Watch Now: Geeks Go Wild In New Music Video ‘Tonight I’m Frakking You’

Posted: 18 Feb 2011 06:56 PM PST



A new video from Break.com is making it's way around the web, and it's...interesting, to say the very least.

The video is a spoof on the Enrique Inglesias song "Tonight I'm Loving You" dubbed "Tonight I'm Frakking You," which replaces all the rhythmic sex of an Inglesias video with about as much geek content as humanly possible. No lie, friends, this is an all-geek wildfire, featuring cosplay fun from comic book superheros, Star Wars, Super Mario Brothers, Ghostbusters, Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, and more.

You'll even find a few familiar faces involved like Kunal Nayaar from Big Bang Theory, a brief cameo from BSG alum Richard Hatch, Amy Okuda from The Guild, and the absolute highest of high points of this video: Caprica star Alessandra Torresani as Princess Leia. Yes, that. You should go see. You can hug me later.

Be sure to click on over to the other side now to check out the video for "Tonight I'm Frakking You." [...]

James Franco Replaces Johnny Depp In ‘Wizard Of Oz’ Prequel; Mila Kunis To Play Wicked Witch

Posted: 18 Feb 2011 05:51 PM PST



Last we heard, Johnny Depp was in line to replace Robert Downey Jr. as the Wizard in director Sam Raimi's upcoming new take on the tale of The Wizard of Oz, being called Oz, The Great and Powerful.

Not long after that, Depp also removed himself from the project, making it one of those annoying situations where every name you could think of was likely to become attached. Instead, the next to be offered the role was James Franco, and at the moment this looks to be a done deal. As good as Franco is, it is still a step down from Depp, who was himself a step down from Downey Jr., who seemed to be the perfect fit as the man who finds himself swept away to the magical lands of Oz, where he solidifies himself as an all-powerful wizard.

As it turns out, it took a little bit of sway in the form of another casting to lock up Franco's services. Walt Disney was able to reach out to Black Swan star Mila Kunis and lure her away from the live-action Akira remake to play their Wicked Witch of the West. [...]

Willow and Elora Danan Together Again?

Posted: 18 Feb 2011 02:00 PM PST

Willow and Elora Danan

There's an image on Buzzfeed titled "Willow And Elora Danan, 24 Years Later" with no image credit or caption. The man in the photo is actor Warwick Davis, who played the title role in the 1988 fantasy film Willow; the image title insinuates that the woman in the photo is the actress who played the baby Elora Danan in the film over two decades ago.

In Willow, the role of Elora Danan was actually played by infant twin girls, Ruth and Kate Greenfield, but there's no mention as to which of the sisters is in this new photo [...]

Internet Responds To Nathan Fillion: HelpNathanBuyFirefly.com

Posted: 18 Feb 2011 11:40 AM PST



How powerful is Nathan Fillion, the actor who portrayed Captain Malcolm Reynolds in the short-lived sci-fi television show Firefly?

Powerful enough so that fans take any suggestion to resurrect the show literally despite a highly unlikely success rate. For instance, Fillion's recent interview with Entertainment Weekly [READ: Attention Browncoats: 'Firefly' To Return To Cable; Is This Our Last Chance To Save It?].

To most people mourning the death of a favorite creative project, saying something like "If I got $300 million from the California Lottery, the first thing I would do is buy the rights to Firefly, make it on my own, and distribute it on the Internet" wouldn't imply that this could ever reasonably be done.

However, the internet has responded with the launch of HelpNathanBuyFirefly.com, which offers the following plan of action [...]
