| Digital Deal: Star Trek: Insurrection Posted: 25 Oct 2010 05:33 AM PDT  Amazon is offering up Star Trek: Insurrection for purchase for only $3.99 through their Video On Demand service. This digital deal is only for today, Monday, October 25 until midnight PST, so grab it while you can. The digital version is regularly $9.99, and the 24-hour rental is $2.99. Visit the Star Trek: Insurrection product page to purchase the film. Released in 1998, First Contact is the ninth film in the Star Trek franchise and the third with the full cast of the Star Trek: The Next Generation television series, starring Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard. Its predecessor, First Contact, was a big hit, but this follow-up failed to thrill the fans. Synopsis: When the crew of the Enterprise learn of a Federation plot against the inhabitants of a unique planet, Capt. Picard begins an open rebellion. [...]            |
| All Fall Down: A Look At The Masterful Dominoes Of ‘V For Vendetta’ Posted: 24 Oct 2010 05:32 PM PDT  Tonight, the FX Network showed V for Vendetta, the 2006 Wachowski Brothers film based on the graphic novel by Alan Moore and David Lloyd. While watching V For Vendetta, I realized that the movie has one of the coolest domino-knockdown scenes ever. The pattern was created using thousands of black and red dominoes, which form the shape of a V within a circle -- the symbol of the film's protagonist, V (played by Hugo Weaving) -- and took four professional domino assemblers 200 hours to build. In a pivotal sequence in the film, we see the vigilante V finishing up the pattern, while Inspector Finch (Stephen Rea) tells a colleague what he thinks V's plans are (there's also flashes to the chaos in the city that V has already caused). The montage then shows V "touching-off" the domino pattern in what results in a visually stunning moment in the film. You can watch a video below from YouTube that someone created by editing together only the scenes with the dominoes [...]      |
| Geek Humor: ‘Star Wars’ Parody Comic Strip ‘Blue Milk Special’ Posted: 24 Oct 2010 01:31 PM PDT  We here at Geeks of Doom love our sci-fi movies like Star Wars and Star Trek, but another thing we love is parodies of these movie franchises. May I introduce to you Blue Milk Special, a Star Wars comic strip parody site. Not only does this site do parodies of the events in the films, but it also spoofs all the Expanded Universe titles and characters. The featured strip for this month is the Splinter of the Mind's Eye, which is currently up to part 12. While this site, like the site Motion Picture Comics, parodies this beloved series, it does pay tribute to it at the same time and makes us ask questions like, "How is Darth Vader able to drink coffee?" Not only does this site poke fun at mainstream characters it also brings the secondary characters to the spotlight by giving us a little insight in their lives. Readers will see that not only did Greedo go after Han Solo, but so did his cousins after his death. In another strip we see Boba Fett riding a dinosaur and someone calling him a "badass" for taming it but the punchline is that he rented it for $20 an hour [...]      |
