I can’t wait to go back. Here’s some pics, courtesy of Danal: FOR MORE: Comic-con 2008 Photo Album

A loose interpretation of The Thing, sure, but some very cool stuff. I wish it followed the movie closer though:

Or at least, that’s my prediction. Fallout from the Activision/Blizzard merger has led to the new company skipping out on a variety of in-the-work games (Ghostbusters being one of them). That doesn’t mean the game is canceled, just that it won’t be published by Activision (which is strange as it was in Activision’s booth all [...]

I’ve watched this maybe 6 times. That Pumpkins song is snug in my brain now, and forever eradicated from the Batman & Robin soundtrack. WATCH!

Remember those two-foot tall Shogun Warrior toys from the 70s? Remember your old neckless Kenner Stormtrooper figure? Well, they’ve been off making babies, and you’ll be able to adopt them later this year. Clickie this linkie. Congratulations to the happy grandparents, Brian and Frank!

I didn’t think I was going to like this. This was not the teaser my mother warned me about. I’m frickin’ excited!! I wish I didn’t know the whole twist and all that jazz, or at least, I’m hoping that it’s all a ruse on McG’s part. Dear God, I’m excited for a McG movie. [...]

I love Steve Coogan — Snake Baker turned me on to his BBC series, “I’m Alan Partridge,” which comes close to OFFICE status to me (emphasis on close). Anyway, I just saw this trailer for HAMLET 2 and laughed my ass off – hope it’s better than average…

Quite possibly my favorite movie all year (sorry WALL-E). ZOMFG.

The Bo Burnham assault continues, with this tribute to The Perfect Woman. Support Bo by spending five bucks:

Wow, this “real”ization of Jessica Rabbit is not bad, she’s not even drawn that way!

Geeks anxiously awaiting DOLLHOUSE can meantime get their Joss Whedon fix with this bizarre web show, created during the writer’s strike, starring Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion. The main site is BOGGED and having trouble loading at the moment, but I’m sure it will be fixed up soon. Meantime see the TEASER and read [...]

Then again, I said hello, but I didn’t meet him either. It’s a sad day when no one goes to see Eddie Murphy movies anymore.

Christa, something else to play through while trapped on a plane! The catch? For some reason it’s only being released in Europe, at least initially. 505 Games today announced a deal with Twentieth Century Fox Licensing & Merchandising to unleash an official new game based on the world-famous Buffy the Vampire Slayer franchise, exclusively for [...]

But only in IMAX. Guess it’ll have to wait for screening #2! There’s reports out there of a 15-second trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Cool!

The Carry Phenomenon finally has a place to call home. For more: In My Arms

Fighting games aren’t the same without a basement and Mike, but still, Soul Calibur IV looks pretty cool — and you fight in a Star Destroyer hangar! UPDATE: Proper spelling of “hangar”.

Makes me wish there was more movies in the works, even though the original was kinda boring. BTW, related Aki news, CG folks are perverts (yes, we’re looking at you Christa!): “Aki was voted to be one of the sexiest women ever by Maxim and its readers, becoming the first fictional woman to ever make [...]
