I love all the great new stuff Comic Con brings us each year…
Or, if you prefer, Samurai Cat The Movie; either way, a nice bit of silliness. Now I am just waiting for a Ninja Cat film to come attack them, to give it that true historical perspective. When the Japan Society in New York had a screening of this last year, they followed it up with the Edo Cat Party, and threw in free admission to their Life of Cats Exhibition. Sadly, I haven’t found this movie yet at any of my streaming services, although it looks like Netflix did have a license to stream it last year. But I still have more to search, including Funimation, Viz, and Daisuke, so there is still hope I might stumble across it.
Genius and Scam Artist, Visionary and IP Thief (he lead the way; Bill Gates came in a poor second, and had to steal from him what he had stolen from Park Xerox), Steve Jobs was one of a small handful of people who changed the world while I watched. I won’t know until I see it, but I have hopes this movie might be as entertaining as Pirates of Silicon Valley, another film that covered the same topic. I look forward to watching this new iteration of the story when it hits the big screen on October 9th.
This interview with Tim Curry happened just a few days after the original release of the Rocky Horror Picture Show back in 1975, and he did have quite a few interesting things to say about the show. If he did another interview that covered this range of details, I never heard of it. If you are a Rocky Horror fan, you need to watch this all the way through.
in 2016 we get to return to the world of KUNG FU PANDA with the third animated adventure. In this one, we learn a bit more about Po’s history, and get to meet his long lost father. And then we get to watch him bust his chops to train all of his new found relatives into defending themselves, their friends, and their way of life. This will NOT be his easiest adventure!
There is no doubt that the winner this week is Minions, and finally we get to see the back story of the real stars of the series. Not that Gru and the girls aren’t amazing in their own right, but the little yellow guys are really at the core of the whole thing. It may be the best option this weekend (at least for those of us addicted to the terminally silly), but it isn’t our only one. The other choice is Self/less, about an old guy who wants to live forever. So he has his consciousness transferred into a younger body, without first doing his due diligence to determine what baggage that body brings along with it. That oversight leads to things he never suspected would be brought into the mix, and now his ability to survive the experience is at risk, along with his chances to create a new life; not the same thing at all, but certainly related.
