I got goosebumps and super amped on this one.

Anyway dude.

Check it out !

This film looks like so much fun. I’m not typically into superhero films as a whole, too niche-geek to me, but this looks far more entertaining than most in the genre. But really, haven’t we all at once time asked ourselves why there weren’t real superheroes running around ? Probably the costume thing would make you feel like a dork. And, if I was a superhero, why would I run around with a bright neon costume ? Wouldn’t I want to be more under the radar ?

Anyway dude.

Per T.A. -

Director Matthew Vaughn (LAYER CAKE, STARDUST) brings the twisted, funny, high-octane adventure Kick-Ass to the big screen.

Kick-Ass tells the story of average teenager Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), a comic-book fanboy who decides to take his obsession as inspiration to become a real-life superhero. As any good superhero would, he chooses a new name — Kick-Ass — assembles a suit and mask to wear, and gets to work fighting crime. There’s only one problem standing in his way: Kick-Ass has absolutely no superpowers whatsoever.

His life is forever changed as he inspires a subculture of copy cats, meets up with a pair of crazed vigilantes – including an 11-year-old sword-wielding dynamo, Hit Girl (Chloë Moretz) and her father, Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage) – and forges a friendship with another fledgling crimefighter, Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). But thanks to the scheming of a local mob boss Frank D’Amico (Mark Strong), that new alliance will be put to the te

God among filmmakers, Malick has gotten Christian Bale, Javier Bardem, Rachel McAdams, and Olga Kurylenko into an untitled love story he’s written and will helm. Shooting begins this fall.

I love this cast and McAdams is fiiiinnneeee.

His Tree of Life is coming later this year.

Here’s his reel.

“When twelve calendar models begin to disappear from a remote cabin, the girlie video they are shooting becomes the first REALITY HORROR movie.”

I wonder of one of the actual Suicide Girls made the poster ? Whoever did it, they spelled ‘disappear’ wrong. See the poster as it’s spelled – ‘disppear’. I’ll forgive them.

Surely you all have heard of The Suicide Girls. See their site SuicideGirls.com. The One Sheet teaser of a horror film. First Look Studios has picked it up for distribution on March 12. This is the company that distro’d Cage’s Bad Lieutenant, but nothing worth mentioning other than that.

This could be interesting if only the fact that there are Suicide Girls in it. Here’s the One Sheet teaser.

Damn if Avatar does not have the film geeks of the world up in arms. While it breaks Box Office Records, it seems people are just looking for shit to bitch about. Can’t people just enjoy the film for what it is ? Popcorn fun. With James Cameron’s ball juice all over it.

From Slashfilm:

“This is a dude named Mike from Milwaukee, WI, who did a 70-minute video review of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. The 7-part dissection tore apart George Lucas’ first installment of the prequel trilogy, and was linked by almost every website known to man. In fact, the video now has over 1.25 million views on YouTube alone. Even geek celebs like Damon Lindelof commented on the review. If you are one of the few who hasn’t seen it – click here now!”

I have not watched yet; I’m posting it and then will update afterwards.

Per Wiki

The Losers is a comic book series published by the Vertigo imprint of DC Comics, written by Andy Diggle and illustrated, for the most part, by Jock. It ran for 32 issues from August 2003 to March 2006. The idea was very loosely based on the original Losers for DC Comics, a group of World War II soldiers …

The Plot

The Losers’ reimagining was set against events surrounding and including the War on Terror. Originally a Special Forces team seconded to the Central Intelligence Agency. in the 90s, the Losers were betrayed by their handler, Max, and left for dead following the conclusion of their operation. Eager for revenge and the opportunity to remove their names from a secret CIA death list, the Losers regroup and conduct covert operations against the CIA and its interests, uncovering startling operations spearheaded by the enigmatic Max, whose influence within the CIA and U.S. government is unparalleled.

Colonel Franklin Clay – The Leader, easily identified by a consistent use of black suits without ties. A meticulous planner, initiative-taker and an excellent leader, Clay harbors the largest grudge against Max, at times appearing visibly angry at the mention of his name.

Roque – The second-in-command, easily identified by the large, vertical scar down the right side of his face and icy demeanor. His ruthless thirst for money motivates a majority of his actions, including the serial betrayal of the Losers and many of his underlings.

Jensen – The hacker, characterized by his spiky blonde hair, glasses and a conspicuous beard on his chin. Known for his nonstop motormouth that often leads him into trouble and a variety of conversational tangents.

Cougar – The sniper, identified by his cowboy hat and haunted demeanor. Morose and laconic as a result of a traumatic combat incident in Afghanistan. An absolute genius with the rifle.

Sgt. Linwood ‘Pooch’ Porteous – The pilot, identifiable by his shaved head and laid-back appearance, has been known to pilot any ground, air or sea vehicle with ease. Despite his involvement with the CIA and Special Forces, is also married with children.

Aisha – The loose cannon, identified by her eyebrow piercing and tied-back hair. Partners with the Losers in light of their common goal of killing Max. Skilled in all combat skills, with particular emphasis on melee and reconnaissance, stemming from a harsh upbringing in Afghanistan and Pakistan, primarily fighting as a child against Soviet soldiers during the Soviet war in Afghanistan. A cold-blooded killer who prefers to leave corpses rather than survivors when she engages the enemy.
