Bioware continues to spread their metaphorical peanut butter over all my favorite chocolate with today announcement that Felicia Day will be staring in a six episode web series based in the Dragon Age universe.
So that doesn’t mean much to everyone, but it means a lot to nerds like me. If you’re unfamiliar with Felicia Day go watch Dr. Horrible or The Guild and get back to me.
Here’s a couple stills of and an interview with Felicia Day on location and rocking a great costume.
Update (Feb 18th): Here’s the first trailer.
Here’s why national televised award shows are stupid: Lots of people are confused (or worse) because they’ve never heard of Arcade Fire before the band won the Grammy for Album of the Year.
Thanks to Kottke for the LOLs.
Dear X-Men movies: it’s been too long. I want you back like the good old days.
Will First Class scratch my itch? The trailer certainly does; let’s hope the movie proves just as awesome!
Holy shit! Clint Mansell is composing the score for Mass Effect 3.
Jack Wall did excelent work on the first two Mass Effect games, but Mass Effect and Mansell is like peanut butter and jelly!
For the details, check out Mansell’s recent interview with The Quietus where he also muses on composing the score for Black Swan and working with Aronofsky.
Amazing criticism of Casino Royale from Warren Ellis:
In Casino Royale, James Bond is the Bond girl. Look at the way they even show him emerging from the ocean like Ursula Andress. Sexual torture, too, if less creepy-glam than being stripped and painted gold. Vesper Lynd is Bond: never not in control, never without a plan, seducing to further her goals. She has to die so Bond can become her.
I think I need to re-watch it now!
Also worth mentioning is this quote from my friend Scott after reading the above: “Too bad there isn’t a take on Quantum of Solace that makes it not suck.”
Too true.
