‘The Pentaverate’ is a reminder of what Netflix took from us
'The Pentaverate' could have made a breezy 89-minute comedy. Shame Netflix insisted on making it almost twice that long.

Mike Myers is getting his own original show on Netflix. Not much is known about the project at this point, other than it will be a limited series consist of six episodes and will star the former Saturday Night Live castmate. Myers, dipping back into his sketch comedy roots, plans to play multiple characters. He will also slot in as one of the show's executive producers.
NetherRealm considered Michael Myers, Jason as Mortal Kombat DLC
Mortal Kombat's newest kombatant certainly came as a surprise to the seasoned MK vets here at Joystiq; we were expecting Tanya, or maybe even Meat, but Krueger? Dude wasn't even on our radar, let alone our fantasy character selection screens. As out-of-left-field as his inclusion seems to us, series co-founder Ed Boon says that slasher villains have always been on the table as potential new characters. "Over the years, we've certainly had a number of conversations about guest characters," said Boon during an interview with PlayStation Blog. "A number of names were run by us: Jason, Michael Meyers [sic] and all those guys. Freddy Kreuger, we felt, was the most instantly recognizable and he fits in with Mortal Kombat with his claws." We think they made the right choice; why would anyone put the guy from So I Married An Axe Murderer in a Mortal Kombat game?
Rock the Ashram with Love Guru's web game Sitar Star
While we're not sure what to make of Mike Myers' latest farce The Love Guru (we hear it ranks up there with the likes Dana Carvey's The Master of Disguise), there is a pretty fun Guitar Hero parody Sitar Star available on the film's website (play it here). You can choose from two songs ("Rock the Ashram" and "Don't Stop Bhagavan"). Same Guitar Hero rules apply, you can hold down any number of frets to the left of the note. Give the game a spin; if the reviews are any indication, it might be the best thing to come out of the movie.
