Peter Jackson, ‘The Hobbit’ Finally Get Greenlight; Martin Freeman, David Tennant, Michael Fassbender For Roles?

Posted: 16 Oct 2010 06:49 PM PDT



It feels like the two-part adaptation of The Hobbit has been given the greenlight about twelve times at this point, but each and every time sees an immediate step back to the "not quite yet" status.

Recently it sounded like an official greenlight was on the horizon with Peter Jackson locked in to direct after Guillermo del Toro had to step away, and it appears that these words were no lie. Many outlets are hearing and reporting that yes, The Hobbit has now been given the official OK, with Jackson still attached despite his ongoing feud with unions causing a bit of a hiccup.

Even with this announcement sounding like "the one" everyone has been waiting for, some still feared that there was reason to believe that this was STILL not official. Because of how often we've been teased and toyed with, we might have just ignored this news until there was something more solid, but thankfully a nice and neat press release has been sent out to the masses to calm worrying hearts.

Geek Humor: ‘Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan’ Parody Comic Strip

Posted: 16 Oct 2010 12:17 PM PDT

Trek Comic

The good folks over at Motion Pictures Comics are at it again with another parody and this time its Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. I must say that this is one of the funniest comic strips I have ever read and I love how they use the environment as one joke after another.

The series took a swipe at the Trek universe back in May 2009 with their parody of the latest Star Trek film [Read Geek Humor: 'Star Trek' Parody Comic Strip].

The team over at Motion Pictures Comics is one of a kind and I love their work. Every Star Trek fan should check this out and let us know what you think. It jokes about the movie, but pays tribute to it at the same time [...]

LOST: The Complete Collection DVD

Lost: The Complete Collection
DVD | Blu-ray
Created by Damon Lindelof, Carlton Cuse, J.J. Abrams
Starring Matthew Fox, Terry O' Quinn, Josh Holloway, Evangeline Lilly, Jorge Garcia
Release Date: August 24, 2010

It has been several months since the season finale of Lost, but fans are still buzzing about the finale. Some fans loved it and felt satisfied by the ending, while others felt cheated by it, as though they've wasted six years of their life. Me? I was just waiting for Lost: The Complete Series box set to come out. I had a feeling that the producers of the hit show would go the distance to give Lost the proper DVD sendoff it deserves, and boy did they ever.

For those unfamiliar with the show, the series follows a group of passengers from Oceanic Flight 815 after their plane crash lands them on a beautiful and mysterious island. Realizing that until someone finds and rescues them, the surviving members need to learn to live together or die alone. Along they way they meet up with polar bears (yes polar bears!), underground tunnels, smoke monsters, and the mysterious group of people who landed on the island before them, called The Others [...]
