Or – “Not To Be Confused With “H.A.L.B.E.R.D.”
H.A.L.B.E.R.D., of course, is the Heuristic Algorithmic Lifeforms Built for Exploration and Rational Defenestration, a robot support group to try and stop them from throwing fleshy humans out of windows. I believe there’s an old expression about knowing being half the battle…

What sequence of events could change a beautiful woman looking for love to a scarred woman looking for revenge?
Last week’s 27% tumble was somewhat expected for ABC’s new “V” mini-series, but the execs have to be cringing a bit this morning when the numbers came in that show the invading space alien remake took another hit, dropping an additional 18% from the previous week. This equates to an audience size of 9.3 million, which isn’t bad as it earned the show a fifth place ranking for the night.
For those wanting a comparison, “The Biggest Loser” was able to attract 9.4 million viewers for second place, while NCIS brought in 20 million viewers to take the top spot. Even with Laura Vandervoort, with these tumbling numbers, will the series make it past those shows already in the can?

Way back in the day, before the advent of NES, SNES, Sega, Xbox, and those hack machines that followed, we had to go to a video arcade to play video games – one quarter at a time. The early devourer of my quarters was Space Invaders. A lot of button mashing and left-right joystick controlling is all the skill one needed to defeat the invaders…from space…
Flash forward to today, where Galaga has been replaced by Halo, and someone (actually Mike Lisbe and Nate Reger) has sold the idea that this video game would make an excellent movie. The duo of Lisbe and Reger have gone so far as to hire Justin Theroux to write the script.
(film) centers on a man who decides to go to space after he suspects that his longtime girlfriend, an astronaut, is cheating on him with another spacewalker. Will Arnett is attached to star.
If the Theroux name sounds familiar, then good for you for paying attention, as Theroux wrote Tropic Thunder, and the upcoming Iron Man 2 movie, and is currently working on a feature film remake of Air Guitar Nation.

Show Notes after the Jump!
Top Cow Productions, Inc. proudly announced today that The Darkness: Shadows & Flames one-shot comic book will hit comic book store shelves late January 2010.
Written by up-and-coming scribe Rob Levin (The Darkness: Butcher) and featuring art and cover from Jorge Lucas (The Darkness, Sunset), the 32-page The Darkness: Shadows & Flames standalone takes readers back to the turn of the 20th Century to follow a horrifying tale of lost love and the depravity of man and powers beyond our understanding in the tradition of H.P. Lovecraft. Salvador Gomes is a broken man. He has lost his beautiful wife and young daughter in a fire and now spends restless days and sleepless nights looking for solace. In desperation, he makes a bargain with “The Shadow God,” but every bargain has its price.
“I’ve always been fascinated with the types of different stories you can tell within the greater mythos of The Darkness,” said Levin. “Readers are familiar with Jackie starring in horror-centric stories, but ‘Shadows and Flame’ gave Jorge and I a chance to tell another kind of horrific yawn, drawing on the great H.P. Lovecraft and examining man’s own ineptitude in a world in which greater, more powerful creatures exist.”
The Darkness: Shadows & Flames one-shot will retail at $2.99.
