Earlier today I got a takedown notice for a certain image, that I found by searching Google, that I believed to be the Special Edition DVD set for the Dark Knight. I thought I’d share the text of the take-down notice with you. enjoy:

VIA ELECTRONIC EMAIL

Dear Abuse Manager,

Screenhead is offering images from The Dark Knight consisting of the Batpod, and DVD case art work.  I have a good faith belief that such content is not authorized by Warner Bros., its agent, or the law and therefore infringes Warner Bros.’ rights.

Images to be removed are located at:
http://www.screenhead.net/awesome-bat-pod-dvd-set <http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/26927856.html>

I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Please confirm that you have taken the appropriate action at your earliest convenience.  Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter and please advise should you have any questions or require any additional information.

Thank you.

I’ll leave it up to you to determine whether that confirms the existence of a Batpod DVD set or not…(the bold words were not bold in the original email if that helps.)

It is a little strange that a person working for such a huge production company would make such a mistake as claiming that I was associated with both of the sites in question though.

He was nice about it though, that’s a nice change.

(The above image is not the one previously posted here…this one is legit)

Role Models is one of those movies that could either be amazing or horrible but not in between. Watch the trailer and then cross your fingers firmly.

Thanks to an NDA, Kevin Smith can’t tell us what movie he saw outright, but sure wasn’t hesitant about dropping hints in a recent interview. Here’s the interview:

Smith: I saw a movie last night that I cannot talk about.

Host: Was it good?

Smith: It was phenomenal.

Host: Any stars, any break out stars, and do they trek?

Smith: The stars absolutely trek in this film. It is fantastic. Anybody who was worried doesn’t need to be worried–about this film I cannot talk about…It was in very capable hands. The director did a phenomenal job–the director and his crew. Top notch cast and the guy that plays the lead is an instant star. That dude is going to be so famous. He is so wonderful. He picked up a role that I would say is pretty challenging for someone to step into the shoes of, because it is a role that has been played before many times by the same guy.

Host: How do you out Shatner, Shatner?

Smith: I don’t what you are talking about.

Host: I was just saying that as an expression.

Smith: Yes, absolutely, in a world of expressions, I would agree with that…I am so not

Was he just leading us on or do you think he was talking about JJ Abrams’ Star Trek?
