The Prince of Persia trilogy could make a very very very excellent film trilogy.. if handled right. I'm having the distinct feeling it quite won't be handled right in the hands of Mr. Bay. Although the Rock IS incredibly awesome... maybe Nic Cage should play the Prince and Sean Connery can play the Vizzier? I kid, I kid.

...I've been manually editing my ID3 tags for seven years, and been doing it in iTunes for 3 and a half. How is this not widely known? If someone complains about this, by the way, they can shove it. I've manually done every ID3 tag for EACH ONE OF MY 13,700 SONGS. FEAR ME. (It's 3:30 in the morning - leave me alone)

Priceless. Totally priceless. I want to see this movie BADLY. It'd be nothing but hilarity. Rob Zombie's trailer looks awful though, except for the awesome overacting on Nicolas Cage's part.

I don't know what Patrick Bateman has to do with this article, but it totally made me laugh my ass off.

I find the Elite debacle to be a debacle because I need to fucking buy a whole new 360 (for $480) to watch my copy of King Kong in 1080p.

And don't you dare say there is no difference, or I will grab my copy of The Departed on Blu-ray and beat you over the head with it.

And people bitching about the $4.. it's not so much the fact that it's EXPENSIVE.. which it's obviously not. It's stupid, because the only reason these maps cost $4 are so they can make money off all the Halo 2 fans who still obsessively play an outdated FPS.

These maps ARE four years old. I'm sure they took time, as anyone with ANY modding or professional game design experience will tell you, but did they take more time than, say... Raven Down and Old Bones? Hmm.

Oh well I hate Halo anyways, so it's a moot point.

They could easily release Sin City 2 in the first half of 2008 and the third film in the latter half of 2008. The first film took less than 6 months from pre-production to completion... I think the whole principal phtography was done in 3 weeks if I remember correctly. So this is just a matter of getting schedules arranged and how much time Rodriguez wants to take off after Grind House. There's been rumors about Johnny Depp playing Wallace in Sin City 3: To Hell And Back for about 2 years now since the first film came out. It's nice to have them substantiated by Rodriguez himself. No idea who Banderas would play though...

The loss of video sync is not all that big a deal to me, as I had no real interest in this. I just wanted to stream the massive amounts of uh, home video I have on my main PC to the giant TV I have. So I can watch, uh videos of my friends 'n' such. Not Blood Diamond or Children of Men or anything. Nope.

Um, I don't own any games. Sue me. Well, technically I have flOw. But I think this study refers to actual disc-based games.

If we're counting Blu-ray movies for shits'n'giggles I have 9:

American Psycho
Black Hawk Down
Casino Royale
The Departed
Layer Cake
Memento
NIN Live: Beside You In Time (!!!)
The Prestige
Talladega Nights

I'll be picking up some more over the next month. Including ROCKY BALBOA!

The Persian empire sprawled over much of the Middle East. If I remember correctly, Iraq is the "main portion" of the old Persian empire. Although the depictions in the film (and the graphic novel) are not based on fact at all.. it's heavily stylized and dramatized and emphasized and other words that end in ized. Just wait until the Prince of Persia movie. You'll still have an inaccurate description of the Persian empire, but hey, at least it will be in a positive light, eh?

I don't see how anyone could NOT like this movie. It has everything for everyone... well, at least everyone who enjoys action movies, methinks.

Fucking fantastic. I smell a special effects nomination next year...
