The Long Awaited R2D2 - Iron Man Crossover

Here’s an Iron Man-ified version of R2D2, complete with glowing chest arc reactor.  Read this quickly, because we're taking it down before George Lucas sees it and actually green lights the idea for whatever shitty way he's working on to ruin Star Wars today.

Will Green Lantern's Blake Lively Be Appearing in Playboy?

The National Enquirer claims Gossip Girl star Blake Lively wants to drop her teenybopper image … by dropping her pants and everything else for Playboy.

Praise Lord Darkseid, gfest sure hopes this is true. The Enquirer says Blake is asking a whopping $2.5 million to bare all for the mag.

The 22-year-old started to consider posing nude after making the movie The Private Lives of Pippa Lee. She sort of had a creepy nude scene in that.

OK, we've never even heard of that movie, but let's all take a gfest break and go buy that movie HERE.

“Playboy had already been calling her. She figures a Playboy spread now will really give her career some heat,” a source said, noting that her family is divided.

Batman Year One Animated Movie is Coming!

According to Comics Continuum, "Batman: Year One" is being adapted as one of Warner Home Video's DC Universe animated movies. Sam Liu was cited as the director of the project, who also directed Hulk Vs., "Planet Hulk," "Superman/Batman: Public Enemies" and co-directed "Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths."

Bruce Timm earlier this year hinted that we would be seeing more of the animated films featuring Batman and Superman because sales of Wonder Woman and Green Lantern First Flight were a bit underwhelming.  An adaptation of "Batman: Under The Red Hood" is already slated to be the next DC animated movie.

"Batman: Year One" was published by DC Comics in 1987. The story took place in the early days of Batman's career.  The story is considered one of the most influential Batman stories ever, with "Batman: The Long Halloween" serving as an unofficial sequel.

Smokin Rosie Huntington-Whiteley on Set of T-3

Lastly, JustJared has posted this image of Victoria's Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley between takes on the T-3 set. 

As if you didn't know that Rosie is the newest addition to the film's cast, as she is filling the gap left my Megan Fox's departure from the franchise. 

On another less sexy note, apparently Michael Bay was rebuffed by officials in Washington, DC  and T-3 may not shoot in the nations capitol.  To read Dreamworks statement as to why this may occur click READ MORE

New Live Action Mortal Kombat Trailer Hits YouTube

This video from what could be the next Mortal Kombat game or movie trailer is brutal, disgusting, and pretty cool.

The video features a very realistic take on the Mortal Kombat franchise that looks more like a horror movie than the average campy video game adaptations we've all grown to hate.

Problem is that no one seems to know exactly what this footage is.  It might be a movie trailer, or possibly a new video game trailer. 

Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon has indicated that the next game in the series would be shooting for an M rating. "People want an M-rated MK....dammit we will give them an M-rated MK." This would surely do the trick.

What $30,000 Puzzle Could Stump Lex Luthor, Tony Stark & Bruce Wayne?

Even the Calculator, Mr. Terrific, Oracle, Ray Palmer, Reed Richards, and Charles Xavier would have a hard time mastering this beauty. 

The Superplexus, a three-dimensional puzzle guaranteed to test every last iota of your spatial dexterity, hand-eye coordination, and patience. Wallet too.

This is the three-dimensional spherical labyrinth that challenges the limits of your manual dexterity and spatial understanding as you maneuver a 5/8" wooden marble through its entire 330 feet course. 

The track is hand-made from Finnish birch and takes over 400 hours to construct and costs a mere $30,000.

Preview: Joker's Asylum: Harley Quinn #1

Top creators lend their talents to a new installment of The Joker's Asylum – a special month-long, weekly series of one-shots starring the greatest villains in Batman's rogues gallery.

Each issue is narrated by The Joker and tells a special stand-alone story that gives readers an inside look into the insane lives of The Dark Knight's greatest adversaries! This batch of tense tales spotlights The Riddler, Harley Quinn, Mad Hatter, Clayface and Killer Croc! Can you stand the madness?!

Typically, Gfest is skeptical of these type of single issue books because they're normally not very good, but we love Harley Quinn so we're crossing our fingers.  

Here is a special sneak peak of Joker's Asylum: Harley Quinn #1 courtesy of CBR.  Click Read More to see all six pages of the preview.

BP Failed Apology Ad Campaigns

Recently, BP began running a TV Commercial with CEO Tony Hayward apoloizing for the Gulf Oil spill.  For those of you who like to waste your time, that commercial can be seen here:



The more interesting story however, is what ad campaigns BP was considering before settling on that moving CEO apology.  The rejected ad campaigns begin here:

Top 5 Wonder Woman Bondage Comic Book Style Pictures

The love affair between the bondage world and Wonder Woman continues.  That lasso certainly does seem to hold some magical power over the world of man.  So far, gfest has profiled the Top 5 Wonder Woman Bondage Pencil Sketch Pictures, and the Top 5 Wonder Woman Computer Generated Bondage Graphics.  In the next installment, we return to the Amazon's comic book and cartoon roots.

1. She'll probably kill him for doing this, but at least he'll die happy

2. It's Wonder Woman and Black Canary together at a Tea Party.  Is that Sarah Palin there too?

3.  Poison Ivy using vines for the bondage ropes.  That's a clever touch.

 

4. Batgirl is actually whipping her hard enough to leave marks on her hips.

5. Throwing in a little tickle while bound.  Classic move.

The Secret Story Behind What Really Happened in Super Mario Revealed

Gfest loves funny cartoons.  Especially cartoons featuring our favorite Nintendo Characters.  We stumbled upon this cartoon by Steve Napierski at duelinganalogos.  Once we read it and stopped laughing we knew we had to share with our Gfest friends.

All those hours spent playing Super Mario Brothers would been much shorter and a heel of a lot easier if we could have just said, "Too F'n Bad, Princess"

First Look: Teaser Page to Batman #700

Hot Damn Gfest loves Batman (the real Batman, Bruce Wayne) and this month DC’s ongoing Batman title hits a major and rare milestone: 700 issues.

According to the Source, all this week, they'll be taking readers into the pages of the amazing BATMAN #700, featuring a story by innovative and kinetic writer Grant Morrison and an all-star cast of artists that include Frank Quitely, David Finch, Andy Kubert, Tony Daniel and more.

The story, which touches on every aspect and era of Batman is the perfect centerpiece for an issue that celebrates the past, present and future adventures of the Dark Knight.

Gfest Game - Bitching A Classic - Round 2

Bitching A Classic is a fun little game gfesters love to play, because it celebrates to extreme negativity of many comic book fans. We give you little snippets from ridiculously negative customer reviews on Amazon of highly regarded classics. You see if you can guess the book.
Today's Clues:

• It was so long and wordy I gave up after the 5th chapter. I had a hard time finding it entertaining or following the plot.
• I consider almost everything about the story an abomination. Most of the blood-splattering, scenery-chewing, plotless nihilism that defined superhero comics from the late 80's to the late 90's can ultimately be traced back to this story.
• A lame villain and pointless revisionism make this story not worthwhile.
• Without a doubt this is the biggest piece of crap I have ever read. I couldn't get past the 2nd or 3rd chapter. Long, overly involved, overly complex, and just plain old stupid.
• Read only if looking for simultaneous cures for insomnia and sanity. This was nothing more than a waste of my time and brain-space.  
• A nearly 400-page string of countless deaths. My first reaction to it, in fact, was horror... it's much more of a horror story than a "fun" story.

Super Heroic Minimalism T-Shirt is Anything but Minimal

All of you know by now that Gfest loves cool, unique and entertaining t-shirts.  In fact, we own more t-shirts than Kendra has sex tapes. 

One of our favorite online destinations to purchase unique, humorous, beautifully designed t-shirts is Threadless.

Recently we stumbled upon this beautifully creative t-shirt entitled 'Super Heroic Minimalism.'

This design by biotwist is damn clever and just plain cool.

If we can figure out how, by time you read this post, Gfest will own this ultra-hip comic t-shirt.

New Green Lantern Promo Art - Hal Jordan In Wonder Woman Out

As all good comic readers know, the original Trinity was composed of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.  In fact, numerous books and series have been dedicated to the 'Trinity' composed of the 'Big' three.

Well apparently, Wonder Woman isn't pulling her weight (or revenue) because as you can see by the poster below, which places Green Lantern at the center of the DC superhero universe, Warner Brothers is obviously hoping that the picture will help move a lot of swag.

Green Lantern is due to hit theaters on June 17, 2011.

I don't like it but tell Gfest what you think?

Awesome Star Wars Senior Prank at Minnesota College

Now here’s a college that’s truly preparing its students for success. A group of students at Carlton College in Minnesota took pranking to a new level – some might say they took it to intergalactic levels.

The students gave the school’s observatory a new look by draping the building's dome in a huge R2D2 made from sheets and cardboard. Gfest would immediately hire anyone involved with this awesome prank. Well done.

NEW HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS TRAILER (Part 1)

Last night during the MTV Awards, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Trailer (part I)" debuted.  Gfest is very excited to watch part one of the seventh book movie adaption which opens on November 19, 2010.  The final Harry Potter movie, Part two of "Deathly Hallows", will open on July 15, 2011.

We will have to wait to determine how the movie is split into two parts.  Hopefully, David Yates and the rest of the folks involved in the movie will leave us with a pretty good cliffhanger between part one and two.  It's been a while since the final book was released and nearly nine months between the two movies might make a two-part film difficult. 

Gfest doesn't care we will be viewing both films and excited to do so (and not just because Emma Watson is in them, but that's part of it).  Enjoy the new trailer below.
