The Most Brutal Soccer Foul You’ll Ever See

World War Z
We got a sneak peek into Brad Pitt's upcoming post-apocalyptic horror movie "World War Z" in a gray-hued, fast-paced trailer that aired shortly before the start of the 2013 Super Bowl.
As The Huffington Post noted in an earlier post, the trailer, featuring a long-haired Pitt, "shows off the zombie apocalypse ('We've lost the East Coast') without actually showing off the zombie apocalypse."
Are you planning on watching this film when it hits theaters this summer? The reactions on Twitter seemed mixed.

In that World War Z trailer, why are they saving the U.S. Constitution? Do zombies eat historical documents now?#adweekbowl

That World War Z commercial with Brad threw me. When it started I thought they'd re-edited the Chanel spot.
CLICK HERE to see the rest of the 2013 Super Bowl commercials as well as all of the best, worst and most unforgettable from the past.
As the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens battle for the right to lift the Lombardi Trophy, Super Bowl advertisers compete for another prize: your attention. Each time that CBS cuts away from Super Bowl XLVII to pay the bills, another group of blockbuster commercials and movie trailers was unveiled (although many had been teased). Take a look around your Super Bowl party. Are people paying closer attention during the game or the commercial breaks?
CLICK HERE to visit our Super Bowl Live Blog to check out the latest on-field action.
While memorable Super Bowl commercials like Apple's '1984' and Snickers' spot that featured Betty White will be remembered so many more are soon forgotten or, even worse, ridiculed as super fails. Will this ad make this year's best list? Is itcontroversial? Or, even worse, destined to be forgotten?
The Walking Dead's midseason premiere
1. Rick's mental state is still "very fragile"
Rick descended into madness over the first half of the season, as he "heard" the voices of his dead wife and allies via a telephone and thought he saw his dead friend Shane during a firefight. Though Rick has generally managed to hide his delusions from the group so far, he won't be able to do so forever. "Rick's mental state is very fragile at a time when the group needs him to be on his A-game. And he's emotionally compromised," says Walking Deadshowrunner Glen Mazzara at Entertainment Weekly. "How do we retain our humanity under such dire circumstances?" adds Mazzara at The New York Times. "That's something that Rick has to face not only for himself but also for his son and for the group that he's sworn to protect."

2. Daryl will be torn between his brother Merle and Rick
In the finale of the first half of this season, the Dixon brothers were reunited for the first time since season one — and the long-simmering tension between Rick and Merle Dixon (Michael Rooker) will leave Daryl between a Rick and a hard place. "Daryl is caught in the middle and has to make choices," says Mazzara at Entertainment Weekly. And though he won't say which side Daryl ends up choosing, Mazarra offers some hints at The Hollywood Reporter: "Merle and Daryl, if you remember, are survivalists — they can handle it out on their own. The question is does Daryl want to leave his new family behind? Does he want to fall back into that same pattern he had his whole life of being Merle's little brother and taking orders from him and letting him bully him? Also, if Daryl chooses not to put up with that, how does that force Merle to change?"

3. Andrea will continue to oppose her former allies — but feel conflicted
Andrea (Laurie Holden) became romantically involved with the Governor during the first half of the season — but the brewing conflict will force her into a position of power. "As the Governor focuses on his plan to seek revenge on Rick and Michonne, Andrea is forced into a leadership position in Woodbury to protect those people," says Mazzara at The Hollywood Reporter. And her relationship with Michonne (Danai Gurira) will continue to be a major factor: "I don't know if there are romantic feelings. That's something we discussed," says Mazzara. "It's a complicated dynamic with how much these women do care for each other. That story line plays out throughout the entire back-half of the season."

4. Tyreese can't necessarily be trusted
Readers of The Walking Dead comic book series were happy to see fan-favorite character Tyreese (Chad L. Coleman) introduced in the show's midseason finale — but his ultimate motives are still very much up in the air. "Tyreese is not necessarily a good guy who simply joins Rick's team and fights against the Governor," says Mazzara at Entertainment Weekly. "He's a wild card.... His priority is keeping his own group safe."

5. Another major character from the comic book will appear
Between Michonne, the Governor, and Tyreese, The Walking Dead has had no shortage of fan service for readers of the comic book — but there's at least one more on the way, teases Mazzara at Entertainment Weekly.

6. Every character on the show is expendable — including Rick
The first half of The Walking Dead's third season was a bloodbath, with major characters like Lori and T-Dog getting the axe — and fans can expect more of the same as the season continues. "There will always be death in The Walking Dead, so I don't think anybody should get comfortable," says Mazzara at Entertainment Weekly. "The Governor and Rick are gearing up for war, and without sounding silly, there will be blood." When Vulture pressed Mazzara about whether even Rick could be killed off, he cryptically replied, "for me, everyone is fair game."
Sean Bean Joins Jupiter Ascending
The film focuses on higher forms of life who are watching us from other worlds. Kunis will play a Russian immigrant who is busily scrubbing toilets for a living. Unbeknownst to her, she actually possesses the same perfect genetic makeup as the Queen of the Universe and is therefore a threat to herself.
In a universe where humans are near the bottom of the evolutionary ladder, a young destitute human woman is targeted for assassination by the Queen of the Universe because her very existence threatens to end the Queen's reign.
Stand-Alone Star Wars Films Confirmed
"We are in fact working on a few stand-alone films," Disney boss Bob Iger told CNBC's Julia Boorstin (via Variety). "Larry Kasdan and Simon Kinberg are both working on films derived from great Star Wars characters that are not part of the overall saga. So we plan to make Star Wars VII, VIII and IXover roughly a six-year period of time starting in 2015. But there are going to be a few other films released in that period of time too."
Abrams and his production company Bad Robot have a proven track record of blockbuster movies that feature complex action, heartfelt drama, iconic heroes and fantastic production values with such credits as Star Trek, Super 8, Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol, and this year’s Star Trek Into Darkness. Abrams has worked with Lucasfilm’s preeminent postproduction facilities, Industrial Light & Magic and Skywalker Sound, on all of the feature films he has directed, beginning with Mission: Impossible III. He also created or co-created such acclaimed television series as Felicity, Alias, Lost and Fringe.

PS4 fecha de lanzamiento
Sony has invited press to a New York City event on 20 February 2013. The company announced the event on Thursday 31 January, inviting us to "see the future," linking to a PlayStation Meeting 2013 website with few details except the 20 February date and a time of 6 p.m. EST.
For PlayStation fans the important questions are; when will the PS4 hit the shelves? What sort of hardware will it pack? And will it even be called the PlayStation 4?
There have been rumours doing the rounds suggesting thatSony is calling the PS4 'Orbis'. This comes from a source speaking to Kotaku "who is not authorised to talk publicly about next-gen hardware but has shared correct information" with them before.
Assuming the Orbis name is in some way accurate, it's still unclear whether the name is a codename like Durango or whether the console will literally be called the Sony PlayStation Orbis instead of the Sony PS4.
The name does make some kind of sense if you combine it with the word 'Vitae' (or Vita). Orbis Vitae translates from Latin as 'circle of life' and hints at some serious synergy between the PS4 and the PS Vita.
It could be a red herring, of course, but with the Vita already communicating fairly competently with the PS3, it seems highly likely that this will be the case. So what can we expect from the PlayStation 4?
PS4: Graphics and CPU power
The same source who revealed the PlayStation Orbis name to Kotaku also mentioned that the PS4 was penciled in as packing an AMD x64 CPU and 28nm AMD Southern Islands graphics power.
However, in November 2012, strong rumours have suggested that PS4 dev kits have been issued to developers packing an AMD A10 APU (check out our review of this combo chip here), between 8GB and 16GB of RAM, 256GB of storage and a Blu-ray drive.
The graphics part of the A10 APU is already quite dated, which is a big disappointment but not all that surprising.
Those chips aren't even the best that AMD currently has to offer - so by the time the PS4 goes on sale it would be woefully lacking in power compared to the latest AMD tech, let alone the most advanced chips from Nvidia and Intel.
By 2014, Intel will be shipping 14nm - or possibly even tooling up for 11nm - CPUs and with that amount of transistors on a die, we're talking serious performance and efficiency gains.
So it's for this reason that we suspect - or hope - that current PS4 development kits may currently be using these AMD chips, but the final PS4 will most likely pack something a little more special. We would at least expect a Steamroller APU packing a newer graphics core.
Now, because a console is a closed platform, it's possible for developers and engineers to squeeze more performance out of any given chip than would be possible in a PC which has a lot more redundancies to cater for.
So the PS4 will have decent graphics no matter what. But this is still very much last-generation tech we're talking here.
And according to various rumours, Sony is attempting to get 4K gaming out the door with the PS4, along with full HD 1080p 3D gaming for the first time.
We don't think it would even be possible to achieve this kind of output with the A10 APU unless some kind of multi-GPU set-up is being used - so it's highly likely that Sony will pair the eventual APU with a low-end discrete graphics card to help things along.
Latest spec reports
The latest rumours suggest that the PS4 will have more computing powerthan the Xbox 720 while packing less RAM.
PS4 release date
Latest rumours suggest that the PS4 will launch in time for Christmas 2013, though Sony are remaining quiet on the issue. We have received strong hints from industry insiders that 2013 will be the year but nothing is confirmed and anything could yet happen.
One thing's for sure: Sony is currently losing billions every year and badly needs the cash injection that would come from a new console.
VG247 is quoting an anonymous source (always a bad start to a rumour) as saying that Sony believes it is in a position to get the PS4 out of the door before the launch of Microsoft's Xbox 720. The next Xbox is almost certain to hit the shelves in 2013 so maybe we expect them to arrive roughly together.
We remember, of course, how Microsoft managed to launch the 360 a full year before the PS3 went on sale and that enabled it to gain a huge headstart, despite all sorts of technical faults and expensive repair bills.
Meanwhile, Bethesda's Todd Howard, game director for the blockbusterElder Scrolls V: Skyrim, says that gamers should not expect follow-ups to the PS3 and Xbox 360 until 2014, at the very earliest.
Speaking to PSM3 magazine, the Bethesda exec said that gamers were happy with the current generation of console tech and that he didn't expect to see an Xbox 720 or a PS4 before 2014.
Further sources said in December 2014 that they also believe Autumn 2014 is a more realistic date, so we're certainly not going to count any Turkeys this Christmas!
However, after that slap in the face reports began to surface that the PS4 would be unveiled in early 2013, at least. Games Informer suggested that both the PS4 and the Xbox 720 would be revealed to the world at separate events in March 2013, with release dates slated for late 2013.
Backwards compatibility
When the original original PS3 unit shipped, it contained a chip that gave it the ability to play PS2 games. Subsequent iterations of hardware omitted this chip and so the backwards compatibility was condemned to death.
Current rumours suggests that the PS4 will completely ignore the possibility of backwards compatibility and focus firmly on the next generation. So if you want to continue playing your PS3 games, keep hold of your PS3s, kids.
Second hand games on the way out?
More rumours suggest that Sony is going in the same direction as Microsoft in that it wants to kill off the second hand games market. Current industry wisdom suggests that future PS4 games might be tied to your Sony Entertainment Network account and will thus then have no resale value. That's a similar approach as used by PC developers using Steam so we reckon this is a likely development. Doesn't mean we're happy about it, though.
What are the PS4 features we'd most like to see?
PS4info dreams of a next-gen PlayStation with a 32nm Cell processor an up to 16 SPEs, double the number in the PlayStation 3. While over on gamrConnect, there's talk of a greater partnership with Google. Sony's new fondness for Android on the Xperia Play is an interesting strategy.
Blu-ray on the PlayStation 4 is a dead cert. While digital distribution is undoubtedly the way forward, not every PlayStation owner has access to a fast broadband connection.
As Kaz Hirai told Develop, "we do business in parts of the world where network infrastructure isn't as robust as one would hope. There's always going to be requirement for a business of our size and scope to have a physical medium."
As for the PlayStation 4 controller, Dr. Richard Marks (Sony Computer Entertainment's US R&D manager of special projects) says that "anything that lets us get the player's intent into the system more" is technology they'll be looking at. No brain wave gaming just yet.
