The latest trailer for the upcoming Watchmen film is online, and you can view it HERE.

This trailer is certainly a lot more story-centric than the previous trailer, which left anyone who hasn’t read the comic in a state of complete confusion. Also it has a Muse song. Instant win? I think so.

This would be interesting, and because it’s HBO doing it - I believe it could turn out quite good. Like a poor man’s entourage. But he’s still a tool.

Anthony Kiedis – shirt-fearing frontman of Red Hot Chili Peppers and hard-luck autobiographer – is said to be turning his memoir Scar Tissue into an HBO series. The channel is renowned for its big-budget and high-quality TV productions, such as The Sopranos, The Wire, Oz and Deadwood.

According to The Guardian, Kiedis is developing the show with producers Marc Abrams and Michael Benson. “The projected series will focus on Kiedis’s unconventional early life in Los Angeles, living with his father Spider, a drug dealer to rock stars on Sunset Strip,” reports the paper. The reaction to the Scar Tissue book was decidedly mixed. Some praised its honesty and insight, while others dismissed it as self-indulgent drudgery. Regardless, the TV series is set to be more “offbeat comedy” than drug-addled drama.

“I love mulling over all this raw material,” Kiedis told Daily Variety. “[My father is] into it too He sees it as our last great hurrah. For us to be reconnecting to construct these memories – the women and the rock bands and the doormen of these clubs – is exciting.”

How could there actually be a monopoly movie? I mean there is really no plot. Also Ridley Scott wants to do it. OH DEAR.

Movie will fail unless Jim Carrey is the steam iron…

Genre darling Ridley Scott is going to bring to life the famous monocle man in a film adaptation of the famous Hasbro board game Monopoly. Yes, you heard me right — they are making a movie about the board game Monopoly. Not only that, but Scott will be sourcing from his past work directing Blade Runner to give the overall film a futuristic feel. So in the future of Monopoly, will the boot fly?

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Scott is attached to the film and plans on making his Monopoly movie have a little glimmer of tomorrow.

Ridley Scott, who has been attached as a producer on “Monopoly” and has been mentioned as a possible director, is now officially attached to helm the project, with an eye toward giving it a futuristic sheen along the lines of his iconic “Blade Runner.”

Not only are we getting the real estate take-over movie, but Hasbro is working with Universal on a Ouija Board movie, as well as a Battleship flick. Wow, have we really fallen into an imagination depression so low that we have to find movies in crappy board games? And if so, why aren’t we reaching for the good board games? Girl Talk alone had enough sad girl-shaming moments ripe for a classic horror flick.

Where have we been? We’ve gone on one of our disappearances again.

It’s that exam time of the year, where basically time to get onto MG cannot be found. However we’ll be making some posts soon, once seph watches a few more films and I actually find someone worthy of person of the week (Barack Obama has already won it, so he can’t win again!) and wanker of the week.

Stay tuned.

Chris Hill

Poor Chris - this is his solution for climate change:

So I’ve finished my 3 minute video project for school. Was hell of a lot of fun making this, I hope you guys have fun watching it. The video may feature Seph and Spence from the MG team…

So I went for an adventure to the pictures the other day, to see the new Coen Brothers’ film “Burn After Reading”.

It was brilliant, George Clooney, Brad Pitt and John Malcovich all gave brilliant performances and the whole film was tense and kept slapping you in the face. It was also quite humorous, which gave it quite an interesting mix. I recommend it to anyone willing to spill a few dollars. Take a friend with you. Buy a large coke. Drink it during the film. (You don’t have to but it may have contributed to the enjoyment of my experience).

I tagged this in review. Funny that, as I don’t do reviews of films. I mean is a paragraph saying that a few actors were awesome mean that it’s a review? I think it does. I just wanted to stamp on Seph’s territory

Gemma Arterton

Ok so MG has been a gone missing again over the past few days. But we’re going to make it up to by giving our first Person of the Week award (we think) to a FEMALE! That’s amazing. Is it true that females haven’t done much this year? Or are the team at Master Giraffe just a bunch of sexist nerds?

However I must point out that our newest MG member, Ren, who is yet to make her MG debut, may have been the one with the idea for this week’s winner - and yes she’s a female.

No, we’re not giving her the award because she’s pretty. She’s person of the week because she once had 2 extra fingers on each hand. That’s awesome. What’s even better is that she admitted it and has no shame at all about it.

After undergoing an operation to have them removed, she still has bumpy scars as remainders of her extra digits.

The extra fingers were ‘tied’, which causes them to fall off naturally.

She tells Esquire magazine: ‘It’s my little oddity that I’m really proud of. It makes me different.’

Earlier this year, she revealed she was also born with a crumpled ear, which was corrected through surgery.

She said: ‘I was born with lots of deformities.’

Man, she should have kept those fingers. They would have been useful for many daily activities such as using video console controllers, speed texting and winning ‘how many cheezels can I fit on my fingers’ competitions.

Quantum of Solace anyone?

First official poster.

Honestly. I think Hollywood is actually conspiring to destroy my childhood completely.

So the official live action adaptation of Tekken has been in production for quite some time, with apparently fuck all media coverage since every time I bring it up, most people go “What? A tekken movie?”

In any case, I think it’s going to suck a great big bag of balls. Here’s a picture of Cung Le who confirmed recently that he’ll be portraying Law in the upcoming film. Oh dear.
