The A-Team Motion Picture First Look Pt. 2

Sadly, here is the “official” first look at the cast of the upcoming big screen remake of the beloved 80’s television show The A-Team. Looking at the photo below really saddens The Blot, because I have absolutely no faith in this film. Hasn’t the movie industry learned by now to stop pillaging our childhood? How many television properties from the 70s, 80s and 90s have they ruined!?! While the photoshopping of the film’s official cast photograph is horrible, at least 20th Century Fox did a good job casting and dressing this new and (doubtfully) improved A-Team.

(click on the photo above for a more detailed look)

The A-Team stars Liam Neeson as “Hannibal” Smith, Bradley Cooper as Lt. Templeton "Faceman" Peck, Sharlto Copley as Capt. "Howling Mad" Murdock and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson stars as Sgt. "B.A." Baracus. The A-Team, which is set to premiere on June 11, 2010, is directed by Joe Carnahan and produced by Ridley and Tony Scott.

Art Asylum Boston Presents "Art Strikes Back"

As you all know, The Blot is a huge Star Wars fan, so I really wish I could make it to Art Asylum Boston for its upcoming Star Wars themed art show entitled Inspirations From Above: "Art Strikes Back." "Art Strikes Back" is an extraordinary collection of art featuring the works of over 30 artists from around the world showcasing their talents and inspirations based on and around the Star Wars Universe.


Paying homage to Star Wars and the influence it has had over our culture and society in the last three decades, some of today's top artists have been brought together under one roof to bring you "Art Strikes Back." While the show will be taking place in Boston, Art Asylum Boston will have an interactive gallery set up on the gallery’s website for those of us unable to attend in person, so we may view this amazing art show and purchase available works.


Art Asylum Boston will be hosting an opening reception for “Art Strikes Back” on Friday, November 6th at 7:00 - 9:00pm, and the exhibition will run through December 6th. There will also be a limited edition silk screened sticker (designed by David Friedman of http://www.ironicsans.com/) available for attendees at opening night. These stickers will be extremely limited with an edition size of only 100, and each silk screened sticker will be individually numbered.

Nutter 5 Inch Vinyl Figure by Kronk

Kidrobot wants to see the world “nut up” with Nutter, the shell-shocked squirrel, from South African illustrator Kronk. This crazy squirrel started popping up in Kidrobot window displays around the US last week, and the buzz has been building ever since. Thankfully the rumor that Nutter would be a KR exclusive has proven not to be true!


Nutter comes armed with an acorn grenade (complete with removable pin) and is super limited! There will only be 500 of these black and white 5” vinyl figures made, and each figure will retail for $50. Nutter bombs his way into Kidrobot stores, kidrobot.com and select retailers worldwide on Black Friday (i.e. Friday, November 27th – the Friday after Thanksgiving).
