New Judge Dredd Trailer has Distinct Lack of Rob Schneider
No Sylvester Stallone either. But honestly, this new movie, Dredd, is going to have a very, very hard time convincing the average movie-going public that this isn’t just that old Judge Dredd movie done over again, if that it’s been more than 10 years. The character just doesn’t have the kind of appeal in America that Spider-Man or the Incredible Hulk have, both of whom have managed to do a full movie reboot within only a few years of the previous attempt.
Still, I’m on board for this new movie. Check out the first trailer to Dredd.
Also, mad props to star Karl Urban, the guy who played Eomer in the Lord of the Rings, and Bones in the new Star Trek. Apparently this guy is such a big Judge Dredd fan that he practically made this new movie happen all by himself because he hated the Sylvester Stallone adaptation so much. Urban loves Dredd to such an extent that he never takes off his helmet in the new movie. That’s how it went in the comics, but Sylvester Stallone was always taking his helmet off in his version.
I will always respect a celebrity who’s willing to keep his pretty mug from flashing on screen if it means staying true to the character. Toby Maguire was always taking off his mask in the original Spider-Man films, same for Topher Grace as Venom. Pretty boys couldn’t handle keeping their damn masks on!
This Guy is Close to Being a Personal Hero
If you’ve never heard of Dancing Matt Harding, that’s a real shame. This guy is the epitome of awesome. I don’t know much about the back story, but he’s this regular sort of guy who travels the world and gets people to dance with him, then compiles these amazing videos. I guess he’s done four now, and the newest one was just released this week. Take a look and enjoy!
This guy, this is the guy. This speaks to everything I believe about society, politics, borders, humanity, everything! We’re all just people from the same damn human race, and it would just be so easy to get together and dance.
Here’s the first video I saw of him, which is probably my favorite. It’s even awesomer! Click that link above. He’s got 4 now.
It’s Not Easy Being a Brony
I’m a brony. And I’m not ashamed to admit it either. I love me some My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. That show is awesome! But seeing as how I’m a 28-year-old man who lives alone, some might say this is not a good thing. Well to hell with them! The show kicks ass.
And I’m definitely not the only brony (or pegasister) in the world! Sing loud, my pony-loving friends! Sing strong!
The song was put together by a punch of people at a recent convention, I think. Check out the Youtube credits.
Also, for anyone following along from my earlier List of Six this morning, my car is fine! It was fixed and is back on the road!
Avengers Prequel
This is from the Internet. I don’t know who made it, but it’s quite awesome!
If you know who made it, let me know in the comments!
My Top 6 Favorite Pop Culture Cars
So my car – a gray 2005 Chrysler Sebring I’ve nicknamed ‘Donkey’ – is in the shop this week for a blown thermostat thingamajig. Depending on when this List gets published, the thingamawhatsis was fixed and my car is back on the road, or I’ve totally had to junk the thing and will soon be buying a new car. Fingers crossed for the first thing.
In honor of my car, which is the first car I’ve ever owned, I’ve decided to throw together a list of my favorite motor vehicles in pop culture. Because all the best characters have badass wheels. As Robin once said in a movie that should never, ever be quoted, “Chicks dig the car.”
Did you know Robin had a car? It was named ‘Redbird’
This list is only going to include motor vehicles like cars, trucks and vans. So no spaceships, no boats and no TARDIS. Perhaps they’ll get their own list some day. And I hope you guys share with me some of your favorite cars from pop culture! I’m sure I’ve missed a few really awesome ones.
