Entertainment

Is Joss Whedon really in line to direct THE AVENGERS? If so, expect the Wasp to be the one doing all of the actual cool action stuff while the guys need to be saved, and everybody will talk in quips. Sounds like a bad fit to me. (And I say this as somebody who loved FIREFLY and liked the second season of DOLLHOUSE.)

It's a new A-TEAM movie trailer (no, really). Wow, this looks more like a parody than an actual movie.

Brosnan on his boozy night with Tarantino and CASINO ROYALE. At one point CASINO ROYALE was suppopsed to be a fifth Brosnan Bond movie, and Tarantino was in the running to direct (and write?) it.

Video Games

New PORTAL 2 concept art. Go look.

Cliff Bleszinski's next game debuting on Jimmy Fallon's show next Thursday. Will it be GEARS OF WAR 3?

Stealth will be "something you want to use" in SPLINTER CELL. For my first play through I plan to kill anybody in my way if I can't sneak past them. Later play-throughs I plan to go for a 100% stealth approach.

The Rest

Comcast rolls out broadband meters coast to coast. This is something they should have had in place before they announced the cap. The fact they they're just rolling it out now is laughable. Also, my state isn't listed as one of the ones where the meter is available.

Torrent site sends condoms to MPAA in serious April Fools' message. That's great!

Sony Pictures CEO threatens to stop selling DVDs in Spain. So basically, what they're doing is creating a market where the only way to get the stuff Sony is trying to sell is to pirate it? Brilliant business move!
