A man named Hüseyin Kalkan, the pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party mayor of the southeastern city of Batman [Turkey], declared war against his city’s namesake superhero, Batman.
Kalkan plans to sue not DC Comics, who own the character, nor Warner Bros., who own DC Comics, but Christopher Nolan, director of The Dark Knight.

LOONEY TUNES is hands down one of the coolest cartoons ever ever ever ever!!!
These Toons however teeter on the psychopathic demented cliff of morbid fascination. Unrelenting acts of blood and discomfort aplenty:
Artist, James Cauty created the controversial exhibition “Splatter” with his 15-year-old son Harry, And of course he is in no way affiliated with Warner Bros.
Apparently the whole subtext of this project was to raise questions about how and what is mediated. Reality and mediated reality. If you ask me, I just think it’s dreadful awesomeness. Not for children though.
Yes I know I just fucked up your day.
Upset by Steven Spielberg’s recent decision to remake OldBoy [+ live-action Ghost In The Shell] and also, catching Twilight Zone: The Movie [1983] late last night – in which Spielberg directed a woeful feel-good symbolic morality short [“Kick the Can”], involving old people in an old home recapturing their youthful spirit thanks to a magical old black man; – the Forbidden Planet sequel, The Thing prequel, The Day The Earth Stood Still remake, Alfred Hitchcock’s surreal thriller The Birds remake, Live-action Akira, Ghostbusters 3, Quarantine [REC] remake] and with the list going on and on; it just makes me want to BITCH.
HOLLYWOOD REMAKES!!!
Why don’t the big wigs with the money see that remakes of masterpiece stories committed to film are the scourge of the creative medium? [given a few exceptions] I think it’s because they really don’t give a damn. It’s all about profit.
So what then of those remake-Directors whose job description is to guide the work and artistic vision of the film?
The only logical explanation one thinking from the pit of anger and summit of knowledge has, is that they’re old. [impaired judgment/lack of fresh ideas/quick $]
A remake of a good film is no less different than an obvious rip-off of Star Wars. Just because they have the right to the name doesn’t make it a good idea.
I just hope it doesn’t catch on as a trend.
We’ve had the War Story, the Cop Drama, the Musical, the Parody, the Black Comedians Dressing Up, the Rob Schnider & Adam Sandler’s, and we’re still in the Superhero phase. I can live with game adaptations, or how about mainstream porn? But when you remake classics, you lose points.
Go the Independents!!!
[Just on the D-low: If I hear of a Explorers, Flight Of The Navigator or The Last Starfighter remake, I’ll be offering sacrificial virgins to Kali Goddess of Dissolution and Destruction to claim the souls of pending filmmakers, and of Paris Hilton, Harry Potter, Uwe Boll and Tom Cruise. Oh! And that black guy/girl on “America’s Next Top Model”. His friend’s too… Kali has many arms]
…I’m sure I mentioned the word Crazy somewhere?
Variety is reporting that DreamWorks is in the process of securing the remake rights to Chan Wook-park’s [JSA (Joint Security Area), Sympathy for Lady Vengence, Sympathy for Mr.Vengence] twisted revenge film Oldboy. A film that, if your reading this, you probably need no introduction to.
I guess Spielberg and Smith have been wanting to work together for some time. But, is this really the dream project? Could Smith and Spielberg ever really embrace the Old Boy backstory or f’ed up ending? Can you imagine how watered down a mainstream Old Boy would have to be?
Let’s wonder how aliens will fit into the plot.
My friend Chris [Hamilton based movie-mogul drunken master], from recollection owns several copies of OldBoy, PAL & NTSC versions and like him, I imagine this news coming like a hammer to the face for OldBoy fans all over the planet.
Steven Spielberg is a visionary genius yes, but this remake news of a classic film [of a classic Manga] isn’t bitter sweet at all. It’s just bitter. Bitter shit, and that’s the worst kind.
I can’t imagine it frankly; One liners from Smith, American product placement, some racial feud I suspect and a political twist. [Sigh]
Winner of the 2004 Cannes Film Festival Grand Jury Prize, director Chan Wook-park’s manga-based thriller became an art house hit. Beautifully shot, the original Oldboy tells a gripping tale about a Seoul businessman [played by Min-sik Choi, pictured] who gets kidnapped and tossed into a cell for 15 years by unseen captors for no apparent reason. Escaping at last, he follows a trail of clues to avenge his tormentors.
GO BUY THE DVD!!! before Chris does.
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has received her first job offer since failing in her bid to become vice-president of the United States, and it comes with a large cash offer. Florida-based porn director Cezar Capone [a.k.a. Bill Fisher] has offered to pay Palin $2 million [$2,000,000.00] to appear in an adult film production.
Capone, who calls himself “the king of all MILF films,” promises in an open letter on his website that the film would be distributed internationally, shot in high definition, and feature a “beautiful mother recognized by all of America … as the most desirable woman over 40.” [he obviously forgot about Carrie Fisher]
To prove he’s serious about the offer, Capone says he’s prepared to hold the money in escrow immediately.
To sweeten the deal, Palin’s husband Todd has been offered a co-starring role in the production, for which Capone would be “prepared to kick in an extra $100,000,” and a new Arctic Cat snowmobile.
Palin hasn’t publicly responded to the offer. And why should she? She’s a committed Christian woman with a family and bla bla bla.
All I have to say is: Eww America, Fucking Get Over It.
A close friend gave me [and others] a post-Halloween scare the other day when he fell ill and was admitted to hospital for 2 nights.
When his girlfriend dropped the news, I didn’t think much about anything else [other than shaving… Men need an excuse to shave] and began scrounging around for coins to catch a Train to see him.
Trains are Trains – an effortless means of public transportation, but some people; like my sick [better now] friend’s friend [who is a friend]; seem to think that catching a Train is a dangerous undertaking. [har-har-har up in har face]
Dangerous Train Crossing in INDIA
Oshiya, or “pusher”, is an informal Japanese term for a worker who stands on the platform of a railway station during the morning and evening rush hours, and pushes people onto the train. This video is a good example of just how crowded it gets on Japanese trains!
Remember when you were a kid, and every trip to the public Library was exciting because you knew exactly where to find that book filled with the coolest pictures of fish and underwater creatures? These pictures are probably better than those:
Underwater Translucent Creatures & Oddities
More alien than my imagination.
I don’t think most of these even have full names…
Ahem, I hereby declare that UFO looking Jellyfish, “Fionnlaghlly!”
11-Year-Old Sungha Jung Plays Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.”
AWE-SOME!
I’ll stick to clapping my hands.
You talented little @%$#^@!!!
![Captain Fantastic - George Garratt [19]](https://darkintheboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/captain-fantastic-george-garratt-19.jpg?w=497 "Captain Fantastic - George Garratt [19]")
George Garratt [19] from Glastonbury, Somerset, is the proud owner of what is thought to be the world’s longest name.
George Garratt changed his name by deed poll [£10 ] to: Captain Fantastic Faster than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine the Hulk and the Flash Combined.
His grandmother is no longer speaking to him.
Captain Fantastic joins a number of people with unusually long names, including Rhoshandiatellyneshiaunneveshenk Koyaanisquatsiuth Williams, a girl born in Texas in 1984.
In February, a judge in New Zealand made a young girl a ward of court so she could change her name from Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii.
Other banned names include Sex Fruit, Keenan Got Lucy and Yeah Detroit.
In New Zealand again, last year a couple was banned from naming their baby 4Real, so they chose Superman instead.
Why did he choose “Faster” ?
A sexual connotation me thinks, Har-Har-Har!
