Entertainment

The late night war reaches its boiling point: all the clips you missed. A nice compilation of all the sillyness. (Thanks to my friend Chris for emailing me this.)

NBC's talk show wars seen as PR disaster for all. If Leno gets THE TONIGHT SHOW back, I hope the stink from this kills off his inexplicably long career.

DOLLHOUSE gives us the happy ending we deserve. Wow, when you poke holes in the logic of the big reveal on DOLLHOUSE, it really doesn't work, does it? I still think the show is far better than it was in season one, but if you look at it, they clearly rushed to provide an ending knowing cancellation was coming.

Universal flipper Blu-ray disc test run. I'm not wild about flipper discs, but I wholeheartedly support having the regular DVD as an extra with Blu-rays rather than a useless digital copy.

THE CRAZIES movie trailer #3. Even though it's a remake, this looks like it's going to be really good.

Lionsgate likely to pick up TERMINATOR rights. Bah.

Bomb scare at DC Comics. Guess the Joker was in town.

V.I.N.Cent Gets A Tron Makeover. The BLACK HOLE is the first movie I can remember seeing. So I've got a soft spot for it.

News briefs: DOLLHOUSE finale bumped; Obama loves AVATAR. I wondered why the next episode preview last night said "in two weeks".

Video Games

First BIOSHOCK 2 reviews are in, over 90%. I want to do my pre-order, but I'm still waffling back and forth on if I'm getting it for the Playstation 3 (probably) or Xbox 360. On one hand, with the PS3 I'm not living in constant fear of buying a new game, popping it in and getting the RROD. Plus I would like to expand my PS3 library a bit. On the other hand, I find the 360's controller slightly better for FPS games than the PS3's. (Both are inferior to mouse and keyboard for FPS though.)

Alan Wake & the case of the murderous midnight tractor. Some new screenshots.

Capcom unleashes RE5: GOLD EDITION trailer, box art. I wonder how long the two new missions are, and if they justify the cost of getting the game again (on a different console)?


Sam Fisher off his leash and in this new SPLINTER CELL trailer.

KANE & LYNCH 2 – your questions answered. And have some screenshots (KANE & LYNCH 2 – 13 new shots) with it as well.

Here's two previews as well... KANE & LYNCH 2: DOG DAYS: Eyes-on with the best worst camera ever and Preview: KANE & LYNCH 2: DOG DAYS

Exploring the 'physical action/reaction' of HEAVY RAIN. This sounds like a really different style of gameplay.

No loss of “freedom” after Eidos-Square Enix takeover, says IO

Yarr!

Adding up the explanations for ACTA's "shameful secret". It's secret because people are going to be pissed when this garbage is passed.

RIAA digital music price-fixing case reinstated. Judges note, among other things, that record labels didn’t dramatically lower their prices for online music as compared to physical CDs despite the fact that they “experienced dramatic cost reductions in producing” it. Good to see this happening.
