Contest: Help Redesign The Golden Briefcase's iTunes Podcast Image

By Alex Billington

Hey everyone, we're launching a fun contest today for our official podcast The Golden Briefcase, hosted by Tim Buel & Jeremy Kirk. If you haven't been listening, they host a fantastic weekly audio show talking about all things cinema, with guests, and are just about to hit episode #80 tomorrow. The other day I was browsing through my podcasts in iTunes and glanced at the logo for TGB. While it's simple and effective, I thought we could come up with something much more worthy of an awesome podcast hosted by two movie geeks, so we're hosting a redesign contest this month to win a $100 Amazon gift card. Read on for info!

Mini Comic Books for 'Super 8' Launch an Online Comic Art Contest

By Alex Billington

"The Soviets sent a DOG, the US sent a NUKE." Ohh you've gotta love classic comics. We're now a few weeks away from J.J. Abrams' Super 8 hitting theaters (June 10th) and there's some cool marketing cross-overs coming out of the woodwork. Or maybe they could even be called virals. Apparently there was a mini 12¢ comic found in various recent DC comics. It featured the rather intriguing cover art you see above/below (what's happening?) and a comic strip that lead to a blank panel so that fans could participate in this part - an online Official Comic Book Art Contest. This is pretty frickin' cool! More details can be found below.

By Alex Billington

Last weekend after The Dark Knight hit theaters worldwide, we decided to host a contest to see who could write the best story for a third film in Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy.

We received over 200+ entries in a few days and have finally chosen the winner of an awesome Dark Knight prize pack. All story submissions were required to be around 500 words and were judged by our resident comic guru and Batman fan Roman Chavez and contributing writer Andy Adair. Not only can you find the winner's story published below, but we've included four runner-up stories as well, just because they were all so damn good. Read on to check out a few of the stories and be sure to comment with your own thoughts on our winners.

Contest: Where Could The Dark Knight Go Next?

By Alex Billington

With the entire world wrapped up in The Dark Knight this weekend, I thought it would be fun to hold a contest for fans who can't stop thinking about Batman. The Dark Knight was such an amazing follow up to Batman Begins, that I'm not sure how another sequel could even be made. However, considering it's about to break box office records, I'm sure Warner Brothers is willing to pay whatever it takes to finish this trilogy. With that in mind, I'm wondering what kind of story we might see in a third film? What villains would work? How might Batman get himself out of the predicament he is in at the end of the second film? How could anything ever surpass what Christopher Nolan just created with The Dark Knight? We've decide to host a writing contest to see who can come up with the best story for a third movie.
