Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe!

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe

While competing franchise Soul Calibur roped in Yoda and Darth Vader and roster, Mortal Kombat has decided to go extreme by tying in with none other than the DC Universe itself. While this was supposedly rumoured to be in the past, fansite Mortal Kombat Online has hard facts on this, as well as the poster you see above.

Amusingly, the site mentioned on the poster appears to be dead as of this writing.

In my “Favourite Movies” list, I always dutifully add “Ghost in the Shell”, because it is that good a movie. It is also the prime example I give to the sort of people to judge animation movies incapable to telling serious, intelligent stories. Ghost in the Shell is a work of art, a cinematic masterpiece, no less.

Brazil bans Rockstar’s Bully

Brazil Bully

Rockstar Games, famous for juggling controversy and bans has just received yet another ban to its name. This time it’s Brazil, who have banned Bully. While the game escapes with an easy T rating from the ESRB, the Brazilian judge responsible for the banning claims that it is far too violent for children and teenagers, especially considering it is set in and all about a school.

As of this writing, Rockstar was unavailable for comment (their spokesman supposedly didn’t know of the ban)

There you go. After weeks of bitter fighting to get its beloved Manhunt 2 unbanned from the United Kingdom, Rocksar got its Bully banned in Brazil. Wonderful.

Michael Bay, Eli Roth respond to Uwe Boll; can get ugly

A summary of what’s going on

Uwe Boll’s hateful video that faced heavy YouTube competition from teenage rants has apparently not gone very unnoticed. Michael Bay responded on his official forum, saying:

I find people who rant like that – calling shit about both me, and George Clooney – comes from someone screaming because he is not being heard. He is obviously a sad being.

When you ask “do I care”? Not in the slightest.

M

Eli Roth, also insulted by Boll has supposedly responded saying that it was the “greatest compliment ever”. No news available about George Clooney, also insulted in a German accent.

When will this war of words between Hollywood’s most annoying directors end?!
