Sure, The Hulk Musical is silly, but I'd wager it's much better than Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark and costs a whole lot less for the same effect. And I'm sure this music is better than anything Bono can write.

HULK GONNA SING, HULK GONNA DANCE
Sure, The Hulk Musical is silly, but I'd wager it's much better than Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark and costs a whole lot less for the same effect. And I'm sure this music is better than anything Bono can write.

SHUT UP CRIME!
The poster for James Gunn's upcoming movie, Super, was released. I loved Slither and can't wait for this one. Super is scheduled to release April 1st, 2011. The official synopsis is below:
Frank (Rainn Wilson) is an average guy who transforms himself into superhero The Crimson Bolt after his wife Sarah (Liv Tyler) hooks up with a smooth-talking drug dealer, Jacques (Kevin Bacon). What Frank lacks in superpowers, he makes up for with a trusty wrench in his one-man war on crime. But every superhero needs a sidekick. Enter Libby (Ellen Page), a cute psychopath working at the local comic book store. Transforming into “Boltie”, Libby teams up with Frank to take Jacques down. From the surprising imagination of writer-director James Gunn (Slither) comes Bolt and Boltie, a crazed crime fighting duo for the XBox generation. They’re here to save the day, or at least to beat you up.

I FIND YOUR LACK OF GIGABYTES DISTURBING
Hear "The Imperial March (Darth Vader's Theme)" played on a floppy disc and a hard drive. Never has technology sounded so good.

A WOLVERINE NAMED LOGAN
Comic books and cartoons can teach us so much about life but sometimes they don't always represent reality. Artist Shane Parker came to realize this when he discovered, "I had always trusted that the avatars of the animal kingdom closely represented their real life counterparts. Namely that hedgehogs were blue, Tasmanian Devils were slobbering whirlwinds of fury and wolverines were long clawed yellow animals with a propensity to smoke cigars." Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to Jellystone Park to find that cute bear that wears a tie and likes to go to picnics.
TEDDY ROOSEVELT VS BIGFOOT
I knew our 26th President Teddy Roosevelt was tough but I had no idea he fought Bigfoot. Artist Jason Heuser gives us his interpretation of the event.
"He's one of America's most bad-ass presidents....Teddy Roosevelt. Not only did Teddy Roosevelt give a speech with a bullet in his chest, but what many people don't know is he slaughtered many bigfoot in his time...this is a picture of one of those events."
I bet this is when he came up with his famous phrase, "Speak softly and carry a big stick."
EXTREME COSPLAYING
XtremeJenn likes to take her cosplay photo shoots to the extreme. Here she is rappelling "off a 165' foot waterfall in Victoria, Australia." Tell her what you'd like to see in a cosplay action photo.

SHINY ROLLER SKATES
Ginny McQueen loves Dazzler and her shiny roller skates. This was a labor of love since Ginny "had to individually cut squares out of round sequins so I could make the hundreds I needed for the skates." And as you can see, her hard work paid off.

NEW SUCKER PUNCH TRAILER
A new trailer was released for Zack Snyder's upcoming, Sucker Punch. It's not much more than a music video (with terrible music) showing off some action scenes. The movie looks fun but let's hope this music is not in the final mix.
PREDATOR: THE MUSICAL
I hope Arnold Schwarzenegger starts making movies again soon just so Jon and Al Kaplan can continue making musicals based on his films. My personal favorite is Commando: The Musical, I can't get "Jenny and Me" out of my head. Now sing along, "If it bleeds, we can kill it!"
PINK ARMADILLO ATTACK!
For those of you who think you've seen everything in movies, I bet you can't say you've seen a woman who swivels her hips and turns into a pink armadillo, rolls into a ball, crashes into a truck and then kisses the driver, leaving a stamp on his forehead. You gotta' love the Japanese!

KEVIN COSTNER HEADED TO SMALLVILLE
That's right, Kevin Costner will be playing Jonathan "Pa" Kent in Zack Snyder's upcoming Superman movie. Now if he can only ask his "son" to fly faster than the speed of light and save us all from Waterworld from ever being made. And The Postman. Oh, and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.
Thanks, Terry!

YODA VALENTINES
Artist Lawrence Noble created a giant fiber glass Star Wars Yoda heart in San Francisco's Union Square Park. It was part of a fundraiser for a local hospital and was obviously a huge hit.

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN
Sony officially released the new title of their upcoming Spidey movie, The Amazing Spider-Man, along with a new photo. The title is ironic since the costume looks so different from the comic book version. I realize not everything from comic books can translate to film well and I'm glad to see the web shooters but the costume is a wreck. And are those yellow eyes?!? Sigh. Maybe it's not as bad as the costumes from the Catwoman movie or upcoming Green Lantern film but this is pretty weak. I wouldn't bet against a Green Goblin that looks like he's from the Broadway version.

SUPERMAN CLASSIC
Rob Pratt is all kinds of awesome. He's a Disney animator, loves the classic Superman serials and even created his very own Superman cartoon, Superman Classic. That makes him pretty super in my book!

GHOST WORLD PILLOW
I've said it before and I'll say it again; Terry Zwigoff's Ghost World is the best comic book movie ever made. VictoriaTheGerm obviously agrees and created this beautiful Ghost World pillow featuring Enid. The pillow is completely made of felt and handcrafted. At nearly 15 1/2" wide and 13 1/2 high, this pillow quickly sold out but I'm hoping another one will soon be available. Meanwhile, there's a beautiful Wonder Woman pillow for sale, as well as Star Wars and Velma from Scooby-Doo.
