The website for the G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA video game from Eelectronic Arts went up a short while ago, but one section was notably quiet…the “Daily Downloads”. Well, tkprime from HissTank.com reports that the section is now live, and sure enough, there is a desktop wallpaper of Storm Shadow available there for download.
Check it out right here, and then keep on checking it out to see what other new goodies go up!
We got a nice helping of five different character posters a little while ago scattered across several sites…well, that assortment gets an update of one today, as Scarlett is added to the list via an exclusive at Film School Rejects. This follows the trend of the other five posters, and I really love how they all came out! Great layout, lots of action…very cool.
The gallery of all six (including Scarlett) is hosted below.

So begins the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen review over at Latino Review. In fact, by and large, across the web, Transformers 2 has been getting lambasted, raked over the coals, and generally abused by critics and movie fans alike. Funny thing is, none of this has dampened my own enthusiasm to see the film in Imax glory tomorrow night, but it does bring up some questions in my mind, especially considering the box office numbers that Revenge of the Fallen has already tallied.
In spite of a veritable rampage of negative reviews, according to Box Office Mojo, Transformers 2 has already grossed over $120 million dollars internationally, and this is before the first domestic weekend. So, by all accounts, Revenge of the Fallen can’t be considered a good film (of course depending on everyone’s personal opinion of that term), but there is absolutely no doubt that it will be a successful film.
Which, of course, raises the question… what is more important? Would you rather have a good film or a big money maker? Of course in a perfect world, we could have The Dark Knight, which gave us both…but this is my website, dammit, so I’m calling the shots. If you could only have one… big money, or good quality, what would it be?
