The double standard against sex and for violence in the United States, as if you needed any further confirmation, is alive and well.
Or, as they put it in the South Park movie, graphic deplorable violence is okay as long as nobody says any bad words.

Remember how Brütal Legend doesn’t have a publisher after Activision dropped a whole bunch of titles? Variety claims to have spoken to sources that say the publisher is still jerking Double Fine around, even though they won’t publish the game.
I spoke to some sources on the Double Fine side and they said the problem isn’t that other publishers aren’t interested. They say it’s that Activision Blizzard has been “an impediment” and that they’re “blocking the process.”

NFC EAST (Preseason pick)
Midway pick- With its injuries, it doesn’t seem like Dallas is going to be the force it ought to have been. Washington has a good team, as does Philadelphia, but New York will stay on top throughout the season. Their defense MAY be better than last year’s. I’ll take the Giants.

Whatever happened to Madonna and Guy Ritchie? It seems like only yesterday he was casting her in his BMW short film as an unbearably stuck-up diva. (Hmmm…) But, as you’ve heard, the couple is getting a divorce. 
Why, oh why, couldn’t they keep the fire alive?
Well, there are a lot of reasons why. As with any relationship, there were a lot of complicated nuances - like the fact that Madonna drew up a “marriage contract” based on the principles of Kabbalah, which, and I am honestly not trying to be judgmental here, is one of those nutty celebrity religions. According to The Sun: Read more…

AFC EAST (Preseason pick)
Midway pick- I’ll go with Buffalo. The Bills have beaten several decent teams (San Diego, Jacksonville, St. Louis) but have loss to several decent teams (Arizona and Miami). If they can win two of three against NYJ, Buffalo and Cleveland, they’ll be in good shape with two free squares on their bingo chart against against KC and SF.

As you (should) know, Bond 22, Quantum of Solace, is coming out this November 14th. In honor of this momentous occasion, I have decided to spend a little time each week digging into my James Bond DVD 
collection and talking about the best and worst of the series up until now. I also like to compare the movies to the source material, when it exists. I find all of this very entertaining, but if you don’t, the scroll button is still right over there. >>>>>
If you would enjoy seeing James Bond dressed as a clown, then Octopussy is the movie for you.

No, they’re down. No, they’re up again!
LittleBigPlanet went on sale two days ago to glowing reviews, but a vital component of the game, the online servers that let people share their level creations, were out to lunch.

There are times in this business when even I can’t make head nor tail out of what’s going on.
There are times when what Hollywood decides to do next resembles some kind of master plan straight out of its own work. Some days, it’s enough to make you wonder if the inmates truly ARE running the asylum.

“For Your Eyes Only” has one of the strangest opening title sequences of any film, ever. It certainly wins the prize for Bond movies. While standing at his wife’s grave, something that hasn’t been referenced through the entire Roger Moore as Bond canon, he is picked up my a remotely-controlled helicopter. Controlled by Blofeld. But we can’t see his face, because none of the previous Blofelds showed up, I guess. He’s in a motorized wheelchair this time, and Bond drops him down a smokestack while he vainly promises to give Bond “a delicatessan in stainless steel.”

Saint’s Row 2 is the trashy, lowbrow game that everyone thinks Grand Theft Auto is.
Not that Grand Theft Auto hasn’t been trashy and lowbrow at times. But that franchise has been trying to grow up and go legit, while Saint’s Row wallows in the crass. This has some upsides and downsides.
