<p>When the first trailer for <strong><em>The Dark Knight Rises</em></strong> hit, there was a little Easter egg included that was spotted. I guess you might consider this a spoiler, but the Easter egg was confirmed in a synopsis on the back of a children's story book for the film. It confirms the connection between Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Basically the trailer showed Selina Kyle, a.k.a. Catwoman wearing the necklace of Bruce Wayne's mother that was shown in the original <em>Batman Begins</em>. I just assumed at the time that she stole it from Wayne Manor. We got a lot of mocking comments about this little discovery saying...</p>
<blockquote>
<p><span>- Not obviously, the necklace was destroyed when his mother was killed, you saw the bead scatter all over the ground, it's more a case of prop re-use than anything else.</span></p>
<p><span><span>- This. I can't believe people are still going on about this necklace when it's obviously just a prop being reused.</span></span></p>
<p>- Perhaps, or they could have simply used the same prop in 2 different movies for 2 different scenes.<br />The PKE meter in Ghostbusters was used in a few other movies.&nbsp;Plus it's a very simple and frequently-copied design.</p>
<p><span>- assuming that weeping boy Bruce managed to retrieve the broken pearls in the alleyway or maybe some honest gotham cop did, the mansion burned down, Bruce's Dad's stethoscope didn't survive the blaze what would make us believe the pearls would? They must be some magic pearls, Batsuit should be made of them pearls.</span></p>
<p><span><span>- How utterly ridiculous.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span><span>- I thought this was gonna be something about The Joker.&nbsp; Because if you look at the close-up picture of the necklace.......it kind of looks like a smile.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span>- It's not necessarily an easter egg. Pearl necklaces are EXTREMELY common. Who says she stole it from Wayne, besides, the Manor was burnt in Begins. Who says she even stole it in the first place? Maybe it's her own necklace. I think it's just over-thinking on some parts in that everything is an easter egg.&nbsp;</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Well, I'm here to tell you today that you are all wrong. According to the book synopsis from <a href="http://www.harpercollinschildrens.com/books/Dark-Knight-Rises-Batman-Versus-Catwoman/?isbn13=9780062132215&amp;tctid=100">HarperCollins</a>...</p>
<blockquote>
<p><span>There's a ferocious feline in town, and she's out to steal from Gotham's wealthy citizens. Unfortunately, Catwoman makes a mistake when she visits venerable citizen Bruce Wayne and takes Bruce's prized family heirloom. She thinks she made a clean escape . . . but she doesn't know who she toyed with!</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p>What's the prized family heirloom you ask? The Pearl necklace of course! Here's a reminder from the previous post. Check it out and tell us what you think!</p>

<p>The Warner Bros. marketing machine continues to spit out new promo banners for <strong>Christoper Nolan</strong>'s highly anticipated film&nbsp;<strong><em>The Dark Knigt Rises</em></strong>! I'm sure you all don't mind seeing more stuff from what's going to be the epic final Batman film. The banners feature <strong>Christian Bale</strong> as Batman and <strong>Anne Hathaway </strong>as Catwoman. The movie hits theaters on July 20th. Do you think it's going to be better than the last one?</p>

<p>Here is a cool <strong><em>Moonrise Kingdom</em></strong> and <strong><em>Men In Black 3</em></strong> mashup trailer from <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/movieclipsTRAILERS" target="_blank">MovieClips</a>.</p>
<p>Here is a description of the video:</p>
<p><em>We started to wonder what Men In Black 3 would have been like if directed by Wes Anderson.. and thus Moonrise In Black was born. It's a fun fan trailer that fuses the MIB3 characters we love with Wes Anderson's unique&nbsp;directing&nbsp;style.</em></p>
<p>Did you watch<em> Men In Black 3 </em>or<em> Moonrise Kingom </em>in theaters?</p>

<p><strong><em>Back to the Future, Ghostbusters </em></strong>and <strong><em>Gremlins</em></strong> are three of my favorite films from the 80's. Artist&nbsp;<strong><a href="http://www.mr-fox.com/" target="_blank">Andy Fox</a>&nbsp;</strong>seems to like them to because he was inspired to do these three pieces of art.

<p>Nothing better than some <strong><em>Taxi Driver</em></strong> poster art to start your day off. This is one of my favorite <strong>Martin Scorcese</strong> movies, but that could be partly to do with the fact it was released the year I was born.

<p>Here is a must watch video of <strong>Billy West, Tara Strong, Maurice LaMarche, John DiMaggio, Kevin Conroy, Jess Harnell,</strong> and <strong>Rob Paulsen</strong> reading the&nbsp;<em><strong>Star Wars</strong></em>&nbsp;Trilogy live at the Emerald City Comic Con. The cool thing is that they are using their own character voices - Pinky the Stormtrooper, Shatner C-3PO and R2-D2 Walken!&nbsp;This takes an hour to watch, but it is well worth it.</p>
<p>What do you think? Do you like the new voices?</p>

<p>Here is the first trailer for Leo Carax' Holy Motors, which stars <strong>Denis Lavant, Eva Mendes</strong><span>&nbsp;and singer&nbsp;</span><strong>Kylie Minogue. </strong>The film follows the mysterious Monsieur Oscar during a 24 hours in the day as he travels between different lives ranging from a murderer to a corporate executive to a monstrous creature. The film premiered at Cannes this past week and has been getting positive reviews.</p>
<p>Here's the full synopsis from the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.festival-cannes.fr/en/archives/ficheFilm/id/11257858/year/2012.html"><strong>Cannes&nbsp;</strong>website</a>:</p>
<p><em>From dawn to dusk, a few hours in the life of Monsieur Oscar, a shadowy character who journeys from one life to the next. He is, in turn, captain of industry, assassin, beggar, monster, family man... He seems to be playing roles, plunging headlong into each part - but where are the cameras? Monsieur Oscar is alone, accompanied only by C&eacute;line, the slender blonde woman behind the wheel of the vast engine that transports him through and around Paris. He&rsquo;s like a conscientious assassin moving from hit to hit. In pursuit of the beautiful gesture, the mysterious driving force, the women and the ghosts of past lives. But where is his true home, his family, his rest?</em></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">This looks like an interesting movie, and definitely has an ecclectic cast. I am not sure this is my type of movie. Do you think this is a movie you would like to see?</p>

<p>Prepare yourselves, Bat-fans:&nbsp;<a href="http://ph.omg.yahoo.com/news/christian-bale-gushes-batman-movie-003000930.html" target="_blank">Yahoo!</a> has a brand new interview with <strong>Christian Bale</strong> in which the actor gives some new insights into playing Batman in&nbsp;<em><strong>The Dark Knight Rises</strong></em>.</p>
<p>As usual with these sorts of interview pieces I recommend that you go read the original article, but I'll pull out some interesting snippets from the conversation. <a href="http://geektyrant.com/news/2012/5/25/check-this-out-supercut-of-only-the-joker-in-the-dark-knight.html" target="_blank">Here...we...go</a>.</p>
<p>On being in the summer's most anticipated movie:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><span>Well, I feel that as actors, we&rsquo;ve done our work. The pressure is on Chris Nolan. But I have to say, I always approach every movie as if no one is ever going to see it, (laughs). It&rsquo;s better because you don&rsquo;t get self-conscious about it, and think about things like, &lsquo;What are people going to think?&rsquo; I usually just go, &lsquo;I don&rsquo;t think anyone is going to see it, so do what you think is right and what you think is right for other people.&rsquo;</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p>On what he expects the legacy of this Batman series to be:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><span>For me, time will tell with that. And for myself as well, I feel like you sit back and digest it. You watch it with new eyes for the first time, you watch it a few times and then you get that answer in a few years time. For myself, when you are inside a project, you cannot see the wood for the trees.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span>On whether or not Batman introduces any new Bat-gadgets this time out:</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><span><span>Of course he does. He always has to intro something. And truly, some of the most phenomenal things. You can&rsquo;t really get away without having Batman not have a new gadget.</span></span></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Bale also speaks about working with Chris Nolan again, the physical undertaking of making the movie, donning the famous Batman suit, and he also praises Tom Hardy's performance as Bane.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Here's some starter screens for Nintendo games that never existed. But looking at these titles, don't you wish they did?! Too bad most of these are too violent (or involve too many drunk rednecks) to have been made for the NES console. But we can dream can't we?

<p><strong>Wes Anderson</strong> and <strong>Noah Baumbach</strong> are producing a new quirky indie comedy that will star <strong>Owen Wilson</strong>, <strong>Olivia Wilde</strong>, and <strong>Brie Larson</strong> who most recently had a role in <em>21 Jump Street</em>. The movie is called <strong><em>Squirrels to the Nuts</em></strong>, and it's being directed by<strong> Peter Bogdanovich</strong>.&nbsp;<strong>Jason Schwartzman</strong>&nbsp;is also in talks to join the project, but as of right now he's not officially attached.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The script for the film was written by Bogdanovich, and it follows a "hooker-turned-Broadway-thesp (Larson) and the recurring intersection of those two facets of her life.&nbsp;Wilson will play a Broadway director who pays for the young protag's services despite being married to the star of the play. He later gives Larson's character money to quit escorting and follow her dreams.&nbsp;Wilde will play a therapist whose own mother is in rehab for alcoholism."</p>
<p>There's a great and talented team behind the development of this movie, and I think it will end up being a solid comedy. What do you think about everyone involved with the film, and the story they plan on telling?</p><p>Source: Variety (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118054631)</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://geektyrant.com/news/rss-comments-entry-16446789.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Game of Thrones Street Art - (P)IMP</title><category>Art</category><category>Game of Thrones</category><category>Humor</category><category>Street Art</category><dc:creator>Venkman</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 26 May 2012 18:00:27 +0000</pubDate><link>http://geektyrant.com/news/2012/5/26/game-of-thrones-street-art-pimp.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">465215:5275999:16446676</guid><description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://geektyrant.com/storage/0999-post-images/gamepimp5252012.jpeg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1337982868130" alt="" /></span></span></p>

<p>Two new super secret sci-fi film projects are in development over at Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros. There isn't much information on the movies, but I'll give you all the information I've got.</p>
<p>The movie being developed at Warner Bros. is called <strong><em>The Wind</em></strong>. It's being directed by commercials director&nbsp;<strong>Nic Mathieu</strong>, and this will be his first feature film. <em>Men in Black 3 </em>and<em> <em>Mission: Impossible&nbsp;</em></em>writer <strong>David Koepp</strong> is writing the script, and the<strong>&nbsp;</strong>story is set in a space colony. Mathieu has done some pretty impressive commercial work, so I'm sure he's going to create something very cool.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The second movie being developed at Paramount is coming from <strong>J.J. Abrams</strong>. This is an Untitled film project, and it will be a low budget movie <span>&ldquo;with sci-fi elements.&rdquo; That's all we know! You know how secretive the director is. But if you're a fan of Abrams like I am then you know it's most likely going to turn out to be awesome.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p>If you don't love Bill Murray, I don't think we can be friends. Over the past few years, he's been known to do awesomely random things like show up at people's house parties unannounced, stop by and sing karaoke with people he's never met before, and drunk driving in Sweden behind the wheel of a golf cart that didn't belong to him. (No one was hurt, which is why that one's funny.)</p>
<p><a href="http://badassdigest.com/2012/05/25/a-fan-asked-bill-murray-for-an-autograph.-instead-bill-gave-him-this/" target="_blank">Badass Digest</a> points us to Murray's newest piece of awesomeness, a video of him walking in slow motion down a hallway with a group of guys. This may not seem that great on the face of it, but when you find out that these guys were working on a commercial with Murray, asked for an autograph, and he gave them this instead...well, that pretty much says it all.</p>

I'm pretty sure a teddy bear can't do what I think he's doing, and what the poster tag is implying. But a teddy bear can't usually walk or talk (exactly like Peter Griffin). Either way, this movie looks like it's gonna be hilarious.

<p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong><em>A man wrestles with the lingering consequences of a childhood wish in this live-action comedy from Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane. As a young boy, John Bennett wanted nothing more than for his beloved teddy bear Ted (voice of MacFarlane) to come to life. Incredibly, that wish was granted. But now that John (Mark Wahlberg) is all grown up, his boyhood dream has become a nightmare nuisance. Mila Kunis, Joel McHale, and Giovanni Ribisi co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi</em></p><p>Source: ImpAwards (http://www.impawards.com/2012/ted_ver5.html)</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://geektyrant.com/news/rss-comments-entry-16445444.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>THREEQUEL - Actors in Their Film Debut Supercut</title><category>Movie</category><category>Supercut</category><category>Videos</category><dc:creator>abefroman</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 26 May 2012 00:14:08 +0000</pubDate><link>http://geektyrant.com/news/2012/5/25/threequel-actors-in-their-film-debut-supercut.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">465215:5275999:16445124</guid><description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://geektyrant.com/storage/0999-post-images/Film-Debut-Supercut.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1337973027079" alt="" /></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Here's the third supercut from Flavorwire that showcases actors in their film debuts. Some are just small bit parts, some feature the actors baby faced, and some are just flat out embarrassing! The best though are the opening and almost closing portions of the supercut, featuring Tom Cruise in some crazy cut off shorts and an insanely high voice; and Cameron Diaz back when she was sssssssmokin' hot in <em>The Mask</em>. She was unreal in that movie... what happened???</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">If you missed the first two supercuts I've embedded those below as well. What's your favorite film that starred an actor in their film debut?</p>

<p>Here's a few more photos of the&nbsp;<strong><em>The Amazing Spider-Man</em></strong> from the film and the set. Most of these come from the most recent issue of Entertainment Weekly. One of the photos at the bottom of the post includes some cool test shots of Spider-Man's point of view, which as you've seen in the trailer, will be used in the movie. Hopefully it's not overused.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The film stars <strong>Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Denis Leary, Rhys Ifans, Martin Sheen</strong>, and <strong>Sally Field</strong>. The movie hits theaters on July 3rd, 2012.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Here's the Synopsis:</strong></p>
<p><span>Opening in 3D, 2D and IMAX 3D theaters on July 3,&nbsp;</span><strong>The Amazing Spider-Man</strong><span>&nbsp;is the story of Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen) and Aunt May (Sally Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents' disappearance &ndash; leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans), his father's former partner.

<p>"And here...we...go."&nbsp;<a href="http://blastr.com/2012/05/see-the-joker-and-only-th.php?utm_source=twitterfeed&amp;utm_medium=twitter" target="_blank">Blastr</a> points us to possibly the most captivating video you'll watch all day, a supercut of <strong>Heath Ledger's</strong> performance as <strong>The Joker</strong> in Chris Nolan's <em><strong>The Dark Knight</strong></em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object width="640" height="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wX1pua2CZg0?version=3&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wX1pua2CZg0?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="480" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>I'm not telling you anything you don't already know when I reiterate that this is truly an astonishing performance, and Ledger's Oscar for Best Supporting Actor was absolutely deserved (though, sadly, awarded postumously). He almost singlehandedly gave comic book movies the complexity that had been missing from a lot of the earlier efforts, which is partly due to the amazing character of the Joker himself and partly due to the way Ledger threw himself into the role.</p>
<p>I didn't even watch this whole video because I plan to rewatch <em>The Dark Knight</em> before <em>The Dark Knight Rises</em> comes to theaters, but scrubbing through it I'm reminded of just how wrong <a href="http://geektyrant.com/news/2012/5/22/the-internets-reaction-to-heath-ledger-being-cast-as-the-jok.html" target="_blank">people like this</a> were when the casting news initially came out.</p>

<p><strong>Sylvester Stallone</strong> and <strong>Arnold Schwarzenegger</strong> are teaming up once again to shoot another awesome film together called<strong><em> The Tomb</em></strong>. They recently sat down with Entertainment Tonight to discuss the movie on the set of the film, and it gives us our first look at the actors in their roles, and they both look like badasses.&nbsp;It's being directed by <strong>Mikael H&aring;fstr&ouml;md</strong>, and here's a rundown of the story,</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Ray Breslin (Stallone) who is the world&rsquo;s foremost authority on structural security.&nbsp;He&rsquo;s analyzed every high security prison and has gained a vast array of survival skills.&nbsp;But all Ray&rsquo;s ingenuity and knowledge are about to be put to work in the most challenging test he&rsquo;s ever faced: escaping from the master prison of his own design.</p>
<p>Schwarzenegger, in the role of Church,&nbsp;plays a complex inmate with multiple shades of grey. He&rsquo;s the guy who fights to keep the prisoners from losing their humanity in their darkest hour as they struggle together to stay alive.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This sounds like it going to be an awesome movie, and I'm excited about seeing this story unfold. In the interview Stallone explains,</p>
<blockquote>
<p><span><span>We're just a couple of old war horses talking about the oddest subjects on the planet. I think in the beginning we were competitive -- there's no question about it. A little alpha territorial. And then we realized it was good for our careers [to work together].</span></span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span><span>Schwarzenegger adds,</span></span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><span><span><span>The funny thing is we have tried, I think, our entire careers to always work together. We have talked about it for three decades and it never happened. I think we tried maybe too hard. &hellip; But now after the governorship, somehow this just fell into place.</span></span></span></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Sly goes on to talk about this action film genre and how it's fading away,</p>
<blockquote>
<p><span><span><span><span>This genre unfortunately is becoming&hellip; let's just say it's fading away. You have the superheroes today which are possessed with all extraordinary powers; they can blink and a fireball comes out of there. It's great. And then you have a bunch of us which is just your basic male-pattern badness. &hellip; Kind of like hands-on action.</span></span></span></span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span><span><span><span>As much as I love the superhero movie, I also love the hardcore badass action films as well. I hope these kinds of action movie don't die! That would be a shame. Check out the video interview in which they talk about it in more detail.&nbsp;</span></span></span></span></p>

<p>Remember that Nazi moon invasion film<em> Iron Sky</em> that is being released? Well the director of that film,&nbsp;<strong>Timo Vuorensola</strong>,&nbsp;must be fascinated with Nazi's because he's making another film called <strong><em>I Killed Adolf Hitler</em></strong>, a time traveling comedy,&nbsp;which is based on&nbsp;the Eisner Award winning graphic novel by Jason. <span>The story definitely sounds entertaining! It follows the adventures of a hitman who encounters complications after traveling back in time to 1938 to assassinate Hitler.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><strong>Here's the synopsis for the comic:</strong></p>
<p><em>In this full-color graphic novel, Jason posits a strange, violent world in which contract killers can be hired to rub out pests, be they dysfunctional relatives, abusive co-workers, loud neighbors, or just annoyances in general -- and as you might imagine, their services are in heavy demand. One such killer is given the unique job of traveling back in time to kill Adolf Hitler in 1939... but things go spectacularly wrong. Hitler overpowers the would-be assassin and sends himself to the present, leaving the killer stranded in the past. The killer eventually finds his way back to the present by simply waiting the decades out as he ages, and teams up with his now much-younger girlfriend to track down the missing fascist dictator...</em></p>
<p>Production will start on the film in 2013. A few months ago the film was set up over at <span>Studio Eight who optioned the rights, and it was reported that they hired&nbsp;<span>screenwriter&nbsp;</span><strong>D.C. Walker</strong><span>&nbsp;of Up Country Productions to adapt the film.&nbsp;</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Have you read the comic, and do you think it will make for a fun movie?</span></span></p><p>Source: Twitch Film (http://twitchfilm.com/news/2012/05/iron-sky-directors-next-is-i-killed-adolf-hitler.php)</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://geektyrant.com/news/rss-comments-entry-16444837.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Pixar Studios Stories Video - Clean Start</title><category>Clean Start</category><category>Humor</category><category>Pixar</category><category>Pixar Studio Stories</category><category>Videos</category><dc:creator>Venkman</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 25 May 2012 21:00:17 +0000</pubDate><link>http://geektyrant.com/news/2012/5/25/pixar-studios-stories-video-clean-start.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">465215:5275999:16444568</guid><description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://geektyrant.com/storage/0999-post-images/cleanstart5252012.png?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1337970297801" alt="" /></span></span></p>
<p>I really enjoy watching these animated Pixar Studios Stories. I've been slowly going through them and watched one earlier this week that was pretty entertaining. It's called "Clean Start," and it tells the story of a time when the Pixar staff shaved their heads and then made a challenge on how long they could go without shaving their beards or cutting their hair. It's pretty funny stuff so enjoy!</p>
