I think it’s safe to say that this doesn’t look at all like anything Pixar has ever done before — and that’s probably a good thing. While I still have my doubts about this project, I did find this trailer hillarious even if I would find the actual situation, if it were taking place in real life, repulsive. We all wonder sometimes what’s going on in someone else’s brain and this film is going to set out to answer that question in what looks to be a pretty clever and funny way.

And this film is actually just around the corner. It will arrive on June 19th. As always with Pixar, I look forward…

I don’t often post red band trailers on MovieByte, but since I’ve been pretty public here about looking forward to this film and recommending it in a way, I wanted you all to know what you’re getting in to.

I still think the film looks like great fun, and it’s certainly not going to take itself too seriously.

It will be out in theaters on February 13.

Oh man! I nearly split a gut on this one. This just proves that even the best of movies can be made fun of. It is funny the connections that you can make to other Marvel characters, but it’s a sign of how well done it is that I never made the connection before or maybe I just never cared to make the connection.

So buckle up for the Honest Trailer about “The Space Avangers”.

Joe and TJ are joined for this very special episode of the show by a very special guest — Jim Metzendorf — to discuss one of the great classics of our time, ‘Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back’. No matter what George Lucas has done or continues to do, he did give us this great film and we shall forever be grateful. So tune in to have some great fun and a lot of analysis (and over-analysis as well) of a dearly beloved film. The guys also talk about Roberto Orci leaving the director’s chair for the upcoming ‘Star Trek’ Film, TNG’s ‘All Good Things’ stand-alone Blu-ray release, Evangeline Lilly’s statements about ‘Ant Man’ and Edgar Wright, and the first trailer for ‘Terminator Genisys’.

Marvel Studios presents “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” the epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to the Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global…

So how fast is the Millennium Falcon’s hyperdrive, anyway?

We know—unlike Obi-Wan Kenobi, seriously wizard don’t you read SmugglerFeed?—that this is the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs. But we also know that a parsec is a measure of distance, and since Han doesn’t specify how long it took the Falcon to make this sub-12 parsec shortcut, we don’t actually get an idea as to how fast the ship can go.

Oh, but she’ll do “.5 past light speed” which…doesn’t tell us much either. Obviously ships in the Star Wars galaxy can go faster than light speed otherwise there’d be no…

The output from the HISHE team has been less this year it seems, but they do occasionally drop some greatness on us. Given that Joe and I are going to be talking Star Wars with Jim Metzendorf this evening when we record The MovieByte Podcast, this one is pretty timely and addresses something that’s always bothered me. The Stormtroopers are supposed to be the elite soldiers of the empire, and yet most of the time it seems like they can’t hit the broad side of a barn. Worse, Obi-Wan Kenobi points out to Luke at the beginning of A New Hope that the blast points are “too accurate” for sand… Read The Rest

Early this morning — well, late this morning in the U.K., but very early for us in the U.S. — Sony Pictures, MGM Studios, and Eon Productions teamed up to reveal some long-awaited details on the 24th James Bond movie. From the Bond stage at Pinewood (“where budgets go to die,” joked director Sam Mendes) the first details of the film were revealed.

The Bond 24 title will be Spectre.

...

Spectre is the fictional terrorist organization introduced in the novel Thunderball, and represented on screen beginning in Dr. No.

The name stands for SPecial Executive…

Wow, “All Good Things…” is 20-years old. It’s still a shining example of what Trek in the mid-90’s could be. It’s quite telling that Brannon Braga and Ron D. Moore excitedly hammered out this loving wrap-up to Next Gen in a matter of days, while with Generations they spent much more time on it, fretting about the motion picture debut of the TNG crew, and it is hardly the unanimous success that “All Good Things…” is.

“All Good Things…” is great TNG-era Trek.

While I’m talking about Star Trek...

It’s hard for me to say that All Good Things is the absolute best episode of Star Trek, but…
