Seriously, that’s all I need to know. DAFT PUNK HELLYEAH! Recorded my own ring-tone to Around The World dont’cha know …yeah
According to Upcoming Film Scores, French electronica artists, Daft Punk, have been confirmed by Disney as having been recruited to score the much anticipated film, TRON2.0
If you’re familiar with the enigmatic duo who never show themselves unless dressed up like robots, you’ll know why this is freaking sweet, and if you don’t know them …How can you not dude, seriously, DAFT PUNK!
Daft Punk’s members Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter have been involved in various films before, but Tron 2.0 will be their first complete feature film score. The film, scheduled for a 2011 release, is helmed by Joseph Kosinski and will feature Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde and Beau Garrett.
According to industry news reports, Tron 2.0 will play as the “next chapter” after the first film, with Wilde starring as one of the heroes trying to help fighting the Master Control Program, the evil intelligence protocol that was the nemesis in the 1982 film.
Awesome.
Man, this guy better be in it, and by this guy I mean one of the Internet’s first celebrities, the one, the only, TRON GUY
aka Jay Maynard.
He has his own website for evil intelligence protocol’s sake: TronGuy.net

To celebrate the UK release of “Watchmen,” Paramount Pictures set up an amazing event at London’s River Thames by creating a vertical screen of water using the world’s biggest water screen projector to showcase Dr Manhattan.
This water screen measured an amazing 72-feet high and 100-feet across and was situated between the London Eye and The Shell Building. The event took place lastnight at 8pm GMT.
Paramount had the following to say:
“Specially created, never to be seen again Watchmen footage, will be projected onto the screen to showcase Dr. Manhattan’s translucent and shimmering form in dramatic and gigantic effect – this really will be an excellent and exciting medium to see Dr. Manhattan in all his super human glory; and to watch him hover over the city in true Watchmen style!“
Marking the end of the Chinese New Year, the Lantern Festival takes place on the 15th day of the year – during the first full moon. People across Mainland China and Taiwan celebrate the festival in many colorful ways, from fiery folk traditions to firework displays and laser shows.
Unfortunately, this year’s festival ended on a somewhat sour note as an unauthorized fireworks show set an unoccupied skyscraper on fire in downtown Beijing, and one firefighter “Zhang Jianyong” lost his life fighting the blaze. Collected here are photos of the festival, and a handful from the Mandarin Oriental Hotel fire in Beijing.

Elders of Pingsi – the tradition of releasing lanterns began during the Ching Dynasty when bands of outlaws frequently raided villages around Pingsi, forcing local residents to seek refuge in the mountains – The lanterns signal it’s ok to come out of hiding.

The new China Central Television (CCTV) complex, still under construction, is seen on fire in Beijing. The fire, started inadvertently by an unofficial fireworks display for the LanternFestival staged by CCTV officials.
One person was killed in the fire, firefighter Zhang Jianyong, age 30. He was among the first on the scene and died from smoke inhalation.

Any dreams/nightmares of seeing Nadya Suleman getting her freak on have been shattered, as the OctoMILF has turned-down Vivid’s publicity stunt generous offer:
She jokingly appeared to be wiling to negotiate, saying:
“Maybe in a year when the baby fat goes away. Of course, if I have more kids I may have to ask for $2 million.”
When Suleman stopped joking, though, she rejected the offer.
“Seriously, though, my mum didn’t bring me up like that,”
Suleman is quoted as saying.
“Besides, what will my 14 kids think when they grow up?”
You have chosen… wisely! But seriously 8; I’m sorry 14 kids?! And no Father figure?! Lady… How wise was that?
Odd – There seems to be a theme developing in today’s posts. Octopussy, Blowguard, Dicks on the Dance Floor… But it’s missing something …Yes – How about some Watchmen:
A literal “FUCK YOU!” to the man himself, Alan Moore is it?
Dr. Manhattan huh, does it come in Comedian size? You Merchandising Bastards!
I was just surfing the electric waves when I came across a story about Stephen Chow’s Green Hornet movie. Well Mr Chow has 100% dropped out, which was about the only reason I would go see a Green Hornet movie in the first place. Seth Rogen might make something of the role but I’m still kind of dubious.
Anyway, Director Michel Gondry has been chosen to take over. I wasn’t a fan of Be Kind Rewind that much, but the man has talent. Example:
This is quite possibly the coolest, most important, fake news question I have come across all year — Are Games Preparing Kids for the Apocalypse? — My fake answer is yes. Hell freaking yes.
While the reporters couldn’t come to a consensus on the necessary extent of preparation, they agreed that the games are in fact addressing our basic future needs [such as collecting morning dew in human skulls, and how to find a med kit to heal zombie bites]. The video is a must-view for any parents concerned about the effects of violence on their children, and whether or not that violence will sufficiently and accurately train them for the inevitable End of Days. ~ The Onion
Octopussy huh, has a nice ring to it. But how about Debitwhore Millionaire? That’s right I said it, now pay me!
Just when you thought this ‘Octomom’ thing couldn’t get any more f**ked up, this happens: Vivid Entertainment, one of the largest porn distributors in the world, has now offered Nadya Suleman, aka ‘Octomom’, $1 million to star in an adult movie.
The offer comes after Suleman gave birth to octuplets following in vitro fertilization. But with six other children already straining her bank account, the family now faces losing their home.
To add incentive to their deal, Vivid has also included one year of health insurance to Suleman and her family if she agrees to sign on as a Vivid contract girl.
“There is a tremendous amount of interest in Nadya and we can help her capitalize on that interest and put some real cash in her bank account,” said Hirsch. As with our Vivid Girls, she would have her choice of partners, including ‘Octodad.'”
Have you seen [REC] yet? Dude… I wish I had seen it when it premiered here at our July FilmFestival’08. Go rent this movie out, and stay away from its American equivalent “Quarentine” until you do.
Anyway, Spanish creators Jaume Balaguero and Paco Plaza have been hard at work on a sequel for some time and apparently the first teaser for [REC]2 will be shown before Spanish screenings of Slumdog Millionaire.
The film apparently starts a few hours after the end of the first film but that’s all that is known about the film’s storyline.
There have been many Christian Bale spoofs, but this Family Guy mashup takes the cake with Peter Griffin serving as the perfect target for Christian. And you thought I had missed the Bale train:
