The Dark Knight Rises News

I wanna start this post off by saying "Fuck the NBA's greedy overpaid asses." What happened to love of the game? More like "Love of the money."

Now going back to the regular post pertaining to the last chapter in the Christopher Nolan Batman saga............

The third film coming out next summer is titled The Dark Knight Rises which is the last in the Batman series directed by Nolan. Christian Bale said that this is the last time that he will rock the cape crusaders costume if y'all fools don't believe me read the quote below.

"I believe that the whole production wrapped yesterday, so it's all done. Everything's finished. It's me and Chris – that will be the end of that Batman era."

I think its best to go out with a bang instead of eventually giving Batman nipples on his suit and a cock piece like some other jizz collectors named Joel Schumacher. Nolan confirms that this is not only going to be the end of the franchise but its also going to be fucking epic.

"It's really all about finishing Batman and Bruce Wayne's story," he told Empire Magazine. "We left him in a very precarious place.

"Perhaps surprisingly for some people, our story picks up quite a bit later, eight years after The Dark Knight. So he's an older Bruce Wayne; he's not in a great state."



Everyone who has seen The Dark Knight knows that Joker fucked shit up so hard for Bats that my man had to go into hiding to save Gotham Citys punk asses so it makes sense that Bats needed time for himself to think over some things like dressing up as a damn Bat and fighting crime. Real talk yall. The best part of TDKR is the villain Bane played by the English(does anyone else find it strange that the whole motherfucking cast of an American iconic comic are all played by foreigners? The US needs to step up its talent game) actor Tom Hardy. Hardy says this about Bane which makes me feel better about myself knowing that Im always right and should keep going with my gut because this fool will straight up Curb stomp fools.

“He’s brutal. Brutal. He’s a big dude who’s incredibly clinical, in the fact that he has a result-based and oriented fighting style. It’s not about fighting. It’s about carnage. The style is heavy-handed, heavy-footed, it’s nasty. Anything from small-joint manipulation to crushing skulls, crushing rib cages, stamping on shins and knees and necks and collarbones and snapping heads off and tearing his fists through chests, ripping out spinal columns. He is a terrorist in mentality as well as brutal action.”

The costume designer had this to say about el Baneo

“He was injured early in his story. He’s suffering from pain and needs gas to survive. He can’t survive the pain without the mask. The pipes from the mask go back along his jawline and feed into the thing at his back, where there are two canisters.”

So the overall impression about Bane is that hell beat your ass into next Tuesday.

This film can not come out soon enough but you can catch the Six min teaser trailer during the Mission Impossible film this month. Im gonna go see the film not only for that reason but also because my brothers and I always see a shit film for the Holidays so I know what were gonna see:)

DOOM

DOOM is by far one of my favorite hip-hop Mcs with his comic book villain persona and witty, gritty but not saggy like old titties flow.

Check out the video below of DOOM talking about whatever DOOM would be talking about during an interview.

Making it happen for Byron Klassen

Very serendipitous that the last post features the dancers from Batsheva. Well get back to that in a minute........

So, in this world you have 3 types of people which i break down like this.

1. people who asked "What Happened"
2. people who saw "What Happened"
3. people who MAKE IT HAPPEN

My close friend and frequent collaborator Garen Scribner falls into the third category of making it happen and on a constant. The special thing about Garen is that he does not only just make things happen for himself which is so easy to do noways with getting caught up in your own little world and shameless self promotion to move forward in life but Garen is another breed entirely. He enjoys more making others dreams and visions come true which is rare nowadays.

I want to share with you his most recent endeavor which would allow one of his students from South Africa (more on that below) named Byron Klassen to fly to NYC from South Africa to audition for Ohad Naharian who is Artistic Director of Batsheva Dance. Batsheva is the same company that i blogged about right before this post and one of the best modern dance companies in the world. Now we are getting an impression of Bryons talent level:) This is such a special opportunity for this kid with so much promise. Ive seen video of him in class and rehearsal, Byron lights that ass up. Its easy to envision him below getting down and dirty with the dancers from Batsheva. I hope everyone helps support him by spreading the word and donating. With all of that said......Im gonna pass the mic to Garen to give more deets.

"Hi Friends,

As some of you may know, I spent part of the summer in Cape town, South Africa teaching dance in the Dance for All program. Along with the rest of my LEAP South Africa team, we created a two-week intensive for almost 100 students. We had an incredible time and loved working with the children.

We saw so much talent, but recognized something very special in one student in particular named Byron Klassen. We really believe in his innate talent, and are working to bring him to New York so he can be seen by choreographers and directors. He is 19, and ready to move into the professional world. He simply needs the opportunity!

Please check out the website to support him and consider making a donation, no matter the amount! This is a really incredible chance to make a difference for a budding artist - and hopefully one day, you'll see him light up the stage.

Website below where you can click to help Byron get to the Big Apple.

Byron Klassen

All the best,

Garen Scribner"

Garen is working hard on this project along with his LEAP South Africa colleagues, former ABT and Hubbard Street dancer Alejandro Piris-Nino and former ABT and Stuttgart Ballet dancer Kristine Elliot. Byron is going to stay at Alejandro's apartment so our man already has a place to stay! Please help these guys out!

video of Bryon doing what it do below.

Enjoy!
