Heroes Contest

Exclusive Comic created for the 2008 San Diego Comic Con by the late Michael Turner

 This is pretty cool . . .

 

This comic includes 4 stories that reveal more about the Heroes Universe. The stories focus on the back stories of Mohinder Suresh, Echo De Mille (the main character of the new Heroes webisode series), and Adam Monroe (Takezo Kensei).

Universal is teaming up with Sprint for the “Create Your Hero” contest.

Last Fall, fans of Heroes created two new heroes. But only one will star in a new online live action series. YOU CAN VOTE TO DECIDE WHICH ONE !

That is a lot of power for people like you. Use it wisely.

Check it out and Vote for your favorite.  You don’t want P-Diddy getting all “Vote or Die” in your face about this.

The first 10 people to email me their address @ calmixx@gmail.com will get a copy of the Comic Book sent to them in the mail. 

 I’ll even sign it.

Because I had nothing to do with it, but I’ll be  paying the postage and I will have read it.

So it will be like an endorsement.

 Sorta.

I would have had Michael Turner sign it, but he can’t.  And that sucks because he created Witchblade and Fathom but he died in June.

 So I’ll sign it FOR him.

The things I won’t do for you people.

Brave and Bold but not at all Dark.

"I'll take out the bad guys Aquaman - you go chat with a fish."

So ahh, the newest animation coming from DC is an adaption of the popular Batman comic team up series – The Brave and the Bold.

Bats will team with different heroes each episode in stories that take place outside of Gotham.

It will focus on the “fun” and “adventure” of the superhero genre.

In other words, it will be a marketing tool to sell all those toys that The Dark Knight couldn’t because it was not aimed at 6 year olds.

So the Bat pendulum swings all the way to Dark Knight and now apparently ALL THE WAY BACK TO ADAM WEST.

Sigh.

Check out some “footage” on Superherohype.com

FINALLY!

Go ahead and make fun of me.

I do not care.  I also enjoy Smallville and long walks in the park.

I am very happy that Warner Brothers is FINALLY releasing Birds of Prey on DVD on July 29th.

I should unload my bootlegs before they are obsolete . . .

It’s not that interesting . . . it’s HBO.

In the early 80s HBO had a logo “bumper” that they used to play before movies.
In the early 80s the company that designed it made a documentary on how it was created.

In the early 2000s, somebody put it on Youtube.

It is over 10 minutes long. 10 long minutes.
Wow. That sure was amazing how they did that HBO logo effect. Yep.

You know I once saw a documentary on how they perfected the T1000 effects for Terminator 2. Like how he was able to reflect the other actors like a mirror and shift shapes and walk through steel bars. Yeah THAT was interesting. I don’t think it was even a second over 6 minutes though.

Because we’ve all been getting F*d by Ben Affleck for a while now . . .

If you live under a rock then you probably have not seen Sarah Silverman’s video from the Jimmy Kimmel show – you know what ?

What the hell are you reading this for? Jimmy has made a video answer to her -

Watch it -

Be Kind, Rewind . . . OR just steal ideas from Amanda Bynes.

Wow. This seems kinda blatant.

But since we’re discussing the subject . . . doesn’t the whole idea of making a movie about what happens when all the videos in a rental store get erased seem kinda . . . dated.

When did YOU last rent a VIDEO?

The Blockbuster in my neighborhood has about 30 videos left all the rest is DVD or Blu Ray or HD Coasters.

Check out the evidence that JACK BLACK is a HACK.
Amanda Rocks. (ahem)

80th Annual Oscars to be held in Abu Ghraib?

Ok, come on now. 

All the posts can’t be “winners”.

Hopefully a better post will come later in the day.  Keep your hate mail – it’s just a JOKE.

New Batman Animation ! Old Batman interviews ! UPDATE !

UPDATE ! Boo Hiss. Warner Brothers has stomped on the video. That’s hurtful. Just for that I’m gonna wait an extra day to buy this thing. Well if you were lucky enough to see it early, you know how cool it was. If not, then just take my word for it. It was cool.

This is a sneak peak of the brand new Batman Gotham Dark Knight Straight to DVD release (I hope they release it on Blu ray !)

It is supposed to bridge the gap between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Sorta like Animatrix, but with less “Suck”.

Actually the Animatrix was cool. The Matrix Sequels that followed it Sucked. But enough about that.

The interview footage seems to be the same stuff from the Batman DVD Box Set extras, but all the animation is new and headed to us soon . . .

Seriously . . .

So after the initial movie is released in theatres on August 15th, there is going to be a regular TV show on Cartoon Network in this style  every week.

Not sure how I feel about the art style here – looks very “art school”. I really liked the style of the Clone Wars Cartoon they already produced, but it’s Star Wars so I’ll play along.

I sat through all 3 of the prequels several times already so what do I  really have left to lose at this point? 

Am I gonna have to buy A N O T H E R freakin’ Boba Fett action figure now?

How Did THIS happen?

So there is a new Star Wars Animated Movie completed?

And it’s going to be released in Europe first and then in theaters in the USA on August 15th (although once they release it in Europe it will be on the internets in about as long as it takes to finish the first screening . . . ) ?

And it actually looks kinda cool?

And I knew N O T H I N G about it until I accidently ran into the trailer for it on the officialStar Wars website. (Don’t judge me)

This is an outrage!

I am going to have to quit my job and leave my family if they are going to distract me from important news like this.

I need to re-evaluate everything now. How could I be so un-aware?

Sigh. Dark times my friends. Dark times.
