Batman 3 cast: Anne Hathaway’s Catwoman

 

I’m not sure what to think about this picture of Anne Hathaway’s Catwoman. Mostly because I don’t see Catwoman in this costume at all. No ears, just black leather. At this point I think that Halle Berry’s costume for Catwoman was better than this. Maybe this year at Comicon I will just wear black leather and a cool pair of shades and call myself Catwoman too! I think that this is the most disappointing costume for DC that I have ever seen. If this costume is any indication of her ability to play Catwoman, I am not impressed. I personally would not have cast her in this role, she’s not the Catwoman type, she’s more Selina Kyle than Catwoman and you need someone who can play both. So are you as un-excited about this costume and casting choice as I am? Let me know!

Eddie Vedder + Ukulele = Awesome!

I love Eddie Vedder. I have listened to him starting with Temple of the Dog, then Pearl Jam and lastly his independant stuff. I loved his soundtrack work on Into the Wild soundtrack, so it was no surprise that I would love his newest album, Ukulele Songs.

There is something soothing about Eddie’s voice. It has captivated me since I was younger. My high school years were spent listening to Pearl Jam’s Ten cd so much that I wore it out and had to buy a new copy. I was a grunge girl and I loved it. Growing up in Washington State, especially near Evergreen State College , it was pretty much expected that you would love grunge and well, I did.

Part of what I love about Eddie Vedder is the times that I had listening to him. I remember going out to the Skokomish River Valley with friends on early release days and heading up to the trails, listening to Pearl Jam’s Ten or the Red Hot Chili Peppers Blood Sugar Sex Magic in my friend’s car. I hear “Under the Bridge” without thinking about the Steel Bridge in the Skok Valley.

So, maybe by listening to Eddie, I am transported to my younger days, but I still love it. Now to Ukulele Songs. Most people think of the ukulele as in Hawaii or Jack Johnson. But Eddie brings a whole new sound to it. It’s not your typically ukulele music, this has more of a grunge/rock and roll feel to it that makes it sound like a whole new genre. He jams on the ukulele as if it were a standar 6 string, which most people won’t do. So, if you are an Eddie fan like me, make sure to check out Ukulele Songs. If you still aren’t sure, then watch this video and decide for yourself!


 

This is for my friend, Sarah, who was with during these awesome memories!

Derezzed Music Video – Daft Punk Rocks!!!

Okay, so I’m on a bit of TRON kick today. It happens! THis has to be one of my favorite songs to run to, work out to, and just listen to. What I love about this song, especially when I’m running (yes, nerds run) is that it one of those songs that the beat just drives me (or you). So, as I have the day off of running, Enjoy this awesome song on me!

Tron Legacy in 8-Bit!

As a TRON fan, I thought this was pretty awesome! I hope that you guys like it too!

Star Wars Xbox 360 Kinect Game – Actually be a Jedi!

Finally! A Xbox 360 Kinect game that I am really excited for! This game was talked about at this week’s E3 conference and I am really excited! This is the type of game that I have been waiting for on the Kinect and it lends itself really well for the Kinect! If you are a Star Wars fan, this game looks awesome! It’s the closest thing to actually being a Jedi! How cool is that!? Don’t believe that this game will rock? Watch for yourselves! According to IGN’s website, this game is set to release around November/December of this year. I know what I want in my stocking!


 

What do you think about this game? Also what games would you like to see as Kinect games (ie. Halo, Medal of Honor, Gears….?)

Movie Trailer: Atlas Shrugged, Part 1

I read this book years ago and thought it would be a good fit for a movie adaptation. So I am really excited to see the trailer for this new movie. I am glad that they have split it into two parts, as it is a bigger book that deserves to be a two part movie. I am bummed because this movie only hit select theaters in April and the select theaters are no where close to where I live, so I will just have to wait for it to come closer or for the DVD release. If you are like me and no where near a theater where it played, then at least enjoy the trailer!
