The Truth About Gunfights in the Old West.
Recently Neatorama posted The Truth About Gunfights in the Old West. While we probably knew most of the liberties taken in Hollywood gunfights, the piece is still a fun and interesting read.
Total Recall: Making Your Fantasy Come True
Here are the viral posters that are starting to make the rounds to promote the Total Recall remake. I’m looking forward to the movie. I also wonder how long it will be before a company decides to make it their business to make fantasies come true.
Thank to ComingSoon for covering the movies that make our fantasies come true… at least for a couple of hours at a time.
Moreno’s “Rambo: Last Stand”
Gerardo Moreno is back with his version of how a new Rambo movie poster could look. I’ve always enjoyed Gerardo’s Stallone art, but this may be his best piece ever. To see more of his art, click here.
Walt Simonson Goes Solo in The Judas Coin
Walt Simonson is a comic book all-star. Simonson is best known for his work on Marvel’s Thor and DC’s Manhunter, [although his teaming with Archie Goodwin for a graphic novel adaptation of Alien is my personal favorite].
Walt Simonson is back with a graphic novel called The Judas Coin which spans 1600 years in the DC universe and features a variety of characters including Batman, Two Face, Bat Lash and others. You can learn more about it here, but the fact that Walt Simonson drew it, is probably all most folks need to know to add it to their pull list.
Thanks and a big “heads you win” to CBR.com.
An Extended Look at Arrow
I’ve never watched a show on the CW. This extended preview for Arrow makes me think that is about to change.
Django is Off the Chain!
There was a period of time when Quentin Tarantino could do no wrong. This trailer for his next film, Django, looks like Tarantino is once again hitting on all cylinders.
It’s Good to be King
Normally one would think that it’s good to be king, but the way Walter White’s luck runs, my guess it will be: “Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown.”
If you’re not watching Breaking Bad on AMC, you’re missing out on one of the best shows currently airing.
“Abe Lincoln: Vampire Hunter” Gets 2 New Teasers
The fearless vampire hunters over at ComingSoon posted two new tv treasers for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. I like ’em both.
Jamie Foxx is One Bad Cowboy
That’s one mean lookin’ cowboy. Almost hard to believe it’s Jamie Foxx in a publicity still for Quentin Tarantino’s Django set for a Christmas 2012 release. I’m a Tarantino fan and apparently so are Leonardo DiCaprio, Christoph Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson, Gerald McRaney, Don Johnson, Anthony LaPaglia, Tom Wopat, James Remar, and James Russo since they’re appearing in the film along with Jamie Foxx.
You can see more stills for Django here thanks to the cowboys at ComingSoon.
Chris Flick Awards Sly…
Chris Flick of Capes and Babes makes his first appearance in my Stallone Theme Sketch Collection. I had the good fortune to sit with Chris, Thomas Zahler of Love and Capes , LittleJohn312 and Patricia at last year’s Heroes Con Drink and Draw event. What a great evening! Ah, but I digress…
Chris Flick worked up this cool sketch of Sly accepting a well-deserved award for his amazing working on Rambo. You can learn more about Chris as well as check out his popular Cape and Babes webcomic.
Premium Rush Could Be
Premium Rush looks like it could be.
A bicycle messenger [Joseph Gordon-Levitt] is given a package that has to be delivered in 90 minutes. When a mysterious man tries to take the package, Levitt finds himself in a life or death situation with some very bad people.
The Walking Dead Marathon is Coming [to get you, Barbara]!
AMC has announced that it will run a Walking Dead marathon of all 19 episodes on July 7th and 8th. The event will also feature the world premiere television broadcast of the first episode in black and white, as well as a sneak peak at season three.
Thanks and a full color tip o’ the sheriff’s hat to Spinnoff Online.
Did You Hear About the Time-Traveling Attorney?
Andrew Basiago is a Seattle attorney who, since 2004, has been publicly proclaiming that as a child he was involved in a government sponsored time-travel program known as Project Pegasus. According to Basiago, the US government has had time-travel technology for over 40 years.
Basiago further claims that, as a child he time-traveled to [and was photographed at] Gettysburg when Lincoln gave his famous speech. If you click over to this article at the Huffington Post, you can see the photograph from 1863 of the child that Basiago claims is him, taken while on his time-travel mission. You can also view a video of Basiago talking about his time-travel experiences.
Wow! Andrew Basiago’s claims make his childhood sound like a cross between Johnny Quest and The Time Tunnel. Both of which, were more plausible.
