‘Dimebag’ Darrell: 7th Anniversary Of Pantera Guitarist’s Death Posted: 08 Dec 2011 06:09 AM PST Former Pantera and Damageplan guitarist 'Dimebag' Darrell died 7 years ago today. His murder was a story which shocked the whole rock and metal music world. Born Darrell Abbott on August 20, 1966 in Ennis, Texas, he formed the heavy metal band Pantera with his brother Vinnie Paul on drums in 1981. Finally settling on a line up encompassing lead singer Phil Anselmo and bass player Rex Brown, Pantera began as a glam metal band before changing their plan of attack with their seminal heavy metal album Cowboys From Hell in 1991 [...]

Make Your Own Lego Star Wars Ornaments Posted: 07 Dec 2011 09:06 PM PST I don't know about you, but I have my fair share of Star Wars ornaments hanging on my Christmas tree. But this one is real adorable. Lego crafter Chris McVeigh has created the Lego Star Wars Death Star ornament. Just look at the photo of it at top -- how cute! And you can make your own, as McVeigh has tutorials up for the Death Star as well as a Lego Millennium Falcon [...]

Watch Now: ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ 8-Minute Trailer Posted: 07 Dec 2011 08:05 PM PST Columbia Pictures has released an even longer trailer for the upcoming David Fincher film The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which you can watch here below. The 8-minute trailer was first made available last week at iTunes when the soundtrack went up for pre-order. Despite being more than three times longer than the average trailer, the extended scenes presented in this trailer (complete with an original score composed by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross) have a nice, orderly flow to them and don't reveal too much of the story [...]

Celebrate The Holidays With Free ‘Hack/Slash’ Posted: 07 Dec 2011 07:01 PM PST Tim Seeley and Image Comics are offering a very special holiday gift for all fans of horror, a free Hack/Slash digital comic book! I recently started reading Hack/Slash with the first omnibus from Image, but if I hadn't, this would have been a perfect way to start. And believe me, I know how long it can take someone to finally start reading a comic book as I've gone back and forth with Hack/Slash for a few years now considering the the fact that it's been in circulation for so many years, but this comic is quite simply a fun and awesome romp through horror. [...]

Watch Now: John Carpenter and the Coupe De Villes Stir Up ‘Big Trouble in Little China’ Posted: 07 Dec 2011 04:50 PM PST I guess we can all thank the 1960s for giving birth to the 1980s. When I look at most of the films, music, and literature made in the era of Reaganomics and legwarmers I can't help but think that excessive drug use played a major role in it all. Granted the roads and hills running in and around Hollywood were covered with so much cocaine the city's infrastructure closely resembled the snowy slopes of Switzerland, but it took a more powerful pharmaceutical product to grant those responsible for these cracked creative endeavors the delusion that what they were producing would never be seen as dated the moment it was released to the general public. The music video for the titular theme song to the 1986 kung fu/horror/fantasy/comedy hybrid Big Trouble in Little China easily falls into that category. You can watch that video, which is included as an extra feature on the film's Blu-ray, here [...]

First Trailer For The Farrelly Brothers’ Long-Awaited ‘Three Stooges’ Has Arrived Posted: 07 Dec 2011 02:47 PM PST The first trailer for the Farrelly Brothers' long-awaited and oft-troubled new take on The Three Stooges has arrived, and it is painful to watch. There was always a dim ray of hope that maybe the movie would end up surprising us with word that it would be in three segments and that they would be able to use the Three Stooges theme music, as well as rumored stars like Jim Carrey, Sean Penn, and Benicio Del Toro. But as you'll see, with stars Will Sasso, Sean Hayes, and Chris Diamantopoulos (not to mention Snooki from MTV's Jersey Shore, for some inexplicable reason) this is already the vandalization of a beloved classic we feared it would be. [...]

Comic Review: Flash Gordon Zeitgeist #1 Posted: 07 Dec 2011 12:04 PM PST Flash Gordon Zeitgeist #1 Plot and Script by Eric Trautmann Plot and Art Direction by Alex Ross Art by Daniel Indro Colors by Slamet Mujiono Letters by Simon Bowland Covers by Alex Ross, Paul Renaud, Francesco Francavilla, and Wagner Reis Dynamite Entertainment Release Date: November 30th, 2011 Cover Price: $1.00 Flash Gordon Zeitgeist #1 is really the perfect first issue. It introduces the characters and the world and gives you a sense of where the book is, and at the same time, will have you very anxious for the next issue. With a plot by Alex Ross and Eric Trautmann, the issue is perfectly scripted by Trautmann. There's a number of nods to previous incarnations of Flash Gordon, from the 1980 live-action movie to the incredibly done animated movie Flash Gordon The Greatest Adventure Of All produced by Filmation in 1982 [...]

Watch Now: Troy and Abed From ‘Community’ Rap About Infiltrating Christmas Posted: 07 Dec 2011 10:01 AM PST That time is almost upon us, my new favorite part of the Christmas season: the annual holiday (that's right Fox News, I said "holiday" - blow me) episode of my favorite television comedy series Community. You can check out a preview of the episode here below. Last year the show delivered a classic send-up of the Rankin-Bass stop-motion animated holiday specials of the 1960s while delving into the complex personality of the show's sweetly enigmatic pop culture obsessive Abed (Danny Pudi). This year finds Greendale Community College's most diverse (in more ways than one) study group getting involved in the school's annual Christmas pageant when the Greendale Glee Club gets sidelined [...]

The GoD List: Comics For December 7, 2011 Posted: 07 Dec 2011 08:04 AM PST Each and every week "William Wallace" MK2Fac3 and "Wallace William" Henchman21 read a lot of comics. Seriously you guys, a lot of comics. Maybe too many comics. I mean, it is possible… theoretically. They look forward to some more than others, I mean, who doesn't? So, let's take a look into the depths of their pull lists, grab some comics, and we'll let YOU know what the top books to look forward to are for the week of December 7, 2011. Single issues and trades, they're all here. Two men enter. One man leaves. These are the rules of any cage match that does not feature more than two opponents. However, if the "fight to the death" stipulation is invoked, then the rules will be changed slightly into this: Two men enter. One man lives [...]

The Avengers Vs. The X-Men: It’s Happening Posted: 07 Dec 2011 07:24 AM PST Pretty much every year, comic book publishers unleash a monthly event comic to boost excitement and sales in their comics. And this week Marvel Comics announced that event as The Avengers vs. The X-Men. Now, I'm not quite sure how, but more on that later. Avengers Vs. X-Men will be a bi-weekly, six-month comic coming in at a total of 12 issues and features some of the biggest names in comics [...]
