Decent Dark Knight spoof trailer. Not the funniest thing ever but cute.

Wanna see the Michael Bay script for Dark Knight? Of course you do. Go click and read the AWESOMENESS!

“But which one of the internets do we hack?” “All of them.”

“She is the hottest woman in the world, but she wears glasses because she is also the smartest woman in the world.”

(And yes of course it’s fake, damn your eyes. But it is exactly what the film would be. And I, for one, want to see it made.)

(via Amanda, via Filmstalker): Sacha Baron Cohen to play Freddie Mercury?

“According to The Mirror newspaper through Digital Spy, one of those pesky insiders has told them that Sacha Baron Cohen is the forerunner for the role ([In a Freddie Mercury bio-pic]and that Cohen loves the idea of the role, especially since his character of Borat looked so similar anyway.

Well I was very skeptical of the rumour of Depp being involved, even though it came from the mouth of Queen guitarist Brian May, but this rumour seems much more plausible. Look at the man himself, although he’s way taller than Mercury was, he has a great look and is a strong character actor.”

———————–

It is a rumor. The last rumor was Depp which would have been awful. I’m sorry, it would have. Cohen looks enough like Mercury and he is good at sliding into characters I think he could do it. No, obviously, it isn’t Borat but don’t forget that the man did a wealth of stuff before Borat and has serious talent.

I am more worried about the movie itself. It runs, of course, the risk of the Behind The Music movie syndrome, as Amanda put it. But if May is involved, and he is it would seem, then I will have faith.

And either way I will go see it. Seriously. A Freddie Mercury Bio-pic? I am so there. Good or bad. But I’m gonna hope for good.

New Bond movie. New Bond trailer.

And if you think the title to the new Bond film is dumb, well I can explain what it means to you, I guess. But I honestly can’t see why anyone wouldn’t like it as a title. It has flow, it has depth and meaning, what else do you need for a good title, exactly?

Over at Gizmodo there was a contest to create images of what Bill Gates would be up to when he retires. There are a lot of funny entires but this one made me cackle:

Yuen Biao has always been an amazing gymnast and martial artist. Here is about 6 minutes worth of clips. They vary in all sorts of ways but sound warning they do vary widley in volume as the thing plays so you prolly wanna bottom out the video and just watch it. Very worth watching. Around the 5 minute mark, for the lazy, he pretty much stops being human.

Amazon has a bunch of War/Westerns for CHEAP. Seriously.

Click that link and, among others, you’ll find:

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (2 disc S.E.) for 10 bucks.

Tora! Tora! Tora! for, well you know … I mean holy shit. This sale is like a little slice of heaven.

John Belden comes through with a fantastic thing he shared. A Star Wars danceoff. Disney did Star Wars weekends and this was part of it. Hysterical shit. Watch a wookie and Jawa get down! See the Queen and her daughter strut. And then… watch Vader… well you have to just watch Vader.

Not the best or funniest thing ever but hey, it’s Sunday afternoon. This is worth a bit of time on a Sunday.

And you all know where this is going. I had to make it. I did.
