Newspaper Want-Ad reads: “Wanted – Someone to go back in time with me.

I adore Wes Anderson movies. Okay, maybe Bottle Rocket didn’t do it for me, but Rushmore? The Life Aquatic? Absolutely. Not to mention The Royal Tennenbaums, one of my top-ten movies of all time. (Hey, it’s like he filmed my life y’all.)

They came, they were seen, they were awesome. Tons of folks braved the zillion degree heat yesterday to take an up-close advance peek of two of the stars of The Dark Knight Rises; the Bat Pod and the Tumbler. Wanna look? Yeah you do.
It’s almost here! No, not the glorious, splendiferous holiday weekend that means an extra day of awesome for everyone. I’m talking about the Bad Pod. I’m rather psyched for this, as I’m a sucker for all things that go vroom.
