The Awesome List: Bond poster, politics, Jason Statham, Hawkman, and the New New KITT

Quantum of Solace poster



Larry Young for President

I really don't plan on talking politics here, but this quote from comics publisher Larry Young is too good not to share:

"If I got installed President, I'd send out ambassadors to every country in the world and, at the same time, have them deliver the same message to the governments they spoke to: 'Holy shit, we are REALLY sorry for all of that crap we've done since, oh, let's call it 1990 for easy figuring, and if you could just give us a little time to sweep up our shit, we'd sure appreciate it. We've got the bomb, and all, and we'll still fuck your shit up if you look at us funny, but all of that other crap was bad form and like I said, we apologize. Go back to what you were doing, and we're going to get our shit together and we'll see you next year. In the meantime, enjoy this Lynyrd Skynyrd song we're broadcasting from all our spy satellites, and we'll see you in 2009. Our bad.'"

Jason Statham for Superhero

As long as I'm quoting people, here's an awesome one from Jason Statham who would really like to play a superhero:

"I’m trying to think of what would be a good comic book character for me to play. You know, there’s talk of them redoing The Crow. That was a good movie with Brandon Lee, although that was years ago. So if that one comes my way, bang! You know, there’s so many comic book movies out there and most of the time there’s only a handful of people who can do them any justice. Hopefully, they’ll come my way for one of them."

Hawkman on The Batman

I'm not a big Hawkman fan or anything, but dang he looks cool. And he'll be even cooler voiced by John Doggett.




The New New KITT

Will Arnett (Gob from Arrested Development) will no longer be the voice of KITT in the new Knight Rider series. Due to a conflict of interests between his spokesperson duties for GMC and the Ford-sponsored TV show, he's stepped down from the role and is being replaced by Val Kilmer.

I get what the producers are doing with the Mustang and the rough voices, and I'll probably like the show more that way, but I sort of miss the sleeker car with the British accent.
