Another Way To Die music video drops

The Jack White & Alicia Keys theme song for the upcoming Bond film Quantum Of Solace has premiered exclusively over at Yahoo!. Check it out and let us know what you think and where it ranks in the hall of Bond movie themes. I do wonder, however, how would Amy Winehouse’s version of this would have sounded like.

Have you visited They Came From The Valley lately?

So They Came From Valley has been around for a while and we’ve had a pretty good response so far. At this point, users have uploaded 26 different videos (including some of our swedes from the Fresno Swede Film Festival) and I have to say, it’s a pretty good gathering of some of the different talents around here. If you haven’t gone by in a while, I invite you to do so and discover some of the local talent we have here. Also, if you have some stuff to upload, do it NOW! We’re always keeping an eye out for new stuff (but remember, we’ve got guidelines) so bust out that DV tape and send it up over there. We also have some forums over there to discuss all the latest happenings. Vimeo makes it easy and the quality looks 100 times better than You Tube so why are you still reading this and not over there yet?

Random Goodness: Marc Ecko does Star Wars

Just last week, PartyMarty & I were discussing the Marvel Comics license Marc Ecko obtained for a couple of years around 1999 and how it was one of the first times that a license was used in that manner to attract the older generation of comic book fans with dope integration between comic books & clothing design. No longer were we limited to logo stamped t-shirts from comic book stores. Nope, the characters we grew up reading had been implemented in a tasteful manner in which nerds all around wouldn’t have to fear getting ridiculed for wear such things. And now, it seems that era might have returned with Ecko picking up the Star wars license. Fuck….that Boba Fett hoodie is so fucken dope! Sure, it’s $98 but dude……it’s a Boba Fett hoodie! You can head on over to the official site here and place you order right now if you got the skrilla but I’m sure we’ll be seeing these hitting your favorite mall pretty soon. Guess I finally have a reason to return to the mall to shop for clothes. Head on over to Slash Film here to check out the full post including a special code on how to get $10 off any order over $100 PLUS free shipping. Nice!

Dem Trailers: Seven Pounds

I saw this trailer for the first time during last Friday’s Presidential debate as from what I saw, it looks pretty good. Awesome cast, cool visual style…nice. Supposedly, this is the film that will win the Fresh Prince an Oscar (but remember, so was The Pursuit Of Happyness) but we’ll see. Check it out and let us know if you think this is the one for Will Smith.

Dem Trailers: The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button

Lot of trailers today (I guess the studios are expecting Eagle Eye to do big this weekend) and here’s David Fincher’s newest. A lot of speculation that there’s beef happening between the director and the studio heads over the cut of the film but who knows how this’ll end up. Some early reviews have been not so nice. Check out the trailer over here at Apple and see what you think.

Dem Trailers: Extended W. Trailer

W.

Perfect way to start off debate night! This a very extended trailer for Oliver Stone’s comedy/drama/satire project. Is this going to be the sneak attack film of the season? Who knows but it looks good so far. And I’m not a huge Stone fan either!

Dem Trailers: The Spirit

Another trailer from Frank Miller’s upcoming film has dropped in to save us from the crap that was the leaked video out of San Diego Comic Con earlier this year. Did it do it’s job and clear up that entire mess or just make it worse? Sam jackson has described this film as a real life “Looney Toons” movie. Interesting….Head on over to Moviefone here, check it out and let us know: does this mark the beginning of a long movie career for Miller or the implosion of an artist with too much vision.
