David Fincher takes on Jules Vern

Fuck yeah!!!! He's doing 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, and the script is done by the dude who wrote Bourne Identity. I'm board like a motherfucker. Pun intended. And Disney is backing it. So I'm expecting a Pirates-level quality production. It's goin' down, it's goin down like there's a whale in the boat

I know Drake is a good artist and everything...

I know he's got pop culture game. But I prefer my rap a little more autentic... as in not teenie bopper actors from Toronoto, Canada. Yet, I find his tracks with Birdman to be the perfect combination of street and pop. Play Ball and Money To Blow are 2010 radio rap perfection.

3D Judge Dredd Movie

Scriped by the guy who wrote 28 Days Later and Sunshine (who I believe had far more to do with those movies being cool than Danny Boyle, who I find to be not a "bad" director at all, but more mediocre than people would care to admit. Sure, I love Train Spotting, but who doesn't. The source material, meaning the novel, was the groundwork for great drug cinema. I give you, on the other hand, The Island... A Life Less Ordinary... Millions... Shallow Grave... *YAWN*. I don't believe we've given enough credit to Boyle's 28 Days/Sunshine writer, because he hasn't pulled any of this less intersting material out from the cinematic abyss. And those movies I just named make up over HALF of his filmography.)

Anyway, back on topic, this new Judge Dredd movie is supposed to stick close to the source materia (the concept art is being drawn up by people at 2000 AD), the writer is more than credible, and hell... anything would be better than that terrible Stallone version.

Rideback

I just now started watching a Japanese show from last season called Rideback, and the first episode was incredible. Do not watch this in anything less than 720p if you can help it, MADHOUSE has done a fantastic job with the animation. They are the only anime I really follow recently, keeping me in the game with Casshern Sins and Hajime No Ippo: New Challenger. Just when I think I'm out...

I've been diggin' Stan Lee and studio Bones' new anime Heroman a lot, too, but it is not adult material. So not for Disney and Nintendo haters. Wasn't a Bones fan before this. Tried too watch Soul Eater and found it a little too Final Fantasy 7+ emo/goth tween-ish.

Iron Man 2

Saw it today and loved every minute. Jon Favreau has my number when it comes to how to make an Iron Man movie.

Drake - Find Your Love (Produced by Kanye West)

I love this song. I hated 808's & Heartbreak, not because of the idea, but because of how poorly the vocals were executed and how sub-par the production was considering this was supposed to be the new K-West album. I also had issues with some of the writing, but that is a different matter. This new Drake joint is what 808's could have been if it had been done right. How can this rapper's voice sound so sweet singing a melody? It's unprecedented. Kanye has managed to turn in the kind of crossover pop single for Drake that he wasn't able to attain for himself. He was emotionally in a bad spot when he crafted his own non-rap crossover material so that accounts for the production. He'll never sing well, though. His work with Drake is the best we'll get out of this. Kanye's new album sounds like it's shaping up to be a 90's hip-hop nostalgia record...yawn. I want more Graduation/Put On/Go Hard/Swagger Like Us/Forever Kanye. 808's into a 90's sounding record will put Kanye into a slump of irrelevance that is way beneath his talent. Make what the people want, god dammit. This retro vinyl-scratching bullshit isn't going to bring you back, man.

Did I mention

Steven Seagal is in the Machete trailer! And Lindsay Lohan is a hot nun licking the end of a fucking COLT MAGNUM!
