Michael Keaton has wings
In Birdman
Coming from the director of the death series (Babel, Amores Perros and 21 Grams), Alejandro González Irritanu, Birdman is dark comedy take on the superhero flick. With Michael Keaton talking to himself in a back lit mirror and fellow stars Emma Stone and Edward Norton I imagine a Spiderman meets Fight Club meets Black Swan epic, feathered wings intact.

The Spongebob Squarepants Movie: Sponge Out of Water
This 3D live action/ CGI version will more than likely destroy the idiocy of yellow character who lives in a pineapple under the sea with the pet snail. If the trailer narration and spin class jokes are any indication it will forever ruin any joy that the little yellow man created.

Morrissey's job description of a bodyguard
Morrissey was accused of asking his bodyguard to ‘hurt’ one of his fans behind the website morissey-solo.com. The singer, allegedly, fired his bodyguard for his unwillingness to provide the address of the fan and carry out what may, or may not have been violence against said fan. What is obvious is that Morrissey does not understand the difference between employing someone to protect and employing someone to ‘hurt’. Though it could be that Morrissey fired his bodyguard to make a statement on the right of self defense. Or whether online fanning is actually a form of abuse.

David Guetta
Makes this face for one and half minutes during his DJ set at Belgium’s Tomorrowland. You need to watch the video with sound for the full effect. The horns are stifling.
The new poster for Quentin Tarantinos Hateful Eight
Features six horses. The poster for the flick confirms his comic-con confirmation from last week that he will go ahead with the film despite his anger at the leak of a few script pages.

Arthur's theme revived
The eight seasons long PBS series about a young bear, his pup Pal and his irritating sister, DW, has had a post-conclusion musical revival with Chance the Rapper’s cover of the opening theme.
The Chicago hip hop artist took on the anthem for eleven-year-olds in the mid-nineties with the likes of Jessie Ware, Wyclef Jean, Elle Varner, and Frances & the Lights. In a cooing and cinematically climatic version of the original, performed by Ziggy Marley, Chance’s version is sentimental and nostalgic for the pre(?)millennial generation.
But this is not the first high profile cover the theme song has had. The Backstreet Boys took on the reggae sounds of the theme in this identical reenactment of the Ziggy Marley original. Have a listen it is boring and unoriginal. But you get to see Nick Carter’s face in this video. *swoon*
If you watched the cartoon (or used your younger sibling/ babysitting days as a reason to watch the cartoon) you may remember the episode, where DW, as the annoying younger sibling, listened to the Crazy Bus song hundreds of times.
Well feast your ears on this Yo-Yo-Ma featured track of the absolutely bazalooey version of song.
Arthur, who new the little bear would become the most covered mid-nineties cartoon opening song. Personally, I await the Magic Bus theme revival. Oh Mizz Frizz.

The Orlando Bloom, Justin Bieber and Miranda Kerr EXPLAINED
What do Legolas, a Victoria’s Secret model and a post-teen pop prince all have to do with one another. Well, let me tell you. Or rather, show you.
This.
Plus this.
Equals this.
It also equals, according to Justin Bieber’s Instagram account, this.
While I could talk about the juvenile nature of such a retaliation to a brief altercation in a restaurant between Justin Bieber and Orlando Bloom last night allegedly over Miranda Kerr but that would entail interest in the issue. Posting three GIFs is as far as interest in this issue will should go.

It's a battle of voices in the new Interstellar trailer
Thrilled about the new Christopher Nolan epic? Stoked by the black hole and alien landscape the horizon of the moon? Want to see if Anne Hathaway looks better in a space suit then Sandra Bullock did? Wondering if the music will be as memorable and chest throbbing as Inception?
Turn off your video, ignore the background twangs and listen to the voices. Imagine you are sitting on the floor in a dark room, you can feel other bodies around you but you can not see them and as your listening senses intensify you hear the exhales of everyone around you. And Mathew McConaughey’s voice begins...
But it isn’t just McConaughey’s voice, Michael Caine is there too. Battling against one another as the perfection in American and British vocals face off.
Both have created some rather high profile impersonations.
Michael Caine’s age meant that there was a need for a historical overview of his voice through the ages.
Also that senility (AKA a lack of giving a monkey) led him to impersonating himself.
But none is so intoxicating as Matthew McConaughey’s chest-thumping chant in the Wolf of Wall Street. Much like a yogic ohm, it’s a reverberation that can induce a meditative state in even the most hyperactive of humans. Should you wish to have a zen Thursday, begin your morning with this ten-hour version of it. You will go home rejuvenated. Zestfully clean.
