Fichtner is about as cool a guy as Ive ever met. Relaxed, lounging back in his chair, his responses to my questions were considered and thoughtful. Hes just a very charismatic guy. Hes sort of exactly what you hope William Fichtner is going to be like. Ad content continues below Heres how my conversation with the brilliant William Fichtner went. So,Crossing Lines. The CSI key in shows tend to look a lot more flashy but this one looks more relaxed....

Rumours suggest that original cuts of Star Wars are heading to Blu-ray. But how likely is that? For George Lucas, there was one simple answer: never. Otherwise, there are the various fan-made de-specialised edits to be found on the internet. The 1993 Laserdisc masters represented the best source for providing the original versions as DVD bonus material. This might suggest that the rumours surrounding the unmodified theatrical cuts is mere wishful thinking....

This was and still is very useful for the anamorphic widescreen format, which has more depth of field. The lens can focus on a plane in the background and the diopter on a foreground. A split diopter does not create real deep focus, only the illusion of this. Thats your homework done. Now, on with the interview.

Once an arcade mainstay, the side-scrolling shooter seems to be dwindling from existence. Ryan looks back at a sadly neglected genre… So what went wrong? Just one year afterDefenderappeared in arcades, along came KonamisScramble. Less mind-bogglingly fast thanDefender,Scramblewas clearly derived from the same DNA as Williams earlier hit. That same year saw also saw the release ofStargate Jarvis and Larry DeMars sequel toDefender. Later levels were set among metal chambers, or grotesque, organic caverns....

In consequence when I am 80, I shall have made still more progress. Im too old for this shit. Roger Murtaugh, the LAPD homicide detective played by Danny Glover in theLethal Weaponfilm series. Age is just a number. Youre only as old as you feel. Its never too late for [insert thing seen as the special preserve of the young here]. Altogether, people get very bothered about being old and the idea of aging....

Gibson created the term cyberspace and is seen as one of the forefathers of cyberpunk. Its weird, then, that his novels and stories never translated to the silver screen before the mid-90s. Who wouldnt watch that? While an adaptation ofNeuromancerhas been in development hell for years, it should have appeared years ago. So what went wrong? Johnny Mnemonicis not a bad film. Ice-T seems like an odd inclusion, but he manages fine....

Did that come from you, and if so, were you worried it might be a problem? Is it too adult? Was that something you were actively thinking about? Yeah, that really came from the source material, I suppose. One of our jobs as screenwriters is to never lose sight of the character. Weve always thought that Cap doesnt change so much as the world changes around him. He stands still and forces the world to change....

Michael Fassbender stars in Pitch Black Heist, in our first Short Film Fanclub column… Who just fancies Michael Fassbender? Either way,Pitch Black Heisthas something for you. The problem is the room features a light-sensitive alarm which they cant disable. They have to perform the robbery in total darkness. In other words, its aPitch Black Heist. Hours pass with no contact and what do they do? Call Isaac and find out whats wrong?...

Is Jackie Chan really retiring? Ad content continues below Congratulations on the film, first of all. The downhill sequence at the beginning was amazing. I was wondering if you could talk a bit about how you devised and executed that. As soon as I saw it, I went, Ah! That would be good for my movie. But I kept it a secret. So I flew to Paris and met that guy, and trained for one month....

It’s time to party! Im talking aboutMario Party, of course! Ad content continues below 9. Blooper was also made a playable character for some reason in this entry, as well. So yeah, theres that. Mario Party 5 (Platform: GameCube) 4. Of course, such an argument could go on forever, as both are unbelievably amazing products.

Is Old Man Logan the cinematic future for Hugh Jackmans Wolverine? But can they get away with pretending that 45-year-old Hugh Jackman is still the fresh-faced spring chicken of 2000sX-Menforever? McKellen has been de-aged in theX-Menuniverse too, of course. Certainly not this writer. But is regularly smearing Hugh Jackman in cream a good idea? Similarly, there are nods and references to other Avengers members throughout. Most of them, after all, are dead fairly early on....

The build to Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena is complete, and Hulk Hogan returned for his birthday. We’ve got RAW results and spoilers… First, lets go with the good. Imagine for a second, if Lesnar winson Sunday. He wont be at every television taping, but Paul Heyman will be. WWE should be taking a lesson from themselves. Ad content continues below Hulk Hogans birthday celebration to wrap up the show was just as good....
