A ‘brief’ encounter with Hard Gay Philippines
It is known to the world that Masaki Sumitani, the man behind the phenomenon Hard Gay (HG), had already “retired” two years ago. While some thought they would never hear from him again except from the videos people uploaded on YouTube, one man took a stand. With the original HG “out of the scene”, one Filipino citizen who chose to be concerned took his place for him. Patrick, dubbing himself as Hard Gay Philippines (HGP), debuted at...
A coverage of Ozine Fest 2008
Image Source: http://www.otakuzine-mag.com It’s been a week since the storm called Ozine Fest 2008 had calmed down. It was held last April 5 and 6 at Megatrade Hall 2, SM Megamall, presented by Otakuzine Anime Magazine and Lineage II. Just like any other conventions, you would expect a lot, and I do mean a lot of cosplayers roaming around and outside the venue. I went on both days to document the sights and sounds (not to mention the...
Jason Reitman turned down Justice League
For movie buffs, you might know Jason Reitman as that Canadian writer/director/actor/producer who directed films such as Thank You for Not Smoking and Juno. In his appearance in the Howard Stern show (and thank goodness not to ride the sybian), he mentioned that he declined handling the Justice League movie. “What am I going to do with Justice League of America? So Basically I’ll make a movie that is not as good as X-Men, then I’ll be...
Ric Flair: Thank you for the “WOOOOOOOO!”
Image Source: WWE.com I couldn’t think of the right words to describe “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair right now. It’s just so unreal that the 36-year career of “The Man” has ended after he was defeated by “The Heartbreak Kid” Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XXIV last March 30th. Though I know it was bound to happen, I still get goosebumps just seeing the photos of his emotional final WWE match; the way he staged his retirement, a “career...
Street Fighter movie: Kristin Kreuk as Chun-Li
More casting news for some more movie adaptations of geekdom classics. Next stop after that crazy news about the Justice League movie, we have Street Fighter. Probably an attempt to coincide with the release of the new Street Fighter 4 game to double up on the publicity. The first SF movie sucked so much that I got jaded with SF for quite some time after. Even Kylie Minogue was a letdown playing Cammy with too much cover. Anyway,...
Casting crap: Hayden Christensen is Superman for Justice League movie?
Before we move on to the more scandalous part of this news bit, let’s start with the basics first. So the Justice League Mortal movie rumors that have been around for quite sometime might not be rumors anymore with director George Miller and team skipping from down under to Canadian north to scout for locations. I’m not really a big fan of the Justice League but hey, something as big as this definitely is worth the...
