Sneak Peek: Watch 15 Seconds Of ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part 1′ Trailer Posted: 09 Sep 2011 08:24 PM PDT Apparently, Summit Entertainment is going to show us bits and pieces of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 in tiny increments, as they've just released a teaser clip from the film's upcoming theatrical trailer. Watch all 15 seconds here below. The teaser clip, in my opinion, is spoilerific, but then again, I feel like everything about this movie has already been revealed [...]

North Carolina Comic Shop Owner Bans ‘Action Comics’, Then Lifts Ban Posted: 09 Sep 2011 05:44 PM PDT In the most ridiculous news story related comic books this week, North Carolina-based retailer The Comic Conspiracy bans the newly relaunched Action Comics and then lifts the ban two days later. Why did he ban the comic? Well, in case you don't read comics, apparently there has been a socialist left-wing liberal agenda that has populated comic books over the past 75 years. And it all came to a head on Wednesday when the Grant Morrison-scripted Action Comics showed Superman utter the horribly offensive "GD." The shock of reading Superman being hit by an explosion and grunting crossed the line for the comic retailer as he took to his Facebook page and let those commies know what's what. Here's a series of those Facebook posts here below.

Christopher Lloyd Returns As Doc Brown For Argentinian Electronics Store Commercial Posted: 09 Sep 2011 03:48 PM PDT Christopher Lloyd has decided to reprise his greatest role as an actor in one of the most unusual of all venues. Reverend Jim from Taxi? No. Judge Doom from Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Try again. That exposition-spouting weirdo from Piranha 3D? Three strikes and YER OUT!!!! No, Lloyd has returned to his role as Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown from the immortal Back to the Future trilogy, but this time he won't be joined on his adventure by Michael J. Fox. He's not even doing this for a movie. Lloyd is playing the good yet kooky scientist and inventor of the flux capacitor (which makes time travel possible, naturally) in a new commercial for Garbarino's, an electronics store chain in Argentina. You can watch the full commercial here [...]

‘Super’…The Animated Series?! Posted: 09 Sep 2011 02:49 PM PDT James Gunn, the former Troma Films writer who hit pay dirt with the script for the 2004 Zack Snyder-directed remake of Dawn of the Dead and made his directorial debut in 2006 with the sci-fi horror comedy Slither, has uncovered something very interesting which he linked to his Twitter feed just recently. Animation company Toonsmyth Productions has put together a 90-second video trailer for a mock cartoon based on Gunn's most recent film, the subversive superhero comedy Super that starred Rainn Wilson as a lonely and disturbed man who becomes a costumed crimefighter named the Crimson Bolt, in the hope that some network might pick it up for a series, possibly the Cartoon Network for their Adult Swim line-up. You can watch the video here [...]

‘Warhammer 40k: Space Marine’ Demo Slapped Me Upside The Face Posted: 09 Sep 2011 11:30 AM PDT Do you salivate at the thought of slaying Orks? Are your dreams filled with thoughts of Chainswords (that is right, a sword that's also a chainsaw)? Jet packs do anything for you? Are you ready and willing to save a Universe, but just don't know where to start? Do you love the Warhammer 40k series? Good news, my friends! Breakthrough video game technology has just been made available that can help you realize your wants and dreams, just as they've helped me. Warhammer 40K: Space Marine was released on September 6 for Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC. Sadly, I have not actually bought the game yet, but there is a free demo available on Steam [...]

Gerard Butler and Lena Heady Back For ’300′ Sequel? Posted: 09 Sep 2011 10:30 AM PDT It may not be much, but it appears as though two of the stars of Zack Snyder's 300 may in fact be back for its sequel. Entitled 300: Battle Of Artemisia, producer Bernie Goldmann told Movies.com that there is a pair of roles set in place in the film for its original stars, Lena Heady and Gerard Butler. The two starred in the original as the husband and wife who spearhead the film's narrative, which was both surrounded by a true story (based on the Frank Miller graphic novel), but never worried about expanding a story or facts to make it more, well, cinematic [...]

How Cute! Creepy Little Sam From ‘Trick ‘r Treat’ Is Heading Back To School, Too Posted: 09 Sep 2011 09:30 AM PDT I don't recall Back To School being equated with Halloween, but all this week, all I've been hearing about is how kids are going back to school and what Halloween costumes they should wear. Therefore, director Michael Dougherty's new promo for the Trick 'r Treat Halloween marathon at FEARnet is quite appropriate. In the new promo, Sam, the movie's little terror in a burlap sack mask, is also heading back to school, though his schoolmates might want to watch what they do around him. Watch the new promo video here below, which really is so adorable... in a creepy way [...]

Fox and Dreamworks Teaming Up For Steven Spielberg’s ‘Robopocalypse’ Posted: 09 Sep 2011 08:50 AM PDT Who better to force two studios to team up than one Steven Spielberg. According to THR, both Fox and DreamWorks will be co-financing Spielberg's upcoming sci-fi film, Robopocalypse. The film will be hitting theaters on July 3, 2013, and will be based on the novel penned by Daniel H. Wilson. The story follows "the fate of the human race following a robot uprising," and while the premise may sound cliche, the idea of Spielberg jumping back into the world of sci-fi action films really makes this one project to keep a huge eye on [...]

‘Wolverine’ Sequel Being Held Back…Again? Posted: 09 Sep 2011 07:53 AM PDT First losing a director, and now this. After falling victim to a bit of a delay following the departure of then director Darren Aronofsky, the much talked about sequel, The Wolverine, may have to wait even longer to see the light of day. In speaking to HitFix, producer Lauren Shuler Donner revealed that the film will likely be shooting in the late summer of next year, as star Hugh Jackman is more than a tad bit busy. With films like Les Miserables taking up a block of Jackman's time, the actor doesn't seem to be able to fit the franchise onto his plate for quite some time [...]

MP3 Album Deal: Pearl Jam’s ‘Ten’ Posted: 09 Sep 2011 06:22 AM PDT The MP3 album deal of the day over at Amazon today is Pearl Jam's 1991 debut album Ten for only $3.99. Math time: Typically, MP3 songs sell for $.99 each, which means in order for the $3.99 MP3 sale to be worth it for the buyer, there has to be at least four songs on the album worth having. In my opinion, every song on this album is awesome, but here's a few: There's the hits "Even Flow," "Alive," and "Jeremy"; throw in any other song on the album, and there's your justification for shelling out a mere 4 bucks for 12 songs. The album is also available on CD for only $6.99 [...]
