One of Jet Li's newest films is this gritty realization of war in ancient china. The film also stars Andy Lau and Takeshi Kaneshiro. Jet Li is amoung good company. Today we bring you the recently released one sheet poster set and the official trailer.
No sooner had Halo 3 hit stores yesterday, then did the stories of people claiming to get the game early. Get this, every single report I have heard now (almost a dozen) were from GAMESTOP or EBGAMES stores. You'll note that we recently told you of what may happen to the employee who sells it, let alone even opens the box.
And you have to admit, with posts like the one below from Craig's List, and all the hype, it is a pretty tempting situation to be in.

Stay tuned for more as this breaks!
**UPDATE 9/20** I have removed the video because I believe WBKO and Chris' apologies are sincere.
http://rated-m.blogspot.com/2007/09/wbko-and-chris-allen-formally-apologize.html
I mostly stick to entertainment on this site, however this story has caught my attention, so I thought I'd share it with you.
"A local Weatherman in Bowling Green, Kentucky simulates drinking breast milk. WBKO-TV's Chris Allen then licks and grabs a fake boob. Sexual...all obscenity/harassment seems to be accepted and just a "laugh" at Gray Television, Inc."
This was in the tag of the original video file. Now I live in the area, and watch the show every day. I personally don't think this was aired. However, as a news person, he should know better than to do this stuff ON CAMERA. After all, WBKO is an ABC affiliate.
We do not know who leaked this video, but the comment in the tag about sexual obscenity and harassment leads me to believe it is an internal link...someone who has experienced that sort of thing.
So here is the controversial video in question. What do you think? Do you think it was funny? Offensive? Innapropriate? Sound off in the comments section!
Today we bring you the teaser poster for the upcoming James Cameron EPIC Avatar. Our sources have confirmed this as the official one-sheet teaser.
Our source wouldn't comment on the next photo, a leaked photo of the alien species from Avatar. The image may look distorted because of the stereo-style 3D effect the film is shot in.
We have also confirmed that James Cameron will be shooting in New Zealand for 31 days, starting in October. Unfortunately this will be shot on a closed set, on a sound stage. We still believe some stuff will leak out. it always does. And when it does, we give it to you.
Avatar comes out in 2009.
Today we bring you this collection of teaser posters, set photos and stills from the upcoming blockbuster "The Dark Knight".
As of today, gamers who reserve Call of Duty 4 for the XBOX 360 at GameStop or EBGames will receive a code to get into the beta. If you have reserved the game previously, just go remind them you want your code.
The beta is a lot of fun, and will definately serve to hype you up for November.
Stores nationwide should have received their codes from Activision as of today. So go get yours already!
**UPDATE**
I've double checked, and as of right now it is just the brick and mortar stores. Each store received a pack of slips each with an individual code on it, and with about 100-150 codes per pack.
So it's safe to say these are available for a limited time only.
As promised, here is the much talked about Britney Spears comeback performance from last night's VMA awards.
Enjoy, and let us know what YOU think!
We have learned that the XBOX 360 version of Tony Hawk's Proving Ground will come with a 5 song demo of Guitar Hero III. Below are the songs included:
Hit Me With Your Best Shot
Lay Down
Evenflow
Rock You Like A Hurricane
The Metal
This demo is being advertised as XBOX 360 only, and is included on the game disk.
It sounds like a cheap attempt to sell one product by promising another...much like Crackdown and the Halo 3 Beta...
Anyways, this is from the current GameStop and EBGames marketing, which started going up yesterday. The white square next to the song names is the artist names, but they had to be whited out because the original artist won't be singing them.
**UPDATED 9/14** It's leaking out already!
http://rated-m.blogspot.com/2007/09/halo-3-ships-and-already-some-claim-to.html
In a recent store E-Mail sent out to all GameStop and EBGames locations in the US and territories, GameStop revealed some juicy nuggets of info regarding how Halo 3 will be shipped...and what will happen if the boxes are opened early.
According to the E-Mail, Halo 3 begins making it's way to stores as early as September 13th. By September 18th, all retail stores should have their copies. Not a huge surprise here though. Who DIDN'T expect this game to ship early?
The different versions will ship separately in boxes that don't say Halo anywhere on them. The E-Mail describes what the boxes will look like however, saying they will have distinctive stickers to point them out. I believe the box housing the Legendary has a sticker that mentions Helmets for example.
But here is the news worthy part. With leaks recently of Bioshock and Stranglehold for the 360 by retail chains, GameStop has decided to impose strict penalties for employees who open the shipping cartons before the midnight launch. If you break the tape, even if by accident, you will be fired on the spot. It doesn't matter if you are an hourly peon or the store manager...or even the district manager. If you break the tape, you will be fired.
I can't say I blame the organization for doing this, though I felt the accidental thing was a bit too far. I mean accidents happen, right? And just because you accidentally break the tape on the shipping carton doesn't mean you're gonna sell the game early, right? So I called GameStop corporate, and the lady on the other end confirmed just that. Even accidental cases of breaking the tape will be met with firing.
So there you have it. If you happen to get a copy this week, cause you know, they "fall off the truck" sometimes, I probably wouldn't play on Live. As tempting as it sounds, you may get a 9999 year ban for something that is the retailer/shipper's fault.
Stay tuned for more as this breaks!
