A Dark & Moody Production

And now I finally get back to this thing to do proper “things I found interesting” posts while trying to keep away the fact I haven’t done a proper introduction to my next project here. Blargh.

• GET TO DAH CHOPPAHH!!! is even better in HD.
  Seriously.
• There was around 4 or 5 different directors named Sergio working in the Italian film industry in the 1960s and 1970s.
  Leone, Corbucci, Sollima, and Martino for sure. I’m sure there’s one or two more I’m missing, too.
• There still has yet to be a successor to The Specialists or Action Half-Life/Quake
  That is sad. It’s been nearly 4 years since Half-Life 2 was released and still no action movie mod? What the hell is wrong with that community?! Distraction’s looking all right, though.
• A huge amount of effort is being put into Resident Evil 5…
  Despite the fact it looks like it’ll just continue the trend of RE4’s “no story, all action and style” flavor which has disillusioned RE fans everywhere. Thanks a bunch, Capcom! Ya jerks…
• People still care about music games?
  It may just be I’m tired of those damn Rock Band 2 ads. Or that I don’t have any friends to play said Rock Band 2 with at all. I find it interesting that this mainstream “trend” (and it’s just that - a temporary trend, thanks to Guitar Hero) is still going pretty strong. We’ll see how long it lasts after this, however.
• 2008 is packed full of awesome B-movies.
  Except the fact most of them are “but the story is kind of minimal” type of movies. Interesting to have that many in the same year. I have a rant on a similar topic to this coming.

And I guess that’s it for today. (more…)

So I finally did a new western film review for the Smokin’ Guns mod’s website, which can be found here. The film is MANNAJA - Sergio Martino’s dark, moody 1977 flick with lots of fog, tomahawks being thrown, and horsestunts. Good stuff!

Oh yeah, those updates on 3 Bullets are coming. Sigh, delays delays….
