Speaking of Harvey Dent (as I did at length in that last post), Christopher Nolan confirmed the bifurcated one for 'The Dark Knight.' He's being coy about casting, which ohpleaseohpleaseohplease make that mean it won't be Bratty McJuniorUsestheForce.

The poster for Ghost Rider is REDONKULOUS (scroll down for the awful stupidness of this poster). Ghost Rider is pretty iconic for one thing in particular: HIS FLAMING SKULL. What is most prominent? Nicolas Cage's ugly mug and Eve Mendes doing her trademark "sexy" (i.e. annoyed) look. And there's the bike. Bike looks great. Couldn't the poster have just been the bike? The tag line is as retarded as all get out. Fantastic, have fun sucking.

And, finally, proof that superherohype has sold out entire to sponsors: They billeted this website as part of a Transformers live action movie promo. It's fucking ad for a bunch of fucking trucks. Fucking. Hell (side note: fucking). Because the fucking trucks transform from ye olde flat bed truck into ye giante SUV truck (fucking funny as all get though is the fact that they go to great lengths to show how much the truck shape changed over decades and then the last transform changes...almost nothing).

The nominal tie-in is that GM trucks will be littered throughout the movie, so they're advertising, tie-in-ing, whatever (who pays who when a company has its product in a movie but the movie gets advertising from the car company? Circles!). Fucking fuck. This means that Bumblebee's gonna be a fucking Aveo instead of a VW Bug, isn't it? Or are all the car manufacturers in on this scam? Back in the day, y'all, I bet they didn't even have laws for suing the cartoon makes for making Bumblebee a Bug, but now, now they can make money off of it.

But I'd say, "Sign me up for a Chevy!" before I'd consent to the RETARDED FLAME DECALS I saw they wanted to put on Optimus Prime. It's FUCKING OPTIMUS PRIME, YOU MEATSLAPPERS!!! He's badass because...because he's Optimus FUCKING Prime. He turns into A GIANT FUCKING TRUCK. He contains the universe or whatever that thing from The Transformers Movie was in his chest. The entirety of the good robot race thinks he's more awesomer than George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln rolled (out!) into one. GAHHH!!!

Augh, Ghost Rider. Made by the same man who so widely swung and missed with my beloved Daredevil. I am thoroughly unsurprised by the trailer(s) and poster. *facepalm*

But that Nolan confirmation excites me so much, d00d. Now - casting, CASTING. I am going to eat myself waiting.
