Fun with Photoshop: Robotech 2 for the NES

Another fake game box made with Photoshop, this time based on Robotech 2: The Sentinels the sequel to the classic animated series. Robotech was made using 3 anime series that had nothing in common and stitched together in the U.S. The series was so successful that a sequel was planned (using original animation) but never happened in animation (the animated scenes were edited into a movie). But what if it was released? It would most likely have gotten a NES game.

If you have a suggestion for a fake NES game box, leave a comment with the details. I'll try to post a new game box every Friday.

New Batman v Superman photo!

Set photographer Clay Enos released this picture via his twitter account. Have to say, Ben Affleck looks the part and judging by his last movies (Argo was excellent) he can act it as well. My only concern about this movie is the amount of characters the studio wants to cram into. The have 2 characters popular enough to carry a movie about them sitting in a food court for an hour and a half, you don't need more people to make a story more interesting. Studios should stop trying to imitate Marvel Studio by putting a lot of characters in 1 movie without properly introducing them.

Guardian of the Galaxy figures for Disney Infinity

It's been years but still is hard to believe that Marvel is owned by Disney. A set of Guardians of the Galaxy figures for the popular Disney Infinity game (it's like Skylanders) will come out for the 2.0 update. The figures look petty sweet to put on a desk or shelve. Now, seriously, where is the X-Men set? We have an Avengers set, a Spider-Man, a Guardians of the Galaxy set and no X-Men (yeah, not even Wolverine). A lot of Marvel's most popular characters are members of the X-Men. I hope they released a set of Marvel's Merry Mutants or at least sell them individually.

Amazing Spider-Man 3 future

 Source.
After Amazing Spider-Man 2, was panned by critics, did not perform as expected at the box office (still made money) and the loss of writer Roberto Orci things didn't look well for the third installment of the franchise, but according to Sony, Amazing Spider-Man 3 will be released... in 2018(?). The Sinister Six movie will be released (apparently) in November 2016 (and who knows what will happen to the Venom spin-off)

Amazing 2 was not a great movie, it was OK. I don't feel like Mark Webb (the director) had the freedom he needed to tell his story. Sony was obsessed with the idea of having a "cinematic universe" of their own and (in what I think it happened) keep forcing characters and plot points until the movie turn into a mess. Much like what happened with Sam Raimi in the third Spidey film. 

Could this be the end of the Amazing Spider-Man franchise? Who knows. We have to wait and see if Mark Webb and Andrew Garfield return. Four years seem like a lot of time but that ow much we waited for The Dark Knight Rises. But the fact that the Sinister Six movie will come out 2 years before Amazing 3 could be a problem if it under performs.

Ugliest Ad I have ever seen!

I was watching videos on YouTube and this monstrosity appeared. It looks like something from an Evil Dead movie on steroids (First pump some iron, then swallow souls). I don't know but with those faces I have my doubts about trusting "1 weird tip".
