Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee

Title says it all really, except that @JerrySeinfeld is the man behind this interview/comedy web series. Kramer and Jerry in the final episode alone makes it worthwhile.

Trailer Park: Vanishing Waves / The Prototype

two interesting sci-fi trailers - Vanishing Waves is about a man trying to reach a coma patient with a freaky neural connector that looks a bit like Battlestar's Cylon prophet in a bath; The Protoype is about a robot military drone on the run. Good to see sci-fi getting a bit more cerebral again

Nemo: Heart Of Ice Cover

@GoshComics have got the first look at the League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen spin-off from Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill. Enjoyed the series so far, glad they're moving it on with some of the other peripheral characters. Due Feb 2013

It’s 1925, fifteen long years since Janni Dakkar first tried to escape the legacy of her science-pirate father, only to eventually take on his mantle and accept her destiny as the new Nemo; the next captain of the legendary Nautilus. A thirty year-old Pirate Jenny, tired of punishing the world with an unending spree of plunder and destruction, is resolved to finally step from her forebear’s lengthy shadow by attempting something at which he’d conspicuously failed, namely the exploration of Antarctica. In 1895 her father had returned from that ice-crusted continent without his reason or his crewmen, all of whom appeared to have mysteriously perished or to otherwise have disappeared. Now Captain Nemo’s daughter and successor plans to take her feared and celebrated black submersible back to the world’s South Pole in an attempt to lay her sire’s intimidating ghost forever.

The Dark Knight Returns - As A Cartoon

After the entertaining but ultimately a bit "hang on what about ... " finale to Christopher Nolan's big screen trilogy, here's another Batman film that might be more satisfying (or totally frustrating) - an animated version of Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns. Pt1 is out in October, Pt2 in 2013. There's a longer trailer here, or you could just read the 1986 comic. It's quite good.

Sketch! A Visual Tour of Silver Lake and Los Feliz

Great short portrait of sketch artist Stéphane Kardos from Kauri Multimedia (via @forksandtorches)

"Sketching has a sense of urgency that I love, the energy, the life that can come out of a sketch amazes me. It’s about spontaneity, enthusiasm, confidence. It’s giving the feeling of a place, the illusion that every element is here."

First Look: Pacific Rim/ Elysium

Twitch have got pics of Charlie Humman, Rinko Kikuchi and Idris Elba in Guillermo Del Toro's upcoming mecha-robots v monsters sci-fi Pacfic Rim; and a look at Matt Damon getting all Bruce Willis in Neill "District 9" Blomkamp's Elysium (a future where the rich live on a satellite orbiting Earth). Like the sound of both, intrigued to see what Del Toro does with a plot that sounds very close to late 70s/early 80s anime classic Gundam.

Trailer Park: The Bourne Legacy

Another trailer for Bourne re-boot The Bourne Legacy, though this one sets the movie inside the second Matt Damon movie - and it looks like several characters from the first trilogy reprise their roles here. Clever. Though, kind of like that third Damon movie.
