Wednesday Links.

General, Movies, TV

I have a few links that I wanted to share and instead of making a bunch of “asides” I decided to put them all together in one post:

  • What if I told you a movie was coming out about a mysterious story of two magicians (Hugh Jackman and Christian bale) whose intense rivalry leads them on a life-long battle for supremacy full of obsession, deceit and jealousy with dangerous and deadly consequences? Would you be interested? What if I told you it was co-written and directed by Christopher Nolan? What if it also had Michael Caine, Scarlett Johansson, David Bowie and Andy Serkis? I’m excited. And it’s coming out this year! Batman vs Wolverine with Magic?!?! Woo Hoo. First photo here.
  • For all you Entourage fans, HBO took out a pretty cool Ad in Variety for the fake movie Aquaman
  • The Blue-Gray Sky (A Notre Dame Blog) is doing an analysis of why they got whooped during the Fiesta Bowl. The link is to a really good break down of the 1st quarter touchdown pass from Troy Smith to Teddy Ginn. I believe they are going to break down the other scoring plays we had so keep an eye out.

    [...] The past few months I really haven’t seen any movies come out that have given me the urge to get up and go pay 10 bucks to watch. Maybe it’s because I’ve had football to watch all weekend long, or because the Fall TV season started back up and I have way too many shows that I like to keep up with. Or maybe recent movies have just sucked, but October is looking to have quite a good selection. This weekend, The Departed comes out staring about 20 named actors. Looks pretty good if you’re into the cop/crime drama sort of film. Following that we have The Prestige  and Flag of our Fathers. I’ve already talked about The Prestige in a previous post, and I’m still just as excited. Flag of our Fathers is based on a book of the same name that tells the story of the Battle of Iwo Jima. I had heard about it a few months back, but hadn’t seen anything on it till last night. There was a 30 second HD trailer on during Lost and it looked amazing. I’m definitely going to try to catch this one. It’s directed by Clint Eastwood and will have a second one that comes out later in the year called Letters from Iwo Jima that tells the battle from the Japanese POV. Very cool. Final late in the month we have Borat and Babel . Borat is going to be hilarious (if you’re into that kind of funny), and from the trailer, Babel looks very cool. Something like Crash or Traffic. I can see it getting lots of talk for Oscar season if it’s any good. [...]
