Composer Hans Zimmer helmed the score for the upcoming Superman film Man of Steel, and the movie’s heartfelt approach to the almost-invincible superhero called for an appropriately optimistic yet yearning soundtrack. Listen exclusively to “DNA,” where Zimmer reaches into Superman’s human identity and Kansas upbringing for a tense, frantic track that captures the glory of Middle America.

I’m pretty excited about this; Hans Zimmer is definitely my favorite film composer.

This just happened.

There are more charts if you click through.

We’d like to note that Tom Hanks is the exception.

Holy Shit! This is what I’ve been talking about for the last couple weeks with my girlfriend, especially after we watched The Incredible Burt Wonderstone.

Robert Downey Jr. attempts a traditional Bavarian dance while wearing lederhosen at the Iron Man 3 photocall in Germany. And yes, this is real life.

I am so happy that they got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (although it was with lots of lobbying and a lot of cash, as Penn described in his podcast, ha). I really can’t wait to see them perform in July.

Mar 24, 1874: Happy Birthday Harry Houdini!

On this day in 1874, Ehrich Weisz, or as we know him – Harry Houdini, was born in Budapest, Hungary. Houdini left home at seventeen to begin his magic career. He caused a lot of commotion as he continuously escaped from policemen, whether he was in handcuffs or behind bars. Throughout his career, Houdini amazed audiences through his performances involving straitjackets and coffins as well as his appearances in film.

Curious to know how he escaped? Visit American Experience’s Escape Secrets.

Happy Birthday to the man who made magic an art form and debunked the impossibly ludicrous mysticism of his time.
