Is there anyone who WASN’T disappointed by the first trailer for Cameron’s “Avatar”? After all the hype, all the Comic Con reports, all the media falling to their knees after seeing the footage months earlier… Man, I expected more.
The trailer’s here in case you’re one of the 20 people in the world who still hasn’t seen it.
Who knew Dr. Horrible’s main squeeze Penny could get so sexy? If you’re a fan of Joss Whedon’s impossibly cool “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog ” web series, check out Penny herself (aka Felicia Day) in a music video called “Do you Wanna Date my Avatar”.
Captain Stargood brings back the good old days of the Thunderbirds and other sci-fi puppets of the 60′s where string was king. Thunderbirds was funny unintentionally of course while Captain Stargood aims for funny and gets it right. Must see stuff as Captain Stargood and Vera Buxley bounce around in black and white.

Somewhere out in the real world, in some nondescript mini mall or faceless industrial park, a corporation just like the fictitious Cyberdyne is accidentally engineering our doom by big metal things with teeth. All of this will be oblivious to the bosses of this fictitious Cyberdyne. Each little piece of our robotic destruction will be put together by many separate teams in other countries and by pale nerds in forgotten labs in dank basements. All the pieces will be assembled together all at once after a missed deadline by accountants and executives that can barely text on their Blackberrys. None of them will know which part does what or how they are supposed to be put together. This my Sci-Fi citizens, is how we got Vista.
Well you knew it had to happen, and so it has: someone has done a mash-up of “Terminator Salvation” and “Transformers” (“The Transforminators!”), and you know what? It looks better than the actual movie. Then again, what doesn’t look better than the actual movie? Anyways, I love how they incorporate the rest of the franchise into the second half of the clip. You think it’s going to be just the “Transformers 2″ and “Terminator Salvation” clips, but then BAM, they hit you with the rest. Awesome stuff.
Apparently the bearded one is none too happy about Star Trek taking the box office crown, and possibly knocking down his Star Wars to second place when it comes to viable sci-fi franchises. Check out what George has sent his minions to do. It ain’t pretty.
It is certainly one of the most anticipated films and one of a slew of productions digging into the nostalgia factor that have been quite successful as of late. Being one of the millions of 20 to 30 somethings holding their breath to see one of their favorite 80′s cartoons come to life, I have to say that I’ve been itching to see a trailer for this thing ever since it’s announcement.
Endy’s Onion post got me thinking about what made the Original Star Trek show so great. It’s scenes like this. Kirk vs. a man in a Lizard costume. It’s two minutes of hilarity, genius, and downright good times.
I might be taking this “Star Trek” movie a bit too seriously. The Onion reports on how Star Trek fans are outraged that our (my) beloved Sci-Fi fetish doesn’t suck, isn’t boring and features no nerdy bits that will make normal movie goers cross-eyed with fatal propeller-headed overload.
Because obviously nothing says “Star Trek” quite like Burger King. Right? Right? Ahem. I saw this commercial on TV and thought it was kinda cool, so here it is. J.J. Abrams’ Trek 11 reboot opens later this week on Friday, but then you probably already know that. Expect Trek toys with Burger King’s version of the Happy Meal. I don’t even know what they call it. Heh. He named his dog Tiberius.
So what can possibly be hotter than pretty girls who, for some strange reason, have an interest in “Star Wars” and doesn’t think you’re weird for dressing up as a Wookie and attending Star Wars conventions? Or cringe at your complete devotion to a short, bearded guy who lives on his own ranch and adopts kids by the dozens? How about hot girls who break out the lightsabers to compete for your attention.
We can only dream the form that Doom will assume when the end finally comes. Will it be Bot-ocalypse? Or will our brave new world begin in a fiery nuclear blast?
Couldn’t let this one get away. You ask yourself this burning question. “What do StormTroopers do when they are offduty?” Well wonder no more pilgrim. This mildly NSFW pictorial expose from Flickr tells all the juicy behind the scenes details. Check it out via Cinematical and then hyper-link your way over to the Greg The Bunny page at Flickr for even more Stormtrooper action.
Let’s face it, Optimus Prime is pretty old school. I mean, for God’s sake, he transforms into a big rig. You can’t get anymore traditional than that. Which is probably why when Optimus Prime gets killed and is rebuilt (which kinda happens a lot), chances are he won’t really “get” what’s happening around him, and is liable to clash with the newer model Transformers. Here are two videos cooked up by some “Transformers” fans that brings that point home.
