Star Trek The Next Generation The Space Between #1 0f 6 IDW publishing. The first Star Trek Comic released in years comes from IDW on this the 20th anniversary of the Next Generation. The story feels very TNG and the only complaint i can have is that it’s set during the 1st year. I’d prefer to explore things that took place after the movies, to further the story but I can see how that could just be wishful thinking. The story has some good elements and the art is pretty good. All in all it’s Star Trek in the four color boxes again and I’m definetly o.k. with that. b plus

BattleStar Galactica #5 Dynamite Publishing. More on the old cyclons and the returners and a setup for a pretty cool Sharon Valeri fight with herself. It’s not really for anyone other than fans of the show and held to the shows’ high standards it unfortunately can’t compete. b-

first snow ruminations

Leave a reply

we got our first real storm here over the night. I really hate driving in this stuff. I’m just not able to not squeeze the steering wheel so tight that my hand starts to hurt. I saw 7 PS3’s in Target today. that’s funny. Ended up getting a Insignia 27″ lcd. its very pretty and bright. Ice hockey is blinding on it. Been watching some recently on dvd movies. Praire Home Companion and Mirror Mask. The former is o.k. but not great, the latter is a visual treat, but has that very Gaiamesque quality that you either like or hate. Got Miami Vice to watch in the snowstorm. I’ve been listening to Sleater Kinney lately. Where have all the good female fronted bands gone? In a moment i will be bundling up and going out for a snow lunch. maybe chinese?

Microsoft to buy capcom? woah nelly

Leave a reply


O.k. so when Microsoft bought Rare from Nintendo we knew they were serious about gaming but now there’s this nasty rumour their buying Capcom????? It makes sense from Microsofts point of view as they have been tryng to sell there name in Japan for the past ten years, but one has to wonder how many billions they will have to shell out for the house that made, mega man, street fighter, viewtiful joe, resident evil, ghost n goblins, okami, darkstalkers( this list goes on forever.) My only thought is why would Capcom agree to a foreign buyer? True most of the original talent has left the company but there is a huge resource of people there that can carry them for a long time to come. If this is true which I’m sure Bill Gates checkbook will try to make it sure, I will have no choice (hell im already saving for it) but to make my house a two console place and buy a 360. I mean if street fighter 4 or viewtiful joe 3 ever are announced, what is a fanboy to do.
current arms race.
Xbox 360 many checks for agressiveness, marketing.
Nintendo wii, pure joy.
Sony PS3. Why the hell would i buy that thing for? Another edition of madden? oh yeah im supposed to want a blue ray player. please but no thank you.

so techy, a question.

so ive been thinking about getting a hdtv. nothing too big, maybe 30inch widescreen lcd. you know the kind of thing that takes two weeks paycheck but gives back beautiful imaginary life data. I just cant decide between all the options out there. And I want to make sure it’s somewhat future proof. I’ll mostly use it for movies, and of course gaming (especially when i break down and buy a 360). Who out there has a good one you can recommend, that won’t set me back too much and that can handle refresh rates of games and action movies?

Children of Men, Alfonso Curaon’s latest is tight.

Leave a reply


Just got back from seeing Children of Men a dark and not distant at all future, where people stopped having babies. The Human race went infertile. Meanwhile the world continued to go to hell as we are currently and countries like Great Britain shut their borders and started hunting down illegal aliens and detaining them in refugee camps. This isn’t so far off that it’s science fiction and it makes a nice backdrop for this piece which is really a well done action movie about a quest to save the worlds first baby in 20 some years. A nice thrill ride and a film that stands on it’s own in style.
I give the movie an A and it should do well in the normally bleak January.

On another note I get the feeling the director has played Gears of War. Unfortanetly i couldn’t find a shot of the refugee camp online and the battle scenes that take place there but compare the color scheme and explosions of the two shots below. When the bullets start flying at the end of the movie and Clive Owen is ducking for cover anywhere he can, I just kept seeing Gears of War, and I haven’t even played the thing yet. We are almost to the point where film is borrowing more from games then games from film. still about ten years off but were almost there. And then the question will be who raises the bar first. Cinema or the Games industry?
