(THE NEW DARK KNIGHT TRAILER)

I can’t wait for this film to come out. The latest trailer demonstrates why comic book movies don’t have to carry the stigma of, well, comic book movies.

Seeing Heath Ledger steal the show in some of the shots in this trailer is a bittersweet thing, but the best memorial for him will be for this movie to live up to the hype.

If you haven’t watched it yet, here’s the link to the trailer.

(BATTLE AT KREGER)

If you’re one of the few left on the interweb who have not witnessed this marvel of nature, shame on you. But, if it’s true, you’re in for a treat. This is the video National Geographic wishes it shot first.

For the squeamish, no animals were (really) hurt during the filming of this video. But don’t ask me how that’s even remotely possible.

(WORKING CLASS HEROES)

For once, this is a “Why Not” I can answer. I don’t own these amazingly crafted, beautiful, touchy-feely bags and sleeves because I bought a laptop messenger with a little more depth for my books, and the bag I now own (read earlier post) doesn’t require me to have a sleeve.

But if I wasn’t so into thick epic hardcover books, man are these items nice. Maybe I’ll pick up an iPhone sleeve, mmm. Check out these fine Austrian goods for yourself.

Hailed by many top critics as one of the most important science fiction series in history, this four book series (five if you count “Urth of the New Sun”) is a MUST READ for all lovers of fiction period. It’s the story of a man, Severian, exiled from the guild of torturers for committing one of the most serious offenses possible: showing mercy to a client.
