VIDEO GOLD: MASHUP OF STEEL

By
I love these video mash-ups. This week we are mashing up the new Zack Snyder Superman film, and the Superman the Animated Series by Timm and his team. This mashup pulls some great moments form the animated series and makes me wish that this new film had a shot of Superboy jumping across the moon in silhouette.








I used to watch the Superman animated series religuiously, and introduced to some of my favorite DC characters like Lobo, Bibbo, Parasite, Aquaman, and the Flash. I love Micheal Shannon's Zod voice and hope he gets lots of screen time. The mashup shows off how cool and effective the score in this trailer is.




Click on after the jump to see the new Man of Steel Trailer with me.





Snyder's Superman costume is heavily detailed and looks heavily textured in a way that reminds me of the Marc Webb Amazing Spiderman film. The look of the film based on the trailer feels very much like Star Trek due to the lighting flares early on in the trailer.


This is the amazing new Man of Steel trailer which has Superman punching to differentiate it from Singers Superman Returns. It's also filled with imagery Snyder has played with before people falling out of buildings, and capes flowing in the wind.


I look forward to Zack's song choices as that's always a highlight in all of his films. Snyder's excellent fight choreography and action chops have worked perfectly in his previous films. The performances he has goaded out of actors have sometimes not worked but the bits of  the work by Russel Crowe and Kevin Costner in voice over in the trailer is powerful. When I hear Kevin Costner telling Superboy that he is their son, my eyes well up.


I'm also looking very much to see Zod in action. Every shot of Micheal Shannon oozes the utmost intensity.



 What a great trailer and you can watch it now.

COMICBOOK REVIEW: Garfield's Pet Force 2014 Special

Time for a comicbook review of an unusual comic for me. Every once in a while at the comic shop, I may feel particularly random. Something odd may call to me from the shelves. This comic is one such oddity. Garfield's Pet Force 2014 Special jam-packed with two epic Garfield's Pet Force stories. What is Garfield's Pet Force? I had no idea. I'm familiar with the concept of Oddie and Garfield and watched the cartoon a few times as a kid. I wouldn't consider myself a Garfield fan in the slightest. This comic may have changed my mind on the lasagna loving cat, though. Garfield's Petforce is Garfield as a superhero named Garzooka. Garzooka leads the Pet Force which is made up of his cartoon friends who have their own superpowers and dorky names. The stories are written by Scott Nickel. The first one is called "Cat-astrophe in the Cosmos" with pencils by Gary Barker and George Lane the third, inks were done by Mark and Stephanie Heike. The story s...

-Can we officially shut the fuck up about Jake Locker now? I don't care if he was playing the Pittsburgh Steelers, 4-20 for 71 yards, a TD, and 2 INTs is unacceptable. If you take away a 45 yard TD strike to Jermaine Kearse, he was 3-19 for 26 yards and 2 INTs. He's got lots of talent and I'm sure he's a perfectly decent kid but the idea that Locker is the ultimate prospect in this year's NFL Draft is inexplicable. His Heisman campaign is obviously deader than dead at this point and I see no reason that he won't be the next Tim Couch. -Here's a random one: Kansas is down 31-10 to Southern Miss...they score a touchdown with 5:17 left in the game...and go for two?! Uh...what? Who did the math on that one? What possible scenario are they planning for? Are they planning cut the deficit to 13 instead of 14 in hopes that, in the event that they have to settle for two field goals at some point, they can still tie the game (with the addition of another touch...
