Robocop Bitches Leave Mens T-Shirt

Ah, Kurtwood Smith. For all your hilarious retorts on "That '70s Show" and creepy guest appearances on "Medium," you'll always be the guy who horrifically maimed Robocop to me. And who can forget that time you blew up Miguel Ferrer's house? Good times. If you're the kind of guy who likes all prostitutes to leave the building before executing a contract kill on their john, this is the shirt for you. Image is iron-on heat transfer, and comes on a black or white T-shirt.
Cool T-Shirt from a cool film. You can buy it here

If you happen to have a pair of 3D glasses lying around from a recent cinema then whack them on and have a look at this Superbowl advert for Monsters vs Aliens (I've not got any handy so no idea how well it works - may have to click on the Watch in HD tab maybe).

XIII - News on the Val Kilmer, Stephen Dorff mini-series

The controversial Belgian comic book “XIII” by Jean Van Hamme and William Vance is coming to American television in February, courtesy of Prodigy Pictures and Cipango. The four-hour television miniseries starring Stephen Dorff as the amnesiac assassin code named XIII will be broadcast on NBC February 8 and 15. Val Kilmer also appears as the Mongoose, an agent of a secret organization staging a coup from within the American government. CBR News spoke with producer Jay Firestone of Prodigy Pictures about bringing the renowned comic book to TV.

"It's a bit ‘Bourne Identity,’ it's a bit ‘Manchurian Candidate,’" Firestone told CBR. The television miniseries begins with the assassination of Sally Sheridan, the first female president of the United States. A man tattooed with the roman numeral XIII appears to have pulled the trigger, but he has no memory of this event or anything else about his life. On the run from both the U.S. government and those behind the conspiracy of which he may or may not be a part, XIII must uncover the truth about his own identity to save America from a much greater threat.

The television version of "XIII" is co-produced by Firestone's Prodigy Pictures, which is based in Canada, and Cipango, a French company. The series premiered in France late last year. "The French love American stories," Firestone said. "There's actually a trend more and more toward American stories being more successful in Europe. There were a few years there where countries wanted domestic programming, and were doing very domestic shows, but were not getting the audiences that top American shows did. In this case, we had a combination of the two: we had a well-known Belgian story but with an American storyline.

"We brought in some writers and producers who had worked on a lot of American shows, ‘CSI,’ and ‘24,’ and sort of knew the genre, and they all got inspired by it, as well. We spent a couple years developing a great script, and once we had that we had everybody excited."
As with any adaptation from one medium to another, Firestone and his team found themselves changing some aspects of the original comic book story to fit the four-hour miniseries format. One notable change, though, was casting the American president, whose assassination kicks off the story. In the comics, the President was a man. In the “XIII” TV miniseries, the President is a woman. With the recent inauguration of America's first African-American president, it may be easy to forget that very recently it would have seemed more likely that the country would instead be marking the election of its first female commander-in-chief. But Firestone said that while many aspects of "XIII" do reflect the current political culture, the inclusion of a female president was merely a matter of "updating the concept.” "We just thought it was a fun idea," the producer said.

Firestone did note, though, that "XIII" fits very well with the current international attention on the American political stage, and with a lot of perceptions about the country's standing in the world. "It's incredibly timely. A lot of people actually believe that things that are significant elements of our story are actually going on. We're not speculating on whether they're true or not," he laughed. "But a lot of people believe it."


CBR have lots more on this along with many photos.

GI Joe - Superbowl TV Spot

Super Bowl spot for G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. This is the full TV spot, not the Entertainment Tonight highlights.

It actually doesn't look too bad as long as you remember G.I. Joe toys are aimed at kids. Looks like lots of action (Eiffel Tower collapsing looks good), cool ninjas and foxy ladies, with guns and fast chases.
