Small mercy: Jon Favreau to be back for Iron Man 2
Yes, more movie-for-geek madness in this sugoi blitz posting. When it was first rumored that Iron Man 2 will lose Jon Favreau at the helm, I started to think that the second installment wouldn’t be the The Dark Knight to Batman Begins. That the whole Iron Man movie franchise would break into pieces and succumb to the same fate as the Matrix trilogy. But yes, thank God for small mercies, Jon will be back. You see, the best thing...
1st Dragonball trailer due this October
When everyone else is barfing because of too much beer, some die-hard otakus might just be barfing their guts out when they finally see the trailer this October. That’s where we’d all get to see some white dude with spiky hair play Goku and a bunch of other white chicks trying to pass off as J.

Tekken set to grace the big screen
We saw Street Fighter in 1995 and realized that it was merely a cosplay movie. We saw Resident Evil debut its original heroine in 2002, and some, if not most of us were none too impressed. We saw DOA: Dead or Alive in 2006 and realized that sizzling girls do not blend with a mediocre plot.
