I love Batman as much as the next guy. Like many high school nerds with a chip on their shoulder, I argued passionately that the darkest Batman stories were his true self, not the goofy camp of the 1960s Adam West series. That being said, is anyone in worse need of a little levity than the Dark Knight? Batman’s gloomy personality finally reached a tipping point with Zack Snyder’s gun-happy take on the character in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. As Jack Nicholson’s Joker said in the 1989 film, this town needs an enema. So I am absolutely there for every bit of self-serious mockery levied at Batman’s history in The LEGO Batman Movie, and I cannot imagine a gag quite as funny as the movie’s brand new theme song (via Heroic Hollywood). Written and performed by Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump — who, I must admit, has a pretty great Batman voice — the song pulls no punches when it comes to Batman’s pompous mythology. Here’s a few sample lines: In the darknest night,
I make the bad guys fall. There’s a million heroes, BUT I’M THE BEST OF THEM ALL! Who has the coolest gadgets? Who has a tricked out ride? Who does the sickest backflips? The song also provides some very important background on Batman for those not familiar with the character. Did you know that Batman can choke hold a bear? That he never skips leg day? Or that he’s 100% not Bruce Wayne? There’s even a not-so-subtle dig at President Trump in the song, with Batman boasting that he’s a billionaire who “always pays his taxes.” Looks like we’ve got our “Everything Is Awesome” of 2017. Here’s the full plot synopsis for The LEGO Batman Movie: In the irreverent spirit of fun that made “The LEGO® Movie” a worldwide phenomenon, the self-described leading man of that ensemble — LEGO Batman — stars in his own big-screen adventure. But there are big changes brewing in Gotham, and if he wants to save the city from The Joker’s hostile takeover, Batman may have to drop the lone vigilante thing, try to work with others and maybe, just maybe, learn to lighten up.
The LEGO Batman Movie Bat-swings into Bat-theaters on February 10, 2017. ‘The LEGO Batman Movie’ Review: Finally, A Batman Who Does Play AroundAll Releases Artists Press Special Fanmail ORIGINAL SCORE, ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACKORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK - THE LEGO MOVIEThe LEGO Movie is a 2014 American-Australian-Danish computer animated adventure comedy film starring the voices of Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Nick Offerman, Alison Brie, Charlie Day, Liam Neeson, and Morgan Freeman.Based on the LEGO line of construction toys, the film tells the story of Emmet (Pratt), an ordinary LEGO minifigure prophesied to save the universe from the tyrannical Lord Business (Ferrell). Released theatrically on February 7, 2014, the movie was a critical and commercial success, with many critics highlighting its visual style, humour, voice acting, and heartwarming message.The film's Original Score was composed by Mark Mothersbaugh, who had previously worked with producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller onCloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs and 21 Jump Street.
The LEGO Movie soundtrack contains the score as the majority of its tracks.Also included is the theme song "Everything Is Awesome!!!" by Tegan and Sara featuring The Lonely Island, which has been critically praised and has undergone some close analysis. International Business Times describes the song as a parody of fascism, saying that the song "seems little more than an infectiously catchy parody of watered-down radio pop, right down to the faux-dubstep breakdown. There's a lot more happening under the surface, however." In an interview with Fox News, composer and songwriter Mark Mothersbaugh says the song "was supposed to be like mind control early in the film. It's totally irritating, this kind of mindless mantra to get people up and working."180 gram audiophile vinylGatefold sleeve + insert500 numbered copies on red vinyl & 500 numbered copies on yellow vinyl (DELIVERED AT RANDOM)At The Movies release: packed in PVC Collector's bag07-01-2015 ORIGINAL SCORE, ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK

Sometimes, tracking down the song in a YouTube video is a bit of an adventure. Audentifi is an app similar to something like Shazam that can detect a song based on the URL you give it. All you need to do is drop a YouTube URL into Audentifi and after a few seconds (or minutes if it's a long video), the web app will spit out the song name and artist. Like Shazam, it's not always accurate, but it's a good starting point if you're trying to figure out who's performing a song. ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ is a YouTube Phenomenon, Even if Viewers Won’t Admit It “” isn’t just a smash, it’s also a social-media phenomenon. The randy drama dominated in the lead-up to its release last weekend. Its official trailers and commercials attracted 113 million views, and the total views on all “Fifty Shades of Grey”-related material reached 329 million, according to research from Pixability, an ad buying and video marketing platform.
“It’s the most successful launch from a trailer view perspective in some time,” said Andreas Goeldi, chief technology officer at Pixability. The firm crunched the numbers and found that the picture generated much more attention on the video site than other recent blockbusters such as “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “The Lego Movie.” “Fifty Shades'” official trailer received 58 million views, while the spots for “Guardians” and “The Lego Movie” attracted 17 million and 27 million views, respectively. To generate buzz around the film, Universal, the studio behind “Fifty Shades,” released a trailer online unusually early, more than 200 days before the movie opened. It’s not that everyone watching “Fifty Shades” material was under the spell of brooding billionaire Christian Grey or fancied a trip to his red room. Much of the video content related to the film came from parodies, such as Ellen DeGeneres reading from the book of “Fifty Shades” and YouTube star PewDiePie sending up the novel’s fan fiction cottage industry.
Many of these parodies were produced while the book was still a bestselling sensation and before the movie hit screens. The film’s soundtrack, which features the likes of Sia and Beyonce, also helped drive interest, prompting audiences to check out music videos. “This has a very broad cultural appeal, and there are a lot of different ways and perspectives that people were engaging with the book and the movie,” said Goeldi. Because of its scenes of bondage and explicit sex, not everyone wanted to cop to the fact they were busy checking out trailers and commercials. There were 3.7 million shares of “Fifty Shades”-related content on Facebook and Twitter, a fairly low number given all the activity. Moreover, 0.98% of views of the commercials led to sharing on those platforms compared to 1.11% for “Guardians of the Galaxy” and 1.52% for “The Lego Movie.” “A lot of people were looking at this material, but they didn’t necessarily want to admit it,” said Goeldi.
