Palestinians Dress Up As Avatar’s Na’vi To Protest Israel, Get Tear Gassed

Palestinian protesters have added a colorful twist to demonstrations against Israel’s separation barrier, painting themselves blue and posing as characters from the hit film “Avatar.”
The demonstrators also donned long hair and loincloths Friday for the weekly protest against the barrier near the village of Bilin.
They equated their struggle to the intergalactic one portrayed in the film.

The video not only has protestors dressed as Na’vi but also tear gas being lobbed at them. Shocking.

Nolan to “Oversee” New Superman films?

Wow. Intriguing.

”It’s a bird, it’s a plane ... it’s Warner Bros. asking Christopher Nolan to pretty please resurrect their Superman franchise and do something cool with it! According to Deadline Hollywood, Nolan has been asked to come in and sort of “mentor” the next Superman movie, and it won’t be a sequel to Superman Returns, but instead the beginning of a brand new franchise. “

Read the whole deal here.

I think they should just do some sort of adaptation of Grant Morrison’s “All Star Superman” which does the best job of capturing the spirit and fun of Superman.

Oooh La La! Super Sexy Serge Gainsbourg Trailer

This trailer for the new biopic about Serge Gainsbourg is without subtitles but you can still see it captures the sexiness of all things Serge. I love the scenes with Frances Gall. So cool. Eric Elmosnino’s resemblance to Gainsbourg is uncanny. Director Joann Sfar has a fascinating career as he is also a well known graphic novelist, writing and drawings works such as The Rabbi’s Cat and Little Vampire.

Hat tip, beatcrave.

Serge Gainsbourg, vie héroïque hits theaters next year, courtesy of Focus Features.
