Video of the Day: "Your Entrance Was Good. His Was Better!"

           Yeah, yeah, I know. The San Diego Comic Con is over. Done. Finito. But I just keep finding videos from the event that are just so damn awesome. Take for example this video from the 'Iron Man 3' panel in Hall H. Not only did Tony Stark .... I mean, RDJ show up, he SHOWED UP! Dude comes dancing in to the tunes of of some old school Luther Vandross and gets up on stage and has the crowd completely eating out of his hand in less than 3 minutes. 



           Dude has swagger on an epic level. Just saying.

Video of the Day: 'TRON-a-palooza'!!

       
          In the course of my research for the latest episode of "Authentic Geek The PODCAST", I found several awesome 'TRON' videos on the YouTubes! Check'em out!

#1: 'TRON - The Next Day" -- See what happens after the end of "Legacy" when Sam takes over ENCOM.





#2: "TRON 3" Teaser -- A special scene included on the "TRON Legacy" Blu-Ray, hinting at the involvement of the Dillingers in the anticipated sequel!





#3: "TRON Destiny" Fan-Trailer -- A rather well-made fan trailer for the thrid TRON movie. It's seriously awesome!!





#4: "TR3N" Trailer -- Another fan trailer for the potential 3rd film in the franchise, cut together from "TRON - The Next Day", the "TRON Destiny" trailer, "Inception", Daft Punk's "Derezzed" music video and scenes from the video game "TRON Evolution".

So, No 'YO JOE" 'Til Next Year?! Uh-oh!!

          In the infinite @%$#-ing wisdom of Hollywood, the forth-coming action film "G.I. Joe - Retaliation" has been pushed back nearly A YEAR so it can be converted to 3D. Now, this is pretty much being done for over-seas markets, where 3D movies are big money. But, beyond that, I really think this a stupid move. I mean, the movie was only 36 days away! The movie was done, ready to go. I know it. You know it. So, don't be surprised in the film magically appears online in the next month or so.

          The summer movie season is a huge money maker for film companies, so to push back what would have been a potentially huge film is already a bone-headed move. And I don't even want to think of what kind of bull Paramount piled up to get all the parties involved (Skydance Productions, MGM and Hasbro) to let this happen. I am especially perplexed that Hasbro has let this go through. I mean, the potential losses in toy sales,  marketing and media promos is staggering to say the least. I was actually looking forward to picking up some of the toys, specifically the Rock/Roadblock & Bruce Willis/Joe Colton action figures.


         OH, I almost forgot to mention that when "G.I. Joe - Retaliation" DOES reach theatres next year, it's going up against "The Host", a film based on Stephanie Myers' other book series. That's right! John McClane & The Rock are going up against the creator of "Twilight" & her legion of slavishly devoted 'tween fans/minions. I weep for their children.


         I was really looking forward to this movie for two reasons. One was that the first film was weak sauce (and I mean the weakest of sauce) in it's depiction of the franchise. Second reason was, based on the trailers, "Retaliation" looked to be a big, dumb and fun summer blockbuster, just like the movies of my youth. Ninjas, explosions and Cobra Commander. OH MY!

          So, in summation, I would like to express my opinion of this monumentally stupid decision thusly:



          Yes, indeed. Go fuck yourself, Hollywood!

"Happy STAR WARS Day!"

         "Authentic Geek" would like to wish a Happy "May the 4th" to one and all! Celebrate this day by watching the Original Trilogy, wearing your Jedi robes/housecoat to the store or practising your Yoda-speak. I'm going to begin the celebration by watching Darth Vader totally school Hitler in a rap battle! See you next week!!

"Epic Rap Battles of History: Darth Vader vs Hitler, Part 1"

"Epic Rap Battles of History: Darth Vader vs Hitler, Part 2"

"The Expendables II" Trailer Just Kicked My Ass!

          When you were a kid, did you ever think of how freakin' awesome it would be like if Rambo, the Universal Soldier, John McClane, the Terminator and Walker, Texas Ranger were in a movie together?! Well, wonder no longer and behold the trailer for just such a movie, that contains more testosterone and awesome-ness than any such movie has a right to!



          I'm not ashamed to say I shed a tear of joy when I watched this. Just saying. I can also say that my father (God rest his soul) would've been in line IN FRONT of me at the theatre when this manliest of movies opens on August 17th this fall.
