Join us this Sunday at 8 PM EST - http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/14391 - for some big news that's happening with us at Film Geeks. Our little show and blog are growing each week and each month and the news we'll be announcing will show that.

We recently mentioned in our Accolade post that Patrick was recently contact by Hollywood director and writer, Josh Stolberg. I, Patrick, wrote a review for his movie "Kids In America" which you can check out here - http://filmgeeksshow.blogspot.com/2008/03/kids-in-america-patrick-movie-review.h... and through an IMDB.com message this was his reply:

"Hey there,

Thanks for a nice write-up about my movie. It made me smile.

Cheers,

Josh"

So I wrote him back in almost utter shock that a Hollywood director would contact a random internet movie reviewer. I thanked him for his message and reading the post and that I was infatuated with one of the actresses in the movie, Stephanie Sherrin. In my message back I also asked him for an autograph and that I would send him something to sign. The following was his response:

"Hey bud. I think I still have a couple of posters left that were signed by the cast (including Stephanie).

Just tell me where to send it to and I'll get it out to you as soon as I get a chance. I'm a little screwed for time this coming week but I should be able to do it the following.

Take care,
Josh "

So this was even more amazing to me. Then, on Friday, I received the poster. So here it is and a close up on the pictures. It's signed by all the people on the poster and Josh Stolberg as well.

Some retarded four-year old on an iMac made a CGI-based film, and George Lucas decided it should be a Star Wars movie. Check out this crap...

http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809991325/video/7744414/

I don't think George Lucas or Genndy Tartakovsky have ever seen Appleseed, because they'd be embarrassed to release something as weak as that trailer. The CG from the Jedi Knight PC games was better than that garbage, and those games are older than Wes's Mom.

Hopefully the plot won't suck as badly as the animation. It'd better have General Grievous in it or it will be a complete waste of time. There was way too big of a gap between Episode 2 and Episode 3, so hopefully this will fill in some of the plot holes.

We play it at lunch here at work, and whoever has the nunchuk-steering seems to win. But brawl is much more fun anyway!

I haven't tried it with the nunchuk, but I bet you're right. The thing I hate most about the wheel is the lack of shoulder buttons. You've only got one button for power-sliding, and it'll slide the kart whichever way you're facing. With the prior titles, you always had two shoulder buttons, so you'd slide in the direction of the shoulder button you pressed.

It seems like I'm always inadvertently sliding in the wrong direction, and I'm a power-sliding whore, so it really screws me up on some maps.

(...needs two buttons, dang it!)
