Current Mood: Check this out

A few hours ago Kristen Bell posted on twitter that she was interested in doing a Veronica Mars movie, a few minutes later she followed up with this tweet: “ok i have been asked to ask you guys to say #veronicamars so it can go in the hot topics part? i think i understand this- wanna do it?”

It took about an hour for it to become one of twitters trending topics.

Question: Do you think the use of Twitter has the power to get movies made?

Video Games – E3 2009 – Attack of the Show

Parry Gripp of Nerf Herder celebrated Attack of the Show’s 1000th episode by making a special music video called Video Game Girl. I love geeky music videos.

Funny story- A few years ago I used to run a video game department, most customers didn’t know my name so they just called me the video game girl. I use that name for aim and twitter (and many other gaming females use it), so awesome.

By the way if you have twitter you can follow me @ Videogamegirl

Nike Ms. Piggy Dunks

While I collect lots of sneakers I rarely post about them, I’m not sure why… Anyway, these kicks are a mix of suade and leather but more importantly they are the Ms. Piggy edition. I can only assume they are named after the muppet, and The Muppets are awesome therefor I like these sneakers. See how my logic works?

You can purchase them here.

I still haven’t seen Transformers 2, but being that this is a fun looking horror flick I will go see this when it’s released in theaters on September 18th.

The movie also has Lilly and Beaver from Veronica Mars in it.

Resident Evil: Afterlife coming next year

2009-07-06T15:56:00Z

While I am a huge fan of the video game series I’m not the biggest fan of the Resident Evil movies. I thought the first RE movie was entertaining but went downhill with Apocalypse and Extinction. With not really liking the last two movies, and knowing Paul W.S. Anderson is writing the script for this one I should fear what is going to come of Afterlife and vow to boycott it now… but I won’t.

At the end of Extinction they showed an Umbrella station in Tokyo, and Albert Wesker. Wesker is one of my favorite characters in the series, and even though there is a 95% chance that the movie is going to focus around an overly powered made up never before seen in the game character played by Mila Jovovich I will still sit through it just to see Wesker.

Resident Evil: Afterlife hits theaters in September 2010.
