Initial D Extra Stage 2 coming on pay-per-view, DVD
I have to admit that I was (am?) an Initial D nut. It wasn’t my first exposure to drifting and cars but it sure pushed me to be a car and driving nut. While I haven’t gotten as far as getting myself my own black-and-white Corolla GTS/Trueno Sprinter/Corolla Levin AE86 and slap on a Fujiwara tofu-ten sticker on the side and drive around like I was a drifting master, I pushed me to do my fair share of rubber burning.

Queer Eye director to helm Voltron live-action movie
The weekend hasn’t been sugoi at all with all of this news bits plaguing my feed reader. First, it was that Dragonball movie update. Now, this one on the upcoming live-action Voltron movie. Max Makowski, producer, writer and director, will be directing the big-screen Voltron adaptation.

But what makes this a travesty of justice is that Stephen Chow is producing this potential pile of steaming crap. This is...
Agent Mulder loves the sexy times

The Intarwebs has been rife with this newsbit especially with the recent run of the new The X-Files movie in which he reprises his role as Agent Fox Mulder opposite Gillian Anderson. Not that I believe that the “X” in X-Files and his Californication role (where he plays a really horny dude) had...
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...
