Misleading Friday the 13th Part 3 DVD Case

I picked up a copy of the 2000 DVD release of Friday the 13th Part III at Circuit City today and noticed something interesting about the summary written on the back.  It reads:

An idyllic summer turns into a nightmare of unspeakable terror for yet another group of naive counselors….

Did the person who wrote that even watch the movie?  The people in Part III aren’t camp counselors, they’re just a bunch of sexed up youths.  It’s sad that the person who wrote the short blub on the back didn’t even know what the movie was about.  Although they never state what the professions of the characters of this movie are so who knows.  They could be, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2: Fusion Trailer, Now With Extra Storm

A new trailer for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2: Fusion has been released from New York Comic-Con 09, and this one acutally shows gameplay.  It really doesn’t look like it’s making many strides from the original game graphically, and the only new character I noticed in the trailer was Hercules.  I’m very interested to see how the Civil War story line is handled, because I imagine changes are going to have to be made to wrap up the story, since it technically never ended and is still going on.  Oh well.

Also, I’ve probably said this before but why the hell is Storm featured so prominently in not only this trailer but for most things Marvel in general?  Who the hell gives a shit about Storm?
