More Viral Marketing news for TDKR

http://www.operationearlybird.com/ The new website that has been created. It has a countdown clock that ends at 10am pacific standard time. I am saddened that I work at that time but rest assured I am going to try and talk my employer in letting me get to a computer to find out what is going on. Below is also another CIA document this time released by @thefirerises from Twitter.

Viral Campaign is off and running for The Dark Knight Rises...

So out of no where the supposed canceled viral campaign shows up. I found out about this at school but wasn't able to act on it until now. Empireonline.com and Wired.com have put up a CIA report. It is involving a Nuclear physicist named Dr. Pavel, both websites tease that these are clues to a upcoming event. That event of course is the Prologue, or perhaps something else. This is the same type of thing that was done with the Dark Knight before the prologue and the trailer with actual footage hit theaters. Never the less the campaign is off running, I am glad my semester for school is coming to a close, because now I don't have to worry about missing school to run around LA again if the opportunity presents itself again. I still have my Joker card and my citizens for batman bumper stickers. I am hoping more sites pop up like before. I am actually going to go back and look them up and see if anything has changed or is updated. Anyways... here are the CIA documents. I am going to be studying these things more then my school work for Finals.

226 Days and counting till the Dark Knight Rises

So nothing really new to report just wanted to say that its 226 Days till the Nolan Trilogy comes to a close. I as you all know am counting down the days. The prologue comes out in a couple days. Apparently it is coming out on the 16th after all. Even though MI: Ghost Protocol comes out the 21st the IMAX version is still coming out on the 16th. So sorry for the confusion, I know in a earlier post I said that it wasn't going to be released on the 16th but it actually is. Christopher Nolan had this to say about the IMAX Prologue "Giving the fans an early look at an IMAX sequence is a great way to draw attention to what I believe will be an incredible way to experience our story when it comes out next summer."  It most certainly is I can't wait to geek out at Midnight on December 16th if its anything like the Dark Knight Prologue you know there will also be a trailer attached at the end. I am going to post a set pic of Christian Bale but it doesn't really reveal anything its just a cool pic.

Like I said nothing revealing but still a cool pic none the less. The IMAX Prologue is suppose to be the Origin of Bane. So it should be epic! I know this trailer is severly outdated but this was the trailer showed at the end of the Dark Knight Prologue, it was only 45 seconds but it still was enough to leave you wanting more. Hopefully Dark Knight Rises has one just like this.

Album Review of Papercut Chronicles II and other Cinema News...

So the before I get into the Album Review, just a update on the prologue release date, its not the 16th anymore, its now the 21st of December. It's still attached with Mission: Impossible IV aka Ghost Protocol.  The prologue is going to be very similar to the Dark Knight one, and what I mean by that is, it is the first 6 to seven minutes of the film like before, and it shows the origin of Bane in the Nolan timeline, just like the Dark Knight Prologue showed Joker's origin in the timeline. Its also only attached to IMAX copies of Ghost Protocol, just like Dark Knight's was attached to IMAX copies of I Am Legend. Paul Franklin the Dark Knight Rises Visual Effects Supervisor tweeted a link on his twitter to official IMAX theatres so you can see the prologue. Just like Paul Franklin I too am providing the link. List of Official Imax Theaters The theater I am seeing it at is the Edwards at the Ontario Mills. So if you will be there expect to see me there as well, on Dec 20th at Midnight, please note that after the prologue I will be walking out because I don't care for the Mission Impossible Franchise. In other releated Rises news another cover of Banes Empire cover magazine has been released, its a limited edition one. This franchise has gone back to sucking the money out of me. I also now have to start buying the shirts again, as the first official one has been released, its the teaser poster.

Straight up Bad Ass

So now for the Album Review... as you may or may not know, I am an avid Gym Class Heroes fan. For the last year I have been pretty excited and hyped up for this album to come out. I became even more hyped up when I saw a teaser performance of their new album at Club Nokia this past summer. Just when I thought my hype at reached its peak you could only imagine how more stoked I was when I found out I would be receiving the album a week early due to ordering their VIP package for their concert at the Grove with the Dirty Heads. Bottom line I really wanted this album to come out. So as you might know they cancelled their concert I bought and thus my VIP package was cancelled. Besides leaving a sour taste in my mouth due to making a couple of media appearances and performances after cancelling their tour due to Travie's hospitalization. I still love this album. I have literally raped my replay button and have just looped this album over and over again. It was truly worth the hype. It feels like Papercut Chronicles one to me but just better. Now I will admit I am still bitter about the whole concert thing, more so because they are still going to Jingle Ball for Kiss FM but I guess I will eventually get over it. My favorite songs off the album are not really the singles. Holy Horseshit Batman is by far my favorite track and not for the title, it sums up how I feel about religion and that's why I really like the song, I totally identify with it. Solo Discotheque(Whiskey Business) is the next track followed by Kid Nothing and the Never-Ended Nightmare. Then the singles just fall into place, I like Ass Back Home over Stereo Hearts now and then Fighter. I am aware that I didn't need to name off the order of the songs but I felt like I should. This album was very well done, a interesting note is that in Kid Nothing which is the last track there is a 3 minute gap of silence followed by the outro by an audio voice, I personally think its funny but that is just me. As you can tell I heavily recommend this album it is really good. Its the first album all year that I have been excited for that didn't disappoint. Mind you Gym Class Heroes is one of my favorite bands so I am some what biased, I do feel though that if you pick up this album 9 out of 10 says you will enjoy it.

Happy Thanksgiving

 Just wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Hope your holiday weekend is a memorable and safe one. Here's another pic from the Long Halloween Comics.

Well over due update (yet again)

All of November is almost gone and this blog only has two updates for the month of November. I sincerly appologize, I know ive said this before but I do plan on updating this more. Just a little recap of new info for the Dark Knight Rises.

I already posted this info before but it needs to be restated. A 6 minute prologue has been attached to Mission Impossible 4, in Imax of course. The Prologue hits theaters December 16th 2011. Another interesting tidbit is that a 2nd Trailer is being rumored to be attached to Sherlock Holmes 2. So if that rumor is true expect mass internet buzz around the 13th for leaked footage of the trailer, if it does exist. As far as set news I am sad to report nothing big has come about. In all honesty I kept myself in the dark during the New York set so that I wouldn't ruin the film for myself. I am sure if you look else where you will get your fix of set pics and set reports. The one time stuff I posted in October was simply that, a one time deal. Today though Empire Magazine revealed a dueling cover set for Dark Knight Rises. One is of course the Caped Crusader himself, the other is the Venom filled Warrior Bane. This shot is considered an official reveal, his viral reveal was also official but it wasn't a shot of him from the front like the Magazine cover. I for one am going to buy both these magazines and possibly frame them...yeah its a little weird but eh when there worth something one day I will be happy that I did it.

In Arkham City news, I thought I had encountered a glitch but it wasn't a glitch it was actually Big Head Mode. I looked it up on IGN and they show the proper way to do it. I did this by accident and didn't save my game after, I am not sure if you can switch back from Big Head Mode, but I am sure its just a matter of doing the same thing over again. Besides the little easter egg, for those of you who did not preorder the game at Best Buy. Robin will be available for purchase on the 22nd. Its all the same stuff you would of gotten at Best Buy just not for free. Remember to get all the achievements or trophies you do need Robin, so if your thinking about passing on the DLC pack know you won't be able to get them all.

Tuesday the 22nd Robin Packed Released 

So that's all I got, hope it was enjoyable blog update. The next update won't be 2 weeks from now it will be much sooner. I plan on doing some album reviews later in the week. So until then, I leave you this.

Laggin on Updates, here is why

My friend posted this on his Facebook I thought I would share it with everyone too

So as most of you know I have done really bad at updating this. It started off well and then declined, basically you saw where my life got hectic haha... anyways, reason why other then school has been that I just got a job, I now work at Best Buy. Ive been training and been really busy with school too. Midterms that I bombed...all that fun stuff. In random news about my life, I am currently working on a couple side projects, as far as the school radio stations I am trying to get my show idea passed and approved. Its a metal show, so hopefully it gets approved and I can get that rolling in the Winter. Other side project that will take longer is a short film. I have been inspired to do my own batman film, its gonna be a piece based on Black Mask, a nolanized version if you will. I got a rough draft pieced together, I am hoping to begin filming that sucker early spring. Not sure if I wanna youtube it or just keep it in my personal collection.

As far as TDKR news pretty much same boat nothing new other then spoilers. There are rumors floating around that we will get a second trailer soon. Most likely early December. So that is pretty cool, uh I still haven't gotten to watch Batman Year One, its on the list, and as soon as my discount at Best Buy kicks in, I am buying it. As far as Arkham City news, Nightwing came out last Tuesday. I still haven't gotten him and in fact I haven't been able to be where I want to be with the game. I beat the story have one more side mission to do, then I just gotta get all the Riddler trophies for Catwoman and Batman. I was hoping to already have it beaten all the way on Normal and then be trying to get 100 percent on hard and story plus but all the stuff I mentioned earlier is getting in the way. I did find a cool Scarecrow easter egg, I am proud of myself for finding it before this video, I am not talking about his mask location but a cool little thing on the boat in the harbor, Check out the video and you will see what I am talking about.



Thats pretty much all I got for this blog post. I just want to let everyone know I am still alive, or rather still plan on updating this blog. Its just taking a while, I do hope to keep this sucker going as long as possible, well after my fall semester, in case you haven't figured it out, that is partially why this blog exists, I had to create it for school. I am trying to update it more then the required one a week thing, just very difficult as you can all see. Anyways I am done with this rant....
