Wow!
Have you seen Ruin by Wes Ball? Amazing, huh?
Ruin is better than a lot of stuff that makes it to the big screen. Wes Ball is a name to watch. While we’re keeping an eye out for names, let’s add Kevin Riepl to the list for his excellent score.
The new trailer for The Three Stooges has, uh, hit.
It’s no secret that I’m a Stooges fan, heck, aren’t all guys? Before you click on the link below, let me warn you: There’s one mild profanity and it’s followed by a lot of slaps, punches, eye-pokes, and falls that aren’t that funny. I did smile though when I saw the look on Curley’s face at Larry’s prolonged yell when the lobster got a hold him.
Now that you’ve been warned, click away, if you’d like to see the new Three Stooges trailer.
So we’ve watched the Prometheus trailer forty-seven times and you’re still trying to sort it out. Seems to me we have two options:
1] Keep watching the trailer.
2] Wait for the movie.
Even if you’re not a Star Wars fan [and maybe especially if you’re not], you’ll probably get a kick out of this Jedi safety training video.
Way back in 2007, we first learned about a project called Iron Sky. The idea was that right before the end of World War II, Nazis secretly escaped to the dark side of the moon where they started a new society. The tale set in 2018 told the story of their return to conquer the Earth.
Now that Iron Sky has been completed, the first four minutes are available for viewing.
This week we have Sly from Expendables 2 by Tom Hodges. I discovered Tom’s art through his DA site. I saw that Tom was going to be drawing live on UStream so I commissioned several sketches. Tom still draws regularly on UStream and it’s always a blast watching him sketch and interacting with the crowd.
The photo above is just one of 25 rarely seen photos of Marilyn Monroe that Julien’s Auction House is selling. The photos come from the private collection of Ms. Monroe’s long time makeup artist and personal confidant, Allan “Whitey” Snyder.
It’s hard to believe if Marilyn Monroe was still alive she’d be almost 86 years old. Instead of growing old, Marilyn Monroe will remain an ageless icon. Whitey Snyder captured that beauty in those rare pictures [a couple of which were taken on location when Ms. Monroe was filming River of No Return with Robert Mitchum].
Just received word from Sly today… and I quote
That’s right. Sly says that Expendables II will be rated R.
That’s Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in a new photo from GI Joe: Retaliation. I imagine GI Joe: Retaliation will do good business with The Rock and Bruce Willis leading the team. As for me, I can’t wait for The Rock in Ciudad.
It’s been a week since we talked about Riddick, so how about a pic from the set?
Since we were talking about Sin City yesterday. I thought you might like to see some character designs for a Sin City game that never got past the development stage. [And don’t some of those design drawings look like something that John Beatty drew? He didn’t.]
That’s a detail from a new banner for Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows. I hope that Burton’s Dark Shadows isn’t too campy.
One of my favorite comic characters [Marv] will return to the big screen this summer! Robert Rodriguez announced filming of Sin City 2 this summer!
