24 Will Have Another Past Character Return
24 has never shied away from reintroducing characters from previous seasons. At the rate they die or turn sides it is inevitable that they have to refresh or tie them into previous storylines. Hell last year they brought back a guy who had been killed off so nothing can come as a surprise anymore. With the premiere of 24 coming on January 17th more details on the season are making their way out. One of my favorite characters from earlier on in 24 will be back for season eight. This could ...

This Is It Five Day Results
The five day estimates are in for This Is It and the disappointing performance at the box office continues. After opening with only the 7.4 million from the opening day which included Tuesday night showings, the estimate for the five day period is 32.4 million. The movie collected a decent but unspectacular 21.3 million over the weekend. Worldwide the film has proven more successful pulling in 101 million since release. That is not anywhere near the 250 million predicted by AEG but still ...

The Line Drive 11/1/09
The first look at EA MMA will come during the November 7th Strikeforce event on CBS. The game will be used to preview each fight before they begin. The original first screenshot for EA MMA, which was first found and scanned from Sports Illustrated, can now be found in the screenshot gallery. While I generally don't cover WWE games it is worth noting that the license has run out for THQ and the period to extend it has now been pushed back to the end of the year. Presumably WWE ...

EA Strikes Back With New Blog
Earlier this week controversy arose when a 2K Sports representative criticized the way the NBA Live 10 patch was being received. Rather than respond directly to that statement it seems that EA Sports has taken another approach. With the use of their blog they are now attempting to spread the perception that NBA 2K10 has fallen off this year due consumer reaction to the problems with the game. You can check out the posting that went up earlier today here. This is the first time where compe...

Studios May Force DVD Sales Only Period
Responding to continued drops in DVD sales, movie studios are apparently considering a multi-week window where DVD and Blu-ray copies would only be available for purchase. After that time was up the movies would then be available for rental. Are people passing on buying DVDs because they can just rent them?
