electric!!!

First of all I would like to apologize for the title, it wasn't my idea....ok it was but I have good reason. So this is OLD news but apparently Jamie Foxx is up for the role of Electro in the upcoming "The Amazing Spiderman 2." I am realizing now that the title is just a mouthful, you would think that while everyone in the superhero film making industry is using Christopher Nolan's Batman films as source material they would follow in its path of not using the same name with a number following. I guess you can take gritty and still keep Sh.... you know what, I am not going to finish that statement.I am actually ecstatic about Foxx being up for the role, he is an amazing actor and would do a great job portraying the villain. I just hope they don't give him some corny back story of being an ex-gang banger, seriously my fingers are crossed. I held back from posting anything about it because I didn't want to jinx it (or I was too lazy, I am not telling). I had to speak up when Marc Webb spoke out and said he is a front runner for the job. Sure that wasn't a direct quote but I like it better that way. I just hope that they don't go the route of the green and yellow outfit and more the bad ass Ultimate Spiderman version of Electro.

Please for the love of Stan Lee don't do this!

Terminator Cheetah!!!

I am constantly ranting about the possibility of Skynet being plausible. I truly believe if we keep creating machines that out perform humans in every way then they will capture and enslave us all. Maybe that last bit was a slight stretch. Remember Cheetor from the Transformers film (Some can dispute if that was him or not, I am sticking to my guns until someone corrects me)  and how devastating he was! Well Boston Dynamics have took it upon themselves to create the cyber-cat. This cat can run about 28 MPH, sure you can go faster then that in a car, but on foot your better off calling the morgue yourself. So far it can reach that speed on a treadmill, but they care working on a outdoor terrain model. Below is a graphic of the Wildcat (outdoor terrain model), a video of it reaching it's speed, and what I envision it will look like in about 5 years to the end of the human race!

Okay they don't look alike....YET!!!

First Official Photo of Hugh Jackman in the Upcoming Wolverine Film

There isn't much to say about the film, its going to be in Japan and he is taking his role seriously. Say what you will about the films but Hugh Jackman has burned a permanent mark into the minds of his fans, he is WOLVERINE. I gotta say he looks pretty bad ass. Enjoy!

What is that I see?! Me thinks it is RoboCop!!!

What kind of world would we be living in if they made a reboot to Total Recall and not one for an old school denizen of the crime-ridden Detroit, Michigan. I am guessing this one will take place in the near future, because the last film seems to have taken place in our past. Either way the outfit looks pretty cool, well it did when Snake Eyes wore it in the G.I. Joe film. Looks like a cross between Batman / Snake Eyes / Judge Dredd. I smell a lawsuit....not really.

Looks a little like Snake Eyes

"Black is the new Chrome" (I think I just wrote an add for them!)

Short Films You Will Enjoy

Hey there ShiNigglers I got some treats below for you. First up is a fan made film with this as the description "Batman The Dark Knight takes on Captain America the first Super Soldier. Who would win in a fight? We want you to decide! It's batarang vs. shield in the first episode of Ultimate Fan Fights!"  The concept is pretty cool in that you can choose your ending to the video. It is a bit like those old Goosebump books when you could pick your ending. I chose for Captain America to win. Make your own choice.

New episodes air each month so subscribe to START!

The second treat is my favorite out of the two. I really liked Thomas Jane as the Punisher and was a bit let down when I found out that he wouldn't be reprising the role in the sequel. If they have any sense, which I am sure they don't, they will revive the franchise with Jane back in the role as Marverl's favorite Anti-Hero. The video is pretty badass and not intended for the younger audiences out there. Enjoy!

Fish Parasite Named After Bob Marley

I read this article and I had no intention of posting it, but the side of me that found this funny couldn't help but to put it out there for others. So an assistant professor of marine ecology and field marine biology at Arkansas State University (We are going to call him Paul Sikkel...because that is his name) discovered and named a "gnathiid isopod" after the reggae artist. [For a description on what a gnathiid is click here http://bit.ly/LfUKmx.]

What fascinated me about the article was that they really named a parasite after a musician. I don't see how that is a great honor but who am I to judge right. Here is the official description of the parasite: "a small parasitic crustacean blood feeder that infests certain fish that inhabit the coral reefs of the shallow eastern Caribbean." .....WHAAAAT?! I guess because they both are from the caribbean I can kind of see why they relate. (my head was shaking no as I said that last statement.) Below is a picture of a fish being harassed by the Bob Marley parasite. Enjoy ShiNigglers.

The Next Big Move For Marvel Is To Infiltrate Dorm Rooms.

Marvel is gearing up with some new apparel focused at men/women looking to mix up a little of their alma mater with their favorite super heroes. Below is an image of the confirmed designs so far. Not sure what the driving force behind certain designs are but if the University of Florida gets our friendly neighborhood Spider-man, I think I might just throw money at them.

Dragon Ball Movie Confirmed and The Return of A Certain Moon Princess

It has been confirmed that there will be a Dragon Ball Film. When I say confirmed take that very loosely as I don't even know how much of that statement I believe. A countdown was created on the Shonen Jump Website for a certain surprise on july 14th (http://shonenjump.com/j/countdown/).



 I don't read much japanese but sources say in english it translates to a film. Here is a close up to my friends in the land of the rising sun.

I am just excited because Akira Toriyama will be working on this project as well. Good to know they have the creator on board, not much like the garbage that was GT. Toriyama states that the film will have a lot of the same original feel with a bit of "Modern Flavor"...whatever that means. I also have to say that Sailor Moon is getting another series. Not sure what other information is out there on this except that the group that made the original japanese theme song is working on another for the new show. Yaaaaah...I think.




UPDATE (Like 5 minutes after post): Did some more digging and I found an actual promotional page from the shonen jump with the announcement of the time the film will drop.

 

Guess you can get excited for another KAME HA MEHA!

NICE! Well today Ubisoft released some gameplay footage of the newest assassin to join the ranks of  Desmond Miles amazing family tree. Well I won't bore you with words, enjoy the video!

The Last Airbender sequel.... NO AANG!?

Yes it is true, a trailer was released giving us a look at the avatar. The newest avatar will be a waterbender named Korra. She seems to be a bit older then Aang, and the gender swap is certainly going to be taking some getting used too. If this is anything like the past series, I have no doubt it will be amazing in its own right! Get excited, or not...There is a new avatar in town and she aims to blow our minds. Or would it be water I minds...eh, whatever just watch the trailer!
