Just A Spanish Action Flick

TV Maxwell, the young mastermind behind "The Dark Knight Kills Christmas" AKA That video I showed all my friends that made them pee their pants a little, returns with his newest YouTube epic plainly titled "Spanish Action Flick." As we revealed earlier, most any film is made more awesome through use of the Spanish, Italian or Japanese languages, but do those languages have to be spoken by their native peoples or can anyone give it a go? Overdubbing will ALWAYS be the most excellent way to pump up the hilarity of any movie, but what if two enterprising young Americans just feel like yelling at each other in Spanish? Jump into the video and we'll find out...

Iron Man 2 Italian TV Spot

Ah yes, it is turning out to be Iron Man day here, isn't it? Coming Soon just posted the Italian commercial running for Iron Man 2. So you ask yourself, what is better than Iron Man on the big screen?! ITALIAN IRON MAN ON THE BIG SCREEN!!! I'm sure this would work in Spanish too. Es Mui Macho.



With a lineup including War Machine, Nick Fury, Black Widow and Iron Man himself on the side of good and Whiplash and the Military Drones (one for each branch of the US military service as shown HERE) on team evil, there's no doubt this movie will short circuit many a nerdy mind...but one question still remains. Have we seen all the bad guys yet? Stay tuned!!

Devastator Back for Transformers 3?




THE ROBO-BALLS ARE BACK!! Sources near a famous theme park where they are filming parts of Transformers 3 got a glimpse of what could only be the movie version of Devastator. They also pointed out that it seems part of the new story will involve more overseas action, this time with foreign armed forces getting involved as they watched men in Iranian Soldier costumes scramble about the set. With heavy dramatic actors John Malkovich and Frances McDormand now in the cast, it will be very interesting to see what turns the new plot will take. Of course, there's also Ken Jeong of The Hangover added to the cast, so not to worry, there will undoubtedly be plenty of wacky hijinks as well. What will happen between now and the July 1, 2011 release date is still anyone's guess.

Snape Hunting




Professor Snape: Year 6 NEW from Gentle Giant this November! The Half-blood wizard, Professor Severus Snape, a former Death Eater, was not only a Potions master, he also became the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, as well as the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Snape played an important role in the war against Voldermort, though he did so covertly and at great personal risk. Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has singled out Snape as one of her favorite characters to write, and is definitely a fan favorite as well. This expertly crafted 1:6 scale mini bust features a finely detailed costume and wand. hand painted and standing roughly 6” tall, this Harry Potter collectible comes individually numbered with a matching certificate of authenticity.

No Glove..No Love



We've seen Freddy Krueger's look for the NEW Nightmare on Elm Street reboot. We've even seen his weapon of choice before taking a soothing flame bath. Now, NECA gives us a good look at the iconic blades that will be slicing their way through many a nubile teen next month via their newest prop replica. Additional pics below are of NECA's Nightmare on Elm Street Action Figure line, shot at US Toy Fair 2010. The NEW A Nightmare on Elm Street hits theaters April 30th, 2010.

Watchmen Join the HeroClix Battles




NECA's ressurrected Wizkids HeroClix line gets a surge of new supers from the Watchmen universe! This collector's boxed set comes with 25 miniature figures from the Watchmen movie in awesome display-quality packaging. You'll see in this retailer solicit that they've also got a 14 inch tall Colossal Dr. Manhattan figure on the way (sold seperately from the collector set.) HeroClixers, rejoice! Now you can put giant, naked Dr. Manhattan up against your old Marvel HeroClix Galactus and round out the battle with the HorrorClix Cthulhu!! THE SMACK DOWN OF THE CENTURY!! This epic battle does, of course, hinge on Manhattan being naked though. Otherwise, why bother?

NEW Clips from Kick-Ass

We are slooooowly moving toward April 16th, and who knows how many clips will be released in that time...so pace yourselves!

“How come nobody’s ever tried to be a superhero?” When Dave Lizewski – ordinary New York teenager and rabid comic-book geek dons a green-and-yellow internet-bought wetsuit to become the no-nonsense vigilante, Kick-Ass, he soon finds an answer to his own question: because it hurts. But, overcoming all the odds, the eager yet inexperienced Dave quickly becomes a phenomenon, capturing the imagination of the public. However, he’s not the only superhero out there – the fearless and highly-trained father-daughter crime-fighting duo, Big Daddy and Hit-Girl have been slowly but surely taking down the criminal empire of local Mafioso, Frank D’Amico. And, as Kick-Ass gets drawn into their no-holds-barred world of bullets and bloodletting with Frank’s son, Chris, now reborn as Kick-Ass’s arch-nemesis, Red Mist - the stage is set for a final showdown between the forces of good and evil - in which the DIY hero will have to live up to his name. Or die trying…

Directed by Matthew Vaughn, from a screenplay by Jane Goldman & Matthew Vaughn, and based on the comic written by Mark Millar and John S. Romita Jr. Lionsgate and MARV present a MARV Films / Plan B production.

You heard them. THRILLRIDE!!! Here's the trailer for those who haven't seen it. I especially like the bad guy in the beginning. AWESOME ACTING BUDDY!!

Things I Saw On TV Past 10pm

  • Cartoons saying Asshole. I haven't heard them drop F Bombs yet.
  • Enough Girls Gone Wild commercials to make it feel like you went on a real date.
  • A commercial for Liftits, which seems like an unfortunate mistake in product naming until you realize they also created Concealits and Tapeits. All products are boob related, with Liftits being a tape that goes around the nipple and tacks central boob to upper boob for maximum "perkification". They actually wrote Perkification on a website, but I copyrighted it...so its mine now. I like that in the before and after pics, they look like they were listening to a story you told and now..they don't believe you.
  • A cowboy on Comedy Central sang a song that made women and jiggly men show their boobs...and they actually showed the boobs. There's a boob theme happening here. I may have been relocated to Europe..or my TV was.
  • A reality game show that took a pack of geeks, made them shave their heads, put on war skirts and paint their faces and then tested them on their knowledge of the God of War video game series. Soon after, just like spiteful Gods, they forced the dorkle (which is the term for a pack of geeks) to climb a wall and run. Very, very mean. The show was called Last Titan Standing. It should have been called "guy who knows a lot about God of War and ate the least peanut MnM's." I PROMISE you the second this is embedable, we'll have it here.
