Straight from their uber premiere, the leads of the Sci-Fi Original Picture sure-to-rule the box office Twilight…seem to share the same opinion of the film I do.
Complete and utter indifference.

Looks like we’ll be getting 26 episodes of norse god toon action, if Marvel has their way.
That’s right, in addition to the forthcoming Wolverine & The X-Men and Iron Man: Armored Adventures, everyone’s favorite thunder lord, Thor should be receiving a series in Autumn 2010, following that summer’s release of his film.
Personally, I’m always for whatever cartoons that will hit the air and inspire kids, as opposed to this Kids Next Door/Ben 10 crap. So let’s do this thing, Marvel!

Bet you thought I’d say that it looks “kick ass”, eh?
Kick-Ass, for those unawares, is the latest comic from the always controversial Mark Millar (Wanted, Marvel’s Civil War). In it, teenager Dave Lizewski decides to become a masked vigilante, and after a few bad run-ins with criminals, eventually becomes an online sensation.
The images above represent our first official look at the hero, and his ugly-ass green and yellow suit.
The flick sounds like it’s going to be remarkably close to the source material, so it should be interesting to see how it pans out.

In what has to be one of the coolest hoaxes/pranks ever done, a group of thousands, calling themselves “The Yes Men” distributed a fake version of the New York Times yesterday.
The edition, dated July 5, 2009, details an almost utopic vision for the future of the US, with the Iraq War over, the economy stablized, hell, even an apology for the WMD scares!
Unfortunately for us all, this isn’t reality yet, but as pranks go, this is definitely one of the more elaborate, and dare I say it…hopeful.
Hell, they even made .
Maybe one day this paper will be real. Time will tell.

Ever wonder what would happen if the hype team responsible for your average car ad got a bit disgruntled?
THIS is what would happen.
Note, language is VERY NWS, so pay that in mind before you hit play.
Otherwise, enjoy.

When I first heard the details of the forthcoming Simon Pegg/Nick Frost comedy, Paul, I was a bit worried.
Despite assuaging my original fears about the Shaun of the Dead/Hot Fuzz duo doing a movie without Edgar Frost (who is busy doing Scott Pilgrim), by hiring Superbad‘s Greg Mattolla to helm the flick, I have to admit, the premise of “two British nerds go to comic-con” sounded a bit half baked.
Man, oh man, was I wrong. As now…they leave comic-con…and go to AREA 51! Where they meet the titular alien, Paul.
Sure, the idea sounds a bit clunky, but considering how well they handled combining romantic comedy and horror, and British mystery films with John Woo action, I think Pegg and Frost are the perfect team to make the bastard child of Mallrats and Mac ‘n Me.
Don’t let me down, gang!

I know I’ve been one to dispise remakes on here, but it’s not so much me hating the idea of retelling an existing tale (for example, one of my favorite movies ever is the Clooney remake of Ocean’s 11), but rather how poorly and haphazardly they’re created, with little to no care of the original material.
So it was with great trepedation I peered upon these designs for the forthcoming CG version of The Wizard of Oz. Say what you will of the 30′s original, but it really didn’t touch the darkness and sadness of the Baum novels.
This CG version? Might have what it takes. I already really like the forlorn Tin Man, seen above.
