Round 7… Sly Stallone Vs. the AICN readership! Ding-ding-ding!!!

Thursday, December 7th, 2006

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here once more to post Round 7 of the Sly Stallone 200 Questions thingy. This one isn’t as ribs-hurting hilarious as the last one, but Stallone’s still on his roll. I especially like his PS… I, for one, can’t wait to hear him talk about DEARTH RACE 2000… I have a beautiful one-sheet of that desperate to get framed and mounted on the wall… They sure knew how to make posters back then… Anyway, enjoy Round 7!!!

A New NINJA TURTLES Movie Trailer Is Online In Mega Cruddy Stamp-O-Vision!!

Thursday, December 7th, 2006

Merrick here…

MTV has posted a new trailer of the TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES CGI film — due next year. It’s, like, really small and shit. A most unsatisfactory viewing experience.

This said, you can get a fair sense of the look/style/tone of the film from this material — although I can’t wait to see it larger & clearer.

HERE is the film’s teaser trailer…in case you missed it the first time around, or want to refresh your memory. MTV: please note the multiple size options & Glorious QuickTime here.

Wiimote broken screen faker sets up PayPal link to cash in

Thursday, December 7th, 2006

Filed under:

We’ve been pretty lenient with Wiimote disaster pictures so far — we’re looking at you, Tyler — since they’re just so dang funny. But now Mr. Mmcheacher had to go and ruin it for everyone by faking a disaster of his own, and expecting people to fork over PayPal dollars to buy him a brand new laptop. Mmcheacher put up a cute little blog with that picture up above, along with a sad story of Wiimote strap-breaking woe, hoping to win some pity dollars with that “cracked LCD” of his, him being a student and all. Next, (for those potential pranksters out there taking notes), Mmcheacher tipped us about the blog, and had a friend tip us 16 minutes later, completing this marvelous deception. Unfortunately for him, that screensaver he’s using has been around the internet a time or two, and he’s not fooling anyone. Sorry to ruin the party, Mmcheacher — if that’s even your real name — but perhaps you can try a little harder next time around?

UPDATE:
Sorry to ruin the fun, but after this post went up, the aforementioned Mmcheacher (whose real name is Michael Parker McEachern, we’ve discovered) swapped his tale of woe for a NSFW page of hate, so we pulled the link. Now you’ll just have to use your imagination. Or you can email him at mmceachern@gmail.com or michaelparker@gmail.com — maybe he’ll send you a screencap.
