Even More Sucker Punch Posters... And This Time They Are Vinatage!!!

We have been highlighting tons of images and clips from Zack Snyder's upcoming opus 'Sucker Punch'. I have totally fallen in love with Emily Browning, I can not possibly get enough Jaime Chung, and the rest of these hot bitches can all get it. That's not even bringing up the zombie Nazi's, the fighter pilot sequences, the dragons, the ninja warriors, the guns... yeah, not even all of that stuff. I can NOT wait for this fucking flick... and as we close into the month of its release, we get treated to even cooler 40's era propaganda posters featuring the 5 main characters. Wow... Mr. Snyder, your vision sure seems original. I hope it all makes sense and leads to a great movie. That's what we need to lead into your turn as the new director of The Man of Steel. What do you guys think... is 'Sucker Punch' gonna be worth it? Tell us in the comment section below.

The Rocky Horror DC Comics Picture Show

This wonderful piece of artwork is entitled 'He's the Hero' by Leigh Kellogg.  Everybody knows how much I love 'Rocky Horror...', so this mash-up with some of DC Comic's mightiest heroes is a must post for me.

That's Wonder Woman as 'Janet', Superman as 'Brad', Robin as 'Columbia', Harley Quinn as 'Magenta', Joker as 'Riff Raff', and Batman as 'Dr. Frank-N-Furter'. Here is what the artist had to say about it:

Here's a piece that I did late last year for a Rocky Horror live show group. It’s an homage to the original movie poster showing the cast with a superhero twist, and was used as part of a promo for a special show. I also did the chorus line of legs, but as a separate piece so it could be moved wherever the printer wanted. “He’s the hero, oh yes, the hero."

OK... so who would you guys have play the wheelchair-bound 'Dr. Scott', greaser 'Eddie', and the monster himself 'Rocky'? Tell us in the comments section below.

Boris Vallejo Creates A Movie Poster For The Upcoming Cult Sensation 'Rubber'

Boris Vallejo is one of my all time favorite artists... ever! I love his fantasy themed art that has graced countless book covers and movie posters. He's immortalized Tarzan, Conan, Doc Savage, and every other pulp icon in the paperback copies of their adventures. He also did the art for George A Romero's 'Knightriders', 'Q the Winged Serpent' (one of my 80's faves!), Barbarella, and he even did the awesome posters for Chevy Chase's 'National Lampoon's Vacation' & 'National Lamppoon's European Vacation'. He also contributed to the 'Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie For Theaters' with his wife, and painting partner, Julie Bell. He rarely does movie poster work... and he has come out of his cave to produce a new poster for the upcoming killer tire movie 'Rubber'.

This movie is the buzz of the net right now, and is sure to benefit from the upcoming buzz that it's screening at SXSW is sure to bring. This awesome poster from an unreal artist is definitely going to help the cause:

Nice... the dude's still got it!!! You can click Read more below to see more of the classic movie posters from Boris Vallejo that I mentioned above... these are amazing! I hope you enjoy.

Listen To 'Selene', The Hip Hop Album That Was Inspired By The Film 'MOON'

This is a well crafted mash-up of original rap lyrics from Richard Rich & Max Tannone and the wonderful music that was contained on the score from the movie 'Moon' by Clint Mansell. I love the movie that Duncan Jones (David Bowie's son) created for his first film, and one of the best parts about it was definitely the spooky score that accompanied the isolated space story. I am so excited to get this album on my Ipod! Here is the first few tracks for you to listen to now:

Selene by Max Tannone

You can get the full "Selene" album by clicking here. Lets hope we get some more movie themed musical projects that are as good a quality as this one here. Thanks to Io9 for the tip.

Iron Mike Tyson Makes The Rounds For Oscar Time

I love the fact that Mike Tyson is finding his sense of humor in his retired years. After co-starring in The Hangover and appearing on Entourage, he has appeared in a ton of sketches for websites like Break.com and Funny or Die. Now that it was Oscar time, it seemed like Mike was the go to guy for some of the funnier skits to come out in the last few days. In case you missed them, here they are.

First, we got Funny or Die's "Oscar Talk with Leonard Maltin" that features Mr. Maltin discussing this years Oscar nominees with the former champ... and as expected the results are hysterical.

Oscar Talk with Mike Tyson & Leonard Maltin from Mike Tyson

Next up, we got Tyson taking over for Geoffrey Rush and becoming a speech therapist to George W Bush in a send up of The King's Speech for the Jimmy Kimmel show. This one is great...



Good to see Mr. Mike laughing it all off and having a great time. I am looking forward to seeing him in the upcoming Hangover 2. Stay out of trouble Mike.... and keep up the funny stuff.

Great Music For A Great Scene

Check out this new musical edit on the famous Han Solo/ Leia kiss scene... I love it!!!

Does Tarantino Do Anything Original?

Who? Me? A Thief... Never!!!!

Previously, my answer would have always been yes... the guy is a genius. He is one of my favorite director's, and I hold him in a very high esteem (so high that one of his movies is going to be what is shown at the 2nd Music & Movie night at The Wicked Monk on April 3rd...). With that being said, there is no secret (QT openly admits it himself) that Tarantino is a huge movie fan who often includes homages to rare and obscure films that he considers to be his favorites. We posted a Kill Bill comparison clip last week that showed the tons of movies that QT took from to complete his action/adventure epic, but then friend of CCD Mike White put us onto this clip.



Those suits look familiar, no?

White made this comparison clip to show just how much QT jacked from Ringo Lam's 1987 shitbox movie City On Fire. Now being the huge QT fan that I am, I have heard of the similarities to Lam's movie. But since I never seen it (mostly because of how horrible I heard it was, despite starring Chow Yun Fat), I could never imagine just HOW MUCH QT actually borrowed. Shit, you can't even call it borrowed... QT pulled a straight Compton Jack Move on Lam's whole movie!!! Don't believe me? Check it for yourself:


Who Do You Think You're Fooling? from Mike White on Vimeo.


Kind of hard to stick up for QT after that one, huh? The Kill Bill clip didn't anger me as much, because it was little bits and pieces jacked from dozens of movies. But this one pisses me off a bit for 3 reasons.

1. This is Tarantino's first movie... and the one that I fell in love with. Why QT? This really destroys my image of QT as such an original dialogue writer and director. He basically took a bad movie with a great premise and added some snappy dialogue. He left out the actual robbery, but used dialogue to re-enact Lam's robbery scene (which you see in City on Fire) shot for shot. Kietel's "Blam, Blam, Blam" description of Mr. Blonde in the jewelry store is one of my favorite parts of the flick because of how Taratino makes you use your imagination to see it... and now it is ruined.
2. Without the success of Reservoir Dogs, Tarantino does not get to make Pulp Fiction. Without Pulp Fiction, Tarantino does not become a premiere director in the film industry. We probably wouldn't have gotten all the collabs with Robert Rodriguez (Desperado, Sin City, Grindhouse), nor the resurgence of John Travolta. We damn sure wouldn't have seen Samuel L as a Jedi, and would Steve Buscemi really be top lining Boardwalk Empire had he not killed the part of Mr. Pink so effectively? What a different Holywood reality it would be had Tarantino been exposed as a thief off the rip.
3. This could only have happened in the early 90's. With the rise of the Internet, there is no way you could get away with this shit now a days. Imagine if a director tried to re-appropriate another directors film in plot and actual shots & claimed it to be original? That shit would be all over the net in 2 days flat. Shit, I get hourly updates on exactly which porn pig's asshole Charlie Sheen is freebasing coke out of... you think you can steal a whole movie and no one would notice? Not with all these Internet cops out here.

No... Not The Mexican Standoff Scene... Not That Too!!!

This is all very concerning for me. I don't know how I should feel about Tarantino anymore. I still think he is a great director, and Inglorious Basterd's is so completely original (except it's title... QT jacked that one to!!!) that it makes me smile, but all his success is based on a foundation of lies... god, I am torn!!! Thanks to Mike White for causing this dilemma for me (just kidding, I really appreciate it!), but now I gotta ask you guys: How does this make you feel about QT? Do you still love him, or does this ruin it for you? Please tell me in the comment section below. I really want to hear all your insights, so I ask all my regular readers to please weigh in on this one.

***Bonus***

My god, it gets worse... check out White's follow up, "Your Still Not Fooling Anybody". Damn, my month is ruined.... grrrrrrrr!!!! (shaking my fists at Mike White for enlightening me!!!!)

Happy Munn-Day!

Oh yes...It's Munn-Day, again...Enjoy it!
