Viral ‘Wreck-It-Ralph’ Marketing - Retro Commercial

Viral ‘Wreck-It-Ralph’ Marketing - Retro Commercial

I love this sort of marketing. The first time I really felt like it was used to great effect was with Toy Story 3. You might remember the retro Lots-o’-Huggin’ Bear Commercial. That’s just really good marketing in my opinion.

Well, they’re at the same sort of stuff with Wreck-It-Ralph, and it’s brilliant. In this commercial we get to see more of the Sugar Rush game, which seems to be quite a bit more than inspired by Mario Kart, with a whole bunch of Candy Land daubed on top.

Check it out:

 

Agent Coulson LIVES!

Agent Coulson LIVES!
Marvel

The actor made a surprise appearance at the panel to talk about his role as Principal Coulson on “Ultimate Spider-Man” before playing a special video from “Marvel’s The Avengers” Director Joss Whedon and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, announcing Gregg’s return to the role of Agent Coulson in the upcoming pilot. Whedon will also co-write the pilot to “Marvel’s S.H.I.E.L.D.” with Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen.

This reminds me a lot of Angel. Yes really. Warning, SPOILER FOR Buffy and Angel ahead if by some chance you haven’t seen the shows yet.

Angel was killed at the end of…

‘Looper’ Commentary Track for Theaters

‘Looper’ Commentary Track for Theaters
CNet

In a Tumblr post on October 5, Johnson, who also directed the AMC TV show “Breaking Bad,” provides a downloadable MP3 file to be played during the movie. In the post, Johnson also recommends that the version of the commentary that cinemagoers would enjoy will be different from the one on the upcoming DVD or Blu-rays.

He also encourages good theater etiquette by asking those listening to the commentary to hide the “glowing screens” of their media players (or smartphones) while the movie is playing.

This is a really fascinating idea, and one I’m not sure I would have thought of on my…

Stewart Shows How to Beat Super Mario Bros

Stewart Shows How to Beat Super Mario Bros
All Thumbs Gaming

ATG’s very own ‘Art’ shows us how to beat Super Mario Bros. fast.  No mods. No hacks. No cheats. Just pure vanilla Super Mario Bros. completed in less than 9 minutes using warp zones. Played using the “All-Stars” version of the game, which has improved 16-bit graphics and audio.

I know this is not strictly related to movies — I can’t even find an excuse of a relationship. But I wanted to share this because we had a special guest on the podcast which we recorded last night and which we will be releasing a little later today. This is from our friend Stewart Adams, formerly one of the…

Watch Pixar’s ‘Partysaurus Rex’

Watch Pixar’s ‘Partysaurus Rex’
/Film

The latest Toy Story short, Partysaurus Rex, premiered recently in front of the 3D re-release of Finding Nemo, and just showed up on television this week, thanks to the Disney Channel. The short gives Rex the dinosaur a brief starring role, as he turns into an unlikely party maven when left alone with a new group of toys. Now you can watch the short online.


Partysaurus Rex on Disney Video

Disney is revving up the short films once again. I believe it is the influence of Pixar rubbing off on them, what with the short films Pixar produced since the beginnings of their studio.

More Horribleness! ‘Dr. Horrible 2’ Could Film Next Year

More Horribleness! ‘Dr. Horrible 2’ Could Film Next Year
io9

We may not have to wait too much longer for more Dr. Horrible — rumor has it the script for the sequel could be done by the end of this year. Which means Neil Patrick Harris might be putting on his evil goggles one more time in 2013!

Dr. Horrible SPOILER ALERT:

Kind of cool, but I’m trying to figure out how Dr. Horrible would be any good without Felcia Day. And seeing how her character died… or maybe Dr. Horrible can bring her back to life. Or maybe flash backs? Who knows.

With Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog airing tonight on The CW, it seemed like an appropriate time to post this teaser trailer from four years ago.

I mean it’s just good fun.

 

Disney’s Original 1994 ‘Looper’ Trailer

Disney’s Original 1994 ‘Looper’ Trailer

Did you know Looper is a remake? Our friend at Carpe Seizure made sure we did. Truthfully speaking, what if Looper (2012) were based after a sad Disney movie of the 90s? I think we all would still enjoy it.

In case you wonder, this is a young Joseph Gordon-Levitt from Angels in the Outfield (1994) in the following video. Most people don’t remember seeing Joseph before Inception, yet his career started early in life. 

Here’s the full details about the Screen Junkies video from YouTube:

Did you know Rian Johnson’s Looper (2012) is actually a remake?? In this installment of SuperCuts…
