YES! It’s only been two days since 20th Century Fox announced that they signed director, David Slade (The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, 30 Days and Nights) and iGT is already following it up with rumors!  Hollywood is buzzing with who might be the next actor to helm to title, “The Man Without Fear”. It was already confirmed that Ben Affleck will not be included in the reboot and it is obvious the franchise will need to put some new blood in the mix if it is to be become a hit. Already circulating around the town are three names.

1. Robert Pattinson (The Twilight Saga): The West Hollywood Resnorter reports that Edward Cullen might be putting on the red cowl. Slade has already worked with the sparkling fella on Eclipse and now that Twilight is winding down, RobPatt is going to need another gig. Why not Daredevil. I don’t know about you, but I’m still not impressed with Pattinson’s acting abilities and if he can’t pull off Matt Murdock, how do you expect him to be the Daredevil. I say hell no!

2. Bradley Cooper (The Hangover, A-Tem): Some random “insider” at Moviefone hints that Cooper is on the top of the list. Well, I say thats pretty good. Cooper is pretty studly (damn his six pack) and I find him very charming on screen. He has done a wide variety of movies from comedy, action, and drama so he’s abilities has been tested. I buy it.

3. Garrett Hedlund (TRON: Legacy): Lost in the Multiplex reports that there are rumors regarding the possibility of Hedlund becoming Matt Murdock. Coming off a blockbuster hit (I’m not counting ‘Country Strong’), Hedlund passed on the chance to be Captain America in ‘The First Avenger’ due to the multi-picture deal (reported at nine), and has shown interest in Daredevil. I’m down because he brought TRON back to me. He’s that precious to me.

So what do you think? Who do you think would be a great Daredevil?  This is all bullshit rumors and we will not know until Slade and Fox announces their picks. Until then, lets just imagine.

Impromptu: Behold, the Giant Chicken Boba Fett Cosplay!

18 March 2011 Eric Kwun | Posted in: Customized, OMGWTFBBQ!

I’m not a “picture and caption” kind of guy and I have no use for that on my site and leave that for my tumblr page (Kicking Ewoks for Fun!), but I could pass up the chance to spotlight this awesome cosplayer. Photo taken by Socal Photography at the recent Emerald City Comicon (which took place on March 4-6 at Seattle, Washington). As you can see, this is a brilliant cosplay of Ernie the Chicken as Boba Fett as seen in ‘The Family Guy’s hilarious take on ‘Star Wars’, “Something, Something, Something Dark Side”. From the looks of it, the cosplayer used the standard Boba Fett helmet from Hasbro and created the rest of the costume. I can’t help be in awe of this costume. I really wish I knew who the person behind the helmet was so I can give them some credit and some love.

See! That was more than a caption! Right?

For 50 Bucks You Can Get “Down and Dirty” in a Batman Themed “Love Motel”

17 March 2011 Eric Kwun | Posted in: Agents of G.E.E.K., Current Events, OMGWTFBBQ!

Geez. This is pretty insane. At “Eden” in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan you can spend some “alone time” with your lady friend (or guy friend) in style. Within the 46 room motel, there is a room decorated in Batman decor! Everything from a bed sporting a cushy Batman logo to Batman logo etched mirrors, and even a couch decked out to look like the “Tumbler” from ‘Batman Begins’ and ‘The Dark Knight’. To stay in the tacky, but luxurious room, it will cost you around $50 for three hours. Now, you might ask why its rented out in hourly segment. Well, if you weren’t aware, like many motels in Asia, this room is more made for “erotic activities” than sleeping. For those that pick up a stranger at a bar and need a place to “get down and dirty”, Eden’s Batman room is the place to go. With the room, Eden also supplies you with lubrication, sexy lingerie and other perks for an extra fee of course. Yikes!

This is one of the reasons I was laughing so hard when people on Twitter were saying that they would love to stay there. I wouldn’t sit anywhere in this room without paper towels to put down for protection. Thats just how I roll.

“I Was Banging Seven Gram Rocks, That How I Roll”: WINNING a Song by Charlie Sheen

13 March 2011 Eric Kwun | Posted in: Current Events, OMGWTFBBQ!, Watch It!

I have been hesitant to post anything about Charlie Sheen and decided I was only going to waste one post on the fallen Hollywood star. Well, after a week of random quotes that moved onto becoming legendary memes such as “Tiger Blood” and “Adonis DNA”, “The Gregory Bros” AKA “Auto-Tuning the News (@autotunethenews) created a pretty hilarious song using some of Sheen’s more memorable quotes from recent interviews. Titled, “WINNING – a song by Charlie Sheen”, this music video (with the help of “auto-tuning), makes Charlie Sheen even more mad than he already is. It’s worth the watch. As I mentioned before, this will be my first and last post regarding Charlie Sheen UNLESS something crazy happens like a sequel to ‘Hot Shots’ or ‘Major League’.

The Ugliest ‘X-Men: First Class’ Poster Ever Versus The Coolest ‘X-Men: First Class’ Poster Ever

10 March 2011 Eric Kwun | Posted in: Customized, Eye Candy, OMGWTFBBQ!

xmenposters00

Matthew Vaughn has been quoted that ‘X-Men: First Class’ will be the ‘Batman Begins’ of the X-Men universe. When comparisons like that is made, we expect excellence. Well, we didn’t get that yesterday at the ‘X-Men: First Class’ Facebook page. What we got were probably the two ugliest fucking posters of ALL TIME. All it was, is a black silhouette of “Future” Professor X and Magneto with a large face of the “First Class” version of themselves floating at their crotch. I have to ask. What dumb bastard at the studio made these and why do they still have a job when there are tons of artists that can do better sitting on a toilet that can’t find a paying job? For example, “Duckala” created two awesome fan-made ‘X-Men: First Class’ posters that blew my mind. It was simple, but beautifully done. It serves as a great tribute to classic poster art from movies like ‘Vertigo’. Fox needs to get their shit together and scrap these. It’s not like a lot of work went into them.

Hit the jump to check out the “official” and “fan made” posters. You decide which it better.

Shrug: Sienna Miller “Compromised Values” for the Role of Baroness in ‘G.I. Joe: Rise of COBRA’

4 March 2011 Eric Kwun | Posted in: Current Events, OMGWTFBBQ!, Watch It!

Well, it looks like director Jon M. Chu (Step Up 3D, Justin Bieber’s Never Say Never 3D) is going to have to look for a new Baroness for “G.I. Joe 2″. Sienna Miller, who played the stunning Baroness in ‘G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA’ has told Britain’s Time Out magazine that during the shooting of the first film, she was very unhappy due to the reason that she felt that she compromised her own values even though she received a hefty paycheck for sporting skin-tight leather and shooting guns.

It was what it was, but I compromised my own values to a certain degree and I didn’t feel good about that.

I’m not very good at fighting. And I’m not very good at guns. And I’m not particularly aggressive. I had to wear sunglasses because every time I shot my gun I would blink. I was completely out of place, like this little midget running round in black leather winning fights, which was just absurd. They did a wondrous job with my wardrobe to make me look threatening.

G.I. Joe (was) a great pay cheque. If, financially, I’m okay – which luckily I am – there’s no point in doing stuff that’s not right for me. It’s too much time away from home.

I’m not sure what all the fuss is about considering how corny the movie was, I felt that Miller’s Baroness was one of the bright spots. I can respect the fact that she doesn’t want to be away from home, but you would think she would have known the sacrifices that must be made to be part of a huge blockbuster franchise like G.I. Joe. However, the idea of Sienna’s task of playing the role of Baroness would lead to “compromising her own values” seems a bit dramatic. Maybe she bite more than she can chew? Who knows. Only Sienna Miller would know the answer to that.

With this interview, maybe there is some truth to FusedFilm’s article regarding the recasting of Baroness and Rex Lewis AKA Cobra Commander. Sienna wasn’t happy and won’t resign and Joseph Gordon Levitt is a stud in Hollywood and is booked on multiple projects and his schedule is full. Regardless, Paramount will move on and I’m pretty sure G.I. Joe 2 will be as entertaining as the first (unless Jon Chu fucks it up…). I just pray they don’t bring back Marlon Wayans (Ripcord) because his character was terrible.

Anyone up for Kate Beckinsale as Baroness?

Somehow, “The Scattered Trees” Made Me Dislike ‘Star Wars’ (for a Little While)

4 March 2011 Eric Kwun | Posted in: Agents of G.E.E.K., OMGWTFBBQ!, Watch It!

scatteredtrees

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, the boys of Scattered Trees capture a princess. Unfortunately, one of them falls in love.

‘The Scattered Trees‘ music video for their song, “Love and Leave” follows the story of a Stormtrooper who falls in love with his prisoner, Queen Amidala. Being torn between doing his job and being with her, the Stormtrooper leans towards love and frees Amidala. They embrace and kiss and than it is followed by Amidala putting a lightsaber through the Stormtrooper’s gut. On top of that, Amidala goes out and “Force Chokes” some Stormtroopers and Boba Fett to death. After killing her kidnappers, Amidala teleports out of the kidnapper’s hideout to safety. That was pretty confusing. I didn’t really follow the lyrics much considering the song was a bit “emo” for my taste. However, I did find the visuals appealing. As much as I love the quality of the Star Wars cosplay, I REALLY need to ask. How does Amidala use the “Force” and who “beamed her up”. I really wonder if ‘The Scattered Trees’ or director J.M. Harper are real Star Wars fans or not. Was Boba Fett and Stormtroopers randomly thrown into this video just to garner the attention of Star Wars fans into listening to their music? Regardless, they have suckered me into writing about it and showing the video. As much as I love Star Wars, this music video and song was a real turn-off. BAH!
