Dark Knight Rises

I'm not sure what the purpose is for this picture and others. Perhaps merchandise artwork that will show up on a McDonald's plastic drink cup? It looks cool though.For more pictures: http://forums.superherohype.com/showpost.php?p=23040241&postcount=533

Star Wars AT-AT walker model that can walk

It's a Youtube video by a Brazilian scale model maker. It looks like he took a Star Wars scale plastic model kit and motorized it so it can walk in a realistic fashion reminiscent of the awesome Empire Strikes Back scene when the AT-T walker and its two-legged counterpart, AT-ST, starts to attack the Rebel stronghold on the icy planet of Hoth.

First Image of Henry Cavill as Superman in ‘Man of Steel’

Looks cool. Click the picture to see a larger version. Nice detail. I still like Brandon Routh. He was the spitting image of Christopher Reeves. Henry looks a bit more stocky and his face is a bit too squarish. Where's the famous hair swirl? The cape looks really long in the photo.

This is Zack Snyder's reboot. He did "300" which was based on Frank Miller's comic book about the Spartan defense against the Persians. Snyder also directed "Watchmen," which is a classic graphic novel written by Alan Moore. It was very faithful to the comic book in the visuals and the characters' look. "Sucker Punch" was a horrible movie. Very odd it was that bad.

Here's another shot from Warner Bros. website for Dark Knight Rises

It has some sort of nozzles for thrust.

Check out the photo set. I don't see any wires so I can't figure out how the bat cycle is moving. Another website says it's a stunt double on the bat bike:

Cosmonaut Crashed Into Earth 'Crying In Rage'

It's a tragic story of loyalty, friendship, and fatalism. It's a true story of a Russian Cosmonaut who flew a doomed mission and died while his spaceship crashed back to earth. Read it for yourself. It's an amazing story. There's even a sound clip of his last words as his spaceship starts to burn up.

by Robert Krulwich

So there's a cosmonaut up in space, circling the globe, convinced he will never make it back to Earth; he's on the phone with Alexei Kosygin — then a high official of the Soviet Union — who is crying because he, too, thinks the cosmonaut will die.

3D Street Artist - Kurt Wenner

Kurt Wenner is an amazing artist with a speciality in 3D street art.
Kurt has figured out the mathematics so if you stand at a specific vantage point, his street art appears as three dimensional. In the photo above, he's working on the artwork to the left, and there's a lovely model posing on a 2D "sofa." Pretty amazing. Click on the picture to enlarge.
