Gorgonzola Cheese!

It’s the end of the week so I thought I’d do a MEGA POST starting with a trailer for a live action Mega Man fan movie made by Eddie Lebron.

Check out the Proto Man cameo at 2:29. The guy playing Dr. Wiley is spot on.  I’m sure the actress playing Roll could be cute without the wig, but it unfortunately makes her look like a dude. This movie looks like a very ambitious project and I can’t wait to see it when it’s finished. Check http://www.megamanfilm.com/ for more details.

To continue this post, here is a really creative fan ad for Mega Man’s most recent appearance in the video game world, Mega Man 9.  Mega Man 9 took the series back to its roots and reintroduced the NES-style graphics and gameplay similar to Mega Man 2.  It is available for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii as a downloadable game.  The music for this ad is Concrete Man’s theme.


Mega Man (in his Mega Man Legends helmetless form) will also be appearing in the upcoming Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Cross Generation Heroes, which is a spiritual successor to the the Marvel vs. Capcom series. It will be released on December 11th for Nintendo Wii but be ready to import it because it looks like the game will not be leaving Japanese shores due to the licensing nightmare that would ensue due to Tatsunoko’s distribution rights being owned by various companies in the US.


I’d like to end it all with an oldie but a goodie.  Okkusenman is a song about our childhood memories, which may include Mega Man or Ultraman and it is done to the theme music to Dr. Wiley’s Castle from Mega Man 2. The song became hugely popular a year or two ago and has spawned many covers and even flash animated music videos.

Chocolate is new Thai movie that came out in Thailand in February. It tells the story of a girl afflicted with Autism, who has somehow learned martial arts from watching Kung Fu movies and needs to get revenge for some reason or other… Ah Phuket (har har), I don’t need to describe this, just watch the trailer! It’s freakin amazing and brought to you by the makers of Ong-Bak!

Chocolate stars Yaneen Vismistananda in her first movie and was specifically written for her in mind. She originally had a background in Taekwondo and had to undergo stunt training for the movie and just like Tony Jaa in Ong-Bak, she does all her own stunts. No word when this’ll be hitting the states, but I’ll keep you posted.

“Hey, Doctor Jones, no time for love. We’ve got company!”

What better way to celebrate Singles Awareness Day than to geek out with the new trailer for the fourth Indiana Jones movie: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?

Is Harrison Ford too old to eat solid foods? Will Shia Leboeuf pull off a convincing 50s greaser? Will this movie be more patriotic than Spider-Man 3? We’ll find out May 22nd.
