VIDEO GOLD: CHECK OUT NIGHTWING

Image
Check out Grayson: Earth One is a new web series that follows an alternate life for Batman's prodigal son Dick Grayson. I like it cause it draws from a lot of Dark Knight returns mythology. Carrie Kelley, and the mutant gang for starters. Tell us what you think. In the comments below.

VIDEO GOLD: WHITE HOT NBA FINALS pt 3

Image
Still getting super psyched to see the Heat vs the Spurs tonight on ABC. Texas is a great basketball state but Miami is gonna shut down San Antonio and end a proud Spurs dynasty to cement the greatest dynasty. The best part about the Heat is all the talent.

This is a modern classic with some amazing footage of Lebron and D-Wade and Bosh to accompany it.

VIDEO GOLD: Searching for Steve Ditko

Image
Here at Vundablog.com we want to honor and respect the comic book gods. And one such god is Steve Ditko. In Search of Steve Ditko is a fascinating documentary narrated by Jonathan Ross of the BBC. This documentary is a great chance to see lots of cool Steve Ditko art and learn about the man who designed the Spiderman suit and some of the most influential comics of all time. They not only talk about the Marvel books like Spiderman and Dr. Strange but also his later creations at Charlton Comics like the Question and Mr. A and his DC creations the Creeper, and Hawk and Dove. Ditko's story themes and morality tales are dissected by comics greats like Joe Quesada, John Romita, Alan Moore, Mark Millar, Neil Gaiman, and Stan Lee. The documentary explains Ditko's complicated objectivist political ideology that falls in line with over-hyped writer Ayn Rand.  Alan Moore talks about how Rorschach is inspired by Ditko's work. Hearing John Romita worry about h...

VIDEO GOLD: MASHUP OF STEEL

Image
I love these video mash-ups. This week we are mashing up the new Zack Snyder Superman film , and the S uperman 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.

Burning Bush: Conan the Detroyer

Image
Burning Bush is switching from Fridays to Thursdays so that Derrick can talk about wrestling. This week more great Team CoCo style comedy. Suck it Bush.

Burning Bush: Sword of Conan

Image
After our recent rundown of great Letterman bush moments. I thought it's time to give a lat night host I actually enjoy some spotlight. I love Conan O'brien I always try to keep an eye out for what he's saying and doing so let's take a look at some of his best Bush derived humor . 

Burning Bush: Lettermania PT. 4

Image
  Letterman's Bush catalog still has some good gaffes. I think this will be the last Lettermania Burning Bush edition for a while, maybe next week it'll be Leno, or Conan's turn.

POP CULTURE HEROES: Kevin Smith's Intimate session

Image
Kevin Smith is one of my favorite pop-culture icons. On my personal Mount Rushmore of directors that influence me he's got the Abe Lincoln spot. As you can tell from previous blogs , I really dig his smodcast internet radio network. I first discovered him as a filmmaker though. The first time a Kevin Smith project caught my eye was Mallrats. I was nine years old at the time and I saw tv spots for the film. I instantly thought it was cool and looked like something I had to see. I wouldn't see it for another 4 years. Cut to the year 1999 my brother Gabby and his then girlfriend Jeanette who practically lived at the movie theatre every weekend at this time. Head out on a date to see it. I remember asking them about the movie after their return. It must of been somewhere in their response that I learned about the filmmaker Kevin Smith and Jay and Silent Bob the stoner heroes who are in four major feature films. That Christmas ...

VIDEO GOLD: THE LION KING RISES

Image
The Dark Knight Rises blu-ray   is due out for holiday gift giving goodness. In a semi related note so is The Lion King on the Blu-ray . This mash-up trailer of the Dark Knight Rises and the Lion King is the purpose of this post. Check it out it is masterfully done. 

VIDEO GOLD: McCLANE AND SON

Image
We hear at the Vundablog love us some action movies. One of the strongest pillars of the action movie genre is always Die Hard. This time Die Hard 5, the debut of McClane and Son ass kicking/terrorist thwarting freelance business. Bruce Willis tearing it up in the USSR. Based on the trailer the movie looks incredibly fun. The only time in the trailer I was annoyed was the gratuitous boob shot and then the card Died Hard was a bit in poor taste. However the action looks top notch premium explosions and car crashes. I'm excited, I think the Valentine's day release date is a bit odd, I'd wait till summer to make an event of this but I'm sure the super studio geniuses have figered it all out.    

VIDEO GOLD: Dial S for Silence

Image
It's wierd how Hollywood has two different Hitchcock movies in popular circulation. The first was on HBO called The Girl which explored a very dark side of the Hitchcock film legacy. The other project is   Hitchcock starring Anthony Hopkins, Scarlett Johansson, and the return to the silver screen of the great Ralph Macchio. More so than Hitchcock hype, I am a stickler for theatre ettiquette. I believe that the filmic experience is sacred. In movie theatres we are in a shared space. Partaking in a sharing of experiences and ideas.  Talking should be at an extreme minimum. Cell phones should be silent and touched rarely through out the film. The following is a viral video for the film which comes out January 2013. The video ironically looks like it was shot on a cell phone, and it imagines what Hitchcock's cellphone ettiquette message would have sounded like. Hopkins Hitchcock looks prettyy legit, I can barely see Odin in it.

VIDEO GOLD: Wreck-it Ralph

Image
Disney's newest film, Wreck-It Ralph is awesome. Disney has released these sweet viral videos to promote the movie and it is my extrem pleasure to share them with you. The first one is for Ralph's own game Fix-It Felix Jr. The game is similar to Donkey Kong although it also vaguely reminds me of Dig-Dug for the graphics and the fact you have to physically tap to fix the windows, the way you had to tap with Dig Dug to inflate monsters too death. I have been playing this game on my phone everytime I feel nostalgic for the film.           You can play the games made up for the movie here  Fix-it Felix Jr., Hero's Duty, and Sugar Rush. The second viral commercial is for the racing game Sugar Rush. Which is sort of like Candy Land, meets Mario Cart(the title recalls san fransisco rush). The character design work is pure genius. The gameplay and names and concepts for the games are better than most new games coming ou...

VIDEO GOLD: 25 YEARS OF PIXAR ANIMATION

Image
Love the song choice to capture the epicness and scope of deep and primordial ideas bubbling in all these movies. I remember being in the car with my cousins on the way to see "Toy Story" for the first time. Contemplating the idea of a computer generated film and imagining that the film was made by some sort of giant super computer program, wondering if the fact that it was all computers would be entertaining enough for the length of the movie. I was so deliciously naive. And I was blown away. One time I tagged along on a date with my brother Gabby and his future-wife to see "A Bugs Life." I was so scared of those effing grasshoppers. I still kinda fear them. "Toy Story 2" has one of my favorite film intros to watch over and over ad nauseam and which I have YouTubed many times. It is the pure glory and imagination of playing with toys perfected.  When I saw "Monsters, Inc." with my cousin Dex we were in a theatre full of children a...

VIDEO GOLD: Agent Phil's animated debut

Image
I'm not a huge fan of the  Ultimate Spiderman  cartoon, only watch it occasionally if my nephews are in the Spider-mood. However, I can't pass up how cool it is to see Agent Phil Coulson make his animated debut. His death was only the beginning to solidifying his awesomeness. I hope Phil has a big role in the new "Avengers Assemble" cartoon. Although he may be too busy for it as they've announced that everyone's favorite Agent Phil will be one of the stars of the new  SHIELD TV show . Whedon is taking care of Clark Gregg. Also, Coulson is set to appear in the comics making his immortality fully complete. I don't think fans have taken to a character like this since Harley Quinn. I'm sad to see  Avengers: Earths Mightiest Heroes go.

VIDEO GOLD: Unchained

Image
I love movies. I love westerns. The western is the earliest, most primal form of cinema. Technology is stripped away.  Danger is ratcheted up. Violence can erupt at any moment. The western was one of the most popular and enduring genres of early american popular fiction. Its popularity eventually waned before being reinvigorated by Clint Eastwood and the spaghetti western auteurs. I love me a good spaghetti western. Nothing is more cinematic to me than the spaghetti western music and visual style and Sergio Leone and his collaborators were geniuses. In fact, practically all of my favorite Pirates of the Caribbean moments are homages to the spaghetti western. Eventually its popularity slid once again but perhaps Django  Unchained can once again revive the genre. This is my most anticipated movie of the year, followed closely by the Hobbit.  This new trailer only makes me more excited getting pieces of DiCaprio's villain. This movie looks delicious and like an insta...

VIDEO GOLD: EPIC Power Rangers fan video

Image
 Lately, my buddy Jorge has been bombarding me with Power Ranger trivia and footage culled from the internets. I was searching for footage to combat his lust for obscure Power Rangers footage the other day when I came across this fan imation test footage. I do not know the story behind Mikethewolf the artist beyond his own website . However, his art is and this video are super cool. I love the bulky Power Ranger redesign and the fighting is fantastic. The overall look has a "cool" factor that Power Rangers hasn't had since I was nine years old. The fan film was created by Mikethewolf, a very talented artist. You can see his work at his deviantart page .

VIDEO GOLD This is a new segment I've decided to spawn, to share those rare bits of internet filmilc gold that flash across my screen.   Donald Duck/Lars Von Trier Parody Trailer Everyone once in a while an exceptional trailer comes across youtube that must be shown to as many eyes as possible. This is one such trailer. Combining the style and power of Lars Von Trier with the well known Donald Duck disney adventures is a fantastical endeavor. Who knew gritty drug use and Donald Duck went together so well? This trailer is not for the little ones, but it is for everyone else with an intact funny bone. Avengers Sweded Trailers I saw the Avengers before you! Yes I know. I am awesome. These sweders are also awesome for their expertly made sweded Avengers Trailers. That's right trailers as in two versions. Get hyped for Avengers it's worth it. I wanna swede movies to now.
