"Avid Batman fans can now whet their appetite for the July 20th release of Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight Rises."
Part of a newly-launched official viral marketing campaign, the film's site thedarkknightrises.com dons a wanted poster for Batman, issued by Gotham City. Batman is wanted for murder, kidnapping, and aggravated assault of a peace officer. Here more details from the poster:
.....The film's site hosts an eight-page police report which fans are encouraged to scour for evidence that has been placed at physical locations in the real world. Via Batman's new rap sheet, fans have been instructed to tweet and email visual clues that have been scattered around the globe. The scavenger hunt requires fans to "submit photographic evidence of graffiti related to any movement in support of the vigilante's return."
It seems like only a few years ago when I heard that Lisa died in a car crash.
To me Left Eye is an important figure because she was part of my college years.
A time when La Reid and Babyface's La'Face Records ruled the growing Atlanta Music scene, Uptown Record's Sean Puffy Combs was influencing my peers with the rugged hip hop style but soulful music of Jodeci and Mary J. Blige and TLC were a girl group that was never seen before.
Along with T-Boz and Chili, TLC was one part Supreme one part BBD and one part Salt N Pepa.
A concoction of Hip Hop and R&B that still hasn't been seen since:
They were feminine without selling their bodies.
They were sassy without trying ultra independent.
...and through it all, the architect of the group was Left Eye.
Much like how Eazy E led NWA, Left Eye did the same with better rapping skills.
From the music to the attitude to the early Cross Colours inspired clothes, where she ported condoms to promote safe sex, TLC were like no other.
Those days are go now as TLC has been replaced by sexy gals whom have no concept that that wearing overalls (Ain't Too Proud To Beg) and pajamas (Baby, Baby, Baby) in videos can be just as sexy than having a big butt and dancing on a pole.
I miss Left eye...a lot!
Sure she was little crazy during the time she burned former NFLer Andre Rison's home to the ground, but the time before her death, she was growing as a woman.
Much like Tupac before she died, Left eye was on the path finding herself.
Though we will never see her grow into full self, at least we still have her records to love the crazy sexy cool gal she used to be.
