If I recall correctly the original sucked so I’m really not sure why the world needs another one.  But for some reason I still see this making money. Not sure why…

… wait yes I do.

Here’s a link to a bigger size for those of you that want it.

it wasn’t until I was surfing Wikipedia this evening that I realized how timely our brief back-and-forth regarding evolution was. Today happens to be the 83rd anniversary of the sentencing Scopes Monkey Trial.

I find it disheartening that 83 years later some people insist on trying to push religion in public schools while vilifying the progress of science. How anyone could read the transcripts of that trial, in which Clarence Darrow literally crushes William Jennings Bryan with his own words, and still argue for the concept of creationism to be taught as fact just staggers me.

Edit: It’s probably not a coincidence that Slate ran this article earlier this afternoon, which raises an interesting point I had never considered.

I remember reading Watchmen in middle school; transcendence isn’t often attributed to comic books, but this one forever changed my world-view, in ways no other work of fiction has. It’s been an interminable wait for the movie version…over the past twenty years, some of the most gifted filmmakers alive have taken a stab at adapting it, including Terry Gilliam, Darren Aaronofsky, Guillermo del Toro, and Paul Greengrass. Finally, it’s really happening under 300 director, Zack Snyder.

Watchmen trailer

This is the best trailer I’ve ever seen. The movie’s out on March 6, 2009.

I just found this brilliant line of ‘Teach The Controversy’ t-shirts from the people over at wearscience. The pure bullshit behind the whole ‘Intelligent Design’ nonsense has always pissed me off to no end. I wonder if there’s an address where I can send Ben Stein a few…

This is an amazing, fan-made, teaser trailer for the Watchmen movie, due out in March, 2009. A legit teaser is expected to premiere in theaters this weekend, in front of The Dark Knight.

Trailer for Frank Miller’s The Spirit…general reaction seems to be negative, but I’m fugging in love with it.

Moon Man is one of the stranger, rascistier memes spawned by YTMND, but he actually waxes a bit insightful and makes some sense, for a change, in this clip…

I waited quite a while to write this review, and for good reason. There was alot of knee-jerk reactionary hate directed towards Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (KotCS) when it was first released; reviews claiming their childhoods had been ‘molested’ or internet posters renaming the film with titles such as ‘Indiana Jones Episode 4: The Phantom Skull’ were everywhere, and the fanboy effect was quickly in full swing. Thus, despite having quite a few things I wanted to say about KotCS, I waited for some time to pass in order to present a non-reactionary, objective opinion.

This movie is terrible. I mean, wholly and truly awful.

Not a big fan of the Hulk or Thor but Wolverine kicks ass. The movie official drops on dvd/blue ray in Jan 2009 but but there’s a screening at the San Diego Comicon this month. So if you can grab a seat you’ll get to watch the whole shabang.
Hulk vs Wolverine trailer:

Another Dark Knight Trailer. Unfortunately I can’t embed it in the page so here’s a link. Seriously I’m starting to feel like I’ve seen all of the cool parts of this movie.

Watched “Wanted” over the weekend. It was no Ultraviolet, aka Ultra-garbage, but it was far from good. Right out of the gate they have this stupid car chase with a Viper that can’t outrun a fucking delivery truck. Maybe I looked away from the screen and missed the stack of nitrous in the cargo hold. Another issue I had was that the whole curving bullets thing just wasn’t that cool. Instead of curving bullets their super power should have been “bullet time”, that would have kicked mad ass! Speaking of bullet time there’s actually a Max Payne movie coming out. Glad to see they kept that hack Boll away from it. I won’t say that I hated Wanted but there were just too many cheese ball moments that kept me from enjoying it. They should have went with the actual story from the comic which is far superior to the storyline they used.
Oh well, Jolie looked hot as always. Best line in the film -

Morgan Freeman - “Shoot that muthafucka!”

L8!
