Spook Central: Yes Mayor, This Documentary Has No Dick....

The title of this post goes out to all my true Ghostbuster fans. But this mockumentary concept is intriguing to say the least. Following the in the vein of Room 237, Spook Central takes a look behind the "real" meaning of certain aspects of what is probably my favorite 80s comedies. I would totally watch the shit outta this... Now I don't know if this is really a full length documentary or just a mock up trailer, but either way I wanted to share it cause it is a really cool concept. Check out the trailer after the jump..

These Are Animation Ready: Phil Postma Goes Pulp....

Once again Phil Postma knocks it out of the park and gives me a glimpse into what is possible from Pixar. None of these represent actual movies in the pipeline and that is a shame. I would watch any of these properties done in the Pixar style that Phil seem to perfectly replicate here. Check em out after the jump...

Eastbound & Down & Boardwalk Empire Are Close To Returning...

I am a huge fan of many HBO shows, most notably Game of Thrones which just finished up a stellar third season. With True Blood & The Newsroom on the horizon for the summer, we here at CCD are looking a bit further down the road to see what is coming next. Boardwalk Empire & Eastbound & Down are two of my faves, and they will be buoying the fall lineup this year. The Kenny powers teaser is short and sweet, but it does get me ready for some more nuttiness from my favorite Merman. The Boardwalk Empire trailer is short as well, but we get a ton of footage and the first look at Jeffery Wright as Dr. Narcisse. I for one can't wait! Eastbound & Down is back on September 29th and Boardwalk Empire is back on September 8th. Check out the trailers after the jump....

The Many Shields Of Superman

In honor of the release of the Man of Steel tonight, I have found an excellent  infographic detailing the many "S" symbols of Superman's costume.

Here’s another infographic I did for HalloweenCostumes.com, this time illustrating the history of the emblem on Superman’s chest.

Until I researched this, I had no idea just how many variations the shield went through in its first five years, before they settled on the classic design that went mostly unchanged for over five decades.
My previous infographic (illustrating the evolution of Iron Man’s armor) can be seen here.

The North Remembers... And Now You Can Remember Too!!!!

With Season 3 coming to an epic ending this week over on HBO (how can they have made the Red Wedding even more brutal than the books... holy shit!) I am very eager to finally get to Book # 5 in the series, Dance With Dragons. I also feel like George R R Martin is also under pressure to get the long await Book # 6 out... finally. But the thing I love about this series getting so popular has to be some of the cool ass fan art that is invading the interwebs since it has gained so much popularity. Take these really cool House Sigil pictures that were posted over at Unreality. These are all a bit similar (why do they all have dragons in them? That doesn't make much sense.) but they are all really cool looking. I especially like the way the helmets are used. Pretty good stuff. Check em out after the jump... and I'll see you back next season for more pregnant woman stabbing fun!!!!

Jon Marco's 'Rhianna' Music Video Is Pretty Amazing...

... Even if the song is absolutely shit. I don't really know much about Jon Marco the musician... the guy seems to have an OK voice but this song is not really my cup of tea. But he uses some green screen magic and fantastic editing to take a magnificent journey through the best movies of the late 70s and early 80s while chasing his fantasy girl. Really cool concept that is executed extremely well despite the fact that they probably had a non existent budget. I don't know about the lyrics, but the video will put a smile on the face of any fan of these great generation of movies. Check out the video after the jump...

Caption Collages From The God's Of Tumblr

Tumblr is a great resource for finding amazing pieces of art, but it can also be frustrating when you are trying to figure out who created the pieces of art. Take these awesome collages featuring killer catch phrases from comics. It is like the 60s Batman TV show brought to life. Cal dug these puppies up and they are fantastic. Just wish I knew who made 'em. Check them out after the jump...

William Shatner Makes Everything Better... Even Where The Wild Things Are!!!!

William Shatner is one of those legendary actors who can't do any wrong any more. They might have had ups and downs throughout their careers, and missteps as well... but they have reached that level of untouchable status that makes them bulletproof. And then they do things that add to their legend... things like Shatner did the other day at the Denver Comic Con. Shatty sat down with a group of young kids and read them Where The Wild Things Are aloud to them. Captain Kirk himself... using his trademark humor and nuttiness to its fullest extent. But the thing that makes this video so great has to be the fact that he looks like he is enjoying himself so much. Those kids are having fun too... they might not fully realize who it is talking at them, but someday it will be a story for them to tell. He was not Captain Kirk or Mr. Shatner that day... he was just Billy!!! Great tidbit that truly made me smile. Check out the full video after the jump...

Grayson: Earth One Season # 1, Episode # 1

“Grayson: Earth One” season one is a non profit six episode season dedicated to exploring the origin story of the DC character known as Nightwing — but with a twist. The twist being that Richard Grayson has never had the good fortune of being adopted as a child by Bruce Wayne, thus never becoming the boy wonder. Instead, we have a Richard Grayson that had to fend for himself on the unforgiving streets of Gotham and, even worse, the streets of Bludhaven. A character that has to overcome years of dog eat dog mentality to become a selfless and kind individual. To ultimately fulfill his destiny and become a HERO.

Of course, changing that single event within Richard Grayson’s life sends a ripple across the entire DC universe. It changes the history of characters such as Bruce Wayne, Barbara Gordon, Helena Bertinelli and their adversaries too.

I enjoyed this. The Batman looked a little funny around his cowl and that lessens the effect of his appearance. Aside from that I liked this first episode. The changes they made make sense and I hope to see how this rocker becomes a hero. I could see this on the CW following ARROW.

The Best Cosplay From The 2013 Philly Wizard World Comic Con

One of the coolest parts about comic cons has to be the Cosplay. People are dressing up more and more, and the costumes are getting way more detailed and intricate. There is a whole cottage industry wrapped around selling costume components and accessories, and even photographing cosplayers professionally. But in the end it comes down to your favorite fictional comic characters being brought to life right in front of your eyes. So here are about 60 pics that I took from my day over at the 2013 Philly Wizard World Comic Con. Now I must preface this by saying that I am not as great a photographer as Joe Fletch (our resident con photographer was on the disabled list with a knee injury) and I was also in the company of a 10 year old who I had to keep an eye on. So I did the best I could. These cosplayers really did their thing, so I gotta show them some love. Hope you enjoy them all...
