Remember that 8-bit Nintendo game Randy “The Ram” Robinson played with his neighbor in Darren Aronofsky’s The Wrestler? Apparently “Wrestle Jam” was actually developed over a month’s time by motion graphics artist Kristyn Hume and programmer Randall Furino. The article on the making of the game can be found here.
You can also listen to the original 8-bit music created for the game below. Note – the footage shown is not from the game.

Believe me, it’s even funnier if you understand what she’s saying in Cantonese – she calls one of the men crazy, for instance.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine – 60-Second TV Spots
On February - 15 - 2009
Twentieth Century Fox has aired three 60-second TV spots for “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”. The first, second, and third TV spot are titled “Outcasts”, “Brothers”, and “Legends”, respectively, which you can check out below.
*If you’ve read the comic series, “Origin – The True Story of Wolverine”, you’ll know that that’s actually not a young Victor Creed – it’s a boy named Dog, who James Howlett (Wolverine) befriends. That man w/ the sideburns, who James kills in the TV spot, is Thomas Logan, Dog’s father. James Howlett starts to resemble Dog as he ages and eventually adapts the name Logan – after Dog’s father. Understand…? Anyways, I also don’t recall Dog’s father admitting himself to be James Howlett’s real father, and I’m betting there’s been a bit of tweaking done to the story for Hollywood purposes. Make no mistake though – overall, this does appear to be quite the faithful adaptation of the origin story from what we’ve seen in the spot so far.
