Now all your fantasies of Princess Peach won’t seem as weird because here she is, drawn up as a classic Vargas style pin-up.  Oh, about the 8-bit head…yeah, I guess that makes it weird still.  (kotaku)

From the “gimme a fucking break” dept.: Todd Phillips, the charlatan of cinema, has opted a John Belushi biopic, because that’s EXACTLY what we need.  Look, the funniest film Phillips made was Hated: GG Allin and the Murder Junkies.  If you wanna know about John Belushi, just buy one of those awful “Best of SNL” DVDs.  But, if you insist on making a movie, at least cast Tyler Labine.  If he gets rid of that ridiculous Syndrome hairstyle, he’d be a perfect fit.  Don’t be a bunch of dummies and hire Jonah Hill or Seth Rogen, please.  I beg of you.  (filmdrunk)

Gaspar Noé, master of shocking cinema, is finally seeing a wide-release date for his 2009 film, Into the Void.  I’ve always been a huge Noé fan, and this new trailer looks like his unique style has only gotten better and more fine-tuned.  One can only hope the film carries as much rape and child molestation as his previous work.  (youtube)

Max Landis, John’s son, has written a new film about some kids who develop super powers — but the twist? — it’s shot in a handheld, first-person style ala Blair Witch Project and Cloverfield.  No word yet on the title, though I’m hoping it’s gonna be See You Next Wednesday.  (heatvision)

Reading the synopsis of this page, (“a beer popsicle”), I wasn’t too impressed.  Hell, I’ve left beers in the freezer too long.  But upon closer inspection…Tecate, lime juice, simple syrup and a splash of tequila…whoa.  They should sell these from ice cream trucks.  (urbandaddy)

Our good buddy/Piece Brewery bartender extraordinaire Mark also happens to help front kick-ass Chicago metal outfit Bible of the Devil. As if that isn’t cool enough, tonight @ Quenchers, BotD will not only perform their 600th show, but will also be releasing their collabo beer The Devil’s Handshake (the world’s first street metal ale) from uber-rad Munster, Indiana microbrewery 3 Floyds!

This is without a doubt going to be a drunken rock and roll good time. With Bible of the Devil and 3 Floyds and Quenchers working together, there is no chance your face will not be melted off. Nerd City will be there. We apologize for our behavior in advance.

Thanks to the glorious internet, somehow the initial writers bible for the original Batman: The Animated Series has been posted online. This “bible” is written by Paul Dini and Bruce Tiim in order to give the writers of the series an idea on where they wanted the cartoon to go. So if you got time to kill and want to enjoy yourself check out the “bible” right here.

Thanks to io9.com for the heads up on this piece.

R. Crumb is illustrating the book of Genesis? Where have I been?

Weighing in for the Beat’s end-of-year industry feature, Abrams Executive Editor Charlie Kochman predicts that the “biggest story in comics in 2009″ will be “the long-awaited publication of Robert Crumb’s Book of Genesis, an adaptation of the Bible story, which Norton will be publishing in Fall 2009. I had the privilege of seeing some of the pages in France two years ago, and the scope of the work has haunted me ever since.”

The Comic Book College Weeklies blog carries corroborating commentary from Denis Kitchen, who acted as the book’s agent, that The Book of Genesis According to R. Crumb is “coming from W. W. Norton probably late 2009.”

Well in a way at least. It has been revealed that Viewtiful Joe will be a playable character in the upcoming Japanese fighting game Tatsunoko vs Capcom. TvsC will be another venture into the VS Capcom series that gave us the fantastic Marvel vs Capcom 2. For those not familiar Tatsunoko is an anime company that brought G-Force, Speed Racer, Bible Stories and many others over to the states back in the day. As of right now TvsC is only scheduled to be released in Japan for the Wii but there have been strong rumors from the start that Capcom USA will be looking to bring it over here. Being the 2D fighter fan that I am, I really hope that this game will come over to the US, if not we still get the fantastic Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter II HD Remix later this year to satisfy our 2D fighting needs.
