‘TOY STORY 3’ writer penned the new ‘STAR WARS trilogy’s treatment. Brad Bird, Spielberg, others to take a look.
I know that someday in the next three years I’ll be pulling pubes out and cursing Episode VII. I know that, aiight? Just let me enjoy the glow of new Star Wars news that doesn’t make me want to vomit blood. Up in here today we have the little tidbit that the writer behind Toy Story 3 and Little Miss Sunshine is responsible for the new trilogy’s treatment. And not only that, but the treatment will cross some impressive desks.
Monday Morning Commute: Gooey Groined Existential Bliss
If you listen closely during Autumn here on the Eastern seaboard of the Empire, you can hear the gentle hum of the Universe. Raised hairs on the nape of your neck, don’t despair. You are sensing during the Fall the quiet passage of Existence. For some it drives them into intoxicants, lonely. For some, it drives them to intoxicants, relishing the diminished weather. For me, I find a gentle joy in the gathering of family around roasted beasts, around football games, around the scattered leaves and the comfy clothing.
This is Monday Morning Commute. The column where we all gather and share what we’re enjoying on a given week. Let us not acknowledge the grind this week, but rather enjoy our little community. Humming along towards star stuff repurposing, humming along together.
‘METAL GEAR SOLID: GROUND ZEROES’ is an open-world prologue to MGS5. Infinite Scissors 61!
For some reason I’m stoked for Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes. Intellectually, I know I shouldn’t be. MGS4 shit in my soul. Right deep down in there. However, I’ll float Kojima the past. Homeboy is bringing this newest title into an open-world, and he is paying it forward and giving me a younger Snake. I’m sold. Okay? Sold.
‘CHINESE ZODIAC’ TEASER TRAILER: Jackie Chan in a rollerblading suit. What the f**k, yes.
I hadn’t even heard of this shit until today, and now my mind is blown. Jackie Chan is all done up in a fucking rollerblading suit in the trailer for Chinese Zodiac. A film, which if it is anything like its teaser trailer, will be of the utmost amazing ridiculousness.
‘FIRST CLASS’ sequel’s title is ‘DAYS OF FUTURE PAST’, and this could be the goddamn glory.
The sequel to X-Men: First Class is called Days of Future Past. Goodness me, if they can bring that storyline to life with something resembling fidelity I am sprung. Goddamn sprung. It is one of my favorite X-Men tales of all time, though I know I am not exactly setting myself apart by saying so.
‘BORDERLANDS 2’ TRAILER: Full ‘LION KING’ Treatment For Our Horror-Win
Borderlands 2 goes In The Jungle. Wasn’t what you were expecting, but god dammit you’ll fucking love it.
THE JOKER Returns In ‘BATMAN’ #13, I Nod And Want To Hug Snyder.
Hell yes. I’m madly in love with Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s run on Batman in the rebooted!, relaunched!, totally New 52! Seeing as I’m drinking their delicious honeyed nectar, how can I not be stoked they’re handling the return of the Joker?
