‘Jodorowsky’s Dune’ Will Give Us A Mind-Blowing Glimpse Into The Greatest Sci-Fi Film Never Made Posted: 14 Feb 2012 07:00 PM PST The first clip from the forthcoming documentary Jodorowsky's Dune has been released. You can watch it here below. The universe works in perplexing ways, especially when it comes to the cinema. There have been more than a few books written about the great films that went unmade for a variety of complex and infuriating reasons. I own three of the best books about the subject: David Hughes' The Greatest Sci-Fi Movies Never Made, Tales from Development Hell, and Chris Gore's The 50 Greatest Movies Never Made. [...]

Then chances are your Valentine already knows how much, so why not use your love of the game to show them how deep your love is for them with these Skyrim-themed Valentine's Day ecards. Artist Jemma Salume made up a bunch of Skyrim-themed Valentine's Day ecards, so put down the controller for a few seconds, and send one of these messages, that contain sentiments like "I am sworn to be your Valentine" and "I used to be an adventurer like you...then I took an arrow in the heart." Or, maybe send one of these to your Skyrim addict to get them to step away from the game on this holiday of love [...]

Watch Brandon Routh & Bret Harrison Blast Monsters In SciFi Short ‘Cost of Living’ Posted: 14 Feb 2012 03:00 PM PST Cost of Living was one of the most popular features at last year's Fantastic Fest, a tongue-in-cheek short film that paid homage to the splattery tongue-in-cheek creature features of the 1980's and was written and directed by newcomer BenDavid Grabinski. Now the acclaimed short is online and you can watch the entire 9-minute film as well as a brief behind-the-scenes video here below. Brandon Routh (Superman Returns, Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World) and Bret Harrison (Reaper) play (respectively) Silas and Jerry, a pair of working stiffs employed by a scientific facility that often loses control of its "experiments" and thus must be put down violently [...]

Check Out These Valentine Messages From ‘Mr. Murder Is Dead’ Posted: 14 Feb 2012 02:15 PM PST The loving folks over at Archaia and the team behind the graphic novel Mr. Murder Is Dead sent out some really cool Valentine's Day digital cards. Check out the full sheet of Valentine's Day cards here below. I think my favorite one is "You put the VD in Valentine's Day" (an oldie, but goodie, no?).

5 Charitable Last-Minute Gift Ideas For Valentine’s Day Posted: 14 Feb 2012 11:36 AM PST Today is Valentine's Day and I, for one, really enjoy this holiday. I feel that any day that celebrates love is a good day. But, I know there are many people out there who hate it, including those who scream about "corporate greed!" and feel it's a holiday created by greeting card companies to guilt men into spending their hard-earned cash on overpriced cards, chocolates, flowers, and jewelry. Well, I can't argue with you there, as it is a big cash-in day for many industries (you Capitalists should love that). So, for those of you who don't want to give your money to corporate fat-cats or go along with the obligatory overpriced flowers and candy routine, then here's some last-minute charitable gifts you can give -- because let's face it, if you've been going on all year about how Valentine's Day sucks, then most likely haven't gotten your sweetie a gift yet. But hey, just because you're a non-conformist who hates sappy holidays doesn't mean you can't show the love, too, and not just for your partner, but for anyone in your life you care about. And, wouldn't giving to charity on Valentine's Day be a nice finger in the face to materialism? Yeah, go for it! Here's our list of 5 Charitable Last-Minute Gift Ideas For Valentine's Day [...]

And everybody loves the Evil Dead movies, right? So, you should love Army of Darkness #1, right? Right! Elliot Serrano takes a VERY different approach to this franchise, and I applaud him for that. He could have just gone with another run of the mill Ash vs. Deadites tale, but no, he made this issue fresh, different, and exciting [...]

But it's not just Tuesday, no sir or ma'am! It's more than Tuesday! While it is in fact true that it's Tuesday, it's also Valentine's Day!
