Happy Cinco De Mayo from Machete!

May 5, 2010 1 comment

Robert Rodriguez has made an “illegal” trailer for his new film Machete with a special message for Arizona: Don’t f*ck with this Mexican!  In honor of Cinco De Mayo, I’m posting this trailer for your enjoyment.  As you’ll recall from my previous Machete post, this film is about almost the same thing that is going on in Arizona right now.  Kind of weird, huh?  Think about what kind of damage this guy would do, Arizona! 

Batman 3 details revealed!

April 30, 2010 1 comment

Courtesy of E! Online:

“Same bat channel, new bat time.

Warner  Bros. isn’t about to let little details like no title, no production start date, and no locked-down plot to stop it from setting up a tentpole, as the studio today announced a July 20, 2012, release date for the third installment of the rebooted Batman franchise.

Christian Bale will be back in the cown under the direction of Christopher Nolan.

With the release date now set, Nolan is currently hashing out a story for the Dark Knight followup, which already faces some steep competition.  Also headed to the big screen in 2012: The Avengers (May 4), Battleship (May 25), Star Trek 2 (June 29), and what will likely be the Bat’s biggest competition: the Spider-Man reboot’s reboot (July 3).

Comic geeks, get ready.”

Ok folks, I am beyond super-psyched to hear this news!  I know I’m not the only one who has been waiting to hear when this film will be released.  I’m just not sure that I would call the Spider-Man reboot it’s biggest competition, but maybe that’s just me.  How do you feel about this news?
