Trailer Park: Rango
How great is that new Rango trailer? The Gore Verbinski-directed and Johnny Cage-starring furry friends CG animated flick seems fairly run-of-the-mill story-wise, but looks absolutely gorgeous.

After the horrible batch of 3D and animated trailers attached to Toy Story 3, seeing something as beautifully composed as this was definitely refreshing. The design is great and I love Depp’s lizard’s gangly features – he feels like he’s straight out of a Ralph Steadman painting and I swear he’s wearing a Hunter S. Thompson-esque shirt. I’d wager on at least one Fear and Loathing-referencing scene with the lizard wearing aviators and munching on a cigarette holder.
There are some extraordinarily trippy shots in this trailer, best seen on a humongous screen. Seeing this was the best part of going to see The Last Airbender on Friday.

Absolutely Gorgeous CG Deus Ex 3 Trailer
Here’s your daily reminder that E3 is coming up, along with all the requisite sexy trailers of games you won’t be playing for at least a year.
Is there a specific term for the synthy, future-y music used in Deus Ex, Mass Effect et al? Because I really can’t get enough of it.
PROS: protagonist’s fashion sense, stealth cloaky stuff, weapons and crap coming out of arms
CONS: silly newscaster’s future-victorian chic
Deus Ex: Human Revolution will be coming to PS3, 360 and PC sometime in 2011, which is incredibly depressing.
My Desk Is 8-bit by Alex Varanese
You know that stop-motion classic NES video that’s been making the rounds on the internets?
I can only take so many cute iPhone gags and I am an avid opponent of rampant Nintendo nostalgia (I can’t tell you how much I loathe the Zelda and Metroid franchises and everyone else’s UNDYING DEVOTION to them).
This, however, is gorgeous and far superior.
Enjoy:

Shrek Forever After Box Office Opening Disappoints, DreamWorks Stock Drops
DreamWorks’ stock plunged more than 13% this week after the very 3D and very expensive Shrek 4: Endgame stumbled at the box office this weekend. The weekend totals were just a hair over $70 million, the lowest opening for the franchise since the first Shrek. You know, Shrek, that movie that ended up raking in nearly $500 domestic + foreign. Shrek 4: The Revenge also cost nearly $100 million more than the original. Those numbers are even more galling when you consider the inflated 3D ticket prices and the panic over the possibility of crossing the $20 ticket threshold.
DreamWorks’ earlier animated effort this year, How to Train Your Dragon, managed via word-of-mouth READ MORE!
