Following the events in Vancouver where a demolition of a three storey building went very wrong, splattering the road with concrete and almost causing injury (almost but not quite, so that the demolition company could say with a degree of truth that it was a good news story because nobody was hurt) I thought I would post up some examples of other classic demolition fails that can be found on Youtube

Christoph Rehage decided in 2007 to walk from Beijing to Germany.

Going on foot for 4500 km he didn’t make it to Germany but stopped a little short of his target, making it passed the Gobi Desert before deciding to stop the journey for now.

He did, however, manage to have some great experiences on the way and blogged about them on his website (The Longest Way ).

He also posted up an inspirational video of his journey which can be seen below and shows how he changed as the journey went on.

A very cool summary of the way in which effects have changed over the years in the film industry, some of the early ones are still a bit hard to unravel when you watch them now but this short video brings you up to date from the earliest through to the most recent cutting edge technology.

WATCHMEN is the latest film from director Zack Snyder and the team behind 300. Based on a famous graphic novel from the 1980s it tells the story of an alternate America in which the Vietnam War was won, Nixon was elected for a third term and costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of society. It was passed ‘18’ for strong bloody violence.

The Hollywood Reporter has written that Christopher Nolan will not be doing a third Batman film as his next project. In fact Batman 3 (Working title (/) Gotham) is likely to be pushed back to 2011 while Chris works on his original science fiction project, Inception.

A complex, multi-layered mystery adventure, “Watchmen” is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the Doomsday Clock – which charts the USA’s tension with the Soviet Union – moves closer to midnight.

IMAX Corporation and Warner Bros. Pictures today announced that the box office smash hit The Dark Knight, which has grossed more than $997 million at the worldwide box office since its release on July 18th, 2008, will return to IMAX(R) theatres for an encore presentation. Starting January 23rd, the film will open in 143 IMAX screens domestically, and 29 screens internationally. Last year the film opened day and date in 94 domestic and 15 international IMAX theatres and went on to become the highest grossing live-action Hollywood IMAX release, generating $63 million as it continued to be released throughout the IMAX network.

Batman is going to be joined by Robin if rumours (always a little dodgy) are true.

Insiders have been quoted as saying that Shia (Transformers) LabBeouf will be taking on the role in the third instalment of Christopher Nolan’s Batman story arc.

A complex, multi-layered mystery adventure, Watchmen is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the “Doomsday Clock” – which charts the USA’s tension with the Soviet Union – is permanently set at five minutes to midnight.

When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes.
