The expo is finally over. All the producers and designers can breathe a sigh of relief and get back to making games instead of pimping them. All in all I felt, as an outside observer, that the show left me slightly wanting. There was no groundbreaking news, no giant promises, and no real blockbuster game announced that we didn’t already know about.
The Nintendo Talk
Nintendo is about making cash. Which isn’t a bad thing. Unless you’re a serious hardcore Nintendo gamer fan boy who wishes they’d remake Zombie’s At My Neighbors for the Wii.I wouldn’t say they are done with hardcore games altogether, but the order of the day is definitely casual stuff, and their talk certainly said that. They did introduce some new hardware for the Wiimote that promised more accurate movement…and then used it to throw a Frisbee to a dog in Wii Sports 2. Read More »
This 28-year-old slavic sizzler started her career as a model, after being scouted on a Russian beach at age 13. After relocating to France, Olga made the move to the sliver screen, receiving the certificate of excellence award at the 2006 Brooklyn International Film Festival for her performance in the French film, *L’Annulaire.* Most recently, she co-started in Hitman, and will be the latest Bond girl in the new 007 flick, Quantum of Solace. Check out the brand new trailer here! [Props to our friends at GorillaMask.net for that one.]

Slashfilm recently featured a video that compared Michel Gondry’s new film Be Kind Rewind to The Amanda Show, which aired on Nickelodeon eight years ago. While the concepts are indeed similar, it’s commonplace for these kind of coincidences to happen in entertainment…right?
The Amanda Show clip:

Part 1 - 10 minute trailer
Part 2
Look, I understand why people are sick of hearing Judd Apatow’s name every second. Nonetheless, check the record: Knocked Up was almost perfect (too long, and the DVD extended it!), Superbad was a riot for the most part and Walk Hard will at least be a great watch with funny cameos. That’s hardly a reason to bitch. Place your statements about overrated director/producers elsewhere.
Give these guys credit. What other comedy stable lets every player star in a lead role?
Jason Segel is next up to bat with Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which deals with Apatow’s favorite subject: well-meaning emotional dudes that still f*** up once a while (or all the time).
Segel plays your average funny schmuck that gets dumped by his celeb girlfriend. He takes a vacation to Hawaii to “get away,” and ends up finding his ex cuddling up with her new boyfriend, a “rock star” along the lines of Dave Navarro mixed with the Pick-Up Artist for comedic measure.
It could be worse: Dane Cook could be writing his latest atrocity as we speak. Be thankful.
