The Top 10 Hip-Hop Songs that Sampled a Video Game

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

Hip-hop and video games have always had a symbiotic relationship whether it was rappers rapping about beating each other down in NBA Live, participating in Madden and Street Fighter tournaments or actually sampling game music for their tracks. Songs that only had soundbites, like a “Fatality!” or a Mario coin drop, weren’t considered.

There isn't really a methodology to this except I researched and tried to find as many hip-hop songs that I could that sampled a video game (Thanks to HaterPlayer and the Digital Gangsters for their help!). Songs that only had…

‘Ghostbusters’ Cast To Mentor Next-Gen of Ghostbusters in G3

Monday, September 8th, 2008

But theres also been talk that Ghostbusters 3 would really center on the next generation of ghostbusters, possibly even played by some of the young actors who regularly appear in the Judd Apatow films.

While I’d normally be rolling my eyes at a next-gen scenario, I think bringing the original four stars together will any of Apatow’s gang is not only a dream, but pure genius. A G3 like that is definitely something…

‘Voltron’ Movie To Take A Page From ‘300′

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

Apparently one of the big problems was how much it would cost (obviously; its freakin Voltron) and thats what kept holding it back. The solution: green screen! But of course. In order to have a more “moderate” budget, the studios will take the path paved by 300 and hope to achieve Transformers success.

The script is written by Justin Marks (recently mentioned in our New He-Man Is A Batman Begins-ification story), who is currently a pretty popular writer, especially in the fanboy realms. Marks describes the Voltron…

Why Star Wars: The Clone Wars Wont Sound Familiar

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

With Star Wars: The Clone Wars only days away now, George Lucas is doing the rounds all over the place, explaining this and that, and providing the press with a stream of quotes and information. The latest piece of news concerns why Lucas hasnt brought back the actors who portrayed the characters in the Star Wars prequels.

And I am in complete agreement with Lucas about not need the actors for The Clone Wars. He isnt just pulling a fast-one after the fact; you simply dont need the actors to come back. You can pretty much always find someone who can do a…

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

A dead dream is a tragic sight, and in the often-frivolous world of entertainment, a dead dream is best embodied by those unfortunate project that never see the light of day. And there are a lot of dead dreams out there, moldering in warehouses, vaults, and half-corrupted hard drives.

Thats where the Broken movie comes in. It collects four music videos based on album tracks and bookends them with spliced-up scenes of torture and murder. Adding to the snuff-film notoriety of it all, the movies only available in…
