1983's animated rock'n'roll music adventure is getting a Blu-ray release.
Rock & Rule is the post-apocalyptic classic tale of legendary evil rock star kidnapping a beautiful female singer in the hopes of utilizing her pipes to summon an ancient demon (Yeah, I know your mom told you the story before bed every night just like mine did.)But not the whole band is keen on awakening an ancient evil, and they set out on a mission to Nuke York in an attempt rescue the rock damsel in distress!
This all occurs, of course, with a killer soundtrack from such greats as Iggy Pop, Cheap Trick, Lou Reed and others. Essentially if you liked Heavy Metal, this might be right up your alley!
No official word on extras yet, but it would be safe to assume that you would at least get what came with the Rock & Rule 2-Disc Anniversary DVD release a few years back.
That is all I really have to say about this movie, as I even hesitated to tell you that much. But for any of you who did have to suffer through this critical and financial bomb I present you with a possible cathartic release. Again I am sorry if I offended you at all with this article but hey, it's my job and rain, sleet, great films or schlock I am going to get it done!
No extras have been announced yet, but this will be a 3-Disc combo release consisting of a DVD, Blu-ray and a Digital Copy of Marmaduke.
So you got her back to your bedroom, highfive stud!
Then the inevitable question arises almost as fast as you do, "Do you have protection?" Now what you do next may make or break the evening’s coital activities.
What do you boyscout, were you prepared?
Do you:
A) Fumble through you nightstand for that one damn prophylactic you know you left in there somewhere.
B) Say, "Nah, babe. But I'm good to go!" (GAME OVER)
Or are player enough to go with option "C"?
C) Bust out your Game Boy themed condoms case and hop on that honey like Mario on a Goomba?!
I think the answer is pretty obvious! Now the only tough decision is what game to go with, with such classics as Donkey Schlong, Sextris and The Long End of Zelda the choice is yours!
It is official; modern robotics has finally reached perfection because you sure as hell can't beat this!
Let me introduce you the Willow Garage Robot. This little champ has been successful at mundane tasks, and has even proven itself a proficient pool shark but it has now found it's primary directive: getting your lazy biomass housed!
Just place your order via a web interface, hit the "Beer Me" button and just sit back and wait for your Robo-waiter to deliver you a cold brew.
Enjoy perfection:
Hell, he'll even crack it open for you if you request it! Although I think the Beer-bot either hasn't quite mastered the technique quite yet, or he just shakes the beer up a bit as a general display of distaste for humanity.
It is a hot day here, and I know many of you can respect anything that can make hydration/inebriation easier is only a step forward for humanity ...
The sequel to 2007's 30 Days of Night, a movie that shows great vampires don't sparkle or wear guyliner, is getting a straight to DVD and a combo DVD/Blu-ray release October 5th.
30 Days of Night: Dark Days is based off the graphic novel of the same name that picks up the story where the first film left off, but now with even more pissed of Nosferatu!
Extras Include:
PS3 Wallpaper Theme
Filmmaker Commentary
Vampires Exist: The Gritty Realism of Dark Days
Graphic Inspirations: Comic to Film (Blu-ray Only)
I have been wicked busy the past couple of days, which means my original plan for my Shatnerthon posts had to be scrapped. But as the old saying goes: Let the Shat hit the fan!
People have been writing about William Shatner’s prolific acting career. He has had a simply stellar (Pun not intended, but then I read this sentence and decided that I am not above puns, so deal with it!) presence on TV and the silver screen.
People have mused over Bill “Rocketman” Shatner’s musical accomplishments. I really have nothing to add, his body of work speaks for itself.
All these are things that Mr. Bill Shatner is known and loved for, but what does Bill love? What makes Kirk tick? What does Denny Crane do to take the edge off? Get ready, because this news may come as something of a shock to those of you that have only known William Shatner as a public figure.
William Shatner is many things, actor, musician, Canadian, author, and spokesman. But if you were to ask Bill who he identifies himself as he will most likely say that he is foremost an equestrian.
That’s right Shatner’s one true passion in life is … horses.
Yup, ol’ Bill fancies himself a cowboy! But he doesn't do it solo; he breeds, trains and competes with the other love of his life, his wife Elizabeth Anderson, on his 360 acre horse ranch in Kentucky. The Shatman raises various kinds of horses but primarily American Saddlebreds and Quarter Horses (Yeah, I don't really know what that means either ...) several of which have actually become successful champions.
Shatner doesn't do this for just his own benefit though and in the truest fashion of awesome badassery he hosts a horse show disguised as a charity fundraiser in Hollywood that draws in the big wigs of the industry every year. And you are damn right he wears a cowboy hat!
Hell, there is even a special riding competition named after him; the overly epic sounding Shatner Class.
At this point (if you are still reading this post about Shatner’s love of horses, and I wouldn’t blame you if you weren’t …) you may be asking yourself, “Self, why should I care about Billie’s horse obsession?”
Answer: Because William Shatner does, and that should be a good enough reason for you!
I could go on but because I just couldn’t possibly describe it any better then a shoddily taped, and extremely dated, TV interview I’ll just let the Shatman explain his love, in his ... own ... SYNCOPATED, PERsonaldialECT!
Enjoy, I sure did:
Aw crap ... now I have to write about his affinity for dogs.
