The Dark Knight Rises Trailer Promises Football, Voiceover

Release Date: 
Jul 20 2012
Director: 
Christopher Nolan
Cast: 
Christian Bale
Tom Hardy
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Anne Hathaway
Gary Oldman

It's hard to do anything but relish the awesome here, but let's be honest, all you can think about is Hines Ward. You can get mad all you want about Ward being over the hill, or crack wise about him outrunning anything at this point, but at least it wasn't Jamie Foxx. Aside from the horrible looking football the rest seems pretty Batmany and I mean that in the best way possible. All the Christopher Nolan superhero goodness will be heading your way July 20th with an "epic conclusion", like what happened in my pants when Anne Hathaway whispered in Bruce's ear.

Side note: Epic Conclusion is my new band name. It's a solo project. 

Synopsis: 
Eight years after the events of The Dark Knight, the terrorist leader Bane arrives in Gotham City, pushing it and its police force to their limits, forcing its former hero Batman to resurface after taking the fall for Harvey Dent's crimes.

Tim Heidecker, Eric Wareheim
Cast: 
Tim Heidecker
Eric Wareheim
Zach Galifianakis
John C. Reilly
Will Ferrell

Not really sure how this is going to play out lengthwise - that's what she said - but I am pretty sure I can handle as much Tim and Eric as they're willing to throw at me. The rest of the world may differ, but they probably don't celebrate Chrimbus either those Scrooges. The film actually hits OnDemand about five weeks before the theaters so the best part is you won't even have to leave your couch. Shrim.

Synopsis: 
An all new feature film from the twisted minds of cult comedy heroes Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim (“Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job”)!

When they happen upon a chance to rehabilitate a bankrupt mall full of vagrants, bizarre stores and a man-eating wolf that stalks the food court, they see dollar signs—a billion of them. Featuring cameos from Awesome Show regulars and some of the biggest names in comedy today!

The Best Song & Video About The Broncos' Three Amigos Ever

This isn't the Men's Wearhouse but I absolutely guarantee that this is the best tribute song and video you will ever see about a trio of Denver Broncos' wide receivers. Especially now that they are going to start using extra offensive linemen split wide with Tim Tebow at quarterback. Relax, it's just a sports joke God, we like to have fun here.

For those wondering the "Three Amigos" in question are Mark Jackson, Vance Johnson and Ricky Nattiel. The song is presumably by Andrew Lloyd Weber or someone equally talented as evidenced by the genius use of "touchdown banditos". [via Everything Is Terrible]

Friday's Foreign Covers: A Small Victory

When I think of Faith No More there are quite a few instruments that float through my head before arriving at ukulele. Thankfully Brazilian youtuber liaamancio isn't at all like me, aside from the fact that she loves Faith No More, hence the uke cover of "A Small Victory" above. I was hoping for a bit more Mike Patton growl for the sore losers and winners but you certainly can't question the effort. Of course this led me to go stumbling further down the cover rabbit hole where I found this gem of a version below that applies to the category as well, complete with Costa Rican Kurt Dyer going full growl for his solo acoustic take. Good times.

Watch tUnE-yArDs Do A Tiny Desk Concert

It's officially December which means you are about to get inundated with best of lists, and as a lazy segue how about we watch some of the songs from one of my favorite albums of the year being performed in a crowded office? Thanks to the gift that keeps on giving, NPR, you can see Merrill Garbus and the rest of tUne-yArDs rock three tunes from their fantastic album w h o k i l l. If by chance you have no clue about the band, I recommend at least a test viewing as Garbus has quite the way of drawing you in, mainly by being incredibly awesome.
