Quote:In a Q&A with Playbill magazine, Mel Brooks says that he's currently working on a Spaceballs sequel. Here's the clip from the interview which starts off by talking about the big screen adaptation of The Producers.
Playbill: Will you have a role in it?
MB: It's doubtful, but I'm writing myself back into the Spaceballs sequel that I'm now writing, so you haven't seen the last of my face. Why another Spaceballs? It wouldn't feel right have anyone else play Yoghurt and the first one was the best experience I've had making a movie since Blazing Saddles.
Playbill: When can we expect that?
MB: Best case scenario: a week before the new Star Wars opens. Worst Case Scenario: a year after the new star wars opens.
Mel Brooks is writing a sequel to Spaceballs! Woo-hoo! I wonder how many characters from the first one will return?
Quote:According to an article on SankeiWeb (Japanese Only), Nintendo's Advisor Hiroshi Yamauchi announced at a press conference in Kyoto that Nintendo will be investigating the possibility of forming an animation studio. At the press conference, Yamauchi said "Video games are very similar to films. Although the final decision is up to the [October] management meeting, we should be headed in that direction. Nintendo is prepared to accept the risks involved."
Oh man, that would be so awesome! We could finally get a cool, anime Legend of Zelda series! Or even one with Mario!!
Quote:It seems that Hiroshi Yamauchi, ex-Nintendo president and still raving lunatic, is willing to ask Nintendo to finance an animated movie.
The last videogame company that tried the field of animated film failed pretty miserably, but it appears that Yamauchi-san is going to approach the Board of Directors in October anyway to see if Nintendo will consider a movie. His announcements were made at an event in Kyodo.
The film will be based on the poetic works from the famous Ogura Hyakunin Isshu compilation, and while that does not sound like a popular business venture outside of Japan, Yamauchi insists that the idea would work both at home and abroad. His plans for the movie follow along the lines of Hayao Miyazuki, a director best known for his films Princess Mononoke and the much heralded Spirited Away.
In Katamari Damacy you have a little guy who rolls a ball and picks up junk. That's it. That's all you do. And the graphics are barely on par with a PSX game. So then why is it one of the funnest, craziest, and most addicting games ever made? Well, it's hard to say, but in Katamari Damacy as you pick up more things your katamari [that's the sticky ball thing that pick up stuff] gets bigger and you can pick up bigger things like cats and dogs and then people and then cars and then you can pick up bigger things like houses and skyscrapers. It's the kind of game that can only be made by a Japanese person, who has perfected the art of making things that are really crazy and that make no sense. And it's only $20.
I suppose someone had to make a thread about this movie. If you havn't seen it yet, do so now. I wouldn't call it Monty Python-esqe...which is what every (lazy) American journalist loves to catergorize English comedies as. But, it's still INCREDIBLY funny. If you're a fan of horror movies, and more specifically zombie movies you'll pick up on the numerous clever references. Oddly, it's more scary, and more of a zombie movie than that atrocious RE2 movie was. I highly recommend this overlooked film.

The Warp Pipe guys have been hinting at something big involving the DS which is supposed to be announced mid-to-late October. You can find all of the details here and here are the pictures they have released:
Remember that stuff from over a year ago about Gamespy working with Nintendo for their online network? Since Nintendo doesn't want to do it someone like Gamespy could, but nothing came of it. Well now it looks like the Warp Pipe guys are going to be the ones to bring Nintendo online (at least for the DS), and I'm anxious to see what happens.
The latest rumor. (Remember, the X-Box 2 is supposed to have an IBM processor of the type used in Mac G5s and developers working on X-Box 2 games supposedly are doing that on said Mac G5s...)
Quote:RUMOR #5: The Xbox 2 will use Virtual PC 7 for backwards compatibility for original Xbox games.
Source: Self-explanatory site Geek.com.
The official story: Microsoft reps said they would "track down" the source of the rumor, but had not as of press time.
What we heard: According to Geek.com's Apple Insider subsection, the reason for the delay of the latest version of Virtual PC 7 is that "Microsoft has given this project exclusively to the Xbox team." Why would they do such a thing? "Because the next Xbox will include an IBM PowerPC 970, and current Xbox game developers are shipped G5 PowerMacs," says Geek.com. While not confirmed by Microsoft, it sounds like a much more plausible scenario than last week's Xbox 2-backwards-compatiblity rumor, which had a Silicon Valley startup providing universal emulator middleware for the next-gen console.
Sounds like they have realized that backwards compatibility is a big issue and that dropping it would be a horrible idea after Sony has pretty much said that PS3 will almost certainly have it. The question then is how they'd deal with the sizable technical issues (totally different hardware!). An emulator is clearly the way to go... so why not use the one that they (presumably) own?
