This link was posted on a forum I frequent. Most people were appalled at the kind of movie this promotional teaser trailer hinted at: an action-comedy with all our favourite beloved characters taken way out of context. I smell another Jean-Claude Van Damme-style "Street Fighter" ...I think Hollywood has farted again.
DOA Teaser @ Comingsoon.net
I guess it's the kind of movie non-fans might enjoy... Personally I would've preferred a story about my personal favourite, Kasumi as the shinobi (runaway ninja) evading capture by her former masters, etc... and perhaps encountering all the other fighters along the way. Maybe a final showdown in the end against her estranged sister, Ayane. Plus throw in a cameo of Ninja Gaiden's Ryu Hayabusa, who always seemed to me was a kindred spirit to Kasumi.
But looks like I'll need to settle for this Charlie's Angels drivel.
Speaking of DOA tho, I booted up my old Xbox last night. I couldn't help some gaming after this week's non-stop media coverage of the 360 launch. Anyway, I put in the old DOA3 game (released 2001!) and realized I had never completed the game. Besides the opening video featuring "Nine Lives," I always wondered by Aerosmith got top billing on the game's packaging. So after a couple of hours, I finally unlocked the last of the story cinematics (video-clips showing the plot and character backgrounds). Turns out that Aerosmith's "Home Tonight" is the song played during the closing credit roll. Heh - it only took me 4 years. :P
On the bright side of being such a loser fanboy I get to enjoy this... Remember that pic I posted a while ago of a transforming jet/robot. It was this huge deluxe affair I paid nearly $300 for during a trip to Toronto last month. Well, the final prototype of a new set of add-on parts has finally been revealed (or am I just behind the times?)...
I'm excited for no good reason. And I'm sure my folks will be thrilled to hear I'm still buying this sort of thing.
