‘The Batman Complex’ Is My Favorite Movie Never Made
The Internet is a magical place, evidence #6930875379046c —
Themanbatman is one of those glorious online fan producers dedicated to “visual creative writing” by chopping up other movies and media to create new narratives. As the name suggests, many of them are in some way related to Batman. In February, “The Batman Complex - Teaser Trailer” hit YouTube, and now the full-length trailer has started making the rounds.
“The Batman Complex” reorganizes several Christopher Nolan films (plus a few other movies on Christian Bale’s resume) and ends up with this perfect Megazord psychodrama experience. If this had been a real full-length feature film, then “The Batman Complex” would be the only movie I’d ever watch for the rest of my life, forever and ever, amen.
Trailer for ‘The Social Network’ as a Comedy
Speaking of The Social Network, I’m really glad a friend of mine just showed me this remix trailer for the movie. What if the movie about Facebook had been summer comedy?
Andre 3000 on Ke$ha’s “Sleazy” Remix is Like Methadone
I was talking about the movie Four Brothers last night, then heard John Legend’s “Green Light” for the first time in a couple days ago, end up singing “Hey Ya” while getting dressed this morning, and all of these things made me wonder: where is Andre 3000? To be fair, I wonder this about once a month, because dude is overdue for a new album. Big Boi’s dropped some records, but there’s really only so many times I can listen to The Love Below before I start to feel a little tired of — I can’t even finish this sentence, because that’s a lie. I can listen to The Love Below a million times and be satisfied, but I still want new music.
For now, what we have from earlier this month is a Ke$ha remix:
Sleazy (Remix) - Ke$ha feat. André 3000 by HDMI44
“Sleazy” is the track I like the least on her EP, Cannibal, but the beat knocks just enough. Now Andre 3000’s verse at the top gives it a new swagger, reminding me yet again that there’s a dearth of Ice Cold in my musical life, stagnating at a mediocre level of coolness, since we all know there’s only one thing cooler.
