1997's Justice League of America

Here are the first ten minutes of 1997's terrible pilot of Justice League of America.

The Single Best YouTube Video Ever?

If this isn't the single best YouTube video ever, I'm not sure what is. I present to you, Play Helen Hunt off, Keyboard Cat... and Then Join Daryl Hall and John Oates.*



*[TRIVIA TIME!! It is a well documented fact that Hall & Oates is the muzak you hear when sitting in the waiting room just outside of the lowest level of Hell]

Cowboys and Aliens

A film adaptation of the one-shot comic "Cowboys & Aliens" is set to be released July, 2011. Think the title sounds a little silly? You might change your mind after checking out the talent involved in this movie's making:

Director: PCU's Gutter (aka Jon Favreau, director of Iron Man)
Executive Producers: Steven Spielberg and Ron Howard
Starring: James Bond (aka Daniel Craig), Hans Solo (aka Harrison Ford; and no, that is not a typo - that's my Deutschified version), the ridiculously hot Olivia Wilde, and Sam Rockwell

That is a metric shit-ton of talent right there. Check out the trailer:

Green Lantern Trailer



In brightest day, in blackest night,
No evil shall escape my sight
Let those who worship evil's might,
Beware my power... Green Lantern's light!

Speedflying

Awesome.
Just.
Awesome.

The Warrior's Way Trailer



Holy crap! And I thought the trailer for Sucker Punch was hard-on inducing (believe me, Emily Browning as Baby Doll fighting a giant Samurai robot armed with a gatling cannon under the direction of Zack Snyder... well... it's still so very boneriffic). But... ninjas versus cowboys?!

What?!

That's insane.

So insane it JUST. MIGHT. WORK.

Release date is set for December 3, 2010. Directed by Sngmoo Lee.

I wish my name was as awesome as Sngmoo. Four consonants in a row? Who does that? Someone who is awesome, that's who.

JourneyQuest!

Dead Gentlemen Productions, the folks that brought us the extremely entertaining flick "The Gamers" and its sequel "The Gamers 2: Dorkness Rising," have been working on an episodic production called JourneyQuest. Well worth the look if you're even remotely interested in Dungeons and Dragons.

Hardcore Dancing in Assassin's Creed 2

(poison tipped blade) + (group of innocent people) = hardcore dancing.

You can get a larger group of people to get in the way by tossing money on the ground while the "dancing" is going on.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Commercial

There's been some controversy over the following ad for the new Call of Duty: Black Ops game. See for yourself:



Years ago, Microsoft decided not to air a similarly themed ad that I thought was simply brilliant.



What do you think?

Raytheon XOS 2 Exoskeleton

This is like the power loader from the movie Aliens come to life... only better! It looks easier to use and it's much smaller (personally I think the guy using it needs to wear a helmet with a rotating yellow light on top). Raytheon has displayed an earlier version of this exoskeleton before, but this video was just released this past summer. Check it out:



He even loads some ordinance similar to the Aliens movie here. And did you catch the name of the test engineer? Rex Jameson? If that's not a superhero alter ego, I don't know what is. That name sounds so manly I just grew a mustache saying it out loud.

Also notice here that the exoskeleton comes to life of its own will. This is obviously the first step toward the Robot Apocalypse, mark my words. In five years we will be obeying SkyNet which will have been constructed by these self aware exoskeletons. Thanks, Raytheon!

I Love Pretzels!

I think I just fell in love.

Best Line Rider I've Ever Seen

There are dozens of really clever Line Rider boards people have made. Just go to YouTube and you'll see all the great art people have adapted to Line Rider.

None of them can top this, though. Seriously. And don't shortchange yourself: watch the entire thing. Three years and sixteen people went into the development of this masterpiece. And the music is just absolutely perfect.

Watch and be amazed.

Awesome Football Play

I love a good trick play.  These middle schoolers win the Kickass Award for Trickery and Awesomeness.
