I really think so…
Let’s talk about Halo: Legends. It’s available on dvd and blu-ray. AND OnDemand. AND Itunes. AND Digital download. So pretty much anywhere.
I have read some other reviews on this film. I love how some “journalists” think it’s part of journalism to be snarky and jaded. I don’t get that. So, I do my best to tell it like it is.
Halo: Legends is a compilation of short films that revolve around the Spartan v. Covenant war from the Halo series. Each of the shorts was directed by fairly well known anime directors. The don’t really have anything to do with eachother other than the war, or the fact that they have a spartan or 2 in them. Personally, I like that. I love being told a good story. Kudos if you can get the story of an epic 3 hour movie out in 30 mins.
As a fan of the series, there is something for everyone. Weather it’s something that’s visually stunning, a different way of story telling, or something funny. Halo: Legends, in my mind delivers.
What I dislike is the price point. For me, it’s a bit too high. Also it does not include a digital copy version. If it did, I would say that the price point was just right. However, there are a TON of extras. There is a “making of” each of the episodes. Yeah… lots of extra time.
All in all, it was fun and interesting view through the eyes of different story tellers into a universe I have grown to love. Refreshing and poignant, this is a must see for Halo fans. For average Joe; he might dig it too.
Verdict: Fans= buy Non-fans= rent

As this winter rolls on, we at TP are here with you. Though we are in the confines of cyber-space laughing at you as you shovel all of the snow that has accumulated over this season. When we at TP are not staring at you through the ever present eye that is the perforation of reality and the cyber-world, we are busy making things awesome. Sometimes more awesome than they already are.
Danbury CT’s Sub Rosa Party. (www.subrosaparty.com) Has been going strong for the last 4 years. Josh and Dan have gotten together with the founder of Sub Rosa Party and have been making sweet succulent radio love to the idea of Danbury being an incubator for new music. We also see it as an opportunity for more art as a whole to come out of Danbury. It makes sense. Danbury CT, is between Boston, and New York City; two of the most artistic cities on the east coast. With the vision of Sub Rosa Party, Danbury is becoming a musical haven in CT.
Where does TP come in? Also from the greater Danbury Area, we are looking to help spread the word or art and music in our back yards. WXCI is a radio station in our back yard. It is also accessible. So as members of WXCI Dan, Tony, and I are bringing that message to who we can in the radio station’s limited range.
Here is our infusion of awesome.
The idea of Sub Rosa Party is growing. So we aren’t just keeping uor radio love to Danbury. We are sharing it with the world. Go to subrosaparty.com to hear our show. If you are reading this between the hours of 5:00pm and 7:00 pm (EST) on a Monday hit up wxci.org.
That’s what we have been up to. On the comic front; we are still working hard on Issue 2 of “ITGWT”. And who knows, you might even get a live action version. To see exclusive storyboards of a possible almost live action nature, go here.
