Director Curtis Hanson Dies At 71

And another one goes...

Reports just came in that "L.A. Confidential" director Curtis Hanson has passed away at the age of 71 at his Hollywood Hills home. He's been retired for quite a while now but he gave us films like "8 Mile" (winning Eminem an Oscar), "Wonder Boys", "The River Wild" and, of course, the one we all know and love: "L.A. Confidential", which is one of my all-time favorite movies. Although not a household name, Hanson's filmography is filled with impressive and very underrated work. His legacy will continue to live on as "L.A. Confidential" will forever remain in the National Film Registry of the United States Library of Congress for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

May you rest in peace, Curtis Hanson.

Zack Snyder Reveals New Batsuit from "Justice League"

Homestretch.

Today, Zack Snyder tweeted out this image of Ben Affleck in an all-new tactical Batsuit that will be featured in "Justice League" next year. This new design looks to be a beautiful combination of the Nite Owll II costume (the goggles and the shape of the cowl) from Zack Snyder's own "Watchmen" along with tactical suits featured in the "Batman Arkham" video games. The context in which Batman uses this suit for is still unknown but, just by looking at this beautiful picture, we can say that this is one greatly designed suit.

What do you think of this new Batsuit?

Star Trek: 50th Anniversary

"Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before."

50 years ago on this day, "Star Trek" debuted on televisions nationwide and would eventually become a cultural phenomenon. "Star Trek", without a doubt, is the definitive science fiction franchise with its plethora of memorable and beloved characters, now iconic actors, a great theme song and cheesy yet classic 1960's special effects. Gene Roddenberry along with the great cast he assembled (including William Shatner, the late Leonard Nimoy, George Takei) have created something truly special. Something that will last forever. Something that will continue forever.

Today, let us celebrate 50 years of "Star Trek". Live long and prosper.
