Here we go, internet…
In my opinion, the BIGGEST risk of Summer ’08, nearly 20 years after the last installment, here’s the trailer for Indiana Jones & Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull.
After watching it, I’m not totally sold yet, but it does look like a fun romp. We’ll see how it shapes up in future trailers.
One of the more interesting projects coming out of the new Warner Brothers Animation studio has been their series of DC movies. Thus far, Superman: Doomsday kinda sucked, but Justice League: The New Frontier was pretty great.
However, it’s their next project that looks the most interesting…Batman: Gotham Knight.
In the vein of The Animatrix before it, the direct to DVD feature combines a handful of japanese animation studios (including Production IG, Studio MadHouse, and Studio 4°C), and allows them to present their own unique interpretation of the Dark Knight.
On the DVD of Justice League: The New Frontier, there’s an early look at the project, and it looks fan-freaking-tastic. I’ve embedded it below.
Batman: Gotham Knight should hit stores in June, around the release of The Dark Knight. Color me very excited (I think that’s a shade of mauve).
So the first image from X-Men Origins: Wolverine hit the web today, let’s check it out…
From this we can tell:
Alright! Sounds enthralling. I presume we’ll find out a whole bunch more between now and Origins‘ May 1st, 2009 release date. Or not?
I…
The words they just don’t….
Fuck.
Here, you read.
Just posted over at RottenTomatoes.Com….
Michael Bay Says He Already Wrote Transformers 2
Scripted the sequel to ensure pic’s summer 2009 release date.
The full article is up here.
I look forward to another movie that doesn’t give us clear shots of robots beating ass and a film with roughly 35 sunsets over a 3 day period.
Granted, I know myself so you can look forward to early impressions, concept art, trailers and over analysis of every single step in the creation of Transformers 2, RIGHT HERE at Blast-O-Rama.
Because I’m a god damn sap.
Incase it hasn’t become far too apparent, I am quite obsessed with music…
Combine that with my sorta OCD, and I had a list of bands that I needed to see live…
Over the years, I’ve seen every single band, minus the defunct ones (looking at you At the Drive In and Ben Folds Five) ….except for Radiohead.
Thankfully, that looks like it’s going to change. Tomorrow morning, tickets go on sale for their DC date at Nissan Pavillion on May 11th. To say I will be refreshing WASTE.UK a lot is an understatement. And should I fail? Well, tickets go on general sale at Ticketmaster on Saturday morning. I apologize to my fellow webcomics panelists (more on that later) if I’m more distracted by hitting refresh on my MacBook than on the panel at hand…
EDIT: 2/14/08 9:28AM…The tickets sold out VERY fast on WASTE.UK.COM, so I guess I have to try Ticketmaster on Saturday…wish me luck, internet.
Hey kids in DC/MD/VA/etc….
Get out there and vote today. As a registered independent, I cannot, and with an extremely close primary, I’ve never been more aggravated about being able to speak my voice.
If you have the option, make it heard.
As we reach the end (finally!) of the WGA Strike, the actual effect on Hollywood is being revealed…
According to this article from the Hollywood Reporter, the cost of the strike on the Los Angeles economy is…$2 Billion.
How much is that? Just a bit of breakdown…
With that money you could…
- Make indie darling/Oscar nominated flick Juno 307 times.
- Purchase 190,657,769 copies of the best movie of all time.
- Hire me for 66,666 Years
Just some perspective, that’s all.
After a weekend full of computer based drama (short story long, I got some nasty adware on my WinXP box, and it took no less than 5 Spyware/Antivirus programs to clean it up), I certainly needed a smile…
Thanks dear interweb, for droppin’ the new international Wall-E trailer in my lap.
This one features more of the plot, and honestly, if it doesn’t make you smile, I do believe you have no soul.
Hopefully this stays up, as Pixar has been killing a lot of the mirrors…not entirely sure why, as I’d want this trailer to be seen by every man, woman and child that could see it…
Summer 2008: Best Movie Summer Ever?
