What a weird week in books. Not a lot of superhero action and only, like, five books that I personally pull coming out today, so I don’t have much to yak about, but for y’all, I’ll try.

Also, completely depressed about Corey Haim. Nobody better fuck with me today, seriously.

Less whining and a full list of the day’s books after the jump…

Can you see what the person photo shopped here? Sho-Ryu-Ken! (Sure-You-Can). Sorry with that lame joke, but up above is a pretty funny and clever photo shopped image then what my joke was. Sure the name is really Hadouken but c’mon people, lets use some imagination on this. I also appriciate the down-forward quarter circle punch image as there are some gamers, mostly new generation gamers, claiming it’s hard to play and they want the dial-a-combo game play. Maybe we do need to send them out to Haboken to get them learning on Street Fighter basics. Comment below if you have seen other signs and it had you remember or thought of something you like.

Felicia Day, everyone’s favorite nerdgirl who apparently can do no wrong, has been cast as the lead in an upcoming original movie for the SyFy channel. Cue geekgasms everywhere.

Day, who stars in the web series “The Guild” and has been featured in “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog” and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” will star in SyFy’s reimagining of the classic Little Red Riding Hood story. Titled “Red,” the TV movie is scheduled for a 2011 television release. I’m really, really trying not to make dumb puns about Day’s hair, her character and the movie’s title. It’s hard.

Here’s some info from the official release:

In the action-packed Red, Red (Day) brings her fiancé home, where he meets the family and learns about their business – hunting werewolves. He’s skeptical until bitten by a werewolf. When her family insists he must be killed, Red tries saving him. Red also stars Kavan Smith (Stargate Atlantis) and Stephen McHattie (Watchmen).

When I read the release, I had to scrutinize it to make sure that God-Of-All-That-Is-Fantastic Joss Whedon wasn’t attached. The plot point about two very different people-things in love having to make a choice to kill or die sounds a wee bit like the end of “Buffy” season 2, no? Do you selfishly keep your love, or do you murder him for the good of the world?

SyFy has retold a number of classic stories and fairy tales in recent years, and they’ve been pretty good, so I’m sold on “Red.” However, SyFy also produces a number of awesomely awful B-movies such as “Pterodactyl” and “Minotaur.” How do you think “Red” will turn out?

Asked on the Red Carpet about when Bill and Ted were going to have another triumphant adventure through time, Keanu Reeves, who I believe had an awesome attitude  about this whole thing, was fantastic. The question he has to be asked at least once daily for the past 20 years, he was shockingly cavalier about! When asked if he was kidding he said “I’m not! I’m not!”

Problem is, try to get a read on him. I can’t tell if he’s being sarcastic! Because at the end of the interview he sounds dead serious. At the beginning however he sounds like he’s kidding.

I would like to say, that as a child, I LOVED Bogus Journey. However now now?? B&T’s Bogus Journey is SO terrible that it hurts. It was just dumb. 90’s dumb. I still love it, though but can you imagine part 3? The thing is, they are all in their early 40’s (I believe) or even late late 30’s. What can they do about a script? Wyld Stallions aligned the planets and brought peace and harmony to the world and universe. Opening communications to alien life on other planets to small domestic household pets…So what could they do? Throw some plot ideas out my way, I’d be interested to hear what you guys think.

And PLEASE… NO REBOOT

This is not, I repeat NOT our “Sexy Cosplay of The Week” (which is up every Fri. afternoon). No, what this is, is the equivilant of taking your genitals, putting them in a blender and setting it to frap. To say this is a poor execution of cosplay would be a severe understatement. Will never look  at Felicia from Capcom’s Dark Stalkers the same ever again . As much as we are inclined to comment on this great big mess we’re just too afraid of Karma and well, fat girl backlash. We’re bastards but we’re not mean bastards. That’s what the comment section is for. I  am, though, reminded of a old sang thats rings true for todays example of Cosplay gone wrong. As Mama always said “If you can’t be a good example, you just have to be a horrible warning”. This couldn’t be more of a clearer warning to the walking mounds of flesh out there wishing to dress up as their favorite character from pop culture. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
