So I was just digging up images of Burgertime for an article I’m wrapping up, and I stumbled on this collection of game interpretations/parody art by one Handre De Jager. Obviously these are old, since I found a gamesetwatch post about them from January ’06. Still, dig ’em, I think they’re insane:
Added bonus: guess the games!
Since, with the exception of Hot Fuzz, all the flicks I’ve been watching lately have been grody horror movies, I gave my rotting brain a break last night and sat down with Umberto Lenzi’s Almost Human AKA a Bunch of Other Titles.
This bad boy is essential viewing if you’ve never seen it, though I know a few of you most certainly have! Tomas Milian versus Henry Silva is one of the most erotic crime/polizia face-offs ever. I’d be really surprised if Pacino didn’t heavily study how amazing Milian is in this flick before digging into his role as Tony Montana. At least let me believe what I want to.
Almost Human is at or near the top of Lenzi’s oeuvre, and is easily one of the best polizia flicks I’ve ever seen. Oh, and fuck you guys if this reads like an Italian film segment of Reading Rainbow!
No, that’s not some attempt at a “clever” post title, though I wouldn’t blame you for thinking it was one of my typically bad jokes!
“Sell it Again, Sam” is/was the name of a thrift store around here that Canaan (The Man Himself) and I used to frequent in our adolescent quest for old Star Wars toys. They also had their fair share of used TV game cassettes with the names of now-agéd children scrawled on the back.
Anywho, the original proprietor was a predictably crotchety old man. Canaan will have to back this up, but I believe he put up one of his consoles on consignment there once. Perhaps that’s another story for another day, better told from the horse’s mouth!
Speaking of horses, I’m preparing to take a break from having writer’s block to mount my very own steel-caged steed and veer it in the direction of this crumbled tomb of thriftiness to see if it still exists. If, by chance, all that remains is a heap of rubble and the broken hilts of fallen warriors, then I shall scour its ruins for some lost treasures!
This is the episode that, whether you’re aware or not, you’ve all been waiting for!
FIVE MEN CONVERGE INTO ONE AUDITORY VESSEL, PLUNGING INTO YOUR EAR CANAL AND PERFORMING A BARREL ROLL THROUGH YOUR BRAIN!
It looks like Fox Canceled Drive already. Let’s clarify some things first: It’s not a great show, but it has its moments, and it latches its hook in certain places. It’s like they used their good writers to whip up Nathan Fillion’s story, and then dispatched duty on the other characters to some interns. It also features the ugliest woman on television; not television ugly, but real world ugly.
This served as an instant boon for entertainment writers everywhere, all of which flocked to their computers to work on their very best”driving puns.”
Also for your added pleasure: JAPANESE BRUCE WILLIS!
