I know it sounds like a joke, but seriously, Walt Disney & Salvador Dali worked together on a cartoon!
The project, called Destino, started in 1945, but wasn’t completed until 2003, nearly SIXTY YEARS LATER.
It’s finally getting a DVD release in 2010, along with a behind the scenes documentary.
However, you can get a look at it early right above. It’s…something, that’s for sure. But what that something is….I cannot really say.

Sure, we nerds can go back and forth for HOURS on this here internet on Michael Bay’s version of Transformers, and who’s childhoods were and weren’t raped, but regardless, if it weren’t for the (terrible) movies, we wouldn’t have something this awesome.
My friends across the interweb, I give you Optimus Prime on David Letterman, delivering last night’s Top Ten: “Top Ten Things That Sound Cool Said By A Giant Robot”.
My personal favorite? Number Seven.

This sure is a bummer, especially for nerds like myself.
Hands down, one of my favorite writers in comics over the past few years has been Brian K. Vaughan. Singlehandedly responsible for the stunning Y: The Last Man and the mind behind the great teen superhero book Runaways, he was one of the writers who was able to get me back into comics after the speculative 90s ruined my level of enjoyment.
So of course, a few seasons back, when he joined the writing staff of Lost, and seemingly was one of the staffers who got the show back on track during Season 3, few were as excited as me.
In turn, it’s with a heavy heart that I read today that Vaughan has left the writing staff of Lost, just months before the final season goes into production.
According to producer Damon Lindelof, he “has left for greener pastures.” I presume he means the world of screenwriting, given that Marvel has optioned for a Runaways film, and director DJ Caruso (Eagle Eye) has expressed intent on doing a movie adaptation of Y, but considering how Vaughan has added such great moments of levity to Lost (Hurley writing Empire Strikes Back, anyone?), and was the writer behind one of the best episodes of the series in “The Constant”, I can’t help but feel that this is a huge blow to the show.
I guess we’ll see what happens when Lost returns for its final season in 2010.

Oh wow.
Ever since I heard this flick was premiering at Sundance late last year, I’ve been sitting on pins and needles waiting for the first footage to surface of Patton Oswalt’s debut in Big Fan.
And now that the trailer is here (conveniently embedded above), I think it’s going to blow away any of my preconceived notions of what it would be.
Sure, I had a feeling given that it’s the directorial debut of Robert Siegel, he who wrote The Wrestler, that it would be something special…but this looks like a downright stunning portrayal of fandom gone horribly wrong.
Don’t take my word for it, folks. Hit play above.

I don’t know what it is about specialized recaps of Star Wars, but they seem to make the internet go ’round.
I mean, we had the 3 year olds version…the version from the girl who had never seen it before…and now we have this…
Star Wars in 3 Minutes In A Notebook!
What really makes this one work is the adorable animation and childlike feel of it all. But I think it’s safe to say, we all know how the story goes. Even with that though? I have a bad feeling once George Lucas dies, we’ll see the remakes get green-lit. Thanks for being predictable Hollywood!
Take one part smart ass horror script from Juno scribe Diablo Cody, the super attractive Megan Fox, add some blood, some gore, some f bombs, and some skin…
and you have the sure-to-be-a Fall hit Jennifer’s Body!
Here’s what’s kinda weird…they cut together this red band trailer for it to be placed in front of Bruno this Friday, and 20th Century Fox wasn’t having it, and made an “all ages” trailer of their own.
However, the creative team said “here you go, internet!” and gave the red-band trailer to ShockTillYouDrop.com.
Aren’t you glad we live in a modern age where such things are possible?

The awesomely exclaimed The Informant! will hit theaters this September.

Ok, so…maybe Reynolds has his heart in the right place when it comes to the movie adaptation of Deadpool.
It’s been pretty obvious since the release of X-Men Origins: Wolverine that Ryan Reynolds has been asking for a mea culpa from the nerd audience, especially now that the standalone Deadpool movie was green-lit.
But this quote, coming from Empire Online, is probably the best key so-far that he gets it.
“Break the fourth wall? Oh yeah, he’s got to. I want to see him break the Great Wall.”
As any fan of Deadpool knows, the character is always aware that he’s in a comic book (see the image above). Now you tell me that Reynolds’ version of the Merc-With-A-Mouth is going to be aware that he’s in a film?
Sounds awesome. Maybe they can use the super rad abandoned design for his in-movie look, too…
