A CLOSER LOOK AT THE NEW PROMETHEUS AND DARK KNIGHT RISES TRAILERS Two of this decade’s most hotly anticipated films released new trailers this week. 2-3 minute long trailers, with plenty of spoilers it would seem.

As kid I loved a lot of crappy Eurodance, such as 2 Unlimited, but I had an excuse – I was a kid. These days I am more into rock and ‘quality’ dance music (i.e Prodigy, Daft Punk), although I’ve found myself liking more and more music that I really should hate. Everyone at some [...]
