‘Watchmen’ darker than ‘The Dark Knight’

Here’s a pretty little snippet from some sort of Watchmen press thing.

You know, the stuff the studios end up cramming as extra features on the DVD for the collector’s edition.

Which is of course the stuff nobody but die-hard fans watch.

And we only watch it to distract from our disappointment because the ~~comic~~ graphic novel didn’t live up to our expectations.

I love the Watchmen ~~comic~~ graphic novel but am already utterly disappointed. No octopus monster. How dare they? Meh.

The cast of new movie ‘Watchmen’ say their comic-book based fantasy flick goes even darker than ‘The Dark Knight.’

Friday Classic: Mary Poppins Recut

Last week I totally forgot about the Friday Classic. I was busy, you know. With ~~the booze~~ work.

But seeing that it is Friday yet again, and because I don’t want to post too many Mark “Musical Genius” Gormley videos, I post old crap from many, many years ago.

It’s probably so old that you’ll have conveniently forgotten that you have seen this back in 2006. You might even think that it’s pretty awesome. And then you’ll tell all your friends about it, and about this great site where you found it and … oh well, it’s never gonna happen.

This Friday Classic is a recut trailer for Mary Poppins, that lovely old nanny from the ancient times when Disney still made movies with real people in it.

In this trailer Mary Poppins is not the child loving fun nanny we’ve come to know. But you know that, because this clip is ancient.

In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun, and – SNAP – the job’s a game!

Black Dynamite Trailer

Good news for all the blaxploitation fans out there pimping it like it’s the 70s: Black Dynamite, sort of a parody on Shaft or something like that is coming to the big screen. And the trailer is looking good.

I’m not a big fan of blaxploitation myself, mainly because I don’t really watch movies from the olden days (pre 80s) except for maybe Star Wars, Jaws and some others. I did get a kick out of I’m Gonna Git You Sucka, a blacksploitation parody from thelate 80s directed by one of the Wayans brothers who also starred in the movie. I watched it because I like the song by Boogie Down Productions. But do you care about that? No, of course not! What happened 20 years ago in my life doesn’t even interest me.

This is the red band trailer and people say that means there’s swearing and nudity and all sorts of stuff that might label it as NSFW. So if you are at work, relaxing with some hard liquor, just wait until the boss goes home and then watch it. It will look like you’re working overtime instead of looking for porn on your colleagues computer. You know the drill.

He’s supercool and he knows kung fu:
