| Geek Gear: Doctor Who Shirt ‘Don’t Blink’ Posted: 07 Feb 2011 10:29 PM PST  The t-shirt deal of the day over at RIPT Apparel is a Doctor Who-inspired shirt called "Don't Blink."

The piece is called "Don't Blink" and is based on the Doctor Who Season 3 episode titled Blink, which featured the "weeping angels." [...]            |
| Watch Wayne & Garth Reunite For ‘Wayne’s World’ On SNL Posted: 07 Feb 2011 08:23 PM PST  Saturday Night Live alum Dana Carvey came back to the late night sketch show this past Saturday to host the show. Carvey had a lot of great characters as an SNL castmember from 1986 to 1993, like The Church Lady and Hans the bodybuilder (who wants to pump... you up), but the comedian is best known for playing long-haired metalhead Garth Algar, co-host of the Aurora, Illinois, cable access show Wayne's World (party time, excellent!). To open Saturday's show, Carvey reunited with his Wayne's World counterpart Mike Myers for a special Oscar Picks episode. Watch the Wayne's World skit here [...]      |

| Super Bowl Trailer For Steven Spielberg’s Dinosaur Series ‘Terra Nova’ Posted: 07 Feb 2011 02:58 PM PST  If you're one of the millions and millions who watched last night's Super Bowl, you saw the many commercials and movie trailers that were shown off. And if you didn't watch, you can see all of the big trailers right here at Geeks of Doom, of course. Another big first look was also shown last night, but this time it was for an upcoming TV series: Terra Nova. The show comes from executive producer Steven Spielberg, and tells the story of a family who travel back in time 85 million years through a portal created by scientists in the year 2149, where life on Earth is facing extinction. The family goes through the portal to the first human colony -- called Terra Nova -- where they will attempt to set humankind off in a better direction, but will have to deal with some major obstacles, including dinosaurs. You can see the first trailer for Terra Nova, which is set to debut this fall on Fox, by clicking on over to the other side now! [...]      |

| See The Boy Behind The Darth Vader Mask In ‘The Force’ Commercial Posted: 07 Feb 2011 10:07 AM PST  One of the most talked-about Super Bowl commercials last night was the one for Volkswagen called "The Force" which showed a small child dressed as Star Wars villain Darth Vader, attempting to use The Force to move objects around the house. The commercial got everyone buzzing, wondering, who is the child behind the mask. The actor appeared on this morning's Today Show, lifting the mask to reveal an adorable 6-year-old blond boy named Max Page. Watch the video of little Max on The Today Show here below, and learn about the struggles he's had to endure so far in his short life. There's no doubt we'll be routing for him! The TV spot shown during the game was a truncated version of the commercial, which I guess did its job in getting the word out about the car (which, honestly, I couldn't tell you which model it was for), but failed to convey the heart that the full version did. You can watch the full one-minute commercial here [...]      |
| Cobie Smulders To Join S.H.I.E.L.D. In Joss Whedon’s ‘Avengers’? Posted: 07 Feb 2011 09:09 AM PST  In a recent interview Samuel L. Jackson revealed that he would be reading as Nick Fury in auditions with actresses for an unspecified role in The Avengers. The logical assumption for any comic book fan is that the role must be for Maria Hill, the ruthless hero-hating soldier that eventually took the role of leader of S.H.I.E.L.D. from Fury. Deadline has confirmed those fan boy assumptions. Deadline reports that Cobie Smulders, best known for her role as Robin Scherbatsky on the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother, is nearing a deal to take the role. Avengers director Joss Whedon actually considered Smulders for the role of Wonder Woman during his short stint working on that project [...]      |
| The Beatles Invaded America 47 Years Ago Today Posted: 07 Feb 2011 07:54 AM PST  February 7, 1964: Beatlemania Begins It was a cold February day at the newly-renamed John F. Kennedy Airport in New York City. At about 1:20PM, Pan Am flight 101 landed to the excitement of the 3,000 screaming fans who had been waiting patiently all morning. Four young lads from Liverpool, England, were about to step onto U.S. soil and change the world forever. The Beatles had arrived in America. The British Invasion had begun. Timing played a huge role in the Beatles success in the United States. It's easy to forget that when the Fab Four arrived, Americans were still mourning the loss of their slain President John F. Kennedy, who had been shot down less than three months prior. Violence in Vietnam was escalating rapidly. The country desperately needed a distraction from the harsh realities they had been made to face [...]      |
