This totally made my day...a new trailer for upcoming TV game Command and Conquer - Red Alert 3. Normally, being a staunch FPS guy, I could care less about a strategy title. But the cast for the full motion video sequences includes Tim Curry, Johnathan Pryce, Jenny McCarthy, Albert Einstein, J.K. Simmons, and George Takei as the Emperor of Japan in a true throwback to the Sega CD era crica 1993. Stick around to the end if you like big SF battleships throwing down for the rising sun...
C&C has always been legendary for the over-the-top live action cutscenes, and the RED ALERT is the most over-the-toppiest. I'm glad to see that the tradition continues...Besides, George Takei as the emperor? That alone is worth the price of admission!

SF, hell! I see women wearing white jumpsuits with rising flag patches all the time in Neo-Kichijoji.

Emperor of Japan? Not Kadokawa Haruki?
Check his autobiography"Mein Kampf" with pics shot by Annie Lebowitz on the cover.
