Yeah, I'm Not So Good At This Armor Making Thing...

Why am I fighting a dragon in my underwear???

This is a funny video from Dorkly featuring Arthur of the 'Ghost n Goblins' franchise haggling with his blacksmith over the armor he just purchased. I'm not sure if this dialogue was in the original game (wink wink), but it is extremely true and very funny. Kudos to Rob at Topless Robot for finding this one. Hysterical 8-bit humor.
 

6 Photos That Make Us Want To See An Arthur Re-Make With Russell Brand

Arthur was the great 1981 comedy starring Dudley Moore as a prepetually drunk heir to a 750 million dollar fortune... he is like a 12 year old with a whiskey glass, always drunk and acting a fool. He is supposed to be in an arranged marriage, but instead meets Liza Minelli's outer borough waitress and falls in love. His valet is his only friend, and once his family catches wind of his idea to be with a working class waitress, they threaten to take away his inheriatance.

I heard a few months ago that Russell Brand was set to star in a remake, and I must admit that I was torn on this. Brand is riding high off the success of 'Forgetting Sara Marshall' and 'Get Him To The Greek', and he does seem like a good fit for the role. Brand is best when he can be crass, drunk and crazy on camera... basically playing himself. Just look at that dudes hair, and then ask yourself how many hours a day you think he is sober. One website that I saw (can't remember which one, sorry!) called Brand "The drunk/druggie version of Michael Cera" in the sense that like Cera it seems that he gets to play himself in films. But I digress.

The first pictures have been leaked from the set, and it involves Brand and Luis Guzman dressed as Batman and Robin. Guzman is wearing a very true to form replica of the Boy Wonder's costume, green underwear and all. This is awesome. If you are going to have a drunk multi millionaire who is like a grown version of a 12 year old, wouldn't he parade around Manhattan dressed as Batman with a utility belt that features shot glasses, whiskey flasks, party poppers, and an Ipod. I have two words... awesome. Enjoy the pics, and tell me how you feel about this remake in the comment section below.
