Man I love Nerds. I haven’t completely figured out my own official designation yet. I am a hybrid, perhaps leaning into Nerd a bit from my previous mostly Geek. Doesn’t really matter though. We both rule the world. So you plan on vacationing on HOTH, the icy, desolate and cavey Rebel base last featured in “The Empire Strikes Back”. You’re asking yourself, if I get caught outside the base after sundown and I’m feeling a bit chilly, how do I keep frost free until morning?

Denzel Washington Interviewed On The Book Of Eli
The Book is just about upon us and we have a big and juicy interview with Denzel Washington for you. In it, Mr. Eastwood, er, Mr. Washington gives us some interesting bits from the movie including insights into his training, old people sporting Ak-47′s and this interesting tidbit:
Star Wars And A-Team Video Mashup: A Possible Sneak Peek At The New Live Action Series?
Oh, please god, don’t let George see this. This is a wickedly executed A-Team and Star Wars video mashup that is perfectly done and also, perfectly cheesy. If George sees it, I’m certain he’ll feel compelled to be ah, influenced by it.
Asian Girls, Sci-Fi And MotorCycles: A Utopian Future
In the future, stunning Asian women own the streets of your shiny plastic metropolis, injecting that vital chaos into your life that keeps you from succumbing to a mindless, politically correct drone-life.
As you’ll see in the gallery below. The girls come fully equipped with aerodynamically accessible leather, transparent latex nylons, jet-packs and some heavy weapons. Whatever you do, don’t jay walk mister. Thanks io9.
Sam Worthington is Flash Gordon. Okay, Probably Not.
Sam Worthington in talks for the “Flash Gordon” movie? Okay, probably not, but one of the gazillion gossip sites out there says they heard things, and since that’s apparently good enough for them, it’s good enough for us. Just remember that if it turns out to be complete and utter bullshit, it’s not our fault. But if it does end up being true, keep in mind that we were on top of it! In any case, according to Hollyscoop, here’s the word on the street — and of course by “street” I mean the coffee shops of L.A.:
Space, The Fishy Frontier?
After a bottle or two of Romulan ale, Sulu apparently took a wrong turn and drove the Enterprise into the deep end of someones pool. Will the shields hold?
StarGate Universes Ming-Na On Being A Sci-Fi Lesbian
Ming-Na is apparently Science Fictions first lesbian. I’ve been wracking my brain with it’s densely contained and massive archived data store of lesbian television and movie lore and my god man, she just may be right! This singular-ness is a crime against Sci-Fi that must be immediately remedied with more Ming-Na, more lesbians and more breathless, vaguely lecherous editorials!
Mark Strong Dishes Deep On John Carter Of Mars
Mark Strong is an actor I really like. He’s been great in everything I’ve seen him in lately (Sherlock Holmes, RockNRolla) and he’s now about to play Matai Shang in “John Carter Of Mars” written and directed by Andrew Stanton, the incredibly talented writer of “Wall-E”, “Finding Nemo”, “Monster’s Inc”, etc.
Big Apple Quicktime Version Of Inception Trailer
This morning some dumb ass in an 18 wheeler rounded a curve near my house a wee bit too fast, overturned and obliterated an apparently important telephone pole, somehow crucial for many blocks of electricity delivery. So my power has been out and I’ve had the sweats. I live in Canada and yes, it’s cold. Power out in the city is a thought provoking thing.
Kai Blackwood’s Grey Skies Trailer Attacks
The guys over at QuietEarth have located the first trailer for Kai Blackwood’s sci-fi/horror movie “Grey Skies”. It’s your usual story: college buds go to an isolated cabin for the holiday and some drinking, pot smoking, and sex, only to end up confronted with a menace … from outer space!!!! It’s sort of like “The Thing”, minus Kurt Russell. And, er, snow. Check out a trailer for it below. Looks creepy, and could potentially be a pretty nice indie production to add to your collection of bad doing aliens.
How Denzel Washington Got Even Badder For The Book Of Eli
So after the fine, fine, pre-Xmas entertainment that was “Avatar”, we now turn our Sci-Fi attentions to the next big Sci-Fi flick coming our way in the form of the grim, dusty, post enlightened civilization road movie, “The Book Of Eli”, starring our man Denzel Washington as a high plains drifter firm and fully packed with the skills and hardware required to lay down the law on all those radiated, diseased or just plain mal-adjusted enough to want to take what Denzel has sworn to protect.
First Pics From the Alien Invasion Movie Battle: Los Angeles
Wow, how long have I been waiting for something — anything — from this movie? Well here it is, the first pics from the set, including our very first look at Aaron Eckhart as a battle-hardened trooper leading his squad against some nasty alien invaders on the streets of Los Angeles, which is currently shooting in, er, Louisiana. Hey, it’s Hollywood. Directed by Jonathan Liebesman, the film co-stars Michelle Rodriguez, Bridget Moynahan, Lucas Till, Taylor Handley, and Michael Peña. The “Battle” rages February 2011. Via I09.
Jude Law in a Bloody, Action-Packed Repo Men Trailer
So there’s this sci-fi movie called “Repo Men”, starring Jude Law, Forest Whitaker, and Liev Schreiber. From what I can tell, it looks like a pretty expensive, slick, big-budget sci-fi action movie, too. And, um, I didn’t know it existed until now. Go figure. Check out a red band trailer for “Repo Men”, which looks a lot like “Logan’s Run” with human organs. The film has Jude Law playing, from what I can tell, his first ever leading man role in what is a full blown action movie. No real method acting here, just pure sci-fi action and spraying blood. Lots of that in the future when you’re dealing with guys who repossesses human organs — by literally cutting them out of their “wearers”.
An International Trailer For Inception
It’s in French but that’s ok, turn the sound down because it is really, really good. There’s so much stuff in there it’s hard to pick a highlight but I’d go with the city curling up like paper deal or maybe the freight train going down the middle of the city street. How does that grab you Joey?
Stargate Universe 1.0 DVD Artwork and Specs
As they are wont to do, the SyFy Channel has released the first half of their original show “Stargate: Universe”, aka “Stargate: Universe 1.0″ on DVD. Check out the full specs and artwork for the standard DVD and Blu-ray versions below. The big draw? An extended version of the pilot episode, with never-before-seen footage. “Stargate: Universe 1.0″ arrives on store shelves February 9, 2010. And yes, I am extremely curious about that special feature called “[Lieutenant Vanessa] James in the Shower”, for purely, you know, journalistic reasons, of course.
