Wow, MS ain’t effing around with this one.

After trailing Apple for about 3 years now with their Zune portable music player, Microsoft has made a solid blow at the defenses of the Mac Cultist Empire with the unveiling of the Zune HD.

Their counterpoint to the wildly-popular iPod Touch, the Zune HD boasts many features against the standard Zune series, including a multi-touch screen, HD video output, HD radio tuning abilities, and a connection to the XBox 360, which will be revealed next week at E3. (Hear that? A shit ton of gaming stories are coming.)

No pricing or capacity information has been revealed for the new Zune, but you can rest assured we’ll all know about it by the time this new player is released in the Fall.

That reminds me…do Zunes work on macs yet?

ANCHORMAN 2…Will It Be A Bad Choice?

Hands down, there are few funnier experiences in my life than when I saw Anchorman in theaters.

Probably the movie that really put the “Apatow Crew” on the map, I’m amazed to find that to this day, lines from the film can put me in hysterics.

But of course, since we can never get enough of a good thing, Will Farrel, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd and Adam McKay are having a meeting next week to discuss the possibility of Anchorman 2.

Personally, I think the tales of Ron Burgundy are best left to the past, but knowing that it’s the original crew behind the film meeting to discuss the idea of a sequel, as opposed to Hollywood suits pushing a deal for the sequel.

Anchorman 2 for Summer 2011?  I guess we’ll see.

That’s right, everyone’s favorite talk show, Between Two Ferns With Zach Galifinakis has returned for it’s fifth installment.

The guest this time around is Galifinakis’s co-star in the forthcoming The Hangover, Bradley Cooper.  As usual, I’ll let the show speak for itself, but get ready for an interesting guest appearance.

Buffy Minus Joss Whedon Minus Garfield

Here’s a weird one!

Apparently the rights holders for the Buffy the Vampire Slayer franchise are looking to move forward with a new movie version of the character, this time without the writing (and related universe) created by Joss Whedon.

Now, let’s ignore the fact that this is another retarded instance of the remake crazy suits in Hollywood missing the fact that they can release a film with a similar concept without using the name of an established franchise.

Instead, I’d like to address the fandom raging at a Buffy project moving forward without Whedon.

…you guys ever think that maybe, just maybe, Whedon was asked about this project? And he doesn’t want to do it?

It’s bad enough that a second season of the dull Dollhouse is due to hit Fox this year, right after Whedon talking about how he’d rather do more original projects in the vein of Dr. Horrible…

But you dudes really want him to write a movie about characters who’s story he finished five years ago?

Food for thought.
