Get your Daily (show) dose of the Colbert Report

null

Two of the best shows on TV, The Daily Show with John Stewart and The Colbert Report, can now be streamed from the Comedy Central website; whole episodes only a day after they air and unlike a lot of other networks these episodes are also available to international viewers. So go watch some episodes and laugh while you learn… and be slowly brainwashed into a democrat.

RIP: Don LaFontaine (1940 – 2008)

There wouldn’t be a single Space Meat reader who doesn’t not know his voice, yet few may know his name. Don “The Movie Trailer Voice” LaFontaine passed away September 1st, due to a blood clot in his lungs. He’s narrated the trailers of some of the most brilliant and some of the most inane films, but there’s no one else like him in the business. If you want to learn more about the man behind the voice this video is a good place to start.

Red Alert 3 Means Red Alert For Free

With Red Alert 3 and Christmas approaching EA are already getting into the giving spirit and are offering the original Command & Conquer: Red Alert for free download.

Also being offered is Red Alert 2 for free to anyone who pre-orders Red Alert 3.

I know I’m looking forward to Red Alert 3 so this may be a good blast from the past for anyone else anticipating the series’ next installment.

Review: The Dark Knight

Since Batman’s creation in 1939 there have been many different takes on the character and the universe. In the medium of film alone there has been the wacky and downright silly 1966 Batman movie, then there was Tim Burton’s stylised Batman films in 1989 and 1992 followed by Joel Schumacher’s much maligned Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. Then in 2005 Christopher Nolan (Momento, The Prestige) directed Batman Begins with a vision of sinister realism.

This brings us to Nolan’s second Batman film; The Dark Knight. Aside from Schumacher’s films, I have immensely enjoyed all of the previous Batman films – all for different reasons. It used to be that I couldn’t say which Batman film stood out as being the greatest of them all. But now I can easily say that The Dark Knight is the best Batman film ever made – and arguably the best comic-to-film adaptation to date.
