All credit unto Gizmodo for spotting this tragic ad. In anticipation of the new Batman movie, which does, in fact, look pretty good (and I hate stupid action/adventure movies), there’s a cute “fake” Web site for Gotham Cable News, presumably the fictional city’s source of fair and balanced news. And wouldn’t you know it, Comcast is Gotham’s cable provider! Quick, don’t pass up the Triple Play, so named to trick consumers into thinking they’re getting something rare and beneficial. Never mind that in the real Gotham, New York City, Time Warner is the predominant provider. Anyone else tired of “viral” marketing? It was fun the first time; now it’s a little well-worn. via Gizmodo → Read More
A Dark Knight edition of the Nokia 6205 will be released this Sunday, June 15. You’ll only be able to grab it from verizonwireless.com. Being that it’s a mass market movie tie-in, don’t expect too many high-end features; it’s more or less an entry-level cell. Like, when the camera is a whopping 1.3 megapixels, you should know exactly what type of phone this is. → Read More
http://www.collegehumor.com/moogaloop/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1813453&fullscreen=1 We’re supposed to get a new Dark Knight trailer on Sunday, and I’m excited. We’ve had the teaser for a few weeks now, but one thing I’ve wondered since seeing it the first time is why so many scenes look like they were ripped out of Tim Burton’s Batman from 1989. I guess I’m not alone. One very talented video editor remade the teaser out of scenes from Burton’s film and put together a pretty good shot-for-shot clone. It’s eerie how similar they are, but also really fun to watch. → Read More
