It's been May for an entire week already. Bitch.

So, I'm almost a week late in writing my "It's May, Bitch" post. What can I say? May kinda snuck up on me. There's not really very much going on in the music scene this month, with a few heavy hitters releasing albums last month. Hopefully they're good enough to keep us satisfied until June, which will at least see a single from Crystal Kay (all the music I need).

While May doesn't mean much for music this year, it does signal the start of the summer blockbuster season, which started strong with Marvel's Iron Man. I have yet to see it, but with a current rating of 94% on Rotten Tomatoes and a $100 million dollar opening weekend in the US alone, I think it's safe to say that Mr. Stark delivers on the hype. Sound off if you've seen it.

May 19th sees the release of Nintendo's brainchild Wii Fit in the US. Though I most likely won't be purchasing this day of, or in the foreseeable future even, it will undoubtedly be something to talk about this month, especially if the rumors of it making it onto the Oprah show come true. America is a fat country, among other things.

Ah, and finally, the girls who brunch are coming back in a big way on May 30th, and I can NOT wait. Sex and the City: The Movie is definitely my most anticipated film of the year; I need Samantha Jones back in my life. My bestie thinks I'm waiting until school ends nearly three weeks after the flick comes out to see it with him, but he's sadly mistaken. Hopefully it's good enough that I'll have seen it three times by then.

So, I know it's a bit belated but, Happy May, bitches. Thanks for reading! ^_^

Will 'Wii Fit' Fit?

Wii Fit is already a bona fide hit in Japan, selling through over a million copies in a month's time. But, "hardcore" gamers here in the US seem dead-set against it, deeming it too casual for their tastes. Time will tell if Wii Fit becomes a hit here, as the game comes out in Spring (April is the current rumor). But, my bet is that it'll be just as successful as the Wii itself. I'm of the opinion that the dichotomy between "casual" and "hardcore" isn't as pressing as whether a game is enjoyable. Mario Party will likely go on forever just because people have fun playing. I'm interested in what Wii Fit has to offer. From all accounts, the game really is capable of giving you a great workout (which isn't hard for me to believe at all after playing Mario & Sonic). Here's a preview from GameTrailers.
