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.

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.

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,
It’s a fun read as always, but don’t worry, if important pics show, I’ll blog them.

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.

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?

Hey gang, if you grab today’s isue of b, you may notice a familiar face as part of the Oscar panel.
It was a pretty fun bit to write, giving my unabashed opinions about this year’s Oscars, and I hope you enjoy reading it too.
If you read today’s article and you’re new here, please feel free to drop a line in the comments.
If you agree, disagree, or generally feel my Oscar picks suck, feel free to let me know. Let’s make for some fun debate!

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…
