I was pretty skeptical when the first Avatar trailer came out but this new trailer makes it look pretty cool. Will it be the epic, groundbreaking movie the hype is promising? In all likelihood probably not, but it still looks pretty cool.

I love this new HW from collegehumor. They were developing it while I was there and I actually suggested a couple of things that made it into this video, mainly “Hardly Working: The New Class” and a major character being played by someone else. Cool stuff. Collegehumor, you’re welcome.

Here’s another Arcade Fire song entitled My Body is a Cage. A cool sounding song with a nice slow rhythm and great progression as the song goes on.  This video’s pretty cool too in that it syncs up with the ending of Once Upon a Time in the West.

With the help of the Where the Wild Things are trailer, I have now been turned on to the band The Arcade Fire. I know it’s probably not cool to like them anymore since they were an indy band and now they’re all mainstream but I don’t care.

They’re really cool in that no two of their songs sound the same. The one I’m currently playing over and over again is called Intervention and has some really interesting lyrics and sounds like a cross between a baseball stadium organ mixed with Bruce Springsteen. Pretty cool stuff, check it out.
