The Star Trek Trailer

The crew above, aboard the USS Enterpr--Apple Store.

The trailer will be featured with "The Quantum Of Solace" on Nov 14th. but if you can't wait, read below:

The trailer begins with a '60s Corvette convertible speeding down the road with the police in pursuit. The driver, a 13-year-old boy, leaps from the car as it goes off a cliff. The police officer comes to a stop on a hover bike and asks, "Who are you? What's Your Name?"

The boy replies, "James Tiberius Kirk!" (Lame) the trailer jumps to an older Kirk (Chris Pine) as he rides a hover bike while voice over says, "You never found yourself here, you never really fit in. What you choose to do with you’re life is up to you."Kirk stares at a futuristic building and the voice over begins again, "Maybe you were meant for something different, something bigger."

Next is Spock's mother (Winona Ryder) holding a baby Vulcan saying, "You will always be a part of two worlds."

The crew walking around the bridge. A 20ish Spock angrily pointing at a 20ish Kirk saying, "I will not be lectured by you!" an angry Kirk in Spock's face shouts, "Why don't you do something about it!?!"(Uggg.) Spock fights Kirk.

At this point, the trailer goes ape shit with action, effects, ships fire, people being thrown, crew members run, phaser fire and engine nacels explode etc..

Now you don't have to sit through the trailer.

George Lucas Must Be Stopped

George Lucas is a billionaire several times over doesn't he have enough money? Will he ever stop the raping of my childhood?

The R2-D2® Aquarium.

Modeled after the most well-known astromech droid in the galaxy, this R2-D2 holds a 1 3/4-gallon aquarium tank in his central compartment, ideal for a small freshwater family of goldfish, gouramis, or tetras. The domed head rotates with any vocal command you issue and he utters his familiar "bleeps" from the Star Wars® movies. His radar eye houses the eyepiece to a built-in periscope that provides an intimate view of the aquatic activity below, allowing you to watch your charges swim towards the food you've dropped in from the dome's removable feeding door. Includes filter and overhead LED tank lights that randomly morph between red, blue, and green (lights can be disabled). Includes a two-sided waterproofed cardboard insert depicting scenes from the movie as a background.

The Danish Girl

Charlize Theron will star with Nicole Kidman in a movie called The Danish Girl, based on a novel about real life Danish artists and husband and wife Einar and Greta Wegener.

In the 1920s, the male Einar (Kidman) posed as a woman for his painter wife Greta (Theron).
The portraits became all the rage in Copenhagen, which prompted Greta to encourage Einar to dress as a woman.
By 1931, the husband took his role another step and underwent a landmark sex-change operation that had repercussions not only in their home but also around the world.

Ugg...Zack Snyders"Watchmen"

WATCHMEN director Zack Snyder confirmed rumors that the ending of the film is not the same as the graphic novel.There was a meltdown among hardcore "fanboys" when a test screening of the film in Portland, depicted an ending that does not include the squid-like creature of the comic book.

"The one thing that was cool was that anyone who had read the graphic novel who was at the screening rated the film 'excellent' - for me I'm like 'I'm done'. The fans, God love 'em, they're all up in arms about the squid. What they should be up in arms about are things like shooting the pregnant woman, 'God is real and he's American', whether THAT'S in the movie. That's my point of view, maybe I'm crazy."

"The squid was not in the movie when I got the script, the squid was never in any draft that I saw. My point is only that there was this elegant solution to the squid problem that I kind of embraced."

Asked about the new ending he said: "I won't say exactly but Doctor Manhattan has a certain energy signature, it's clearly his thing."

*Highlight For Spoiler*

Ozymandias detonates bombs in major cities around the world that have the same energy signature as Dr. Manhattan thus uniting the world against a common enemy(Dr. Manhattan) and eliminating the threat of nuclear war between Russia and the USA.

Call me a "fanboy" but I dug the original ending and can't stand the glossy Batman & Robin (1997) styled costumes (with nipples) they went with. I'm with Alan Moore on never watching it but if I do, I'll catch it on TV. Thanks Zack.

Japanese Batman by Jiro Kuwata Republished

"Bat-Manga" is out and for Batman purists it is like discovering the holy grail. Jiro Kuwata created a Japanese take on Batman and Robin when he licensed the characters when the television series was at its height in the U.S. "Bat-Manga!" is not the weighty, thinky "Secret History of Batman in Japan" that its subtitle suggests. Instead, it's an exhilarating pop-cultural artifact: This here is an alternate Batman, as interpreted in the '60s through an Asian filter. Kidd & Co. — photographer Geoff Spear, co-researcher Saul Ferris and translator Anne Ishii — have essentially renovated illustrator Jiro Kuwata's short-lived, long-forgotten Japanese take on the title, which hit the East in the wake of the campy TV series' international popularity.
