Judge Urban

Well my hopes for a CGI  Clint Eastwood were dashed at  this years Comic Con ,still at least Karl Urban knows the character seeing as he read 2000ad (more widely known in Australia and New Zealand  than say the USA ) Hope he does old Stoney face credit (he's a bit handsome for Dreddy , mind you his Bones in Star Trek film was good)maybe he's actually playing Judge Bruce and this all a red herring lol  Seems like the film will be like  film is Die Hard meets Blade Runner .according to reports . I was hoping for a story along the lines of Origins or the Cursed Earth saga(which describes how Mega City came about and how the Judges came to power would be a good introduction to the vast majority of people unfamiliar with  the character )but if it going to be Blade Runneresque and truer to the comic(The Stallone pic turned into the 1970's  Flash Gordon with it's flying bikes -Fergie wasn't a 8 foot Baseball  wielding simpleton and the uniform was all wrong ..I could go on ) but here's hoping Mr Urban can turn Dreddy into a movie franchise worthy of the comic.. just found this very interesting blog which gives lowdown on film  as it's in production http://www.judgedreddmovienews.com/  ..pity about the swear words though I'd  rather have future swear words like Drokk It and Grud on a Greenie,  language changes everyday I think an audience would accept that rather than yet another movie with tourette's syndrome.. but cool that it's going to be more faithful than the 1995  movie .. And I wonder who will play Anderson she should be an intriguing character if they get her right. .

Young Boba


two episodes featuring a young Master Fett (In fact Daniel Logan who played Boba in Attack of the Clones is  23 now how  time flies .. I wonder how the new Live action TV show is going , I'm hoping for a Once Upon a Time in Space Sergio Leonne meets Blade Runner meets original Trilogy  type of shows .. Concerning Bounty Hunters and Pirates ..we'll have to wait and see.. I have a theory about Boba Fett .. that there are two of him .. The Clone that was created on Kamino and a real one that was born during the Mandalorian civil war .. Perhaps Jango was separated from him and his mother after been captured and believes them dead .. hence wanting a clone son who he names after his original kid .. seems a unusual request  so perhaps those are the reasons (Wouldn't mind writing and drawing a story about it .. but right now I'm working on three projects at once but If I were to do this gives me license to feature a fully grown Boba Fett fighting in the Clone Wars and the period afterwards seeing as he would be born 20 years or so before the Clone Boba .. just an idea at the moment .. but it would make sense I mean he is the most Notourious Bounty Hunter in the galaxy and its a big Galaxy perhaps the reason is that there are two of him..)

John Marston the Man from Blackwater

Just completed story mode of Red Dead Redemption(but theres still heaps to do out west once stories over )found this today on youtube a 20+ minute Machiniima  film made up of a few cutscenes from the game .. this is just a drop in the ocean believe you me, the games an epic saga .. really there should be sequel featuring Johns son fighting in the trenchs in WW1  that would make a good follow up , playing the scenes fighting the Rebels in Mexico got me thinking about about that ..there's plenty of WW2 shooters but no WW1 shooters if handled with sensitivity with a dash of trench humor I reckon Rockstar could pull it off  correctly..

The Battle of Britain


Seeing as today marks the beginning of the Battle if Britain (which occurred in the very skies above me seeing as I'm from the Kent coast) thought I'd post these videos today.

Red Dead Revolver Part 1

Seeing as I'm serializing GTA may as well also feature the first Red Dead game Revolver , which as a Western fan ticked all the boxes for me when it came out (best soundtrack on a game ever too ..see my Western playlist to hear what I mean ) I'm currently enjoying Redemption at the moment ..Great characters .. I think Irish is my favourite so far .. there's lots of talk that the character is a racist stereotype but bollocks to that , there's drunks of all nationalities , there's a fantastic line in the story where Irish states *God only created Whiskey to stop the Irish Conquering the world " .. a great wise fool I find the character endearing not a racist sterotype .. Red Dead Revolver Man! .. was a classic .. I feel it's actually more brutal than Redemption at the moment ,right now on Redemption I've entered Mexico and caught up in the revolution , Rockstar San Diego really know what there doing .. really hope there's more of this to come..

Liberty City Stories Part 1

Another Classic from GTA series I'd like to serialise .seeing as I'm stuck in Liberty City myself  playing GTA4..and I'm  very impressed gotta play Lost and the Damned and Ballad of Gay Tony soon as I complete this one   .. Rockstar Games are up there with The Pistols, MC5 and the Stooges .. and the great games keep on coming ..Red Dead Redemption  for example ..fantastic escapism that also makes you think too .. that's what it's all about.. always a great story and always funny..in a sick way but funny in a Joe Pesci  as Tommy in Goodfellas manner .

Games of the Decade -GTA Vice City part 6

Been a while since I posted these cutscenes .. but seeing as I'm at last playing GTA4 thought I'd post this stories Grand Finale .. (wonder if there's any truth in the rumors about GTA series returning to Vice City for it's next title.. time will tell.. next up Liberty City Stories if I can find the Cut Scenes online somewhere
