This is an interview with Breaux Greer, 8-time American national champion and American record holder and one of the best javelin throwers in the world. He gives his two cents to Flotrack on not making this year’s Olympic team and doing American Gladiators for “recovery”. This is easily one of the best sports interviews I’ve ever seen. See for yourself:
Classic. Now that the trials are over, I’m looking forward to an awesome Olympic Games.
Update: More on the trials.
I stumbled accross this photo of the (via Teamstrannon) of the 800M finals at the 2008 U.S. Track and Field Olympic Trials. The race ended in epic fashion as Christian Smith (in the white) laid out at the line to edge out favorite Khadevis Robinson (in the blue) for the final Olympic team spot. This is after Nick Symmonds’ (Oregon Track Club) devastating kick which took him from the back of the pack into first place; University of Oregon sophomore, Andrew Wheating came out of nowhere to take second for an Oregon 1-2-3 sweep.

In the style of Batman’s Gotham Cable News viral marketing campaign, Pixar created Buy n Large. Unlike Batman’s viral efforts however, I wish this one was for real; I could definitely use a robot to vacuum or repair things or whatever. Wall E has received rave reviews so far so I’m excited to see it tomorrow. Don’t forget to check out the extended trailer after the jump.

Here’s the latest trailer for the upcoming Dark Knight movie. Enjoy
I saw Get Smart the other day. It was moderately amusing I suppose but nothing to write home about. I think the movie everyone has been waiting for (besides The Dark Knight) is Wall E. Interestingly enough, besides being an awesome looking Pixar movie in it’s own right, Wall E also appeals to my inner Apple fanboy.
It’s pretty hard to deny that director Chris Nolan’s iteration of DC’s superhero Batman, in his film Batman Begins was absolutely fantastic. It seems that the recent flux of comic book hero based movies are only getting better and more appealing to audiences besides comic nerds. While Marvel turned it’s popular Spiderman into a joke with Spiderman 3, it certainly scored major hits with lesser known Iron Man and Hulk remake.
The Dark Knight, the sequel to Batman Begins, looks only to continue the trend of super heros scoring big at the box office. In an effort to hype the film further, the producers created a website for Gotham Cable News which features Dateline style news clips from the metropolis of Gotham. They’re fun to watch and help set the story for those who may not have seen Batman Begins. Though unrelated to the film, the one bit if disappointing news is that Gotham Cable News is a Comcast network; but a clever marketing ploy for Comcast nonetheless. For those of you who just can’t get enough of Bruce Wayne and his alter ego, be sure to check out this Wired article about the making of the film. It’ll be interesting to see how the slated superhero films do once they’re released leading up to 2011′s Avengers film.
We’ll see if The Dark Knight can top my current superhero fav, Iron Man. What’re your favorite comic book to film adaptations?
