cin3matic roundup"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"text-paragraph\">[ <b>current selection<\/b> | fatboy slim \u2013 <i>love island<\/i> ]<br>[ <b>feelin\u2019<\/b> | <i>yogurty<\/i> ]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-paragraph\">there seems to be alot of cin3matic rumblings today\u2026woo. ign posted today about the new villain for the third <i>star wars<\/i> movie, <a href=\"http:\/\/filmforce.ign.com\/starwars\/articles\/506\/506287p1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">general grievous<\/a>, whos been added recently to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.starwars.com\/databank\/character\/generalgrievous\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">star wars databanks<\/a>. hes described as a part non-humanoid alien, part custom droid\u2026and looks either really sad or really mad. poor dude. they also linked to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.joecorroney.com\/cgi-local\/imageFolio.cgi?direct=Star_Wars\/Star_Wars_Insider_Art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">concept sketches<\/a> by joe corroney thats gives a better look at the villain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-paragraph\"><b>HOWLS MOVING CASTLE<\/b><br>ign also posted a coo article on hayao miyazakis next movie, <a href=\"http:\/\/filmforce.ign.com\/articles\/506\/506235p1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">howls moving castle<\/a>, which is loosely based on diana wynne jones\u2019 book of the same name. the story revolves around sophie, a girl who, after being cursed by a sorceress and becomes an old woman, takes refuge in a giant walking castle belonging to a wizard named howl. the walking castle is actually powered by a fire demon, calcifer, who resides in its hearth and is bound to howl. when the demon meets sophie, he makes a deal with her\u2026he\u2019ll break her curse if she can find a way to break his. the visuals look pretty crazy (check the castle), and it <i>is<\/i> miyazaki\u2026who can do no wrong (except for that movie about tanukis and their balls). ign also has a link to a short teaser for the movie on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.onlineghibli.com\/howls_castle\/media.php\">online ghibli<\/a>, which briefly shows the moving castle in action. craziness. the movie is set to be released in japan this fall\u2026and with any luck, maybe the u.s. as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-paragraph\"><b>I, ROBOT (STILL SUCKS)<\/b><br>theres a new trailer up for alex proyas\u2019 movie adaption of isaac asimovs <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cinescape.com\/0\/editorial.asp?aff_id=0&amp;this_cat=Movies&amp;action=page&amp;type_id=&amp;cat_id=270338&amp;obj_id=41267\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">i, robot<\/a>. more action, more will smith-talk, more of those bulbous white robots with the freaky freaky faces. i still dont like will smith, and the robots definitely still look like gelatinous poo. no good, no good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-paragraph\"><b>AZKABAN AND GOBLET OF FIRE<\/b><br>there was a mention on cinescape of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cinescape.com\/0\/editorial.asp?aff_id=0&amp;this_cat=Movies&amp;action=page&amp;type_id=&amp;cat_id=270338&amp;obj_id=41271\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">abc azkaban special<\/a> on may 9th that was posted about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.m3ntalcontraband.com\/journal\/archives\/000576.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">yesterday<\/a>. they did however throw in that the fourth potter movie, <i>goblet of fire<\/i>, has an anticipated release date of november 18th, 2005. wooha\u2026thats just about a year and a half after <i>azkabans<\/i> release. wow, fast-track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-paragraph\"><b>WILDCATS<\/b><br>and this last bit of news isnt movie-related, but i still thought it worth noting. wildstorm comics has announced that they are cancelling the comic series <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cinescape.com\/0\/editorial.asp?aff_id=0&amp;this_cat=Comics&amp;action=page&amp;type_id=&amp;cat_id=270363&amp;obj_id=41272\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wildcats<\/a>. while i want to say that this is poo, i havent really followed the series\u2026or comics for that matter, in a long time. for those who arent familiar with <i>wildcats<\/i>, it was one of the flagship comic books released by image comics in 1992 (along with <i>spawn, youngbloods, shadowhawk<\/i>, and <i>the savage dragon<\/i>) after its founders broker away from marvel. its artist and creator, <a href=\"http:\/\/groups.msn.com\/artofjimlee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">jim lee<\/a>, was (and still is) in my mind, probably the best american comic book artist ever. i still have issues 1 thru\u2026something, of the original <i>wildcats<\/i>\u2026when it was still just your typical superhero ass-kicking comic. its since evolved into a covert ops-themed comic geared primarily towards adults\u2026and jim lee hasnt drawn for <i>wildcats<\/i> in a long time. but itll still be missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
