Two Big Movie Announcements

(both via io9.com)

First up, expect 2 more installments of your favorite, blue, catpeople of Avatar. James Cameron announces that sequels to be released in December 2014, and the 3rd part a year later. I expect much hyping over the next 4 years...

Also news today is the name of the next Batman installment from Christopher Nolan. And the winner is......... The Dark Knight Rises. Oh, and absolutely NO Riddler in this film. So there!

I'm loving that the interweb is already buzzing about the suggestive nature of the movie title, and if Catwoman (or other female lead) appears in this one, much mocking will ensue. And as io9 suggests, yes, please Mr. Nolan, feel free to cast Joseph Gordon-Levitt!

The Na'vi of Hometree Wisconsin

(h/t to Laughing Squid)

If you've seen Avatar, or followed most of the hype around it, you'll appreciate this YouTube video. It is fantastic! I love the plastic flowers and toilet paper in the trees. Very "natural."

Seeing this short made me really excited for Comic-Con this year; I can't wait to see all the Na'vi at the convention. The last few years pirates & steampunkers have been the new favorite costumes, but I think this year, we'll see a strong showing of Na'vi. Only 5 more months to go...
