Capcom asks: Which Street Fighter IV Figures do you want?
Written by Jason Vien   
Wednesday, 14 May 2008

SFIVThe stand-up people at Cacom USA want to give us cool Street Fighter IV figures, but are unable to produce the ENTIRE cast of characters in beautiful pvc form. They can't decide which characters will get the figure treatment, so this is where we, the fans, come in. Capcom USA is asking the gaming community to vote for their top three favorite SF IV characters. That's right, We get to decide!  Who will you choose? Will you stick with classic Street Fighter stalwarts, or choose the new kids on the block? Let yourself be heard, drop your votes over at the  Capcom blog.

Gainax @ FanimeCon 2008 Update
Written by Theodore Mak   
Wednesday, 14 May 2008

 We have dug up new confirmed information in regards to Gainax's appearance. Tony, a FanimeCon Forum Administrator and MusicFest Head, said,

"Ok, I'm told we have some really interesting guests coming from GAINAX, and a lot of them, but they themselves have requested not to publicize the details. They should be in the program guide. In any case, we're planning a lot of events with them, so there will be ample opportunity to get your GAINAX fix..."

Marie, Assistant Director of Marketing for FanimeCon responded to Tony's comment,
 
"Think of it as a gift. You don't know what it's going to be, but when you open it, you know it's going to be awesome! And you're not the only one who's going to be surprised. Not even staff knows who exactly is going to show up. So let's be surprised together!"

First Official Dragonball Movie Promotional Image
Written by Jason Vien   
Monday, 12 May 2008

goku chatwinHere's a low quality scan (perfect for a low quality flick. I kid, I kid) of the Dragonball promo image featured in Shonen Jump #12. To view the full image, click "read more", or here . A few details can be glanced from the text on the promo:

 

 

"I’ll grant you a wish…!!

Rumor after rumor but [now] Dragonball live action movie finally comes true!
Director James Wong of Final Destination, and producer the revolutionary film maker Stephen Chow of Shaolin Soccer. Remarkable casts are Son Goku is Justin Chatwin who played Tom Cruise’s son in Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds, and Master Roshi is Chow yun-fat of Pirates of the Caribbean.

All Dragonball fan’s wish are granted now ! We will continue to offer new information to you on Jump Cinema Island !"

 

 Take from that what you will. I'll reserve further comments (save one: Chatwin Goku's hair doesn't look half bad) until we at least get a trailer. For more info on the Dragonball movie, check out its official movie blog

Speed Racer Movie Bombs in Box Office. Lesson to be learned?
Written by Jason Vien   
Monday, 12 May 2008

speed racerSpeed Racer, the live-action adaptation of the classic pseudo-anime helmed by the Wachowski bros, closed it's weekend opening at a heartbreaking $20 million. In retrospect, it probably wasn't a great idea to attempt a coup against the juggernaut that is Iron Man just a week after that films' bow. Iron Man, in comparison, took in $50 million this weekend and succeeded in dominating the box office two weeks in a row (and sitting pretty at $150+ million domestically). Warner Brothers' $180 million nostalgia trip looks to be in trouble, especially when you consider the list of summer big-hitters releasing in mere weeks (*cough* Indiana Jones). While no one anticipated Speed Racer to overtake Iron Man, experts still estimated at least a $40 mil take in, so the results are made even more painful. So what is the reason behind the flop? Poor marketing? Crap reviews? Recession? Or maybe it's because live-action adaptations of old cartoons just don't work (Scooby Doo, Underdog, etc.). Who knows. 

If you still have an urge to watch Speed Racer, check out the first 7 minutes here before plopping down your hard earned green-backs.

Tidbit: Bandai Entertainment's New Website is Preparing For the Next Battle
Written by Jason Vien   
Sunday, 11 May 2008
Bandai Entertainment's brand spanking new website has entered an "alpha" testing phase and they now have a blog . Not too exciting right now, but the idea of Bandai keeping us up to date on a blogular (a term of my own genius splicing of "blog" and "regular") basis is particularly interesting.

Milk + Curry + Instant Noodles = Win?
Written by Jason Vien   
Saturday, 10 May 2008

milk noodlyI love instant cup noodles. It's unhealthy, mostly unsatisfying, and let's be honest those seemingly innocuous little styrofoam cups aren't a boon to the environment. But I could care less because (stating it twice for absolute effect), I love me some instant cup noodles. You know what I love more than instant cup noodles? Cow juice Milk . You've heard of the slogans, it does a body good.  Now, you're probably pondering the arbitrariness of this post and trying to connect the dots between cup noodles and milk, but if you're anything like me, you may have already begun imagining what sorts of delicious would result in a fusion of said cup noodles and milk. Rejoice my fellow fans of end-result lactation and awesome in a cup, we needn't imagine any longer.

Nissin, instant noodle conglomerate and all around purveyor of 3-minute goodness, has introduced Milk Curry Cup Noodles, which joins Milk Seafood and Cheese Curry cup noodles in the dairy noodle soup line-up. I promise to have T-ono.net administer The-O serve as guinea pig errr...taste tester on this new find and will report the results to you, dear reader.

Hit the jump for more delicious Milk cup noodle images. (Click "read more")
