Entertainment Weekly has a first look at Christian Bale's costume in The Dark Knight. Here's a larger photo, in case you want to peer closer at the detail on Batman's forearms (the razors are "retractable, and yep, they're weapons") and the "200 individual pieces of rubber, fiberglass, and nylon and metallic mesh" used to make the suit.
I think it look's awesome, and just goes to show the impact Chris Nolan is having on the franchise.

Review: Send Away The Tigers & Neon Bible
Typically I keep my musical tastes to myself, as wide and various as they are, but every once in a while I stumble upon something so good I can't keep it to myself. In this instance, I have two CDs I want the world to know about, if they don't already.The first, titled: Send Away the Tigers, is the 8th album from Welsh rockers, Manic Street Preachers. Two singles from the album, (both my favorites) Your Love is Not Enough & Autumnsong, have already found critical acclaim, as well as shooting to the tops of the UK charts. It wasn't until I got a hold of this album that I had even heard of the band, and now that I have, I've managed to get my hands on every song they've ever produced. Over the 8 albums they've created, their sounds have changed from a Brit-Punk, to more of a up tempo alternative rock. I gotta say though, of all their albums, I'm loving this one the most.
The 2nd album, Neon Bible by, is the sophomore album from critically acclaimed Candian rockers, Arcade Fire. The band, hailing from Quebec was founded in 2003 by the husband and wife team Win Butler and Régine Chassagne. David Bowie heard the band while on tour and brought them to the attention of label owners. Still without a major label backing, the success of the band and the album Funeral has been acclaimed as an Internet phenomenon. After a 9.7 rating from Pitchfork, Merge Records sold out their inventory of Funeral and it became the label's first album in the Billboard 200 chart.
On March 6th, 2007 the band released Neon Bible (I was there to buy it as soon as the doors opened) and immediately the album started getting rave reviews everywhere. I feel like the band is still pretty well unknown to the general population, as you won't see them on MTV, but hey, I'd rather listen to a band who made the cover of TIME magazine any day...

RV's Live Raw Review: 6-11-07
Alright kiddies, llive Raw review time. What is a live Raw review you ask? Well I review and give my thoughts on whats happening on Raw, as I watch it. So beware! Many typos and shitty grammar will follow, because I am watching TV and typing at the same time ya ass!
Ok, first time watching Raw in over 2 months, its starting now, here we go!
Vince is reading his speech, blah blah blah.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Cena.
Woooo!!!!!!!!! Edge!!!!!!!!
I can not, fucking, stand Cena. He is the MAIN reason that after years and years, of being a huge WWE fan and watching Raw religiously that I STOPPED watching this shit, fucking Cena is a talentless piece of shit, and Edge is greatness. This match is pointless, Cena will win, nobody apparently can beat him, so fuck it. I call it right now, Cena wins.
HAHAHAH WOW IM WRONG! Edge wins by countout! Fuck it, Ill take it! Any Cena loss, is a good loss. Why? Because Edge has wrestling smarts, and Cena fucking blows!
WTF is happening to the screen? This is weird, Im scared. Uh, The Great Khali drafted to Smackdown, wasnt he just on Smackdown a couple months ago? Yay?Fucking GAY. Hopefully no douche bag had The Great Khali in his Raw e fed cause now hes screwed and even a bigger loser for having that guy as an e fed character than he is for even playing that shit in the first place.
Hey look the castrol gtx commercial! With Goldberg! No, not the wrestler, the dude in the car in the drive thru that gets the oil dumped on him is in fact, Goldbgerg from The Mighty Ducks! I shit you not.
Ahhhh back when Vince was announcing, back when Raw was good and interesting. Loved it. I remember in those days I QUIT my job at Blockbuster because they were gonna make me work a Monday night. Fuck that. Jesse The Body. Fuckin awesome, god damn sexual tyranosaurus. Night of champions at Vengeance, also known as, still wont order it. So fuck it. Main event is... something weird that I dont get since I kinda blocked Coach out. Uh oh Raw vs ECW time. Here comes CM Punk AKA The Most Overrated Piece Of Shit. Seriously wtf is up with people going ape shit for that guy, he sucks.
OH SHIT PRINCE COMMERCIAL!! FUCK YES PRINCE RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Boo yaa, now go jump in the waters of lake minnitonka to get purified bitches, i want to see asses, i, want, perfection.
Uh oh Carlito vs CM Hack. OH DUDE FUCKIN STRAIGHT EDGE IS THE WAY TO FUCKIN BE CAUSE ITS SO HARDCORE!! DURRRRRRRRR blow me. Carlito, underused. Could be doing huge mathes bigger angles but instead hes doing shit all the time. Take a nap during this match. I wonder if this Socko energy drink is the drink that Eric Bischoff and Jason Hervey put together. Yes, Im serious, Bischoff and yes THAT Jason Hervery of Wonder Years and Monster Squad fame, made an energy drink. Ill try it, I like me a good energy drink sometimes. Why the fuck does CM Punk have the pepsi logo tattooed on him? Dont tell me it means something else, or its actually something else, at first glance by anyone, its the fucking pepsi logo. And just like CM Punk himself, pepsi fucking blows, coke rules its face off. WTF was that Sting in the audience? HEY STINGER STING THIS! CM Punk will win.... ugh. Yep. Well whoever gets drafted to ECW can kiss their careers goodbye. And say hello to TNA. ROFLMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO OEFJSFJDSKFLHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA BYE BOOGEYMAN, NICE HAVIN YA IN WWE. Tell Christian I said hi when youre released or quit and go to TNA. This Boogeyman shit is the worst gimmick since the fuckin Goobley Gooker shit. Darth Maul should kick his ass for taking his make up job.
WTF Snoop Dogg? Jimmy Bones is that you!?!
Mmmmmmm taco bell. Those new quesadillas are so good, I think I might have to get one tomorrow for lunch, or do some Burger King and get one of the new western whoppers, cause I like western, and i like whoppers, and when the two come together, OH MAN.
Vince made out with Trish, lucky fucker. YOURRRRRRRRE FIREEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDD. Vince used to kick so much ass, now hes boring. Blagh. Oh shit Montreal Screw job!!!!!! Foley time. blah blah blah, I always lose matches, blah blah blah, but Im still cool and write good books. Id love to see Foley have a title run, of course never happen, but hey, still would be nice. Thank god there is no Hulk Hogan on tonight, so fuckin sick of him. And wtf is Foley talking about, Bischoff was already on talking about Vince? Wasnt he? Well that was boring.
Yay pointless match, Balls vs Umaga, gee, I wonder who will win, well Smackdown got a pick, ECW got a pick, so obviously Raw will win this match, fucking retarded, WWE sucks. I hate onions. So who will be the pick?? DUNNNNN DUN DUN DUN THE PICK IS..............ROFWAFFLS great, Booker T. Yay.
Oh goodie Benoit vs Lashley... ugh. Hate them both, Benoit is a great wrestler but fucking bores me, and Lashley AKA Negoberg AKA Black Lesner sucks balls. WTF SteveO? Oh yeah, his new show, time to pimp his show, blagh. Great. Cant wait for that shit. Fucks sake. yay, black lesner wins. ugh. So who else is going to ECW to fade away and die? LMFAFOEOOFEOFAFAOFEOFOEOFEOEOO BENOIT TO ECW! SAY HI TO TNA BENOIT!!! Uhhh Mae Young and Moolah? Undressing...... what in the blue hell are the doing?? I wish a hand would come out or something, they need to revisit that angle. Ugh, another shitty match that I dont care about.
Oh shit the Iron Shiek and Superfly!! BRAHDA! Iron Shiek has a shit load of medals. Does anyone understand a full sentence that he says? Play raquetball? What in the hell? Uh yay, Torrie is going to Smackdown. This is the WORST fucking draft ever, fucking stupid pointless annoying moronic wrestlers that do nothing an have zero fucking impact on any brand are being drafted, how about some HUGE fucking drafts? Boogeyman, Torrie, Booker T, Khali, WOW HUGE DRAFTS HAPPENING TONIGHT! Ugh, atleast Bret Hart, the greatest wrestler ever in my pov is up next.
Ok that was kinda lame, he just wants to hit him? OH FOR THE FUCK OF CUM, THE MIZ. I FUCKING QUIT. FUCK THIS HORSE SHIT, THE ONLY THING WORSE THAN CENA IS THE FUCKING MIZ. OH FOR THE CHRIST OF ALL MIGHTY SNITSKY. ugh.... this has gone from bad to SHIT. ugh, this Raw is the same ol shit so far. These drafts are fucking pathetic. Wow, Chris Masters, yay....
Well atleast Roddy Pipper is here. Anything involving him is cool. Too bad hes not always on, too bad all these people appearing like Hart, Piper, Snuka, Shiek, arent being drafted, and instead TORRIE IS GOING TO SMACKDOWN!!! OMFGGG CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!?!? ...........
OH WOW CANDICE VS SHARMELL MATCH OF THE CENTURY!!! God damn I cant wait till this is over, so far, I have no intention of watching next week.

Tracy Morgan dressed as Apollo is the best thing to happen on the USA channel in years. Ok so this is the worst battle royal ever, smackdown guys are trying to throw each other out.

AHAHHA god damn the good ol days ruled. Ok so Vince says thank you and drops the mic....... Does the Backlund look....... Ok so, the big huge ending is apparently.... Vince doing nothing, literally?

Review: Oceans 13
I love me some Oceans movies. The first one I worship. I got the soundtrack which is rocked frequently. And the movie is quoted freely. I have bits and pieces all memorized. I really love that movie alot. Along comes the 2nd movies. Sigh.... They tried to do something really different with it, and even though it was still somewhat cool and had a cool premise. It really fell flat and left a bitter taste in my mouth. Was not pleased, as much as I tried and tried to love it as much as the first, I only kinda liked it, for the main reason that it was an Oceans movie. Thankfully word comes of the third movie, and I hoped for the best, what did I get?The best! As much as I love the first movie, I love this just as much, if not more. The plot is awesome, the twists and turns all perfect. And shit, it even has Super Dave in it!! Super Dave!! Gone is Julia Roberts and Catherine Zeta Jones. They sit this one out, and its explained very simple and easy in just a couple lines in the beginning of the movie. And they are not missed, this is the guys this time, doing what they do best. So whats this greatness about? Very mild spoilers abound.....
Reuben (Elliot Gould) has somewhat of a heart attack or so, after being extremely screwed over by Mr. Banks (Al Pacino) and is in a very deep depression. So like the trailer says, you cross one Ocean, you cross them all. So along comes the rest of the crew, ready to get some revenge for poor Reuben. Their plan? Not to get rich, as from all their schemes and robberies they are well off. For awhile. Their plan is to make Mr. Banks casino lose all its money from people winning, they have to rig the slots, the blackjack, the roulette, everything, all to win. They got alot they gotta take care of in order to accomplish this, and spend much money doing so, and when a big piece of equipment that is crucial to their plan, costing 36 million dollars. They run dry, and their hopes of revenge dim, until good ol Matt Damon comes along and has an idea, which they are not keen on. They go to the one man that they know has money, Terry Benedict(Andy Garcia). Well he hates them, for the obvious reasons, but he hates Mr. Banks even more, because he is competition and wants to see him fail miserably. So he joins the crew this time, but can he be trusted? This is the ultimate time for him to get his revenge on them from the first movie. There is many new things that are great in this movie, all the characters are given more play time, Scott Caan and Casey Affleck damn near steal the show with their tiny subplot involving a plant that makes dice down in Mexico, hilarious stuff. And of course a really nice shot at Brad Pitt from George Clooney, at the end of the movie. Just listen to the line about kids. You should get it. CoughAngelinaAdoptionMadnessCough.I do not want to say too much, because I don't want to give anything away, but if you like the Oceans movies, or even if you loved the first but hated the second movie, you will like or love this. Or even if you didn't like the first two movies, you might just like this and it will change your mind. Of course this is a must, a big must! You really need to watch the first two movies to really get a feel and understanding for all these characters.
So, the big one. This is part three of the movies. There are so far, alot of part threes this year, we got Spidey 3, Pirates 3, Shrek 3, Oceans 3. So the big question people are asking, which is the best of the 4? I give you my list... In order from worst, to best....
4. Shrek 3
3. Spidey 3
2. Pirates 3.
and that only leaves...
1. Oceans Thirteen. The best of them all.
Go see this, do what I did, I had me an Oceansathon. Watched 11 last night, 12 earlier today, and capped it off with 13. I hope they bring it on with a 14, but I feel like this is it for them. And if so they ended it on a perfect note.
The Man Reviews: Hostel 2
USAtoday reports that: "Porn-torture is what passes for horror these days, and Hostel gleefully pushes the envelope. If this movie is any indication, Roth's career goal is to make a snuff film."
That my friends, is a spot on observation. I have never been much of a fan of these types of horror movies. The slasher flick never really did it for me, as I would more often than not find myself exasperated with the lead character's stupidity, or the general cheesiness of the murderer. Freddy Krueger...Jason Vorhees...Michael Myers...those types never held much ground for me. That being said, I went in to the murder/mayhem types expecting to maybe be scared by a movie for the first time since The Blair Witch Project...
This new genre of movies has really hit the scene after the SAW franchise took off, and Eli Roth was good to pick up on that cue, and write Hostel. I watched the first Hostel by myself, in the middle of the day, and to be honest...I thought it sucked. The acting was disastrous, the gore was gratuitous, and the plot was weak and full of more holes than swiss cheese. I wasn't once scared watching that movie, though my gag reflex was put to the test with a number of scenes...and I found myself squirming worse than the time I watched Unfaithful with my mother...Anyways, on to Hostel 2.
The trailers were the first thing to peak my interest, with promises of hot chicks getting down in a hot tub. Who doesn't want to see Slovakian H.L.A.? I know I do. Too bad that whole scene lasts all of 3 seconds...but that's another story. I decided I'd give Hostel 2 a chance, cuz hey - at least Jay Hernandez isn't in it...WRONG. Gotta love the Friday the 13th style prologue this movie has. PREDICTABLE MUCH, Roth? I guess Eli Roth can thank the guys at the SAW franchise for getting me to watch this movie. I thought, well..SAW 2 and SAW 3 rocked my face...so surely Hostel 2 will bring it. Bring what, you ask? Bring the GORE...the mayhem...and the sick plot twists. Sure, there's a few things that left looking for my barf bag, but hey - that's what it's all about, right? It's supposed to invoke your gag reflex. It's supposed to make you think to yourself "OH FUCK THATS SOME SICK SHIT RIGHT THERE!" Hell, there were times when I considered cutting the surround sound off, because I was worried the neighbors were going to think I was butchering a shrieky Jersey girl down here.
I may not be a big Eli Roth fan, but I'll give him his credit where it's due. He stepped it up with this sequel. I quoted USAtoday.com at the beginning, and I won't quote them any further. That little blurb was the nicest thing they had to say...so that should be a perfect indication of what "critics" are going to think of this film. Of course, to each his own...I think you have to be a fan of horror to truly enjoy this film. If anything, it might've helped to rekindle that little flame I still have burning for horror film. Me and Horror ain't been doin so good lately...but Hostel 2 seems to have been the cure for my ailments.
One of the TV spots promises that the movie has the most shocking ending in recent history...I don't know if I necessarily agree with that...as I kinda had the idea that what happens would happen...but when it does happen, It's surprising...and then some. This sequel, unlike it's predecessor sees three American students Beth (Lauren German), Whitney (Bijou Phillips) and Lorna (Heather Matarazzo) who are studying in Rome but take a vacation in, where else, Slovakia...what follows is exactly what you would expect.
If all these things don't sell you on the movie, just say to yourself - "Self, how bad do YOU want to see Heather Matazarro naked?"
Cuz where I stand - THAT - was the most shocking thing in recent film history...
I'm The Man - and as you know by now - That's That.
That my friends, is a spot on observation. I have never been much of a fan of these types of horror movies.

The trailers were the first thing to peak my interest, with promises of hot chicks getting down in a hot tub. Who doesn't want to see Slovakian H.L.A.? I know I do. Too bad that whole scene lasts all of 3 seconds...but that's another story. I decided I'd give Hostel 2 a chance, cuz hey - at least Jay Hernandez isn't in it...WRONG. Gotta love the Friday the 13th style prologue this movie has. PREDICTABLE MUCH, Roth? I guess Eli Roth can thank the guys at the SAW franchise for getting me to watch this movie. I thought, well..SAW 2 and SAW 3 rocked my face...so surely Hostel 2 will bring it. Bring what, you ask? Bring the GORE...the mayhem...and the sick plot twists. Sure, there's a few things that left looking for my barf bag, but hey - that's what it's all about, right? It's supposed to invoke your gag reflex. It's supposed to make you think to yourself "OH FUCK THATS SOME SICK SHIT RIGHT THERE!" Hell, there were times when I considered cutting the surround sound off, because I was worried the neighbors were going to think I was butchering a shrieky Jersey girl down here.
I may not be a big Eli Roth fan, but I'll give him his credit where it's due. He stepped it up with this sequel. I quoted USAtoday.com at the beginning, and I won't quote them any further. That little blurb was the nicest thing they had to say...so that should be a perfect indication of what "critics" are going to think of this film. Of course, to each his own...I think you have to be a fan of horror to truly enjoy this film. If anything, it might've helped to rekindle that little flame I still have burning for horror film. Me and Horror ain't been doin so good lately...but Hostel 2 seems to have been the cure for my ailments.
One of the TV spots promises that the movie has the most shocking ending in recent history...I don't know if I necessarily agree with that...as I kinda had the idea that what happens would happen...but when it does happen, It's surprising...and then some. This sequel, unlike it's predecessor sees three American students Beth (Lauren German), Whitney (Bijou Phillips) and Lorna (Heather Matarazzo) who are studying in Rome but take a vacation in, where else, Slovakia...what follows is exactly what you would expect.
If all these things don't sell you on the movie, just say to yourself - "Self, how bad do YOU want to see Heather Matazarro naked?"
Cuz where I stand - THAT - was the most shocking thing in recent film history...
I'm The Man - and as you know by now - That's That.
