BATTLE ROYALE Is Finally Coming To America!

One of my favorite movies of all time is the Japanese film Battle Royale.

An absolutely brilliant satire which is equal parts reality TV show and forced Lord of the Flies, Battle Royale is the tail of a Japanese high school class who is forced into a televised competition where 42 students are placed on an island, and only one may live.

While this may also sound quite a bit like The Hunger Games, Battle Royale did it first, releasing in theaters way back in the year 2000.  I’ve owned the movie in a number of formats since (VCD, Theatrical DVD, Directors Cut DVD), but Lionsgate is bringing it to the US this March, marking probably the first instance of me owning it legally!

The DVD and Blu-Ray release will be on March 20th, 2012 and will come in two flavors.

The standard edition, cover above, includes Battle Royale: Director’s Cut with Japanese Dolby TrueHD 7.1, English Dolby TrueHD 5.1, and English subtitles.

For the super nerds (i.e. me, who already has it pre-ordered on Amazon), there is Battle Royale: The Complete Collection!

This four disc set includes the following:

  • Battle Royale Director’s Cut with Japanese Dolby TrueHD 7.1, English Dolby TrueHD 5.1, and English subtitles.
  • Battle Royale Theatrical Cut with Japanese and English Dolby TrueHD 5.1, and English subtitles.
  • Battle Royale II with Japanese Dolby TrueHD 5.1 and English subtitles.
  • Battle Royale Bonus Disc (DVD), containing the following:
    -The Making Of Battle Royale
    -Battle Royale Press Conference
    -Instructional Video: Birthday Version
    -Audition & Rehearsal Footage
    -Special Effects Comparison Featurette
    -Tokyo International Film Festival 2000
    -Battle Royale Documentary
    -Basketball Scene Rehearsals
    -Behind-The-Scenes Featurette
    -Filming On-Set
    -Original Theatrical Trailer
    -Special Edition TV Spot
    -TV Spot: Tarantino Version

I’m totally blown away that this is finally getting released over here, and with such a great release. It’s gonna be nice to go back to the Island this March.

You Know You Want All The BONDS In HD

So, this coming fall, James Bond returns to the silver screen in the hopefully to be awesome flick Skyfall.  Not only is this the third flick for Daniel Craig, who I feel has been amazing, but it marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Bond franchise.

In turn, MGM/Fox are also planning something for HD movie nerds like myself – Bond 50: The Complete 22 Film Collection, a 23 disc collection of every single Bond movie on blu-ray.

For nine of these films, this is the first release in high-def, and it’s sure to be one of the big movie sets for the holiday season.  They’ve released a very cool trailer to celebrate the set, and I’ve embedded it below.

The full details of the release are not known at this time, but the set will retail for $299.99. That said, if you head to Amazon.com right now, you can get it for just $199.99!

Very cool, right? Yeah, I thought so.  Just remember – James is kind of an asshole.

It’s been over a year since Mad Men Season 4 ended, placing us at a very unique time for everyone’s favorite sixties ad agency.

And it turns out that we know when the series will return. Season 5, premiering a year and a half after the last season ended, will hit screens on Sunday Night, March 25th, 2012.

Mad Men star (and my man crush) Jon Hamm let the info fly on this week’s installment of the always great Doug Loves Movies podcast, and I can’t wait. Not just to get to look at Peggy and Joan again. *sigh*

LEGO BATMAN 2 – Arriving This Summer!

Welp, this is going to be awesome. The absolutely fun and sublime Lego Batman video game is going to be getting a sequel this summer (just in time for The Dark Knight Rises), and it looks like Travelers’ Tales is going to step their game up.

For the forthcoming Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, the game takes a note from the new sets from Lego and adds Superman, Wonder Woman and more of the DC Universe to the next block-styled Dark Knight adventure.

No word on all the heroes we’ll be seeing in the game, but we’ll be seeing it on almost every system ever – the PC, 360, PS3, DS, 3DS, Wii and PS Vita.

Time to blow more stuff up for block pieces.

I think I’ve found the books which I would want to ruin my future children’s minds with.

Well, provided they ever actually existed.

Mixing the whimsical style of the classic Dr. Seuss with everyone’s favorite Dark Knight, deviantART users DrFaustusAU really outdoes himself with some amazing pieces.

If you dig what you see here, be sure to check out his full DeviantArt page, with Seuss-esq takes on Masters of the Universe, Doctor Who and yes, CTHULU!

A PRESTIGE-esq Musical From AARON SORKIN?!

One of my favorite movies of all time is Christopher Nolan’s The Prestige.

One of my favorite screenwriters of all time is Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network, The West Wing, Sports Night).

I have a secret love of musicals.

So, when they announce that Hugh Jackman will be playing Harry Houdini in a musical written by Aaron Sorkin, it’s something my nerd brain can’t really take.  I realize, this is a project that may only interest me, but holy crap, this could be AMAZING.

Unfortunately, this won’t bow until 2013-14, so I guess that still gives me time to see The Book of Mormon, but…this could be something really special. I’ll be keeping an ear to the ground on this project.

90′s Nostalgia Done Right! SAMURAI PIZZA CATS Figure Is Coming!

Click For Larger!

One of my favorite guilty pleasures from my late era childhood (as I approached my awkward teenage years) is definitely Samurai Pizza Cats.

A very over the top series given an even more ridiculous in-joke filled dub, the title originally known as Cat Ninja Legend Teyandee in Japan became a cult classic over here, especially amongst those in my age group.

I guess word got around, as there will now be a Speedy Cerviche action figure!

I don’t know much more besides the release date (March/April), but HOLY CRAP! A high quality Samurai Pizza Cats figure! This is way too awesome for my nerd brain to comprehend.

When You Thought HOT TOPIC Couldn’t Get Worse…THE CHEWBACCA HOODIE

Filed Under: movies, swag by Marty Day — Leave a comment

You ever find yourself looking at a licensed item and wondering to yourself how the hell it got approved?

That’s where I am today.  See, the merchandising world of Star Wars apparently hasn’t hit an equilibrium in its highs and lows. In turn, the fine retailers of comically large, chain covered pants at Hot Topic have decided to shift the seasaw to the side of bad with this giant turd – The Chewbacca Hoodie.

Covered in brown fur, and apparently so uncomfortable that even the dude who is being paid to wear it can’t look excited, this damn thing costs $70-$74, and most importantly, your shot at ever being taken seriously by a loved one ever again.

Click through fast, furverts, this one is gonna go fast as we enter the freezing season.
