Little Big WATCHMEN

Of all the movies released this year, which would you expect to be the one with an add-on for PlayStation 3 platformer Little Big Planet?

Maybe a Sackboy Carl Fredricksen from Up? Perhaps he’ll be chased by giant meatballs from Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs? Or Bob the Blob from Monsters vs. Aliens would make an appearance?

Well, all of those are wrong. Instead, as you can see above, Sony has decided to expand Little Big Planet with tools, stickers and sackboy costumes from the dark, gory, blue dong showing hard R adaptation of the comic book classic Watchmen!

Below, is the official trailer for this add-on set, and I think I might just pick it up for the sheer surreal nature of it all.

The Little Big Planet Watchmen add-on content will be available this Thursday, October 1st in the PlayStation Store.

Teasing A NIGHTMARE

Fresh off the MySpace presses (yes, I guess some people do still go there), we have the first look at footage from the 2010 remake of A Nightmare On Elm Street.

Featuring Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Kruger as opposed to Robert Englund, this teaser is apparently near identical to the one shown at San Diego Comic Con this past summer, and pretty much affirms that it will have the same glossy music video feel seen in the Friday the 13th and Texas Chainsaw Massacre remakes.

Personally, for me, the real draw of the film is Haley as Kruger, given my enjoyment of him as Rorschach in Watchmen, but it’s cool to see the filmmakers are giving homages to the original film with shots like the claw coming out of the bathwater.

Will it be a worthy remake? We’ll see when this new Nightmare screens on April 30, 2010.

EDIT: Added YouTube version, as MySpace player was slowing down the site.

Local newspaper, The Baltimore Sun, is having a contest celebrating the best blogs in Baltimore.

The contest is called The Mobbies, and some way, some how, this lovely blog was suggested as a candidate for one of the best in the area.

I’m one of 6 candidates for the “Pop Culture” portion of the awards, and voting begins Today, September 28th, and ends at 5pm on Friday, October 9th.  You can vote once a day, so if you could please click through and vote me up, well, I’d love you for it.   Due to the timely (and important) nature of this vote, I’ll be sticking this post to the top of the site through October 9th.

Click here to vote for my blog ... early and often

All you have to do is click the image above to take you to where you need to go to vote.

As for you great new readers coming to Blast-O-Rama thanks to the Mobbies, thank you for coming here.  Blast-O-Rama is my take on what  I call “geek culture” (i.e., anything that makes you nerd out), and I hope you enjoy the read.

If you like this site, I highly recommend you check out my other big project, Super Art Fight. Super Art Fight is a live art competition, for which I serve as co-host and commentator, and we have a big show on October 9th at The Metro Gallery.  If you dig what we do, join us on October 9th, won’t you?

Thank you for reading and voting, and I guess we’ll see how I do in the standings!
