I was pretty happy with my purchase of the director's cut of Watchmen. The few added scenes was well worth the purchase in my humble opinion. Still, the rumored inclusion of Tales of the Black Freighter, as well as Hollis Mason's Under the Hood documentary was absent. This brings us to the upcoming release of Watchmen: The Ultimate Cut, alerted to me via a Cinematical article. I usually agree with Elisabeth Rappe; however, in this case I have to say that I disagree with her assessment and would like to own the new version. I do hate how planned the commercialism is of these special editions and whatnot to suck as much money from the fan base as economically possible are. Still, to me, the director's cut was just the copy to calm the anticipation to what I figured would be some kind of anniversary release. Anyhow here is a link to the item's Amazon page. Variety reported today that Stephanie Meyer's non-Twilight novel, The Host, has been put into motion for a big screen adaptation. I know absolutely nothing about The Host, but the article also mentions that Gattaca's Andrew Niccol will write and direct, so it already has a leg up on the Twilight series thus far.
IWatchStuff has a sample of Daft Punk's bitching theme for Tron Legacy, check it out.
IWatchStuff also pointed me in the direction of the Stan Helsing trailer earlier, which is for all purposes of understanding the atrociousness of the film, is Scary Movie's take on Van Helsing. The article attempts to explain exactly how appalling the movie looks, but it really is no comparison. The one thing I don't understand is why Kenan Thompson is in a poorly done Superman costume. I forced my fiancé to partake in the displeasure, and she suggested a possible reprisal of Superdude, the lactose intolerant Thompson character from All That. *sigh* If nothing else, a piece of nostalgia, that could have actually been provoked without watching the following clip. Still, you almost have to, right?
