This year has seen an unbelievable amount of geek-related media turned big screen masterpiece. The Dark Knight, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Hellboy 2: The Golden Army (though I wouldn’t call this one a masterpiece) - most of which have earned their place in the top 250 films of all time, according to IMDB. Not to mention the big ones of the past; Transformers, V for Vendetta, Sin City and 300.

A lot of people have already been bagging this film, months before it has even come out. Mostly because of the casting choices and the CG daemons we see in the trailer that bare no relevance to the original game. Fair enough… but I personally can’t wait to see it. The trailer blew me away - and though I can’t see any logical reason why Ludacris would be cast in this film at all, let alone as Jim Bravura, I’m now 100% convinced that Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis can pull of Max Payne and Mona Sax respectively. As long as she doesn’t sound like Meg from Family Guy.

Trent Reznor has never ceased to amaze me with his extremely tight connection with his fanbase and what he gives back to them for their continual support. Today, he gives us a brand new, DRM-free Nine Inch Nails album absolutely free of charge and available for download directly from nin.com. The album was released an hour and a half before this post, and I’ve just finished hearing it for my second time.

So I went and saw Iron Man on it’s opening night. Wow. I was impressed more than I expected to be by this film. Robert Downey jr’s performance was perfect for the character and the film’s depiction of Iron Man was spot-on with accuracy in the adaptation from the comic.
