Punch-Out Wii! Dated!
So, apparently, Nintendo announced a whole bunch of game releases today for the DS and Wii.
In the interest of making your internet life easier, I’ll cut to the chase.
Punch-Out!! Wii. May 18th.
Awesome.
Click the post for more releases, but really, that’s all you needed to know.

Nick Fury: On Lock Down.
Rumors got pretty ugly earlier this year, when apparently, Samuel L. Jackson told the press that he was not going to be appearing as Nick Fury in Iron Man 2 due to Marvel being a bit…stingy with the cash.
This was seemingly underlined with Marvel Film’s reported offer of $250,000 to Oscar Best Actor-nom and guy with weird face, Mickey Rourke.
It started to look grim for the young Marvel Films, what with the Terrance Howard controversy and now these rumors of bizarre frugality.
Never the less, we can rest somewhat easy, as today Marvel Films announced a “long-term commitment” for Samuel L. Jackson to play Nick Fury in not one, not two but NINE separate films!
As someone who very much enjoys the joined continuity of these latest Marvel flicks, I think this might be the best decision they made since signing Downey to Iron Man a few years back. Solid work, gang.
Jackson is Marvel’s main man – Entertainment News, Film News, Media – Variety.
Roxy Richter? …Her?
More fun from the Scott Pilgrim set, as today we get a peak at Mae Whitman as Roxy Richter, the Evil Ex-Girlfriend/Ninja. If she looks psuedo familiar, you may be remembering her as Ann Veal from Arrested Development. Ann Veal was the girlfriend to George Michael Bluth, who was played by Michael Cera who stars as Scott Pilgrim in this film….KEVIN BACON.
Sorry, but if you’ve been following this site, you can see why I’m excited. It’s a sort of nerdy equation…
Arrested Development + Scott Pilgrim x Edgar Wright/Comic Adaptation = Nerdgasm.
You’ll also note, that Edgar Wright’s blog has moved from MySpace (thank god) to his own site, EdgarWrightHere.com
It’s a fun read as always, but don’t worry, if important pics show, I’ll blog them.

GREEN HORNET Finds A Director! Again!
Hey, remember a few years back, when we heard Kevin Smith was writing Green Hornet we were all like: Eh?
And then Smith left, and we heard that Seth Rogen was going to be donning the green mask, we were all like: Guh?
And then Stephen Chow jumped in, both to direct and play Kato, and we went: “I think this is a good thing.”
And then Chow left the role of director, and we went: 
Well, get ready for the next hill on the roller coaster which has been the production of Green Hornet.
Why?
‘Cause Michel Freakin’ Gondry is directing it.
Yes, that Michel Gondry. The guy with the trippy music videos, and awesome yet bizarre movies like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Science of Sleep. That one.
I have zero idea what to expect now. Seriously.

Here’s Some CHANGE We Can REALLY Believe In!
This makes me even more bummed that Obama didn’t take the Matrix of Leadership at the Inauguration. But it would make a sweet poster for my wall (hint hint).
By the by, what do you think Optimus Prime’s stimulus package would entail? More Energon cubes to bail out the Dinobots?

Well, This Is Dissapointing (Deadpool From X-Men Origins Revealed…Sorta)
You may’ve noticed a general lack of coverage towards X-Men Origins: Wolverine here at Blast-O-Rama.
And believe me, it’s not for lack of news…it’s more for lack of interest.
I’ve yet to see a single frame of film that has made me believe that it’ll be a decent flick…
…well, except for Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool.
Sure, we’ve only seen him in a red shirt with swords so far, but internet rumor placed it that Reynolds would be properly Deadpool’ed up by the final frame of film.
Much like the Cobra Commander reveal this past week, the action figures have once again given us an early glmpse of what that’ll be…and man is it a dissapointment.
For you spoiler freaks, I’ve added the pic behind the cut, so…
Discuss your thoughts in the comments.

More SCOTT PILGRIM Cast Images
Well, you should know the deal by now.
Edgar Wright’s posting a pic a day. Since he’s directing Scott Pilgrim, it’s been of the cast lately.
Let’s see who’s been “revealed” this week.
Hey look! It’s Chris “Human Torch” Evans as evil-ex Lucas Lee!
And who’s this mysterious fellow?
Well, if the rumor is true, that’s Jason Schwartzman. And who’s he playing? If his “pic” is any indication, that’s Evil Ex #7, the big-boss, the final confrontation…Gideon.
As always, more pics and info are at Wright’s blog below. Although, let’s be honest, if something interesting hits, I’m blogging it.

So How Long Are We Gonna Be Watching THE WATCHMEN Anyway?
As the race continues toward the silver-screen for the much anticipated film adaptation of Watchmen, fans are getting antsy, wanting to know every major detail.
So today, I give you…the RUNNING TIME.
Zach Synder announced today that the theatrical cut will run a smooth 2 hours and 36 minutes.
For those who think that isn’t enough 80’s era super hero action, worry not, there will be two additional cuts on the DVD/Blu-Ray.
The “Director’s Cut” will run approx 3 hours and 10 minutes, which while an impressive figure, is dwarfed by the massive “Extended Cut”, which features the Tales of the Black Freighter, and runs 3 hours and 25 minutes.
Set your pee-breaks now.
