I do like Cinema Blend but too often they will post any old crap that is sent to them for no other reason than to fill a quota and attract hits and links to their site.
It’s the gods honest truth. Today they have committed two such crimes again…
The first article is on plot details for Batman 3 – or at least the article claims to have plot details for Batman 3 but apart from the odd referencing of The Long Halloween and Dark Victory stories (something which we already know Nolan has taken much from for The Dark Knight) and a guess that The Joker won’t make it out alive, I see nothing.
And then he tells us Nolan is back for a third but no more – and that Harvey Dent will carry over to the next film. Because none of us knew or could guess at that already.
Shameful. Why not wait until you have scoops for the actual film before posting such crap that has been sent to you.
YOU CAN SEE THAT ARTICLE HERE.
Their next scoop involves Captain America and the rumor that Matthew McConaughey is the lead choice at Marvel for the part.
Excellent timing guys and how convenient just after the announcement that Captain America was set for 2011 when internet bloggers everywhere will be looking for Captain America casting rumors. He’s apparently only “one of the actors” currently being considered for the role.
This is actually something that has become rumor for years now after fans started branding his name around for the role. A similar thing happened with Christian Bale for Batman.
I actually think McConaughey wouldn’t be the worst choice and I could see him having chemistry with Robert Downey Jr. Personally I’ve always liked the idea of Mark Wahlberg – and actually today I was going to write an article over why I THINK he should be cast and not scooping to the love of writing that he is being CONSIDERED for the part.
Maybe CB should have done that kind of thing to generate hits but oh no, that would require actual work wouldn’t it?

Remember how Hayden Christensen was suppose to be Superman?
Josh Tyler… you don’t have to post every e-mail you get sent mate. Think about what you are publishing!

Are you working for Josh? Because by posting the links here, he’s getting more hits :p
No I just know a lot of readers from this site visit CB daily and his continuing desire to post anything he receives via e-mail as a “good scoop” should be stopped.
Hahaha. This as pretty funny.
Nothing like trashing a fellow blogger to make you feel good baout yourself eh?
This really is in poor taste to post this on your site like this, whether it is true or not. If you have a problem, why not e-mail him directly to talk about it?
Matt Holmes, you are pretty low class.
Aren’t you supposed to be a movie site reporting movie news, not some lame whiney blogger complaining about how a more successful site than yours goes about it’s business.
More news please, less passive aggressive BS fight-picking.
Grow up.
