The Hobbit Will Be the Most Adorable Film This Year
Remember the new Hobbit trailer released on Wednesday, and how it was simply fantastic? Well apparently there were several alternate endings to the trailer, meaning several different trailers hit the Internets. I only saw the one, and shared the one, so clearly we were all missing out. Now it seems some noble soul has made a montage of the different endings, basically resulting in simply clips from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. And these scenes are absolutely adorable! This movie looks better and better!
Portal 2 Animation is the Bee’s Knees
Somebody took a 40-second clip of Portal 2 dialogue and made this cute little animation out of it. I applaud that kind of forward thinking.
A little weird that they made all the robots into humans, but nothing wrong with that in the end! It’s much more expressive and delightful that way. Big props to Not Quite Normal!
A classic action platformer gets some new moves and a new look
A hard-hitting, two-fisted 80s arcade classic returned last week to rave reviews, and this is one of them. Available on Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network, the Double Dragon franchise comes back with a new look and a host of new moves, and its kung fu is good.
Robin’s Pixie Boots Are No More!
Today’s Nightwing #0 retells the origin of original Robin, Dick Grayson, and it reveals that the old, classic Robin costume of pixie boots, bare legs and green short shorts is not part of the New 52 rebooted universe! This is awesome news! Granted, it’s not going to suddenly change public perception of Robin, but it’s a strong step towards finally putting that embarrassing costume away for good.
Behold, the new original Robin costume!
Superhero artists love to add arrows that point to the crotch
Personally, I think it’s a little too futuristic. Batman is still wearing a pretty standard costume, design-wise, so why Robin suddenly has to have all these curves and rounded edges is beyond me. But I still like it. I like it loads more than the original Robin costume.
There are a few other new wrinkles to Dick Grayson’s origin, but I’ll consider them spoilers and put them after the jump.
Bilbo Baggins is Going on an Adventure!
The new trailer for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey hit the Internets today, and boy howdy is it great!
Back when I was talking about Lincoln, I clearly forgot that this movie was coming out in December. The first Hobbit film still looks amazing, and this new trailer makes it even more so! I’ve never read the books, so I don’t know what the story is about in advance, but what little tidbits we get here are kind of exciting. And the actor playing Bilbo, Martin Freeman, seems so adorably nerdy.
