2 Things

First, just wanted to encourage everyone to donate to the Smash Bros: Brawl fund. I know we had all talked about chipping in previously, but now the chips are down and it's time to see money and mouths are in the same places. I figure if everyone gives $10, then I don't end up paying more than about $15, which sounds about fair to me.

For those of you who haven't played it yet (which is everyone except me and Herch) it ROXXORS! We spent last Sunday playing the adventure mode in 2 player mode. We played for about 3 hours, on top of the 2 or 3 hours that Josh B and I played on Friday, and we're still not half way through the adventure.

And yes, there were at least two cut scenes where Matt and I agreed that Josh K. would pee his pants. We'll have to see if we can go back and replay them somehow.

Second, check out this picture and see if you can tell me what made me decide it was worth the screencapture. To remove the obvious guess, it has nothing to do with the big picture of Sonic.



Oh, and one more thing: Anyone know whose turn it is to buy pizza?

A BONE MOVIE!

Source: Movieweb.com - Saturday, March 08, 2008Warner Bros. has picked up rights to Bone, the acclaimed independent comic book series from artist Jeff Smith. Dan Lin will produce, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The fantasy series followed three cousins from the Bone family who are small, white and bald humanlike creatures with big noses. The trio are run out of their hometown and find themselves in a mysterious valley where they are separated and hunted by other creatures. They are taken in by a girl named Thorn and her grandmother, and find out that the valley is threatened by an evil force called the Lord of the Locusts.
The series ran irregularly from 1991-2004. Scholastic has been publishing the collected stories in graphic novel format since 2005, selling more than 1 million copies so far.
An animated version was in development at Nickelodeon Films but fell through, partly because Smith was displeased that the studio was aiming it for kids and wanted the film to include pop songs.
A decision on what kind of format Bone should take -- live-action or animated or both -- will be based on filmmaker meetings.


I really, really, really, REALLY, REALLY hope that it's going to be cell animated!!!! But it probubly won't. SIGH
