Mortal Kombat rebirth?
If this is real, it looks awesome!

I know the general consensus is that this is cool, or even awesome as royoak said, and in fact it probably is a step in the right direction for Mortal Kombat (other than quitting while you're already way behind), but my take is that in its attempt to be more real, gritty, hardcore, or whatever standard they're trying to meet, by that same standard of "stark realism," it's actually relatively more ridiculous than the original Mortal Kombat mythology, which it's also more unfaithful to than any previous adaptation. I mean, you can slap a coat of rust colored paint on it and call it serious and realistic, but from the scenario to the acting and dialogue, it was still unbelievably silly B-movie cheese all the way.
Not saying it's bad... well, actually, that's exactly what I'm saying. It still looks bad, just in a different way. But, Kotaku, praising it wildly and calling it perfect among other things, already compared it to Saw and Seven, proving once again that this style is certainly going to appeal to those that can't tell the difference between the two.

Agreed. Personally, something like Mortal Kombat leaning on a "realistic" scenario just seems way far fetched. Like Griff said, it even makes it worse. But hey, that doesn't mean I wouldn't see it on a DVD release or something. But I wouldn't expect much. Either way, thank you for posting it Royoak.

Yeah I had the same reaction; it was done in poor taste. It's not a disease that lends itself to "cool" fantasies. The worst part is that they didn't even do anything with it. Griff and I were discussing earlier how he looks like the average hobo in adult form.

Who wouldn't shit their pants if it was staged well enough?

Ron Artest mania is sweeping Los Angeles! I thought I'd share a little of the man affectionately known as "Crazy Pills" with you all.
Ron's post championship interview - Ron thanks his psychiatrist, among others, and promotes his new single, "Champions."
Ron's post game press conference - Funny, candid, strange, and genuine; that's Ron Artest. This is what it looks like when good things happen to manic people.
Ron doing a scene with Helen freakin' Mirren! - Mirren, playing his therapist, councils Ron the morning before game 7.
