Eva Green

While Warner Brothers and Legendary Picture try and figure out who will step up and be the strong male lead in their 300 prequel, titled 300: Battle of Artemisia, they've gone out and found who they want to play the female lead.

It's being reported that negotiations have began with French actress Eva Green for the job, which would see her playing Artemisia, a "ruthless, gold-covered goddess" who pushes the God-king Xerxes to build his massive army. [...]

Covers by Alex Ross, Sean Chen, and Wagner Reis
Dynamite Entertainment
Release Date: December 7, 2011
Cover Price: $3.99


Every 5 to 7 years World Events Productions reboots Voltron for a new generation. And every 5 to 7 years I get really excited and then I get extremely let down. Well, not this time! Voltron #1 is the fresh take on the property that fans have been waiting for!

Writer Brandon Thomas writes a story that both stays true to the original concept, spirit, and execution of the classic Voltron story, yet throws in enough twists and turns to keep it fresh and very accessible to new readers [...]

Book Review: Darth Paper Strikes Back: An Origami Yoda Book

Posted: 17 Dec 2011 11:15 AM PST

Darth Paper Strikes Back

Darth Paper Strikes Back
An Origami Yoda Book
By Tom Angleberger
Amulet Books
Hardcover
Release Date: August 23, 2011


Darth Paper Strikes Back was extraordinarily entertaining. Granted, I went into it without much as far as expectations go. I was unsure how much I was going to enjoy a young adult novel, especially a sequel to another one I had never read. But, lo and behold, it was cute and I found myself reminiscing about my middle school years. Not that I had a lot of Star Wars stuff or anything. Okay, maybe I did, don't judge me! But in all honesty, the book deals more with interpersonal relations between students than with anything Lucasfilm-ish [...]

Video: Even The Fine Civilians Of ‘Skyrim’ Can’t Resist A Party Rock Anthem

Skyrim Party Rock Anthem

Ohhh, you rascally modders and your sorcery. I shall never understand how you do it.

Someone decided to take the simple people of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and turn them all into the next contestants of So You Think You Can Dance while LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem" blares out in the background. The results, suffice it to say, are rather hilarious. [...]

Maestro Vader

As far as flash mobs go, you won't find me personally crossing my fingers to see one break out...except of course if Star Wars baddie Darth Vader is leading the charge.

Students at Algonquin College recently, while stressing out about exams week, were surprised by the appearance of none other than the Sithian Dark Lord Vader himself, who used his Force Maestro skills to conduct the singing of "Carol of the Bells" by the Ottawa Regional Youth Choir. [...]
