DVD Tuesday (Directed by Uwe Boll)

dvds-4-15-08.jpg

Well maybe it’s unfair to plague these other two releases with the ‘Boll’ moniker. However, it has been proven* that just being released to DVD the same week as an Uwe Boll movie is detrimental to video sales.

In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale - Please… someone stop him. Uwe Boll strikes again, forever dooming video game based movies to a reputation of crap. Luckily for us this 80 million dollar craptastrophe did only 3 million on the opening weekend and only 10 million or so world wide. Apparently he admitted disappointment and is saying he will stick to smaller films in the future. We can only hope. Look at the cast in this thing! How did these good people get wrapped into such a mess?

On another note he also made the ‘Postal’ movie that is to be released in May… hopefully that will be the final nail in the coffin. Also in the currently in development Postal 3 video game you will have the opportunity to kill Uwe Boll. If that’s not a selling point, I don’t know what is.

Juno - J Jonah Jameson’s daughter Kitty Pryde gets knocked up by George Michael. Michael Bluth and Sydney Bristow try to adopt the baby. If you get all of these references, you’re on the right site.

Alien vs Predator: Requiem -Aliens, Predators, Aliedators, Predaliens… apparently it’s a Christmas story.

*Proof not applicable where you live. May just be a gut feeling.

We’re like a bad penny, we just keep turning up. Episode 8.

Podcast IconChuck and Jay are back from sick leave and raring to get into a lively discussion about Indiana Jones (as promised), unfortunately tangents take over as Chuck waxes nostalgic about Frank Zappa, why 8-tracks suck and Sony’s proprietary formats do as well. Jay convinces Chuck NOT to buy Blue-Ray…yet, and to get off his ass and get a flat screen already (because after all, it’s for the kids), then wraps with an LCD vs Plasma debate.

Chuck and Jay then discuss the new Max Payne movie, NBC’s new fall schedule, the Love Boat, and the release date of Crystal Skull – then promptly run out of time. Next week Indy, we promise, we hope.

Johnny Lee getting some airplay.

We had mentioned Johnny Lee a few weeks back and he seems to really be getting some recognition these days. (I’m not claiming we had anything to do with it.) He gained quite a bit of notoriety with his Wii hack videos and TED.com now has a new video posted where he gets into some of his concepts. Can’t wait till he gets some funding, I’m sure he’ll be working on my robot slaves or something equally important within the next few years.

To those of us that need our Lost fix.

Pure Genius.. never realized how often this was used in the show. I’m sure this will spawn yet another Lost drinking game.

What?
