A fella named Echsenschnitter has uploaded scenes from the unrated workprint of Hard Target to YouTube -- check 'em out! VIOLENT CONTENT, DUH.
He also uploaded the deleted love scene, which I'm sure you're clever enough to find for yourself. After all, you're clever enough to come here, am I right! Am I right! I'm right. Darn tootin'.

IGN has a new hands-on preview of Stranglehold. I don't know how I feel about all of the swinging from chandeliers and pterodactyls, but whatever!

Holy geeze! This snuck up on me!
I'll be placing my order at Amazon.co.uk just in time to not get it for Christmas. (And does that cover fit right in around here or what?) If you pick it up, you might also want HKL's The Killer, Tiger on Beat, Full Contact, Bullet in the Head, or the OH CRAP THAT'S CHEAP collection that includes The Killer, Bullet in the Head, and Once a Thief in one tidy package! (Whether the DVDs in the package differ from the versions sold individually, I don't know, so buyer beware!)
Also be aware of two upcoming HKL releases:
I'll definitely be picking up Last Hurrah for Chivalry. It's a good'n. And Hand of Death, well, it has a guy named Zorro in it.
Also of interest -- a Chance Boudreaux action figure! (Registration required to view images.) Close your eyes, 'cause it's really gonna punch your snake:
(By talented sculptor and all around nice fella Reggie.) I must say, I'm impressed. Why, I might even go so far as to say it make jackrabbit slap de bear.
And finally, new Curse of the Golden Flower trailer! I myself have not watched it because I do not need to be convinced that I want to see a Zhang Yimou movie that stars Chow Yun-freaking-fat. Pssssyched!!!

The shirt mentioned back in December has apparently gone into production, and is up for sale on eBay. Take a gander at the final product:
Not cheap!
Also, while scouring my hard drive I discovered these things I'd made when Angelfire declared we could make our own 404 error pages to replace their painfully bad default ones. And then I discovered that's a Premium feature. Bastards. Anyway, I think the black one's pretty funny, even if it demonstrates that I'm still computer illiterate after all these years (did I make "LAN router" up?). In the first one I think Van Damme ended up looking like Jar Jar Binks, which is strangely appropriate. Enjoy.

Behold, the very first Hard Target wallpaper ever! Or so I would imagine.
Site Update - May 8th, 2006 Deep Discount DVD is having a buy 2 get 1 free $10 DVD sale, and among the eligible titles are Woo's Broken Arrow, CYF's Anna and the King, Li's Kiss of the Dragon (which is really underrated), and King's Love is a Many Splendored Thing. Ha ha, just kiddin'. Well no, I mean, it is eligible, but you don't want it, do ya? Noooo. Did you know that From Hell was apparently released in a two-disc special edition? And yet Harry and the Hendersons hasn't even gotten a barebones release. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
(There really are some other great titles there. Miller's Crossing, Raising Arizona, Barton Fink, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Alien & Aliens, Edward Scissorhands, Last of the Mohicans, and, uh, Solaris and Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. Well I like 'em.)

New wallpaper! I bet you've been wondering when I'd get around to the rice, eh? Eh? Wondering? Often? Eh? Yeah. I thought so.
Check it out with all the others @ the wallpaper page. But you really should stop sitting around wondering about my wallpaper plans.

IGN has video, screens and details on that John Woo/Chow Yun-fat videogame sequel to Hard-Boiled, Stranglehold. IGN also has news of online multiplayer features (vehicles!). The developer's previous project was Psi-Ops which, for anyone who didn't play it, was one of the better times I've had recently with a video game. I think we're in good hands (as long as they don't pull any of that Dead to Rights/True Crime/Path of Neo lock-on reticle crap).

My Hotmail account lapsed long ago, so if anyone wants to contact me for whatever reason, pingpingpeowww@gmail.com is the place to do it. Pretty neat address, huh? It was either that or "mulletproofbonk." I think I made the right decision.
Check out this t-shirt design I found from GMTEE T-Shirts -
They changed the face to protect the innocent, but it's still pretty neato, and they've got lots of other cool Asian tees available. Check them out, but if you want that shirt, you're going to have to participate in the design contest and vote for it!
