You Tube Theater

First video this week is something I like to call. Just another damn thing that I can't do.




Next we have the second commercial that Tim and Eric have made for Absolute Vodka



Finally we have the new trailer for the "Wolverine and the X-Men" cartoon. I wasn't expecting much from this new series until I saw this trailer. It almost looks like this series could take place after the 90's X-men series.

News You Already Know

* A month ago we got a cool pic of Snake Eyes from the upcoming G.I. Joe movie. Next we were treated to a very peek of Scarlet. Now we have a ton of shitty pics of various different Joes and Cobras. Characters include Duke, Heavy Duty, Ripcord, Destro, Storm Shadow, General Hawk, and Baroness. You can get links to all the pics from Aint It Cool News. I don't want to give any spoilers but Destro doesn't have a metal head.

* Check out the teaser trailer for Heroes season 3. It doesn't tell us much, but it's badass.



* A few weeks back Micheal Rosenbaum announced that he would be growing back his hair and leaving Smallville. Wednesday's season finale is billed as the Clark/Lex confrontation that we've been waiting to see for seven years. It's now being reported that Alison Mack is playing hardball for more cash, hoping the producers don't want to lose another regular cast member. Expect her to be killed off Wednesday.

* Dc announced this week that Brad Meltzer (Indentity Crisis, JLA) is returning to write "Last Will and Testament". The 38 page one-shot will take place between issues 3-4 of "Final Crisis". The story itself takes place the night before a giant battle that happens in issue four of "Final Crisis".

* Beginning in November J. Micheal Straczynski (Amazing Spider-Man, The Twelve) and Jesus Siaz (The OMAC Project, Checkmate) will be the new creative team on "Brave and the Bold".

Holy Shit We're Under Attack!

NCDH is continuing their up to the minute covering of Marvel's Secret Invasion. Today issue 2 of Secret Invasion came out and here are the details for those cheap bastards who didn't want to spend the $3.99 (wait a minute I spent $3.99 on this?!)

• Right off the bat Ares smells a trap and demands that everyone retreats. Sounds kinda skrully to me. Maybe Ares just wanted to give his fellow skrulls a chance to regroup.
• Instead of taking the advice of Ares, everyone starts to brawl.
• During the brawl we find out that spaceship Spider-Man and Hawkeye were indeed Skrulls. The big reveal is that Mockingbird is the real deal. For the record I have the issue she was killed off in. Well I DID have it, until she was brought back from the dead this week.
• Iron Man's armor is totally messed up by an alien virus. Ms.Marvel takes him somewhere safe where Tony begins making a new Iron Man suit.
• Back in New York the new and improved Super Skrulls start their attack, and the only heroes around at the time are the Young Avengers.
• It should also be noted that in issue 13 of the Mighty Avengers, we get to see the formation of Nick Fury's New Howling Commandos. That book is a must read as we already know that Nick's new team will be playing a large role in Secret Invasion.

NY Comic Con 08

Being the first group in to the con on Friday had one great advantage. After rushing over to the Marvel booth we were greeted by Joe Quesda. This was probably one of the only time you could catch Joe for a photo opportunity. Thankfully Shane was able to snap a pic that still had me in the frame.

Later that day I took place in a nerdy threesome. Myself and Shane-O-Mac talked Bryan Hitch in to being the meat to our nerd sandwich.

Chris Claremont was also doing a signing at the Marvel booth. While I will admit to not a big fan of some of his work, I believe Chris Claremont to be a legend and respect his earlier work. My favorite part of this pic is the guy behind me who is looking on. It's only a wild guess but I'm thinking he's upset I cut the entire line just to get a photo.

Myself and Gwen Stacy. Nuff Said!

Cee Diddy Ponders...

News You Already Know

Marvel Studios debuted in a big way over the weekend with Iron Man. The iron-clad avenger brought in 100.7 million dollars domestic, and over 200 mil worldwide. It's no surprise that Marvel Studio announced a sequel today that is slated for April 30, 2010. Marvel Studios also announced the rest of their movies for the next three years. Here's a quick recap of what was announced.

• Iron Man 2 - 4/10/10
• Thor - 6/4/10
• Captain America 5/6/11
• The Avengers - July 2011

Absent from this list is the previously mentioned Ant-Man movie. It has also been said by Marvel Studios that they only want to release during the key summer season, therefore they do not have a 2009 release. Although Wolverine comes out in 2009, it is not being released by Marvel Studios.

We have until 2010 before the next piece of The Avengers puzzle is put in to place. That's more than enough time to speculate about what to expect. Will see War Machine in Iron Man 2? Will the Thor movie take place in Asgard? Can Marvel Studios deliver a Captain America movie that completely takes place during WW2? Are we really going to get an Avengers movie in 2011? One thing we know for sure. It is good to be a comic book movie fan again.

Cee Diddy Holla is proud to present the first "You Tube Theater" that features an original video from Cee Diddy Holla. Enjoy.

Analyzing the DC Teaser

Different websites have posted DC's new teaser image and I've decided to give my insight and analyze as many of the clues as possible. Feel free to add to this post and as Final Crisis goes on we will see how many things we got right. First let's take a look at the picture.

• "The Dead Shall Rise" - Reference to the Black Lanterns that arrive during "Blackest Night"
• "I am Batman?" - Reference to "Batman R.I.P." I really think that "Batman R.I.P." is going to focus on Bruce Wayne being revealed as Batman.
• "100% Alien" - Possible a reference to Martian Manhunter. Unlike Superman, Manhunter never felt accepted on Earth. He can't really walk among us as a human. He will always be 100% alien.
• "Who is Wonderdog?" - During the NY Comic Con it was stated that Wonderdog would be returning to the pages of Teen Titans.
• "You can go Home Again" - Reference to the JSA Annual where Powergirl heads to Earth-2.
• "Rockin Robins" - I"m pretty sure this is a reference to an Elseworlds story that featured Dick Grayson and Barbra Gordon as a crime fighting team. Not sure how it will play in to the current DC.
• "52 - 1 = 0" - Right now we have 52 Worlds in the DC Universe. The equation seems that if we lose one earth we lose them all in a chain reaction.
• "First Boy Last Boy" - Reference to Kamandi
• "He Wakes the World Ends" - The return of Darkseid brings the end of the World.
• "1 /JSA = 2" - The JSA is getting huge. It would only makes sense to break it in to two teams.

There's a lot of other clues on there but that's all I've got so far. Please add your thoughts and ideas to this post.

DC Universe 0

*SPOILERS AHOY*

DC Universe 0 is many things. It's an introduction to the current state of the DC Universe. It's a preview of all the major story arcs that DC has planned for the next couple months. It's a collaboration between writers Grant Morrison and Geoff Johns. It's only 50 cents. Not to mention it's also the rumored return of Barry Allen.

In DC Universe 0 we get a small preview of "Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds", "Batman R.I.P.", upcoming Wonder Woman arc, "Green Lantern: Blackest Night Prelude", "Final Crisis: Revelations" and "Final Crisis"

For the cheap bastards that can't pay 50 cents for the book, here's what you're missing...

• The entire issue is presumably narrated by Barry Allen. Let me just make one thing clear before I go on. Barry Allen does NOT appear in this book at all. Grant Morrison and Geoff Johns have NOT been quoted saying that Barry Allen is in this book. Barry Allen in this book should be filed under "Crazy Ass Rumor, until Final Crisis".
• We get a summary of what happened in the previous two Crisis books. When describing the first Crisis we see the Anti Monitor displayed as the main protaginist. During the review of the second Crisis we see Superboy Prime. With the mention of Final Crisis we get a tease of Darkseid.
• In the preview for "Legion of Three Worlds" we get a cool shot of Brainiac and couple other Legioneers sitting around a crystal ball trying to locate help on another Earth. Very cool reference to the first meeting of the Justice Society of America and Justice League of America.
• When countdown started we were all under the impression that Joker was going to play the part of Hannibal Lecter. In the preview of "Batman R.I.P." we get an amazing scene between the Dark Knight and the Clown Price of Crime that perfectly puts Joker in the Hannibal role. Someone or some people are targeting Batman and possibly even Bruce Wayne. Batman has a hell of a fight coming.
• Wonder Woman: Meet the Spartans.
• In "Green Lantern: Blackest Night Prelude" I think we're seeing the rise of the first Black Lantern. Originally it was speculated that it would be a guy named Dorian from NY, it now seems to be someone else. Speculate away about who it might be, Conner Kent, Bart Allen, Dorian, or some other dead dude.
• There's a preview of the "Final Crisis: Revelations" that features the Spectre. The real interesting part is the one page ad for the book that features Dr.Light.
• The final preview is fittingly for "Final Crisis". This is the first appearance of Libra as he meets with the Rogues to make them an offer. Libra seems to be recruiting villains to join the side of a God. It's speculated that his God is Darkseid. Libra offers all that decide to follow his God will be granted their hearts desire.
• On the last page see lightening strike. We don't see Barry Allen, but we think he's narrating. READ THE BOOK YOU CHEAP BASTARD!!!

NY Comic Con 08

Unlike the previous year, the troops were ready for the New York Comic Con with digital cameras this year. Enjoy part 1 of NY Comic Con 08 "The Pictures"

If there was one person ready for the Con it was Shane-O-Mac. Shane's goal this year was very simple, kick the ass of any nerd who stepped over the line.

Kyle was more than pumped for the Con as can be seen by this look of pure energy. On a side note Kyle's face was stuck like this for the rest of the day.
Although he had aged horribly, Cee Diddy was also in a frantic daze about going to the Con.
Also joining us this year was a guy dressed as Batman. I wish we knew more about him but everytime we asked him his real named he would only reply, "I'm Batman". Eventually we ended up ditching "I'm Batman" at a White Castle in Manhattan.

Crazy Ass Speculation

Usually we like to offer "Crazy Ass Rumors" but after the NY Comic Con we have a lot to speculate about.

Batman R.I.P.

There was a lot of talk about "Batman R.I.P." in New York. Here's what know for sure:

• DC Comics is NOT killing Bruce Wayne! Dan Didio has stated this along with Grant Morrison and Bob Wayne. When it comes down to it, DC and Warner Bros. can't kill off Bruce Wayne when there's a summer blockbuster coming out.
• The entire Bat-Family will be taking part in this story, including Jason Todd, Hush, & Bat-Mite.
• Alex Ross has designed a new costume for Batman.

Okay those are the only things that we know for sure. There's plenty to speculate about though:

• Grant Morrison has stated that he would rather give a character problems to deal with instead of just killing them off. What would be a giant problem to give Batman? Why not out him as Bruce Wayne to the public? Worked out good in Daredevil. Speculation is running high that Morrison's upcoming story arc will have Bruce Wayne not only being outted as Batman, but also have the title character fake his own death to eliminate Bruce Wayne altogether. This would mean no more Bruce Wayne, and Batman would be Batman full-time.
• When you look back at all the work Morrison has done on Batman this makes a lot of sense. Even going back to Morrison's JLA run, Morrison has always beleived that Batman was the real person and that Bruce Wayne is his true mask.

When it happens next month let it be known that CeeDiddyHolla is calling it first. Bruce Wayne gets outted as Batman, which will lead to the "death" of Bruce Wayne so that Batman can be Batman full-time.

FINAL CRISIS

Another DC event that everyone is speculating about is Final Crisis. Let's start with what we know:

• Final Crisis is being written by Grant Morrison and drawn by J.G. Jones.
• This is the story of what happens when evil wins.
• A major character dies in the first issue of Final Crisis.

DC was very tight lipped about details about Final Crisis but gave us lots to speculate about:

• Martian Manhunter will be killed off in the first issue of Final Crisis.
• The New Gods return in their Fifth World form.
• Darkseid's fifth world form will be so powerful that when he comes to take over the world, he will succeed.
• The DC universe is heading in to dark times. Darkseid takes over and gives everyone a choice, submit or resist.
• Heroes will become villains and vice-verse

Hell Has Frozen Over!

The next step in the world take over of CeeDiddyHolla has been taken.

The official CeeDiddyHolla MySpace has been created and is ready to bring in a dozen or more readers.

Finally CeeDiddyHolla will upgrade from two lowly readers (no offense Shane and Kyle)

Once the site is being viewed by dozens or readers I will disregard my two loyal readers for all the new adoring fans.

So if you're finding this site for the first time because of Rupert Murdoch's genius MySpace, then I welcome you and please ignore the comments of my previous peon readers (once again no offense Shane and Kyle)

Let the revolution begin and send your friend requests to:
