OHC of the Day: Astrid Berges-Frisbey

This french stunner is exactly what I am looking for when I pick the Obscure Hot Chick of the Day. I am looking for newcomers or relatively unknown (to the masses anyway) actresses who I feel will someday (probably soon) make a splash in the industry. How better could an actress make a splash then to play a mysterious mermaid in Pirates of the Caribbean 4? See what I did there? Anyway, this french model went through a ton of auditions for the role of Syrena in what producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Rob Marshall are hoping to be another trilogy of Pirate movies. She only appeared in one other movie, The Sea Wall, which I have never seen. I have yet to see Pirates 4 (It came out last night for Christ sakes!), but seeing the beautiful Astrid on the screen is sure to make the movie much more enjoyable.

LEGO Iconic Vol #8 by Jeff Bond

I am such a huge Lego nerd that words can not explain. Soooo I've decided to use my favorite blog site CCD.com as an outlet to get some of this stuff that I see every day, built out of bricks, out of my skull and onto the blogosphere where it can't hurt my cerebral cortex. Each month I'll be posting the best of the best hoping to inspire the Lego maniac in each of you...young and old.  Enjoy!

I am 'Brick Junk' this week on all the Lego inspired art that has been forwarded to me and that I've found, myself, from hours of surfing the bricker-net. Kudos to my agents of Lego Iconery for all your help!

First up, my boy Ochre Jelly over at Flickr created his first homage installment to my second favorite Sci-Fi film franchises of all time. Those 'damn dirty apes' of the 'Planet of the Apes' franchise. Brick shall not kill brick! Dig the 2nd 60's retro poster inspired collage framing the monkey participants in all their Technicolor glory.

Spotted first on Topless Robot by my partner in crime, Mr. Mike D, forwarded me this Lego on Metal 'Viking Odyssey' short film created by the geniuses of CollegeHumor.com. Makes me wanna make cool things  out of Lego and bash them at the walls!

These Two Tentpole Movies Are Shaping Up Nicely...

In the last few days, we have seen the trailers for two of next years most geek related movies. First, we had 'Thor', and now we have 'Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides'. Both looked really good, and despite the fact that we got a long time to wait, and many films coming out before them, I can't help but be super intrigued by them. Here are a few things I liked about each of them.

First, we have The Mighty Thor:

My Thoughts:

1. I love Agent Coulson. He is starting to shape up as a bad ass agent. I am looking forward to him being an integral part of The Avengers Initiative.
2. Asgard looks fantastic... just spectacular.
3. All the armor and helmets look comic book accurate, but not overly ridiculous. Thor's helmet scared that shit out of me... I thought for sure he was gonna look like a dick with a metal helmet and duck wings with feathers on the sides. Definitely not the case.
4. Chris Hemsworth is Thor...'nuff said. Better yet, Thor is playing an actor named Chris Hemsworth on Earth right now.
5. The Frost Giants, The Destroyer Armor, and Loki look fucking amazing. Villains tend to be these comic book adaptations downfall... and this does not look likely here.

Next, 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides'

And now, my thoughts:

1. Captain Jack Sparrow as a prisoner. My favorite scenes from this series always come when Jack is in the capture of someone... and he finds a way to worm out of it.
2. Penelope Cruz... damn son!!!!
3. Blackbeard aka Ian McShane. I was not a huge fan of Deadwood (I know, I know... I am the ONLY one in the world who didn't like it) but I definitely loved every scene McShane was in. He is gangster... and now he will bring that wickedness to the high seas.
4. Dropping Keira Knightley & Orlando Bloom. Those two had a great storyline through three movies, but that was enough. If Disney is going back to the well for a 4th, 5th and 6th film (that's the rumor), then its good they chose to gravitate away from that completed storyline. Maybe Bloom can make a cameo as the captain of  The Flying Dutchman.
5. Mermaids, Zombies and action... oh my!!! These twists look great. Bring it on!!!

So, there you go. We'll see how it goes next year. Are you guys excited to see these films? Why? Tell us in the comment section below!!!
