[ audio selection | groove armada – superstylin’ ]
poot, i missed the law & order filming in my lobby last nite. i was too busy chewing on cajun food at acme with the pho-meister. ah well…whatev. i think it was a diet law & order anyway, like “trial by jury” or something. the rockin’ cajun was more worth it, tho pho did get a bit of a stomach ache afterwards.
WILLY WONKA
anyhoo, the return of random movie news! yay! first up is a super-sneaky (possible) first look at the new willy wonka himself, johnny depp. from the set of tim burtons charlie and the chocolate factory, the sun (via aicn) has a fuzzy b+w spy shot of depp sporting dark shades and a tophat ala wonka. tho aicn speculates the shades are just circumstantial (read: not part of the costume), the tophat is straight-up wonka. coo beans yo.
EPISODE.3
second up is a treasure-trove of rumors, speculations, and confirmations (and shoot-downs) of rumors and speculations for the upcoming star wars eps3, via aicn. the collection of info apparently comes not only from around the web, but also from someone whos seen a rough cut of the movie…and some of the tidbits sound downright coo. i know, its easy to be suspicious. but who honestly cant wait to see the jedis get a costco-sized can of whoop-ass opened up on them? mace gets whacked, obi-wan kicks anakins ass, and sidious/the emperor takes a massive dump on the galaxy. sounds fun yo…so take a read of the lengthy collection of eps3 info.
DOA ULTIMATE
and finally, this isnt movie news or anything, but it makes for a good accompanying pic. while anyone whos ever played dead or alive has probably felt a little dirty for thinking the characters were hot (and they were), the game series nevertheless rocked. back in the kickass dreamcast days, we wasted away hours huddled around the tv in jen+carols 312 apartment with dead or alive 2, smacking each other stupid with girls in tiny outfits and guys in metallic teletubby costumes. the fact that the girls were hot, and that you could actually adjust the bounciness of their jumblies was merely a perk. so now the xbox gets doa: ultimate edition…a souped-up version of doa2 with more characters, badass graphics, an assload of extra features, beach costumes (read: bikinis), a kasumi santa costume (word)…and if you happen to be in japan and get the limited-edition kasumi-chan xbox package, a life-sized kasumi “love pillow” too. um…

I was messing around on the xbox last night and fired up DoA volleyball, at which point I said to myself “man, I should really play this more often”
Its a pillow H., what else could it possibly be?
