I’m hip deep in stuff today, so forgive the over abundance of video today. But at least it is something, and at least it is something good.

Because it wouldn’t be a Friday without Italian Spiderman.

This trailer came out quite some time ago, before the release date was pushed to May 22.

Last week we featured the great William Shatner in our Friday Sing-a-Long. To keep the haters at bay, we decided to let Lenard Nimoy join in the fun.

Hey, isn’t that Erin Gray of Buck Rogers fame?

Kevin Conroy had studied for and starred on the stage, advanced his career through soap operas, and was featured in television series like “Dynasty” and “Tour of Duty.” He had no idea that stepping into a sound booth in 1991 to audition for his first cartoon voiceover role would forever cement his place in the annals of animation and help to extend the Batman legacy to untold legions of fans.

Conroy quickly became the Batman voice by which all others are judged – and rarely assessed as an equal. He has cast a loud shadow in voicing the Dark Knight and Bruce Wayne for 17 years, beginning with “Batman: The Animated Series” and continuing through 16 films, video games and animated series (covering more than 220 episodes). He reprises the role in triumphant fashion in “Batman Gotham Knight,” the highly-anticipated third film in the ongoing series of DC Universe animated original PG-13 movies.

“Batman Gotham Knight” will arrive July 8, 2008 on DVD and Blu-Ray disc, and will also be available that day On Demand via digital cable and for download through broadband sites. The film is produced as a collaboration between DC Comics, Warner Premiere, Warner Home Video and Warner Bros. Animation. The film will receive its world premiere at Wizard World Chicago in late June.

From his home in New York City, Conroy spoke at length about the film, his ongoing relationship with the character, and the surprising manner in which he first approached and procured the role of Batman.

Sounds like NBC is ripping the theme of Villains from DC’s Villains Win theme taking place over the next year.

But, I’m a sucker for this series, and as long a my TiVo continues to capture the show on time and in HD, I’ll sit down once a month for my Heroes marathon.

It’s not the best copy, but it is a pretty cool theatrical trailer for television viewers.

It’s still going to be the best movie of the summer.

Man, I long for the days of toys like MEGO Hulk and Spider-Man

If we are going to feature Italian Spiderman, we might as well feature Spiderman Japan.

You asked for it. You referenced it. You know you want to sing along with it.

ROCKET MAN!

I found this over at The Beat this morning, and it’s just too good not to pass on to you, Dear Reader.

Pst: Make sure you stick around until after the credits for a special appearance by Italian Fantastico Four, and Iron Manos: Hands of Fate.

Heh… quite apropos for those heading to the theater this weekend.

Yes, another Ookla the Mok selection from their 1998 album Super Secret. If you listen carefully you’ll notice this track is used as the intro to the Major Spoilers Podcast.

Gotta say, I’m impressed with this bit of stop-motion photography.

What do you think? Would you rather see stop-motion action in the next movie, or stick with CGI?

We’ll have to wait and see if the Trinity series is a good as this montage.

This is something I just might participate in - after all, it is my professional background.

Here’s a sample commercial to get your creative juices flowing.
