Never Not A Nerd

Here’s your new Spider-Man for the reboot set to hit theaters July 3rd, 2012. His name is Andrew Garfield and I can’t say I remember seeing him in anything. I can’t really complain about his age, because he’s only a month older than Donald Glover (they’re both 26). I think out of all the people they said auditioned Josh Hutcherson might have been the most age appropriate, but hey whatever.  We’re going to have to wait 2 years to see how this turns out anyway.

That’s exactly what I think of when I see this image of the new Wonder Woman costume.  It looks like they’ve redone her look so she can be more everyday appropriate, but still ‘hip’.

I can’t tell where her shoes end and her pants begin. I also hope for her sake that there isn’t a strong gust of wind at lower-back height.

Check out Jim Lee’s explanation of what is going on here, and an image of her in action in the new costume under the cut.

The art in this is so AWESOME that I need to show everyone some of it. Buy this issue if only to stare at the rest of the pages.  Check below for the official Marvel synopsis and the images. (I wonder if that cover has “Anniversary” spelled wrong on purpose)

It’s Street Fighter’s Blanka, or Sir Blanka Esq. He may live in the Brazilian rainforest, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t sophisticated.

Check out the books behind him. They include “Holy Crap”, “Electricity” & “If I Did It” (nice OJ Simpson joke).

Not just a Tron Lightcycle, but one that runs and is street-legal. You’re just going to need around 35K to do so. But hey, if I had it I’d do it. How awesome would that be?

The bike will be custom built based on what you want including a choice between either a high-powered electric or gas-powered motor. Go here for the listing and more info

Whoa, I read the first issue of this and haven’t caught up with it since, but the synopsis makes it sound pretty insane. Check out that ‘synopsis’ and some preview images under the cut.

Didier Drogba, Fabio Cannavaro, Wayne Rooney, Franck Ribéry, Ronaldinho, and Cristiano Ronaldo are all the players featured in this video.  As of about an hour ago every one of them has punched their ticket home(if they even made it to South Africa). Didier Drogba and the Ivory Coast didn’t make it out of their group, thought they weren’t expected to. Fabio Cannavaro’s Italy was embarrassed by not winning a single game in the group stage as the defending champs and drawing with New Zealand! Wayne Rooney embarrassed himself by being the ‘main’ striker for his team and not scoring a single goal. England went out in the round of 16 against Germany. Franck Ribéry’s France lost to South Africa and Mexico on the way to finishing dead last in their group, a massive disappointment. Brazil’s Ronaldinho didn’t even make his national team for this World Cup. Cristiano Ronaldo probably fared the best. His Portuguese team just went out to Spain with a respectable 1-0 loss.

Can you blame Nike for including these ‘stars’ of the national teams? Or does Adidas have the better stars (Argentina’s Lionel Messi and Spain’s David Villa)?

Check out the video below.

“F**k it dude, let’s go bowling.” If you don’t like The Big Lebowksi I don’t know if we can be friends. It’s one of the greatest comedies of all time. This design is great and you can vote for it to become a shirt here.

Check below for the ‘runner-up’

If you pay close attention to our updates you probably remember the ‘announcement trailer’ for this being posted here before. Well, here is the first real trailer and it’s really good. It actually bums me out that this movie doesn’t come out until next March.

Is anyone else reminded of the scene with the giant lizards at the bar in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by the poster for this movie?
