Is Nicolas Cage an Highlander? - answers on the 'Late Show with David Letterman'

So what does Nic Cage thinks about the whole "Nic Cage is an immortal vampire" rumor?
Nicky finally talked about it on a recent show of David Letterman...



There you have it!
"Not a vampire".
Case closed, I guess.

...
though I guess an actual immortal vampire would actually say that exact same answer..?
Mmmh.. I guess we'll still have our doubts concerning this whole affair...

The Best Movie you'll ever see: Bruce Lee and Popeye in Hell vs. Dracula and James Bond

This is actually a real movie!


 
This insane movie is actually Dragon Lives Again. A 1976 Bruceploitation movie that featured yet another fake Bruce Lee (taking advantage of his fame after his death) and a Chinese Popeye!

They really went all-out for this one, it's like the ultimate crossover!

"This is truly one of humanity's greatest work, from any culture, and any time period, this is without a doubt a cornerstone of human achievement." - some guy on youtube

Well said little fellow. Well said.

Monster-of-the-day: a Jiang Shi!

Today's "monster" is a Jiang Shi.
What you'd translate as a Chinese "hopping" vampire/zombie.
"Jiang shi , sometimes called Chinese vampires by Westerners, are reanimated corpses that hop around, killing living creatures to absorb life essence from their victims. They are said to be created when a person’s soul fails to leave the deceased’s body, due to improper death, suicide, or just wanting to cause trouble. A peculiar feature is their greenish-white furry skin. They are said to have long white hair all over their heads."

I tried to make sort of my own Jiang Shi while incorporating elements from some Jiang Shis I like (mostly Capcom's Hsien Ko/Lei Lei)
Who's gonna be the next creature of the night?!

BestOf - Awesome scenes from "Vampire's Kiss"

Here's more on Nicky for the day.
Nicolas Cage at his finest in the little cult movie Vampire's Kiss:



I love this movie. Why have so few people seen it?
I should put up a Nick Cage-marathon or something on the blog...

Comic NEWS! DC Reboot: Part IV

DC Reboot: part I 

DC Reboot: part II 

DC Reboot:: part III

Continuing my up-to-date state-of-the-art blog posting on various current news, gaming and comic book-related.
(Ha! :P)

Here's more news about the upcoming new DC Comics titles!
DC updated us on its more supernatural titles.
They're trying to diverse their lineup, not just publishing super heroes books but loads more of genres as well.

Today, let's check out these other upcoming reboots!

DC Comics embraces its dark side. On the 40th anniversary of the character’s creation, the New York Times bestselling writer of AMERICAN VAMPIRE, Scott Snyder, teams up with Yannick Paquette (BATMAN, INCORPORATED) to bring horror back to the DC Universe in SWAMP THING #1. For years, one man served against his will as the avatar of nature. And while he may have been freed of the monster, he’s about to learn the monster will never truly let go of him.

I already posted this one last time, but since it was part of this monsterous update, I decided to repost it simply.
Can't wait to see how this will follow his recent re-appearance in Brightest Day.

John Constantine, Deadman, Shade the Changing Man and Madame Xanadu are Justice League Dark, a band of supernatural heroes united to stop the dark things the rest of the DCU does not see in JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK #1, by Peter Milligan and artist Mikel Janin.

Let's be honest.. the name is ridiculous. Plain awful. Sounds like an EXTREEEME!! book from the 90s.. (don't remind me of JL:Task Force!!)
But the concept seems great.
Does this mean we won't have a relaunched Shadowpact? :/

Buddy Baker has gone from “super” man to family man – but is he strong enough to hold his family together when Maxine, his young daughter, starts to manifest her own dangerous powers? Find out in ANIMAL MAN #1, the start of a dramatic new series by acclaimed writer Jeff Lemire and artists Travel Foreman and Dan Green.

Fantastic! Buddy has his book back!

Set in the Middle Ages, the Demon leads an unlikely team to defend civilization and preserve the last vestiges of Camelot against the tide of history. Critically-acclaimed writer Paul Cornell and artists Diogenes Neves and Oclair Albert combine sorcery, swords and superheroes in DEMON KNIGHTS #1.

One question: Will this replace Etrigan book DC announced not long ago? Or will the Demon have two separate books??
And YAY! for another story taking place NOT in modern times.
(DC needs to update us on Jonah Hex btw)

Frankenstein and his network of strange beings work for an even stranger government organization: The Super Human Advanced Defense Executive. It’s the breakout hero of Seven Soldiers as you’ve never seen him before in FRANKENSTEIN, AGENT OF SHADE #1, the first issue of a dark new series from acclaimed writer Jeff Lemire (Sweet Tooth, The Nobody) and artist Alberto Ponticelli.

They're really trying very hard to sell us this recently introduced Frankenstein monster.
Lots of cameos/appearances, participation in Blackest Night, Superman/Batman title, etc..

 A cult favorite character returns in a new series written by his classic creative team of Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning. Joining them is JUSTICE LEAGUE: GENERATION LOST artist Fernando Dagnino. RESURRECTION MAN #1 is the story of a hero who wakes up with new powers each time he’s killed.

Original concept!
Definitively an interesting new property!

Vampires threaten to bring ruin to the DC Universe in I, VAMPIRE #1 by rising star Josh Fialkov and artist Andrea Sorrentino. Tortured by his centuries-old love for the Queen of the Damnned, Andrew Bennett must save humanity from the violent uprising of his fellow vampires, even if it means exterminating his own kind.

I, Vampire is back! Fans of this C-lister non-super hero DC character will be glad!
(I prefer more like him than more Bat-books honestly..)

Priscilla Kitaen has just found out she’s a monster. A half-alien hybrid, the woman known as Voodoo must confront the secrets of her past to make sense of the nightmare her life has suddenly become. VOODOO #1 will be written by Ron Marz with art by Sami Basri.


Witchblade is that you?
Another new title.


And that is all for now!
All these feel pretty Vertigo-ysh, which is good. (DC's alternative publishing branch)
Alright. We're past the mid-point? I mean they said they were going to publish 52 new titles, right? We're probably between 20-30 comics by now.

Joss Whedon doesn't suck. And hates this revoltin' development.

So, once again, Hollywood writers, running out of ideas like always, decided to remake/reboot another cult loved franchise.
This time, they're gonna reboot Buffy The Vampire Slayer without any participation from its original creator, Joss Whedon.

First, the series isn't that old come on!
(though I gotta admit...I'm not a fan really...)
Second... couldn't they let Joss on it?
It's just some random new producers, out of ideas for the past 10+ years, that probably thought "Hey!! Buffy seems popular. So it can still make some money. I want on it!! Let's remake the thing in a big blockbuster movie, hire me the cheapest writers, actors and director you can find!!"

Here's Joss Whedon own reaction from today, on E! News:

"This is a sad, sad reflection on our times, when people must feed off the carcasses of beloved stories from their youths-just because they can't think of an original idea of their own, like I did with my Avengers idea that I made up myself.
Obviously I have strong, mixed emotions about something like this. My first reaction upon hearing who was writing it was, "Whit Stillman AND Wes Anderson? This is gonna be the most sardonically adorable movie EVER." Apparently I was misinformed. Then I thought, "I'll make a mint! This is worth more than all my Toy Story residuals combined!" Apparently I am seldom informed of anything. And possibly a little slow. But seriously, are vampires even popular any more?
I always hoped that Buffy would live on even after my death. But, you know, AFTER. I don't love the idea of my creation in other hands, but I'm also well aware that many more hands than mine went into making that show what it was. And there is no legal grounds for doing anything other than sighing audibly. I can't wish people who are passionate about my little myth ill. I can, however, take this time to announce that I'm making a Batman movie. Because there's a franchise that truly needs updating. So look for The Dark Knight Rises Way Earlier Than That Other One And Also More Cheaply And In Toronto, rebooting into a theater near you."

'nuff said!
