Ethan Hawke Witnessed Hit

Part of me is excited (can you imagine seeing someone get blown away) and part of me is somber (dude, can you imagine seeing someone get blown away). I guess I'm not sure how to feel...and from all reports neither did Ethan Hawke.

He was shooting in Brooklyn, NY for his upcoming film Brooklyn's Finest and decided to pop into a cafe with some of the crew to grab a bite to eat. Across the street 4 men in hoods gunned down 2 victims right before their eyes. According to Hawke:

"It's not even a joke... it was a full-blown assassination and they accidentally killed the guy cutting his hair - it was a woman cutting his hair. It was terrible. I stood there, like, an actor in a movie. I kept expecting the AD (assistant director) to go, 'Cut, cut...' The police shut the block down."

Lucky he wasn't hit. Personally, I think the guy is one of the finest actors working today and it would be a shame to lose him. Possible silver lining: he can draw emotion from this experience and use it in his latest film (cause I gotta be honest, it looks like a shitty Training Day II).

The Union (will take your organs)

In the upcoming (sure to be blockbuster) movie Repo Men, Jude Law and Forest Whitaker are charged with the task of taking back organs from people who purchased them and fell behind on the payments. Sick plot!

The company that sells these organs is called The Union and has released a series of commercials. Check em out here. This one for deodorant is my favorite.

(oh, by the way...if you purchase deodorant from Automated Man I promise no one will hunt you down to take it back)

In a World With No Rules

Bansky brings you: Exit Through the Gift Shop.

The world's first street art disaster movie.

Hit-Girl (I might throw up)

Yeah, Nick Cage has done it again by appearing in a movie that actually makes me want to vomit it looks so effing terrible. Its called Kick-Ass and features Hit-Girl.

I guess you can head on over to the totally awesome website for details...ya know, when it actually launches. They will be calling it "iamhitgirl.com" so be sure to keep an eye out for that.

Or simply throw up all over the trailer here.


I'm not sure who the creators are targeting. With lines like "I'm just fucking with you daddy" I can only assume this isn't made for kids. But what grown man would actually watch a movie about a purple-haired pre-pubescent assassin girl???

Dude...Iron Man 2 Trailer

This is so sick. The first Iron Man rocked every other comic-made-into-movie ever produced. Now Tony Stark and crew are back for round 2...and the cast is epic!

Iron Man 2: Robert Downey Jr, Scarlett Johansson, Mickey Rourke, Sam Rockwell, Samuel Jackson, Jon Favreau, Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, etc etc etc...fucking epic.

There is a LOT more armor in this one and the villain rocks. Images and trailer below...

Alice In Wonderland

I don't know if you ever saw Return To OZ...but it was pretty fucked up. It was the story of Dorothy returning to the land of OZ many years later only to find out that things were not quite the same (and by that I mean totally evil crazy).

Well, from the twisted mind of Tim Burton comes a re-imagining of the classic story Alice In Wonderland. In this story 19-year-old Alice returns to the magical world from her childhood adventure, where she reunites with her old friends and learns of her true destiny: to end the Red Queen's reign of terror.

Of course, being a Tim Burton production all the usual suspects are present: Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen, Anne Hathaway as the White Queen and featuring Mia Wasikowska as Alice.

Go check it, March 2010.

The trailer is pretty sick:
