Finally... The Avengers Truly Assemble!!!


It's about fucking time!!! After about seventy five different cuts of the trailer, tons of international trailers, fan made trailers, and other types of video clips... we FINALLY get a chance to see the full Avengers squad ACTUALLY FIGHTING in the new trailer just released today. Yup, the whole crew. We get to see a transformed Hulk wrecking shit and doing his best Willie Mays impression (you will get the analogy after you watch the trailer), Hawkeye being athletic and shooting his bow, and Iron Man/Cap/Thor kicking each others asses in typical in-fighting fashion that has always taken place in the pages of the Avengers. My only question is what the fuck is Black Widow going to do with a snub nose 9 millimeter handgun against intergalactic enemies?   Maybe Scar Jo just plans to smother the invaders in her ample boobage.... now that would have made the trailer complete, no?

Plus, here is the newest poster:


Inspector Gadget VHS Box Art by Sean Hartter


I hate to keep jerking on Sean Hartter's nutsack, but my man keeps putting out quality re-imaginings and mash-ups daily and he deserves to be recognized. The kid just has an amazing eye for details and always finds very creative ways to portray classic properties that all of us nerds love. Today he features a mecha suit version of Inspector Gadget that is super cool, and it even features the DIC tagline of the company responsible for bringing the good old Inspector to our afternoon cartoon programming. It's the little things that make his pieces great. Click after the jump to see the full pic...




Blood Car: Bringing Grindhouse Movies Into The 21st Century!!!


Blood Car. Wow. What a genius idea! I sure am glad that we live in an era when Grindhouse-style films are back en vogue to make. Listen, here is the truth... films like this are fun, they have lots of tits & blood/gore, and really do not rely on a feasible story to be enjoyable. Plus it has a self explanatory title that seems to be close to what the story seems to actually be about. That's what made them great in the past, and that is what is making them popular again now. 'Blood Car' is continuing down the path that was blazed by the Taratino/Rodriguez Grindhouse double feature, 'Machete', 'Rubber' and Hobo With A Shotgun'... and it is doing it in a way that seems quite fun to be a part of. Just check out the trailer after the jump and tell me that you are not even a tiny bit interested...



BLOOD CAR movie trailer from Left on Vimeo.


Yup... a car that runs on blood to combat out of control gas prices. It's socially relevant, but also absurd at the exact same time. Plus there is tons of tits, random acts of violence, and car graveyard sex. Plus this Anna Chlumsky is pretty hot. Yup, I'm in.... how about you? Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

What Does This New Poster Say About The Upcoming Season Of Mad Men?


I'm not real sure, but I know just how smart the writers can be on this show... and given that the show is about the advertising industry, I do not think that there is absolutely nothing connected to this naked mannequin. What do you guys think? Check out the full poster after the jump and leave some comments as to what you think it all means...



God I Miss Me Some Patrick Swayze!!!

Red Letter Media is known for their epic critiques of the Star Wars prequel trilogy. Those were kind of funny, but the time has come for them to move on to some bigger and better things. One of these things they have jumped into is the development of supercut videos, where they take "All the..." of something in a particular movie and edit it together into a one minute clip. Today you are going to be treated to "All the punches in the face that take place in Roadhouse". Yup, I just typed that. God I miss Patrick Swayze. Who else could rock a mullet and tight ass pants like that and still kick major ass? R.I.P. you heavenly angel of a man. Click after the jump to see the video...



Mega Morphs by Lou Kang

Check out this very cool concept entitled Mega Morphs, which are basically giant robot versions of your favorite Marvel heroes. Think giant Transformers with the powers/weapons of Wolverine, Spider-man, Ghost Rider, and others. The artwork is done by artist Lou Kang. This would be so fucking cool. It reminds me of the robot versions of the Avengers from the Marvel animated feature Young Avengers. Lets hope they find a way to get this done. It could be really cool. See the full size pics after the jump...

Happy Munn Day!!!


It's Munn-Day baby!!!! Wooooo hooooo!!! Pay attention ladies... this is how you should look on a Red Carpet. These pictures come from the Vanity Fair party on Saturday. I can't find any pictures of Olivia at the Oscars (not sure if she went) but this will have to do. enjoy the pics...




The Oscars Sucked Balls... But Sacha Baron Cohen Gets The Last Laugh!!!

The Oscars were soooo boring last night that I actually fell asleep... and I do not mean that figuratively! I literally passed out a bit after Octavia Spencer won her Best supporting Actress award and woke up right before The Artist won Best Picture. For those of you keeping score, that means the Oscar broadcast put me in a coma for approximetly  2 hours. I am no expert, but I DO NOT think that the goal of the show is to induce sleep in it's viewers... but I digress. The show is a mess, and even though I swore I wouldn't watch it  I was right there up until I passed out. For a movie lover like me, this is disheartening. Someone like me should be looking forward to the Oscars, but with the slights of epic movies/acting performances (Drive, Bridesmaids, The Muppets, Tin Tin, Harry Potter VII and Ryan Gosling all caught multiple hoses in the nomination process) and the lame ass actual show I am no longer anticipating the show anymore. But leave it to Sacha Baron Cohen to semi save the night and make it something more than a total loss. Click after the jump for what Cohen did on the Red Carpet that most people didn't even see...



Sacha Baron Cohen has a long history of acting up at Award Shows, and the Oscars tried to limit his antics by telling him he was not allowed to attend the ceremony dressed as the character from his new upcoming movie "The Dictator". They were afraid he would use this costume as an opportunity to do something crazy. After taking lots of flack for telling someone what to wear on the Red Carpet, the Oscar crew relented and allowed him to attend the show in costume. Then this happened on the Carpet:



Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!! Cohen dumped Kim Jong Il's ashes all over Ryan Seacrest, ruining his tux for the rest of the pre game show and maybe even the show itself. Judging by Seacrest's reserved yet pissed off reactions after the ashing took place, I do not think he was privy to the joke. Good for Cohen... who got the last laugh now Academy? It's sad when some pre show shenanigans are the most interesting thing to talk about after a 3 hour plus award show... get it together Oscars!!!!

Stephen King Reads From 'Dr. Sleep', His Sequel To 'The Shining'... I Promptly Faint & Bash My Head On My Coffee Table!!!

The Shining is without a doubt Stephen king's most famous work. That is not belittling his other works... this guy has sold more books than Jesus himself. But due to the fact that Stanley Kubrick decided to adapt the novel for a movie (albeit by changing tons of shit from King's original novel and Jack Nicholson's famous "Here's Johnny!!!" axe wielding portrayal of Jack Torrance) and it became wildly popular, it has always been regarded as the touchstone of King's literary works. Last year King announced a new book, entitled 'Dr. Sleep', which is a legitimate sequel to The Shining. I almost fainted at the thought of the return of Danny Torrance... where would King take this character with the psychic ability to "Shine"? Well, King is starting to do public readings from the novel in preparation of it's release (no official release date as of yet, but I'm assuming its somewhere near the end of 2012-beginning of 2013) and somebody cell phone cam-ed him reading the first chapter of the book. I almost fainted...   This one sounds great!!! Catch the clip & book synopsis after the jump and tell me what you think about this upcoming sequel project.....





Here is the synopsis for the book:

"The last time readers saw Danny he was recovering from his ordeal at the Overlook Hotel at a resort in Maine with fellow survivors Wendy Torrance and chef Dick Halloran (who dies in the Kubrick film version). King remarked that though he ended his 1977 novel on a positive note, the Overlook was bound to have left young Danny with a lifetime’s worth of emotional scars. What Danny made of those traumatic experiences, and with the psychic powers that saved him from his father at the Overlook, is a question that King believes might make a damn fine sequel. In King’s still tentative plan for the novel, Danny is now 40 years old and living in upstate New York, where he works as the equivalent of an orderly at a hospice for the terminally ill. Danny’s real job is to visit with patients who are just about to pass on to the other side, and to help them make that journey with the aid of his mysterious powers. Danny also has a sideline in betting on the horses, a trick he learned from his buddy Dick Hallorann."

There is also a group called The Tribe, who are a group of roving Vampires. Instead of searching out Danny for his blood, they are looking to tap him of his psychic energies. Wow.... wow!!!!

I'm excited about this... how about you???

I Can't Wait...

Mad Men Season 5 is right around the corner, coming to your TV on March 25th. This is very late for the AMC hit show, which usually airs around the summertime. Considering that this is the first season I will be watching in real time (I caught up on seasons 1-4 via Netflix Instant), I am starting to get antsy. In order to sedate the public's needs of everything Draper & Co, AMC has released little teaser clips for all the key returning characters of the show. Even though I can't wait to see all of them together, these 30 second teasers are certainly getting the juices flowing. Especially the ice queen January Jones & her fiery redheaded counterpart Christina Hendricks... my god I miss Betty & Joan!!! Check after the jump for the individual clips, and tune in for the season 5 premiere on March 25th...

Everybody Is Back:

Up Wars: The Golden Years by James Hance

Mashups come and go, but having that certain "wow" factor is what differentiates the great ones from the average. James Hance is certainly taking his artwork towards the great side of the aisle. Today's mash-up features a much older Han Solo & Princess Leia getting the ole Pixar 'Up' makeover. It is heartfelt and moving, and honestly perfectly thought out.
