Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 The first Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs film was definitely 2009's animation dark horse due to the fact that no one really expected to be as good as it was. Now with the upcoming sequel coming this fall the bar has been raised since their last outing. The new trailer has its moments with the Tacodile Supreme but to be honest its rather disappointing and possibly a little too much screaming.
Oh Warner Bros (sigh) you have the entire DC universe at your disposal yet you are only ever capable of making great Batman films, well ones directed by Nolan of course. Jokes at WB aside, like Captain America or Thor, the Wonder Woman costume is a hard sell unless she's fighting Greek gods or Nazis from WWII and WB can't seem to understand why that is or what they should do. That's why I salute Jesse V. Johnson for giving us Wonder Women as she should be!
There was a time where ruthless online aggression, the likes of which devoured countless lives, was all I did back in my college days. Yet gone are those days, for who could keep up with all these various methods of crushing your enemies, but the fact of the matter remains, war ... is a dirty business.
Now why are geeks some of the most romantic people you'll ever meet? Here why a beautifully bespoken cylon inspired ring made from jewels of his grandmother's ring. This is a man who clearly put a lot of thought to this in making this ring both incredibly geeky but equally tasteful. Hell he's even gone through the trouble of drawing up drafts to see how the ring could look. Bravo Mr Michael Moragne you made your bride-to-be a very happy woman.
A new segment we like to call Reel Tidbits unoriginal I know but its straight to the point. Its something to hold you guys over till all our writers get their affairs in order and start posting at a more steady pace (cough! john). First up a really cool piece of art that anyone where half a brain can appreciate. I won't say any more than watch this video in its entirety.
What control and poise!?
Its little more special to those born on the year of snake like yours truly! Here is the list of the last 6 snake years to see if bare the spirit of the serpent 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989 and 2001. [Via: Kotaku] Next up we're talking movie news in the form of the new costume Andrew Garfield will be sporting The Amazing Spider-man 2. Just so you know I didn't care much for the first Amazing Spider-man movie because as a fan of Spider-man comics I felt they got the core of Peter Parker's character all wrong and that costume was just a abomination. It was a good movie but not a good Spider-man movie, I could go on and on about my gripes about it but I'll save that for another time.
Now this is acceptable and suit Peter Parker would be proud of
You know what? I like this no! I really like this! Wow here I was badmouthing the last movie and now they might just have me sold on the next one with just a partial image of this new costume. Whats changed? Gone is the uncomfortable looking shiny rubber suit that had high visible bumps and ridges that looked like it was cutting off blood to his brain (probably explain why Peter took off his mask so much in the last film). The second time round they're going with a new more breathable fabric like material and more subdued texture patterns which is much more easy on the eyes. Speaking of eyes lets look at Spider-man's new shades which is the cherry on the cake for me. The new eyes have easily more personality with the white coloring and thick black outlines that pay homage to the Spider-man comic books. The old ones were fashioned out of reflective sport eye wear that looked cold, unfriendly and just down right ugly. Lets hope the rest of the new costume will looks as amazing as the mask.
"When can I burn this?"
[Via: comingsoon.net] "Update" New photo have surfaced on The Amazing Spider-man 2 set that just started shooting in New York with Andrew Garfield suited up and in his civvies. I'm happy to report that the rest of the costume looks as good as the first piece of promotional material release earlier this week, harking back to the more recognizable Spider-man suit. Here are a couple of the new pictures and if you wish to see more head on over via: Bleedingcool.com who first posted these images
Ah London, lately if it's not being cold enough to sprinkle a few snowflakes around it's trying and cut you down with the icy winds! But hey when you do decide to sneak out of the office, away from people clicking and tapping away, you want to make sure its worthy. Side step into Pho, not exactly a hidden gem but if you've walked around Spitalfields but given in to the more flashy joints that lead up to #7 Spitalfields, you'd probably never of tried Pho, and for shame!
Alright who put bees nest in here? Guys?...
Because housed within all that dark wood lies some good slurps, now don't get me wrong, this place gets filled with hungry hippos if you're not in there before 1 or even 12.30pm and should you pass that deadline well you'll be tortured watching other people noodle it up as you ponder your next move, although the turnaround is pretty quick and come 1.30ish it does calms down again or you can always get some to go.
The dishes arrive within good time since our last few visits and gotta say, it's the sheer size of the meal that brings me back.... well I'll let you see for yourself.
Bun Bo Hue (hot and spicy brisket beef soup)
When it's cold like it has been lately, a big bowl of noodle soup (pho) with the tasty morsels is just what your punk ass needs to lift your spirits.
The soup broth here is full of flavour yet balanced, I didn't even bother ordering a drink after my first visit as I found myself gulping down the soup instead.
Should you go spicy you'll find yourself heating up soon enough, maybe a little too hot if you ask me (Ok, I was foolish enough to dunk the supplied chilli oil in also ><") and be it the steak, brisket, beef, chicken or prawns they are all well done and so far never been like chewing bubblegum or looking lacklustre.
What was that? I think that beansprout moved? Wait that's a Mantis !!
The price tag for this ranges from £8 to £12... yes it's quite steep for lunch and yet you should do it!
You don't even need to order a drink since you'll be gulping down the soup and if you do try the teas, the money king tea is good palette cleanser and it sounds funny too ;J
Verdict, for a lunch it's nice as a fortnightly treat but damaging to both your money and waistline if you do this everyday fatty, zee portions are big! As an after work meal though it'll leave you nicely tucked in ;J
- - - UPDATE - - -
I took a snap of the takeaway menu, roughly £6.25 to £7 for noodle soup that isn't filled with veg (darn you healthy Itsu) isn't too bad and the Bun ranges from £5.25 to £6 ;J
With the PS4 Conference come a slew of next gen titles and stage demos for us to pick at till this years E3. Ubisoft's Watch Dogs caught my eye cause of its sheer scope, intriguing gameplay mechanics and brain swelling visuals. It also dawned on me that this game draws several parallels to the CBS action thriller Person of Interest. Now I couldn't stop grinning after entertaining the notion that one of my favorite TV shows could have a game where I can recreate some of the scenarios from the series. Oh if you not been watching Person of Interest DO IT NOW!!! Its that good. Back to the matter at hand we still don't know much about Watch Dogs in terms of its story or characters that will inhabit it so some my comparisons will be mostly conjecture and the rantings of crazy person.
Ubisoft's next Gen title looks stunning!
First off, let me drop a knowledge bomb about Person of Interest. The show revolves around two protagonists, John Reese, a rogue CIA operative and Harold Finch, a presumed dead genius developer who's amassed a ridiculous fortune. Together they pretty much batman up, rain beat downs upon the city, avoid being caught by the law and save the would be victims.
Reese provides the guns, the brawn and badass skills from his days as a wet works operative. Finch is the brains as well as the financial backing of the group, his near limitless resources and peerless hacking abilities makes him pretty much a superhero Bill Gates. Back on to Watch Dogs, it's safe to assume that the main character, Aiden Pearce, is a wanted man as he is being chased down by police in the gameplay footage. #PAUSE# OK this is where we draw some parallels, Aiden Pearce helps an innocent bystander by chasing off a crook and showing him the error of his ways, with fists. Sound like someone we know? Now unlike Reese who has Finch to provide him with intel, eyes from above and hacking into security systems, Aiden is on his own. That being said Aiden strikes a balance between the two by being able to hack his way into anything with a electric pulse to going all John Woo in a fire fight.
From the left to right: Reese, Carter, Finch
Both Watch Dogs and Person of Interest are set in a world where Supercomputers observe everything and everyone. The one difference is that the supercomputer in Person of Interest can predict crimes before they happen whereas in Watch Dogs.... ok I don't actually know the full extent this metal box can do other than what Ubisoft has told us "The system controls almost every piece of technology in the city, and contains information on all of the city's residents and activities which can be used for various purposes."
Sweet Lord its helping him cheat!
Still not convinced that Watch Dogs and Person of Interest are cut from the same cloth? Well I got one more round left in the chamber. One gameplay feature in Watch Dogs has that screams Person of Interest is hacking via cellphones which I can only presume is hot glued to his hand, seeing how it can do more damage on the field than a mere handgun. Q put it best when he told Bond where the evolution of warfare and espionage was heading in this quote "Well, I'll hazard I can do more damage on my laptop sitting in my pajamas before my first cup of Earl Grey than you can do in a year in the field." That applies here but with a cellphone instead of a laptop but the principles genuinely the same.

Well that's my two cents on Watch Dogs and Person of Interest I can't draw a full conclusion till I play Watch Dogs so you'll have find out what I think of it in the near future. But I can say this Person of Interest is a show worthy of your attention if enjoy anything similar to it like Minority Report, Enemy of the State or the Bourne series. Watch the preview featurette below if your still not on the wagon.
Hey we're the new kids on the blog here to talk about Food, TV, Film and being down right silly. Just look at the ramblings of one of our cronies from sector 7G.
"I declare, on this day, at this very hour. That your silly notions on etiquette is why I’ve already eaten all the waffles and your still hungry ;J
So you want to delve pass the outer sanctum and see what hideous, obnoxious beast lies within? Well that my savvy friend lies a tough question, for I’m afraid there’s but one way to determine whether our motives are driven by any intelligence at all…. Yes you guessed it by dissecting our brains! That luscious grey matter….. ooooh yess But since current laws and not to mention the horrendous mess that would make, guide you to do otherwise I can tell you this much. Clicking around willy-nilly might work for you out there but be careful not to poke the muffin man! Such nonsense could lead to buffoonery, that or mental anguish.
Now where was I… Oh yes! I have but just arrived, so please forgive my ramblings but sorting out the voices in my head before they speaks sense will take time ta ta"
