Awesome Stark Industries Messenger Bag Comes Complete With Arc Reactor
If you’re looking for a badass bag to express your geeky Iron Man love, this Stark Industries Messenger is exactly what you need. It even comes complete with an arc reactor! The bag is available at ThinkGeek, who offer the follow product description:
Some people would claim that this Mark XBody Armor is a step in the wrong direction. It doesn't fly. It does not come equipped with metal-slicing super lasers. It won't protect you against rampaging Hulks. However, it has pockets, a claim most Iron Man armor can't make.
This Marvel Stark Industries Messenger Backpack is the latest development in mobile computing. With a light-up Arc Reactor on the strap, it's just showy enough to get other people's attention (and envy). Mostly, it's practical, with an organizer under the messenger-bag-style flap and a massive 15" wide x 10" tall x 1 1/4" gusset laptop/tablet pouch inside. And if your device doesn't fit in there? That's okay. The main compartment also features padding on all sides, just not as much as the dedicated pouch, and it measures 20" wide x 12" tall x 6" deep at base. Boom. It's perfect for all the Genius Billionaire Playboy Philanthropists of either gender out there or those aspiring to be one.
The bag costs $99.99 and you can pick up one here.

LOCKE & KEY Is Going Back Into TV Development with Creator Joe Hill
Joe Hill’s Locke & Key has had a rough time trying to get adapted into both a TV series and a film franchise. Back in 2010 there was an attempt to get a Locke & Key series off the ground. Fox even produced a series pilot that premiered at Comic-Con in 2011, but it never got a series order. Then in 2014, a feature film trilogy was in development at Universal Pictures with Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci. Nothing happened with that either. Now there’s another attempt to develop a series and this time it’s through IDW Entertainment. Hill has come on board to write the pilot and be an executive producer of the series. When talking about the project, Hill said:
“I love this story. The seven years I spent working on Locke & Key was the happiest creative experience of my life and there still isn’t a day when I don’t think about those characters and miss visiting with them. The six books of the series are very like six seasons of a cable TV series and so it feels only natural to bring that world to the little screen and to see if we can’t scare the pants off viewers everywhere.”
Locke & Key tells the story of Nina Locke and her three children, Tyler, Kinsey, and Bode, who survive an unspeakable horror and attempt to rebuild their lives at Keyhouse, their family home in Lovecraft, Massachusetts. It is a mysterious New England mansion, with fantastic and transformative keys hidden inside its walls that are also being sought by a hate-filled and relentless creature with ties to the Locke family’s past who will stop at nothing to accomplish his sinister goals.
This is a great comic series, and hopefully, this time around something actually happens with it. It’s good to know that Hill and the publisher haven’t given up on trying to make this series happen.

Beautiful Poison Ivy and Catwoman Art by Josh Burns
Artist Josh Burns has created a couple of incredibly cool illustrations featuring two popular DC Comics femme fatales: Poison Ivy and Catwoman. I previously posted some of Burns' art for Voltron and Silverhawks, which you can check out here and here. As you can see, the guy has a beautiful art style, and I love what he’s done with these two DC characters.

LEGO-Style Braille Bricks Help Blind Children Learn To Read
I love coming across stuff like this: geeky things we love transformed into things that help make the world a better place. The Dorina Nowill Foundation For The Blind has teamed up with the Lew’Lara/TBWA agency to create Braille Bricks that look like LEGO blocks. They were created to help the visually-impaired learn to read and also have fun doing it at the same time. The bricks can also be used to help other kids learn Braille as well and foster more inclusion and play for everyone.
As of right now, there are 300 sets that have been made for the students of the Dorina Nowill Foundation. It was explained that these designs are distributed under Creative Commons Attribution-Share A like 4.0 International license, which means that it is free to share or adapt for any purpose.
It would be awesome to see LEGO jump on board and take this concept to the next level.

FRUIT NINJA IN REAL LIFE: PART II — Short Film
It’s been a long time since I’ve played Fruit Ninja on my phone. Do people still even play it anymore? That doesn’t matter to YouTube user ScottDW, who recently released a live-action Fruit Ninja short film called Fruit Ninja in Real Life: Part II. Yes, there was a Part I that he made in 2012. In case you haven’t seen that first one yet, I included it below for you to watch. If you like watching ninjas slicing up flying fruit, then you’ll enjoy these videos!

These Darth Vader-Themed Shoes Are Absurdly Insane
I don’t know what in the hell is up with these Darth Vader-themed Star Wars sneakers, but they are the most ridiculous shoes I think I’ve ever seen. I don’t understand what is happening with these things or who in their right mind would ever wear them.
The shoes come from Irregular Choice and it's their newest addition to their Star Wars shoe collection. These are the R-Series Vader trainers, and it looks like a glittery rainbow riding a unicorn barfed them out.

Fantastical Animated Sci-Fi Short BANDITO MACHINE V - PULL THE TRIGGER
Zumbakamera is the creator of a cool animated series called Bandito Machine and they’ve recently released the fifth installment of the series. It’s called Pull the Trigger, and this is the brief story summary:
“An exotic traveler from far away. An unexplored territory. A turbulent conflict. The storm will pass."
Just in case you haven’t seen the previously released films, I also included those as well. They’re all worth checking out. The team behind this series isn’t done developing them, so keep a look out for one more, which is said to be the grand finale of this series.

Unused CIVIL WAR Concept Art Features a Purple-Masked Baron Zemo
We’ve got a great piece of unused concept art for Captain America: Civil War that features a very different Baron Zemo than what we saw in the movie. The art was created by Marvel movie concept artist Andy Park, and as you can see, the design is much more inspired by the look of the character in the the comic books including his signature purple mask.
Personally, I liked how Zemo was presented in Civil War. The fact that he wasn’t wearing the costume made him a little bit more frightening because he just looked like a regular guy. You’d never know he was a villain. Who knows, though. Maybe somewhere down the line the character will return, and maybe next time he’ll be sporting this costume.

The First Official JAWS Costume Mask is Bloody Brutal
“Smile, you son of a bitch!”
This is the first officially-licensed shark mask for Steven Spielberg’s classic 1976 film Jaws, and it’s kind of terrifying.
This mask was designed and sculpted by Mikey Rottela, and it awesomely captures the shark's final scene in the movie. It includes the scuba tank that was shot to blow up the shark. You can also see part of Quint’s hand in its mouth.
Every detail of Bruce in the closing scene is captured in this amazing likeness, including the tank that Brody shoots and the remains of Quint's hand. This mask fits perfectly due to the foam filling on the inside, which lines your eyes perfectly with the eye cutouts in Bruce's mouth. So get yourself a Jaws Bruce The Shark Mask and be the ultimate land shark.
You can buy the mask here for $79.99.

Fantastically Enchanting New Trailer for THE BFG
“Hold your breath, cross your fingers, here we go.”
This weekend Steven Spielberg’s magical fantasy film The BFG premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. It was met with mixed reviews. Some people seemed to enjoy it, while others were disappointed with how it turned out. Many people are saying that it is a movie that kids will enjoy, but that it’s lacking that Spielberg magic that many of us were hoping to see.
A new trailer was released for the film, and it’s pretty damn wonderful! It’s full of magic and excitement, and it sure does make the movie look good! Of course, that’s what a movie trailer is supposed to do. It’s supposed to get people like me excited for the movie. As a fan of Spielberg and this book, of course I’m going to see the movie. I’m not going to let the bad reviews keep me away.
The BFG (Mark Rylance), while a giant himself, is a Big Friendly Giant and nothing like the other inhabitants of Giant Country. Standing 24-feet tall with enormous ears and a keen sense of smell, he is endearingly dim-witted and keeps to himself for the most part. Giants like Bloodbottler (Bill Hader) and Fleshlumpeater (Jemaine Clement) on the other hand, are twice as big and at least twice as scary and have been known to eat humans, while the BFG prefers Snozzcumber and Frobscottle. Upon her arrival in Giant Country, Sophie, a precocious 10-year-old girl from London, is initially frightened of the mysterious giant who has brought her to his cave, but soon comes to realize that the BFG is actually quite gentle and charming, and, having never met a giant before, has many questions. The BFG brings Sophie to Dream Country where he collects dreams and sends them to children, teaching her all about the magic and mystery of dreams. Having both been on their own in the world up until now, their affection for one another quickly grows, but Sophie’s presence in Giant Country has attracted the unwanted attention of the other giants, who have become increasingly more bothersome. Sophie and the BFG soon depart for London to see the Queen (Penelope Wilton) and warn her of the precarious giant situation, but they must first convince the Queen and her maid, Mary (Rebecca Hall), that giants do indeed exist. Together, they come up with a plan to get rid of the giants once and for all.
The BFG stomps into theaters on July 1st, 2016.

First Look at Channing Tatum on the Set of KINGSMAN: THE GOLDEN CIRCLE
If you've been following the news regarding Matthew Vaughn's Kingsman: The Golden Circle, then you know that Channing Tatum joined the project about a month ago. The sequel is currently shooting in London, and Tatum was spotted on set all decked out as a secret agent. He's got the suit, glasses, umbrella, and everything.
In the sequel, there's an attack on Kingsman HQ, and Eggsy and Merlin head to the United States to enlist the help from the Statesman, an American spy organization lead by a “swaggering, sharpshooting cowboy” named Jack Daniels played by Pedro Pascal and a woman named Ginger, who is being played by Halle Berry.
Taron Egerton will reprise his role as Eggsy with Mark Strong reprising the role of Merlin. The movie also stars Julianne Moore who is set to play the film’s central villain. It's also heavily teased that Collin Firth will be back to reprise his role, and Elton John is also in talks to make an appearance in some capacity.
The movie is set to be released on June 16th, 2017, and there's no doubt that it will be at least as entertaining as the first movie.

Jennifer Lawrence in Talks to Join the All Female OCEAN'S 11 Reboot
Earlier this year it was announced that Gary Ross would be developing an all-female reboot of Ocean's 11, and Sandra Bullock was already cast in the movie. Now it looks like she will be joined by Academy Award winner Jennifer Lawrence!
The Tracking Board reports that the actress is currently in talks to join the Warner Bros. film project. If the deal goes through, it would reunite Lawrence with Ross, who directed her in the first Hunger Games film. We also have some possible additional details on the story. The report says:
Apparently this new film will be a continuation of the George Clooney-led films, with Bullock playing Danny Ocean’s ex-con sister. With help from her right-hand woman (Lawrence, presumably taking the Brad Pitt slot), she’ll form a team of thieves to steal a necklace from the Met Ball in order to frame a villainous gallery owner.
I’m very open to this film as it was being developed by the late producer Jerry Weintraub, Steven Soderbergh, who directed the first two wonderful films, and Clooney. We also know that screenwriter Olivia Milch (Queen & Country, Little Women) has been working on the screenplay.
Shooting is expected to begin this fall, and I’m interested to see how this thing turns out. If cast, Lawrence will make a wonderful addition to this film.
