Disney Acquires Marvel... End of Times???

Well it looks like our children are going to be assaulted w/ horrible crossovers for decades to come... With Disney buying Marvel for $4Billion, I now fear a Wall-E and Wolverine series (they will be the perfect odd couple, oh and picture this... Wall-E rummaging through everything to find silverware. This silverware he now holds between his fingers, just so he can be like his bestest buddy *w00LVeeee*...)

Anyway, more HERE thanks to /Film

Shaun of the Dead Inspired Bar

First Teaser Photo of the NEW Freddy Krueger

Now I'm not a fan of the Nightmare on Elm Street series (stop hating, I'll tell you why)... When I was younger I never watched horror films, they really didn't internist me... Years later however, I've gone back and watch a few (like "Prom Night") and have enjoyed them... So I'll probably watch the series before this new one comes out...

The real reason I posted this, is b/c Jackie Earle Haley is playing Freddy, and he is an amazing actor...

THE END

Thanks to /Flim

9 - New Poster = QR Code FUN!!!

Is it b/c I'm a nerd that I love this poster??? You don't have to answer that...

For those in the know, you should have taken your picture by now and followed the new content...

As for everyone else what you see in that poster is a QR Code, or a Quick Response Code... Essentially a super bar code (like on everyday items)... Why is this cool you ask??? Well I'll tell you...

Once you take a picture of the QR Code and analyze it w/ some software it will give you special information... This one for instance gives you a url for an "exclusive video" for 9...

These codes are hidden all over the world (much like Geo-Caching), so go explore...

For those iPhone users, check out Barcode
For those w/ a Blackberry check here
For those w/ a camera check here (it's just a google search)
and for everyone else, here is the url...

and lastly, thanks to /Film for the heads up on the poster

Big Fan - Trailer

Patton Oswalt is one of those actors that never seems to get the roles that showcase his talent... I've been a fan of his since watching an interview he did w/ some late night talk show host... and I'm quite excited to watch this (even though I'm not a sports fan)...

Check out the run down of the film at (you guessed it) /Film...

Robogeisha - Trailer

All I have to say about this trailer is summed up in the following:

Thanks (I think) again /Film

Alice in Wonderland is Going to be a Sequel

According to /Film the new Alice in Wonderland is going to be a sequel...

The film is actually a sequel to the original story, and follows Alice, now 17 years old, as she escapes from a snooty party and follows a white rabbit down a hole, back to Wonderland. The White Rabbit is convinced that he has the right girl, the one who had visited the magical land ten years prior. But Alice doesn’t remember her past visit to Wonderland. The creatures of Wonderland are ready to revolt and are hoping/waiting for Alice to help them, but will she? Can she?

This sounds a blend of Through the Looking Glass and The Looking Glass Wars... which would be amazing, b/c Hatter Madigan is a fantastic character... but who knows, that's just speculation now...

Bo Burnham Needs Your Help!!!

THE Bo Burnham is collaborating w/ Judd Apatow to create a feature film about High School, and music (ha, see how I skirted any reference to High School Musical... *pats self on back*)

It seems like Bo is looking for some help w/ ideas... so go follow him up on twitter (@boburnham) and collaborate w/ this collaboration...

Check out all the info here from /Film (aka Sexy Land)

Movie Pirates Are Communists, says director Milos Forman

Our friends buddys complete-strangers-that-we-don't-know over at /Film have a great piece about Director Milos Forman, and his opinions on movie pirates... It's interesting as to what older directors have to say about the way media is handled these days... Check it out here while I paint my room red (where does one get that official Communist red paint???)
