Happy ‘Doctor Who’ Day 2010 Posted: 23 Nov 2010 02:57 PM PST Happy Doctor Who Day! It was on this day, 47 years ago, the British public was first exposed to an eccentric old Time Lord known only as the Doctor in Doctor Who, with William Hartnell being the first man to take on the moniker in the first episode of the series, titled An Unearthly Child. Initially designed as a science fiction television show for children that would focus on history and science, nobody behind the scenes back in 1963 could have possibly conceived how much of a phenomenon that Doctor Who would become. In the years since its initial launch, the universe of Doctor Who has expanded significantly, giving rise to a detailed mythos that would form to become the lore and legends of the Time Lords of Gallifrey -- a foundation to the Who saga that rivals many other science fiction tales around the world that people have followed [...]

Must Watch: Christmas Light Show Set To Slayer’s ‘Raining Blood’ Posted: 23 Nov 2010 01:54 PM PST In case you didn't know, Slayer is one of my favorite bands in the world. As much as I love them dearly, I've never found a way to incorporate their headbanging music into my holidays. But a Southern California Slayer fan did manage it -- by setting up a Christmas light show on the front of his house synchronized to Slayer's "Raining Blood." See below for the video of the greatest holiday light show ever. First of all: best neighbor ever. As if it wasn't already the coolest shit when the double-bass drums kick in on the song, now to experience it with holiday visuals? I have to say: so fucking awesome! To the people who live directly across the street from this guy: Please sell me your house. Happy Christmas in Purgatory! \m/\m/ [...]

‘Pirates Of The Caribbean’ Director Gore Verbinski To Join Johnny Depp On ‘The Lone Ranger’ Posted: 23 Nov 2010 01:02 PM PST For a while now, director Gore Verbinski has been hovering around Disney's new feature take on the tale of The Lone Ranger. According to Deadline, who first heard word of Verbinski's possible involvement, rumor has become fact, and he will indeed be directing the movie. We first heard of a new Lone Ranger movie in March of 2008, and later that year during a big Walt Disney event it was revealed that Johnny Depp was also involved, set to play the Ranger's faithful sidekick, Tonto. Verbinski directed the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy for Disney, but decided not to take on their upcoming fourth installment in the franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, so that he could take on the proposed video game adaptation, BioShock. That project ended up having quite a few complications and Verbinski stepped away from it too to direct his animated feature, Rango, which also features the voice of Depp. [...]

Blu-ray Review: Elf: The Ultimate Collection Posted: 23 Nov 2010 10:49 AM PST Elf Ultimate Collector's Edition Blu-ray Directed by Jon Favreau Starring Will Ferrell, Zooey Deschanel, James Caan, Peter Dinklage Warner Bros Home Entertainment Release date: October 26, 2010 Ask any Will Ferrell fan about his movies, and they most definitely will be able to quote lines from it, almost verbatim. Some like his wacky turn as news reporter/lothario Ron Burgundy in Anchorman. Other prefers him as Ricky Bobby in Talladega Nights. For me, my favorite movie from the Ferrell library is Elf, his first major movie and box office success. So, with the holidays right around the corner, it is no surprise that the movie would be re-released on Blu-ray as an Ultimate Collector's Edition. Elf stars Will Ferrell as Buddy, a human who when he was just a baby, hopped into Santa's sleigh and was whisked to the North Pole. Because he was an orphan, an old wise elf (Bob Newhart) decides to raise him as his own. Fast forward 30 years, when Buddy discovers that not only is he not an elf, but his real human father is in New York City. Hoping to reconnect with the father he never knew he had, Buddy embarks on a quest to the Big Apple one special Christmas season [...]

Comic-Con 2011 Registration Failure, Take Two Posted: 23 Nov 2010 09:50 AM PST For chronic procrastinators wishing to attend the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con, there is some good and bad news. The good news is that there are plenty of badges left but the bad news is that no one can currently purchase them because the official registration page has crashed. This is the second attempt at opening up registration, the first being a little less than a month ago, which was scraped due to an initial crash. Whatever issues they have with the process is apparently dire enough this time that the organization hasn't rescheduled. Comic-Con issued the following official statement via their website [...]

‘Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows’ Ron & Hermione Flirting Scene Will Be On DVD Posted: 23 Nov 2010 07:00 AM PST For over a year now, there has been a lot of talk about nude scenes and romantic moments making it into the two Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows films, which will end the series [Read 'Harry Potter' Star's Nude Scene Confirmed For 'Deathly Hallows']. Now that Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 1 is out in theaters, we finally got to see how provocative director David Yates took the seventh film. But, the director has revealed that a lot more was going on romantically in the uncut version of the film, which will be included in the eventual DVD release. According to Yates, there's 10-15 minutes of extra footage, some of which involves Ron and Hermione flirting by the sea, where Ron teaches Hermione how to skip stones across the water [...]
