I’m sure by now, you’ve been masochistic enough to sit through a trailer for this summer’s Eddie Murphy abortion shitfest crap-in-a-sack film Meet Dave.

If you haven’t heard about it yet, here’s the plot in a nutshell…

A group of tiny aliens, lead by one played by Eddie Murphy, pilot a human body replica….that looks like Eddie Murphy.

Yes, Eddie Murphy piloting Eddie Murphy.

And if that wasn’t enough to sell you, 20th Century Fox is staging a promotional stunt of a lifetime…

THE EDDIE MURPHY GIANT HEAD TOUR!

Seriously, look at that thing!

The giant head of the fallen comedic star will be spreading it’s hate across America, before arriving in Times Square. Where it will be presumably be beaten by hispanic children, which mistake it as a pinata.

Seriously, Eddie…couldn’t you have called it a career after Norbit?

Thanks to Onion’s AV Club for insuring future nightmares.

Astro Boy’s Got Some Pipes On Him!

Wow, I guess the long dormant Astro Boy movie is further along than I anticipated.

IMAGI Studios (they who did the pretty-but-dumb TMNT movie last year) announced the official voice cast for Astro Boy, which is apparently ready for release next year.

Wow, I had no idea. I thought it was still stuck in development hell over at Sony.

Anywho, the voice cast includes Nicolas Cage, Donald Sutherland, Nathan Lane, Bill Nighy and Eugene Levy, along with Freddie Highmore voicing the celestial robot child.

I do wonder…after the failure of Speed Racer, does Astro Boy stand a chance?

Thanks to Blog@Newsarama for the details.

I guess we’re all really excited about Two-Face appearing in The Dark Knight.

At least, that’s what my hits and the cease and decist notice from Warner Brothers tells me.

Anywho, I suppose you want to see him in action?

Thanks, Dark Knight ARG, for making this ALL possible!

Videogame Leak-A-Thon!

This is why you secure your websites, kids.

Thanks to an unsolicited marketing survey e-mail, and then in turn, their site having really poor security, a metric ton of forthcoming game information leaked, just weeks before mid-July’s E3 conference (where all the big companies drop info for the next year+).

Amongst the juicy tidbits found?

  • Microsoft will be adapting Nintendo’s popular “Mii” program, with their own user creations titled “Avatars” (seen above).
  • Guitar Hero IV will retail for $180 (with new touch senstive guitar and drum kit), and feature Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Foo Fighters, Smashing Pumpkins, Korn, System of a Down, Ozzy Osbourne, Interpol, and Muse amongst the artists.
  • Future Marvel titles in the pipeline: Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 (set during the CIVIL WAR storyline), Spider-Man vs. Marvel Zombies (self explanatory, I feel), and an untitled Wii Spider-Man game using the Wii Fit Balance Board.

In addition, details were found about future Tony Hawk installments, the next Transformers game, and a karaoke title for the 360 currently titled Lips.

For all the details, check out the thread where all this originated, over at the NeoGAF Forums.
