QUANTUM OF SOLACE trailer; Question: Can a trailer capture all the love, angst, and badassery of the final film? This trailer answers yes...
...then it kicks your ass for asking such a stupid question! Here it is, the trailer for Bond #22, QUANTUM OF SOLACE. If you watched the first one and had any form of a working heart, then you most likely had adrenaline flowing through you for most of the film. I believe this film hopes to do the same only this time, sending you into cardiac arrest, in a good way (this film will not send you into cardiac arrest) (it might, I'm not sure, it would depend on pre-existing conditions or whether you have a medical emergency while watching the film). QUANTUM picks up right where CASINO ROYALE left off, with Bond catching Mr. White and finding out who it is he works for. If you saw THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY, which I highly recommend for it was one of the best I've seen, then you know who plays the villain in this film, Mathieu Amalric. Well, just watch the trailer and we'll talk about it later. Enjoy.
Chainsaw Maid; the zombie claymation short to rule all zombie claymation shorts
I find some great things online to post on the site but stop short thinking no one except me would be interested in them. Thus wass the case here. I remember seeing this YouTube short in the beginning of the year and thought it was the neatest claymation I'd seen in a while. I used to be a big fan of Knox's Korner and all other well crafted claymation shorts I could find. Takena is the creator of the short you are about to watch, Chainsaw Maid. Really good quality stuff. The pitch is simple. Father and daughter are at home being attended to by their maid when a bloodied woman comes to warn them about something. Check out Takena's YouTube page HERE. And also check out the above mentioned site, Knox's Korner. They've both got some great and funny stuff. Enjoy.
Thanks to Quiet Earth for bringing Chainsaw Maid back into the spotlight.

Christian Bale is Bruce Wayne is freaking awesome is Batman
What's fun to notice in this interview with Christian Bale is him moving in and out of his Welsh and American accent. During press day in Beverly Hills, Chuck the Movie Guy got a few minutes to sit down with Mr. Bale, the definitive Bruce Wayne for the new generation, and ask some hard hitting questions. I love interviews.
But after your finished with this one below, head over to IESB.net to see exclusive interviews with most of the cast of THE DARK KNIGHT including Bale, Freeman, Caine, Eckhart, Gyllenhaal, Nestor Carbonell, Anthony Michael Hall, and the man behind it all Mr. Christopher Nolan. Again, click HERE to see all of those.

Larry David asks you to help a bald brother out
Funny or Die has been paving the way with strange viral PSA ads and such and today Larry David asks you to help fight the big fight against cancer. But it's Larry David, so of course things aren't as plain as cream cheese and Texas toast.
THE DARK KNIGHT international trailer; three weeks until the Joker upsets the established order
I spent the first half of this month blogging my little heart out but I've been busy lately so if you're wondering why there haven't been many updates (and I know you've all been wondering), that's why. Next topic up for presentation is the international trailer for THE DARK KNIGHT which is just now under three weeks from release. Have you gotten your midnight tickets for IMAX? No? You need to soon if you want to watch it on midnight because they are selling like sun tan lotion on Mercury. So far, MovieTickets.com and Fandango.com are reporting that ticket sales for the midnight showings and early morning showings for July 18th are eight times that of the sales for SPIDERMAN 3. Well to add to prior anticipation and excitement is the new trailer which doesn't quite pack the punch the earlier trailers did, but does introduce a few new scenes and beautiful lines delivered masterfully from Mr. Ledger. Also, /Film has posted the latest five TV Spots for TDK and you can find those right HERE. Enjoy.

EAGLE EYE trailer: Like SAW, but with higher stakes. Wait, didn't SAW already have high stakes?
Okay now, watch it again and about 1:30 seconds into the trailer when they are running through the fields, tell me it doesn't remind you of SE7EN. "WHAT'S IN THE BOX ?!!"
So there's the trailer. Nice huh? I'm sorry, I really like Shia LeBeouf but I'm ready for him to show some range. He played a rebellious kid under house arrest. He played a rebellious kid housing giant transforming robots.He played a rebellious kid that goes spelunking alongside Indiana Jones. And now, well, he's the same only he plays a pre-adult. Still, looks intriguing. The film opens wide September 26th, the same day as Spike Lee's MIRACLE AT ST. ANNA.
Gotham Tonight Profile: Bruce Wayne
The Gotham Cable News Network is running a series of profiles on the men and women who define the city of Gotham. Today, the GCN brings us a profile on the CEO of Wayne Enterprises, Bruce Wayne. Wayne's parents were shot and killed outside of Gotham's famous opera house when Bruce was just a young boy. Since then, much has changed in Bruce Wayne's life.
Find out more in the video below but I would suggest watching the clip straight from The Gotham Cable News Network. Enjoy. Tune in again in two week when Gotham Tonight presents a profile on Gotham Police Lieutenant, Jim Gordon.

Eliza Skinner: Internet/NYC funny girl... P.S. I want feel her up
So, I'm scanning Funny Or Die as I do from time to time and I came across Eliza Skinner. She only has 3 videos posted on Funny Or Die but that's no reason to get all in a huff, she has a large goody bag full of more enjoyable, laughable material on her blog site. Seriously, not only does she have entertaining material, but she's damn good at writing it, too. Whether she's talking about life-giving, vomit slugs (internal photographs of an ovary), or a list of what girl want (a list of what girls want), she's definitely a funny voice to hear out (not literally funny voice, it's just a metaphor for Eliza).
There are thousands of funny people out there and not enough of them receive the credit they deserve but I can only promote so much, the rest is up to you (you). Here is a video of Eliza's from Funny Or Die entitled, "Amy at the club." Hit the jump below to watch her others. Enjoy.
