Joost Gets Bought up

Well, I had so much hope for joost when it first came up.

Leo Laporte and Amber Macarther talked so much about it.

I had to run out and get me a beta test. The first branch of i.p. TV tree had sprouted. They had a program you had to install that seems a whole lot like what  is now called Adobe Air. The program and the videos ran and played really smooth, looked pretty good also. One day a bunch of people started complaining about the install process (a whole 4 seconds to download, 12 seconds to install..) So the Joost team dropped the installer and started at going with online streaming video, much like Hulu. I really liked the program, it ran like a torrent  program or good ol Kazzaa. On a peer program.

Sad to say though, Joost never had any really good videos, other than “The Lexx”.

Joost  is sold to a company called “Adconion Media” . Really I never heard of them. I hope they make the best of it. I was actually hoping for nbc,cbs and or hbo/showtime/usa to merger on a deal to buy it. Oh well .

Good luck gang.

world Of Warcraft the Movie

According to TomsGuide.Com
There is discussion of W.O.W. The movie being produced. Back in the day We used to wish to see Bruce Willis as Jim Reynor. Now, I would settle for Brad Pitt instead. But it looks like we will see the team from the LOTR Series put together the Animation engine again and plop out a movie that makes no sense in relation to the free roam mmorpg.
i’m not for this. Blizzard must be out of their mind. unless they plan to just do a “Warcraft” movie. that actually has a story , A trilogy in fact. But again, Starcraft has a real story and great animation.

and to the rest of that link. Guitar hero the reality show??? WTF!!!!

AT&T ready To Warn Pirates

The phone company thus joins other major ISPs that either go beyond legal requirements or interpret their duties under the law to mean that they have to forward such notices.

Grand Theft Auto The Movie

The first movie of grand theft auto was done  with Ron Howard as the star actor. It was done in 1977 writen and acted  and directed by Ron Howard. Here is the Imdb link to the movie.

With that said let’s get to what you are looking for. Someone at a website titled ” Cinematical” Wrote a story that leads to a hopefull movie starring Eminem, the singer (?) Rapper (?) > I myself am not sure how that would work out. He isn’t much of an actor. I guesse he could play the role of the guy from GTAIII. No talking no speech. I could better see Christian slater playing the role of Tommy Vercetti. I could see YOUNG MAYLAY (the guy that did the CJ voice in San Andreas) Playing carl Johnson in The part three of The movie GTA . Yes I would assume it would have to be called  GTA Because of copy rights and stuff with Ron Howard’s movie. I totally respect that. Heck I could see Ron Howard Playing Donald Love. Lazlow would surely have to play Lazlow.

See I ran across those links trying to find a place on the internet with best story behind the whole GTA games to tie it all together. I would love to print it out and set it on the back of my father’s toilet. He would have no choice but to read it, and then he could join in the conversations between my son and I around him.

Of course I came up with no find so I started searching to see if anyone has taken the time to put all the cutscenes together and some how put the whole story together, even if it means a brief description of the ingame between. again no find. So here I am giving you guys a couple links I found with the same hope I have to see a movie or a book come up.

I got some more stuff, in his words

Gamespot did a “video history” of GTA shortly after GTA SA came out so it is “almost” complete and is just missing GTA 4, you can find that here :-

Then there is the IGN article that did a pretty comprehensive write up of the history of GTA and the some of the back story to people like David Jones, Sam and Dan Houser, here is the link :-

Returning to videos, this is a f*cking cool video history here :-

I love the music in it and I also love the starting credit “In October of 1997, Grand Theft Auto was born, first on the PC ….” I love that bit.

Max Payne The Movie

10.17.08

Take Two Interactive the makers of Grand Theft Auto Have created a Story great enough to make a movie.

Let’s hope this leads to a few more Rockstar take two movies. (wink wink nudge nudge**cough GTA**)

So far it looks very much like what ” The Crow” part II should have been.

Let’s wait for more Previews
