Well, they’ve got enough BALLS to release the trailer…

… unfortunately, it does nothing to improve an already highly skeptical ambiance towards the upcoming movie.  Not a surprise, really, just a teaser for the disappointment to come on 2009.03/13.

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, perhaps both… but not in a good way.

I first saw the trailer at Tor, then at Kotaku, not that it helps my [...]

Thank you for watching “The Dark Knight” with us!

On behalf of my SO and our friend, we would like to thank all of you who graced us with your pressence in last night’s “The Dark Knight” Private Screening to celebrate our respective birthdays.

We hope you all had [...]

Nomad Gaming Log 2008.06/12

Happy Independence Day, Philippines!

To slowly ease out on the D&D wagon, today’s collection are geek and gaming related.

Somewhat Recent Gaming News

Magic: The Gathering Duel Decks for November – Unlike the new MtG Theme Decks, this one will be complete 60 card decks.  Probably like the Elves vs Goblins thing they released a while back.
Alpha Point: [...]

“The Secret History of Star Wars” (ebook)

I’ll let the author, Michael Kaminski, introduce his free downloadable book in his own words:

The Secret History of Star Wars is a new full-length e-book exploring the writing and creation of the Star Wars saga. Culled from over 400 sources and filled with quotes from people such as George Lucas, Gary Kurtz and Mark Hamill, [...]

Iron Man (movie review)

Iron Man is all over the place!  It’s already the 2nd best opening for a non-sequel (Spider-Man still at #1) and the 10th largest all-time opening!  But is the movie any good?  I’m very pleased to say it is!

I’m not all that up-to-date with the comics, so I came into the movie with less background [...]

Nomad Log 2008.04/18

No news for today, but I have found a great survey, a list of movies I’m looking forward to, and some geek stuff.

Survey

Take the Geek Test!

I got 37.47535% on the 1st try, 43.58974% on the re-test, and a possibility of pushing it to 44.37869% (given the books I plan to get in the next [...]

CloverHurl

I came into the movie knowing it’s gonna be a handycam film like Blair Witch. It wasn’t enough to prevent me from feeling like I just came ashore after taking a less than gentle tugboat ride in the sea.

For those who don’t know yet, Cloverfield is a monster movie. The movie [...]

Cool Commercials: Burger King Transformers

I actually saw this commercial in LA during my California vacation. Given that me and my friends from the Philippines just watched the movie right before I got to LA, I immediately shared this with them.

For the other pinoys, check out this commercial we missed out on.

Cool Commercials: Halo 3 Mountain Dew

Product advertising has made vast strides in “watchability” since I was a kid, particularly in the Philippines. The problem is, unless it’s on cable (which is mostly localized), we don’t get to see the fun foreign commercials.

If I run into any, I’ll give you guys a heads-up. For now, I’ll start with the [...]

Transformers: The Movie (2007)

It’s 01:18, I just got home from watching the 2.5 hr robot-fest that is Transformers.

Simply put, it might very well be the greatest movie of the year!

I haven’t watched anything that put me at a loss for words in a very long time.  I haven’t enjoyed a movie this much since 300.  The movie is [...]
