You talkin’ to me Bats? You talkin’ to me?

Hey race fans – check out this Batman/Joker animation by R.A. Grimes . . .

Imagine a world where Al Pacino is Batman and Robert DeNiro is the Clown Prince of Crime.

Also pretend the dialog is not from HEAT.

This is way cool and the guy is working hard on the animation . . . Look him up on You Tube – Westsidemedia.


No more Hulk Bashing.

Ok. I surrender. I can’t wait.

I will make not ONE more sarcastic joke about how I THINK the HULK will be until I see it.

And after this commercial – I cannot WAIT to see it.


Silent Bob strikes hack.

I am a large fan of Kevin Smith.

No seriously, – I’m like 250 pounds and at least 175 lbs of it all is love for the bearded brother from Red Bank.

He is a God to geeks everywhere and God bless him he’s living the dream – sure he doesn’t get to make  fun of Harrison Ford movies  through  the use of  goofy toys and sophisticated editing equipment the way I do but he finds a way to get up everyday so good for him.

I just watched the Internet trailer for Zack and Miri make a Porno and sadly, I think the love fest is over.

I’m not putting the trailer here directly because I just don’t like it.   It’s not very funny. It’s kind of disgusting.

Hey ask around – I am no prude, but this film . . . from this trailer . . . I just don’t get it.

Look – Clerks was ok – it drags a bit but the VOICE in it was totally original for it’s time. Mallrats – Jason Lee is possibly one of the funniest people alive – and I grew up in the environment that inspired Mallrats so I loved it. Chasing Amy is a masterpiece of broken hearted realism – right down to it’s anti hollywood ending. Dogma is not perfect, but it is damn good to the last drip with God doing cartwheels on the church lawn. Smart AND funny.  Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is one big IN joke, but I’m in on it, so it’s cool for me . . . Jersey Girl is an excellent movie cursed with bad timing.  It has a very real voice and Ben Affleck is excellent in it as is George Carlin and Liv Tyler. Clerks Two was a terrible reaction to Jersey Girl not performing at the box office.  The Clerks Cartoon (Which I loved) seemed more like the characters from the original movie then this one.  Just dick and fart jokes from start to finish and uncomfortable comedy for it’s own sake.  I fear that Zack and Miri is to be more of the same times 8.  Maybe not – but I doubt it.

Before all the zombie hordes of Kevin lovers smash me for having the audacity to question the quality of his new movie sight unseen I will say only this:

Dick and Fart jokes aren’t funny forever.

Sooner or later you have to take a breath look in the mirror and grow.

Jersey Girl was a step in that direction.  I’m not feeling it so much anymore.  Artists grow and change,  churning out product and collecting a pay check from the core kool aid crowd has it’s place – but I really thought Kevin was going to be more than this.

I’m kinda disappointed not that I have ANY right to be.   Obviously I don’t KNOW this guy. But for a while it felt like I did.

I totally admit on this topic that I am just another opinionated @$$hole . . .

Whatever – Spiderman 3 still sucked.
