Snark, Critic and Pop!

Going to the midnight showing of the Dark Knight Rises tonight.  My summer long mission of not watching any of the tv spots or trailers (after allowing myself one viewing of the first full trailer) or reading anything about the films. 

As much as I dig trailers, I’ve decided that when I know I want to watch a movie, why spoil the treat?  And Christopher Nolan doing the finale to a truly epic Batman trilogy with Anne Hathaway as Catwoman & Tom Hardy as Bane?  I can’t wait!

A terrific mash-up of the Dark Knight Rises trailer done with visuals from the Lion King:

In the grand scheme of things, 2011 was a bit lackluster in the “big movie” department. Some good Summer fare, nothing really blew me away. 2012 is looking quite extremely rather marvelously good, however. Where to begin? Where better than the Hobbit Part 1, which comes out December 2012:

Specifically, Anne Hathaway as Catwoman in 2012′s Dark Knight Rises. Hurry up, 2012! 

Can’t embed, but you can find it here.

I can’t wait for July 2012 any longer! The 1st Dark Knight Trailer is here, and me want to see the movie now! (continue reading…)

All Right, Brian, I’ll See Your Bane Picture . . . and raise you Anne Hathaway as Catwoman. 

I know Adam West feels that the only real Catwoman is Julie Newmar, Lee Merriweather, or Eartha Kitt, but I think even Mayor West may cut Anne some slack. 

If my posts are sporadic at best over the next year, it’s because I am in line waiting to buy tickets to The Dark Knight Rises.  Stupid 2011 Summer movies!  Be more Batman-y!!

Tom Hardy is a favorite here at SNP – and not just because Daniel has a fondness of Christopher Nolan’s directing ability bordering on “obsessed Twilight fan” levels.  He is a great actor and a great villain.  He will be bringing both to Nolan’s new Batman film The Dark Knight Rises where he will portray Bane.  A shot of Bane has hit the web, and as you can see Hardy has bulked up Bronson style.  Calm down Daniel, it’s not out until NEXT year!
