There is one thing missing from the above Ghostbusters poster. Can you figure it out? That’s right, there is no Winston Zeddmore involved in any way, shape, or form on that sheet. It doesn’t even have “starring Ernie Hudson” written anywhere on there.

Not many people know this, but Winston Zeddmore is actually the fourth Ghostbuster. You wouldn’t know that, considering he’s not on the movie posters. Okay, to be fair he is on the official one sheet of Ghostbusters II, but he wasn’t included on the DVD release of the movie. Also, if you have ever caught the movie on TV before, like on Comedy Central, you’ll notice he gets cropped out of the frame quite often. If there is ever a shot that shows all four Ghostbusters, they’ll usually choose to crop the image where Winston is normally standing.

I saw this over at Coldhardflash.com and wanted to share. I’m thinking there’s a bit more at work here than just Flash (especially in the compositing), but its a really nice piece o’ animation with some really nice design that reminds me of The Proud Family. I dig this lots!

The Zombie Invasion Cometh

I like stuff about zombies. Sure, vampires are cool and I guess werewolves have their moments (few and far between). There’s just something about zombies that gets me where it counts. I mean, is it so unthinkable that a virus exists that could turn humans into mindless, flesh-eating monsters? I’m sure there’s some military research program out there devoted to creating a biological “zombie bomb”, I mean look at all the other weird shit they come up with.

Anyway, since Halloween is right around the corner, I’ve compiled a list of my favorite zombie related movies, books and video games. I hope you enjoy it and maybe discover something new. In no particular order…

The final Friday of October is upon us. Do you know what that means?
Since we didn’t get many horror movies this month, we just get the main one that started 4 years ago. Yes, there has been one every October for the last 4 years. It’s the new horror franchise. And in competition is a family comedy. Weird.

Saw IV

Saw IV – Jigsaw is now dead. But he didn’t go out without setting up a final (yeah right) trap. He still haunts the living that he feels don’t appreciate the life they are given. It picks up with a man who must find his daughter and escape a building before they both die.

ta_day7_smallerTony is back on 24, and the producers of the show aren’t keeping it a secret. This is their big draw to the latest day in Jack Bauer’s life, and without a doubt their attempt to try and win back some of the audience that they lost last year thanks to the success of Heroes and the fact that Day 6 just wasn’t up to snuff.

If you haven’t had a chance to catch the promo for Day 7 of 24, then you can do so after the jump.

How do you take one of the sleekest pieces of technology ever created, and turn it into a big rubber piece of shit? Simple, put it into the hands of dopey consumers. Thanks to the fact that these people seem to have about as much self control as a dog with rabies, our fancy Wii controllers now look like the following abomination:

Zack & Wiki is out today

Zack & Wiki

I don’t normally comment on game releases, but I thought I’d throw this one out there just to help spread some awareness. Today marks the release of Capcom’s original title for the Nintendo Wii, Zack and Wiki: Quest for Barbaros’ Treasure.

Okay, I’m not going to dance around it, it has got to have one of the worst names in recent history. It’s just a terrible, terrible name. Someone at Capcom was clearly confused and had no idea how to market this thing.
