Hey, well, whadya know, we saw a new movie this week - the video-game-crossover-retro-arcade film Pixar never made: Wreck-It Ralph. Meh. I'm really surprised something like this hasn't popped up before, a pastiche of stuff from video games old and new; I suppose no one except Disney could afford the rights to use all those franchises. The film wasn't just a cameo-athon of games old and new, but a newer story based on game culture, which conversely made the cameos a little pointless. Still, the smarter card was played and this was amusing enough to divert.
Most of the garrulous gaff from this week's show regarded the uber-news that is Disney buying LucasFilm. So, that happened.
We heard music from:
The Empire Strikes Back, 1980 - John Williams
Robin Hood, 1973 - George Bruns, Roger Miller
Tron, 1982 - Wendy Carlos
