transformers 2: TV spots and new bot!

and i made a rhyme on the headline there. well, three tv spots to show just how awesome Transformers 2 is gonna be. more footage of robots. more explosions. more transforming. no bitchslapping optimus prime. maybe from the previous two trailers, he will only just be tossed around twice. well, i guess, thats a good record as any for a robotic leader.

"In Transformers lore, Sideways is a gleeful troublemaker, for whom chaos is its own reward. His every action misleads and deceives, be it for his own twisted amusement, or for whatever deeper agenda he may be working towards. In truth, this cunning and deadly warrior is an agent of the chaos-bringer, Unicron, and is charged with the task of appearing as both Autobot and Decepticon in order to cause confusion amongst both factions and prevent them from allying together against his planet-eating master.

In Revenge of the Fallen, Sideways will appear as an Audi R8. His role in the story is still not completely known, but the first trailer showed him being chased through a building wall by various Autobots, so the potential for some double-agent action is still out there. Have a look at his robot mode below, courtesy of Michael Bay."



i love quotation marks. it gives me so much reason to be lazy. but i just think that its time that theres the antihero robot. like the Dinobot from the Beast Wars series (the only transformers series i know and come to love.)

G I Joe: new trailer!

a newer longer trailer from what i posted in the comic book trailers section.
it shows what seem to be a totally cool and fun movie. i was never a fan of this and have always regard GIJoe to be lame to the max. but i guess, this movie could make me change my mind.
i kinda like the Cgi used. though it does look a little 90s. and casting wise, theres no1 i really like to see except dennis quaid. i hope he gets to kick some ass in his fat cat suit. and looks like, someone got sloppy and stole the title animation from a certain movie featuring robotic transportations.

i still find the two hopping guys to be totally rad. i wan an accelerator too!

Transformers 2: the TRAILER!

the new (okay, 2-3 weeks old) trailer. its freaking awesome and features MEGATRON!!!

megan fox is hot as ever. and i hope the picture above made u pause the video at i dunno.. 0:28 seconds? HAH! got ya!

u can again see optimus prime and sam whitwicky get their ass handed to them. so awesome. looks to have much more complicated fight scenes. hopefully, more contrast between the autobots and decepticons.

ah! comic movies of the year are coming to an end. and we are left with few options. but this looks to be better than the first one. so shall just look forward to this now that terminator's a disappointment. ah well..

GNB Comics: opening sale!

i copy and paste:

We will do US$1 for S$1 TP SALE for the first 3 days from
1st June to 3rd June
No Reservations/ No extension

We will do the TP Sale again due to popular demand as too many people wanted the DC range which was not shifted in time to the new place for FCBD 2009.
We have since restock all our TPs.

"It has been a good ten years with lots of fun and memories with you guys.
We will not want to move if we have a choice but the lease has expired and the owner ( next door) wants it back to expand their sports and music business linking a full chain from front to back.
Many people thought it was a rental issue but money was not involved in the negotiations. It was simply they want it back to expand their business.

We really had lots of fun and memories and events but it was not because of Bras Basah Complex that made us what we are today.
Its the people. Yes its you who made GnB Comics vibrant and fun.
Its you who made the trip down for our weekly shipment.
Please continue to support us in the new place as you have did in the past.

We are Very happy to host more events this year. We had a successful Watchmen Movie night and FCBD 2009.
We are really looking forward to our comic convention in August and our guests of honour Brian Bolland and Tan Eng Huat.
We will continue to hold more events so do support us.

For our area, it was either the new nearby shopping malls with smaller area and higher costs but better business or HDB with lower overheads but bigger and more cosy and we can pass on the savings to our valued members.
Plus we have the privacy and freedom to host our own events.

We decided for Rochor

Rochor Center
We decided on Rochor Center as it is very near the MRT compared to othe places. It is just next to the Rochor Exit of Bugis MRT.
Parking is ample but there are normal workday and Saturday congestions from 12-3 pm.
Traffic is normal for other times .
We are Located just outside the ERP gantry and we are happy to be able to help our customers save on the ERP charges.

Its the place where we can afford a bigger and more cosy place for our members

We hope you, especially those who came down on FCBD2009 for the preview likes it."

3 whole freaking days of 1 US for 1 SG Dollar?!?!! gawd! i freaking love this store. i m so not regretting signing up for membership on FCBD (which i shall post on another time). i m sooo gonna save up to dump all my cash on this day. be sure to drop by and grab as much things as you can, this is by far the cheapest new graphic novels can go. (that i know of anyway.)

anyways, i dig the message sent by them. so i m attaching it along with this post. all the best, G n B!

movie Review: star trek again?

i really love the details on this film. from the vibrating floor bass everytime the enterprise appears. the scene where the lady screams are drowned out in space. so beautiful. kirk's rebellious nature in getting rid of the evidence. so cool! sulu and scotty! so funny! spock's presence! so awesome! Spock is the coolest douche i'll ever know. i rightfully relieve myself of that status. i even have a spock version of me on my facebook now. so awesome.

second times the charm. i really got to listen to every word of the dialog this time. where i missed the first time, hell no m i gonna miss it the second time. caught it with my girl but i guess, it just didnt take to her. she couldnt deny the movie was awesome. the cast, the special effects, the cgi, the alternate reality creating plot. but still, she just couldnt give it the 10 stars it so rightfully deserves. all she had to offer was an average 7.8. BAH!

i ve been hearing lotsa people boycotting this film citing reasons such as its a "star" film. like seriously, its a great film. its a reboot. why should you be concerned? go out there and catch it. dont catch it if 1) you are a foreigner whose main language isnt english, 2) are cheena enough to go catch this since you are already at the cinema and its either this or fireball. and the reviews for fireball are lamer than the title.

there was this cheena dude who was like sms-ing throughout the movie. so distracting. he looked so stoned. i guess he just didnt have a freaking clue as to why space ships can suddenly disappear into the stars with a whoosh! what a prick!

caught it at cathay once more at a decent size theatre. and i cried again while watching the starting scene where the dad says i love you just before he make like a canonball and explodes into a million pieces. so sad. this film is that good.

so basically, if you havent catch this, go do so. its cinema run is dying. there was only three timeslots at cathay today. and next week will definitely be flooded with monsters vs aliens and terminator ( which reviews all suck and is such a huge disappointment for me). if you have, go catch it again if you can. its just 6 bucks on a weekday with the ever handy, NEBO card. go sign up if you havent. no linking here as its not comic related.

live long and suck it!

STGCC 09: awesome famous people!

for this year's lineup, we have:

Gary Baseman


kooky artist. and my 1st known work from him is: Teacher's Pet!
i had no idea that this cartoon was created by him and several years after watching the loony show, i chanced upon baseman's works only to always have a voice in my head saying: dognabbit! i m sure i have seen this crap somewhere!


Joe Ledbetter


i seriously dig this guys art! its breathtaking geometric beauty is one to make mike mignola depressed. basically, i love geometrical line art. and this is just superb! therefore, me shall go and make a point to get something from him to have it signed! SWOON SWOON!!!


Tan Eng Huat


loved the linework on his silversurfer run. and thats all i know from the guy. but he's also the winner of the 2002 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards (USA) for Russ Manning Promising Newcomer and 2002 National Comic Awards (USA) for Best New Talent. He was also nominated for the 2004 Harvey Award (USA) for The Best Penciller / Inker and 2002 Comics International Award (USA) for the Best New Talent. and he's malaysian.

Brian Bolland


the legendary artist is coming this hellish island (yes, the temperature is getting to me too). Brian Bolland of the Killing Joke and Camelot 3000 fame is gonna sign me some goodies. but i dunnno wad do i wanna get to get signed! i could get the killing joke, but i ve read it already. then i could get teh camelot 3000 deluxe edition but they say the printing quality sucks. i wouldnt mind getting him to sign his tank girl cover. but i dont have that book and the remastered edition is dunno when gonna come out. so dilemma. dilemma.

movie Review: trekking the stars and beyond

this is the best thing to come out for 2009! comics have two main sub groups: suoerheroes, and sci-fi. and if dark knight is the standard for the superhero genre. Star trek is most definitely the one for sci-fi fans.

i dont care who you are and what your preferences are. Be it a longtime trekkie, or a newbie. a star wars die hard or someone who just doesnt give a rats ass about anything to do with space and movies with the words: stars / galactica / babylon. this shit is one to catch!

awesome performances by the entire cast! there was hardly a flaw in the entire movie. i just merely found saturn to be kinda fake. but maybe thats how saturn is really supposed to look like. i mean, have you seen saturn from that angle? if you have, you probably have no idea where to draw the line between your world of unicorns and the world of ERP. basic gist of the plot is about time travel and the space-time continuum. and i too was concerned about whether i would make heads or tails of JJ's latest. but basically, you have the whole movie revolving around this so you pretty much wont get lost.

things i LOVEEEE: the details that goes into the direction, the lens flare and stuff. the cast: harold as sulu, simon pegg as the hilarious scotty. the awesome dialog. the references to the original tv series. so beautiful! i so wanna watch this again!

i caught this one over at the grand cathay over the weekend. and it was a grand experience for me and me maties. seeing the curtains part was a delicious appetizer before getting the main course.

and now we wait for transformers 2 and terminator 4.

Movie Review: a mutant pool, deadpool?

so many corny lines in the movie on how they try to justify the codenames for the characters. caught this one yesterday over at the plaza sing. its kinda stinky that the entire cathay organisation doesnt screen this. so cant catch this bugger at the cathay, if u didnt know by now, my fav cinema.

Wolverine origins is a cut n paste job on years developing the character. even the wolverine kid and the logan as a nickname was only recently written cause wolverine was always meant to have a mysterious past. and you can see Frank Miller's run on the character with the line "i m the best at what i do. but what i do isnt very nice". sucky thing is now that sabretooth is his brother. and how can they say it ties nicely with the other x men movies when suddenly the sabretooth in the x men movie is nothing more than a douche? sure gavin hood is an award winning director picked by hugh jackman. but the lack of detail also kinda pissed me off. like, the part where weapon XI laser rips out the entire nuclear reactor they are standing on, the blast somwhow fails to penetrate through the others though it makes contact. and i didnt like emma frost. shes the hottie who is the white queen and replaces jean grey's spot in cyclops heart. so why is she so ugly? i like the little tidbit that there was a minor team up between her and cyclops. but the diamond effect is so fugly!

deadpool was hilarious and awesome is what ever short time he had on screen. notice how i said deadpool and not weapon XI bullshit. it started out okay and it all went to hell towards the end. wolverine or x men 3? i m not sure which is better. on 1 hand you have brett ratner and on the other, you have this pile of action crap. and yes, i saw all the glitchy scenes which you have claws on wolverine's hand on one scene and in the next, its gone. LOL! it really is sucky. and looks like my wait for the paying cgi enhanced version is worth it afterall. nevertheless, i just hope that the next wolverine sequel (which is highly possible) wil be much better without the messy display of random mutants.

oh yeah, and theres two version of endings after the movie. in between the credits, you get wiliam stryker following silverfox's command. and WAIT till after the credits roll for: Wolverine in a Jap Bar! or Deadpool stil alive and TALKING! wahahah! classic. too bad i got to see the wolverine version. Seeing deadpool on the big screen is deffinitely so much better. and i m not sure if singapore's other theatres show the deadpool version and i m not looking forward to enduring another 2 hours just to check. so heres the bad qulaity video of the deadpool ending:



and after THIS, it has been confirmed!
Deadpool will be getting his own movie! thats the best thing to come out from this movie i guess.

Marvel.com has this to say:

he newly confirmed Deadpool film, which would be produced by Lauren Shuler Donner and Marvel, has Ryan Reynolds slated to star and would be a complete exploration of the character - his origins, his emergence as the Merc with the Mouth, and more!

overall:
