Come on… it’s Christmas. You knew you were going to get a Halo themed post as a present ((sidenote: heading back to DC over the next two days so until I’m settled I won’t have internet))!

Maybe I should just start a blog called “Pictures of Kristen Bell in a Bikini” because man I just can’t help posting them. This is from “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” the new Judd Aptow movie that comes out in May. It’s also written and co-stars Jason Segel, so this is definitely a movie I’m seeing in the theater. You can watch the trailer here.

I’ve been playing “Assassin’s Creed” (an Xbox game) and its meh. The first hour of it is great, but then it gets really repetitive. If any of you have ever played “Spider-Man 2” and remember the “stop the muggings” or “get the balloon” task then you’ll know exactly what I mean when I say “really repetitive.”

The GREAT thing about the game is that Kristen Bell does voice over work in it, however her scenes are few and far between (The pic above is from Bell’s work on “Heroes” and the one below is an in-game screen shot of Assassin’s Creed).

Wow. Got to see “Stardust” since it’s out on video. I was supposed to see it last summer with someone but there was drama and we never made it to the theater. So I was super excited to watch it. It completely met my expectations. If you’re a fan of fantasy, romantic-comedies, or Neil Gaimen then definitely check out “Stardust.”

I was trying to find a picture of “Power Pack” and I ran across this interesting Jeff Smith comic strip (click the pic above to see the full comic). In it he talks about his experience on the day of 9/11.

It’s Friday so here is your weekly dose of Edit. This pic was taken like two weeks ago. I was playing “Halo” and stopped to go take a shower. When I got back, Edit was passed-out in my spot on the couch. The weird thing was that even though she was sleeping, her eyes were open.

Movie stills from “Hellboy II” are popping up all over the internet. I’m too lazy to post the 15-20 pics that were leaked, but if you google they are easy to find.

Stan Lee is telling the press that Marvel is planning a “Power Pack” movie.

“They’ve been talking about…now they’re not working on it but they have been discussing whether to do it–Power Pack.”

The Power Pack is the first team of preteen superheroes ever in the Marvel Universe and first appeared in their own comic book series in 1984. The series lasted a little over the year, but recenty its become an all-age book with nonstop crossovers with all the major Marvel Characters.

Sacha Cohen announced today that he will no longer appear as Borat or Ali G.

“When I was being Ali G and Borat I was in character sometimes 14 hours a day and I came to love them, so admitting I am never going to play them again is quite a sad thing. It is like saying goodbye to a loved one. It is hard, and the problem with success, although it’s fantastic, is that every new person who sees the Borat movie is one less person I `get’ with Borat again, so it’s a kind of self-defeating form, really.”

Either this is some master scheme (remember “Punk’d” saying it was canceled but then coming back for like three more seasons?) or the characters really are dead.

Sci-Fi announced today that “Stargate: The Ark of Truth,” the first of two direct-to-video movies based on the long-running “Stargate: SG-1″ TV series, will debut March 11 on DVD.

Don Vito was court ordered to not appear as “Don Vito” for ten years and is receiving a life probation after being convicted as a child sex assault charges. He must also receive mental health evaluations and undergo drug/alcohol treatment. The 51-year-old Margera was convicted on two counts of sexual assault on a child, after he groped three girls, ages 12 to 14 at an autograph signing in a Colorado skate park.

This really doesn’t surprise me since he was a major creep when I interviewed him for Ocean City Today.

Here’s a riddle for you: Name an eleven lettered word that everyone pronounces incorrectly. (Read on …)

This is a crazy art-project using found items. Dutch artist Theo Jansen made this from lemonade bottles and plastic tubes. The crazy part is that it WALKS. Even crazier is that its “brain” is made of bottles so that if there is a storm, the water causes it to lower its sails and dig into the ground. Videos and more pics are posted here.

Around eight movie-related promotional commercials are scheduled to air during February’s Super Bowl XLII for a record $2.7 million-$3 million per 30-second spot reports Variety.

Paramount and Marvel’s “Iron Man”, Sony’s Will Smith actioner “Hancock”, Adam Sandler comedy “You Don’t Mess With the Zohan”, and New Line’s Will Ferrell comedy “Semi-Pro” are all confirmed to be airing promos during the game. Universal, Warner Bros. and Fox also have bought time in the game but declined to disclose which films they would push. Disney is still considering which movies to offer, though it’s likely to be a choice between “Wall-E” and “Prince Caspian.”
Paramount will also do a promo for the comedy “Drillbit Taylor” during the pre or post-game show.
