‘Pacific Rim’ Honest Trailer

‘Pacific Rim’ Honest Trailer

I love Honest Trailers! I’m not sure how, but somehow, I missed this when it came out. I know I could subscribe to the Screen Junkies channel on YouTube, but honestly I don’t use YouTube that way and don’t want to. I see a video, I click and watch, then I go away. I know there’s a whole YouTube culture or whatever where people spend a lot of time on the site and subscribe to a bunch of channels and etc. etc. Well, I still use RSS feeds like they’re the last hope on earth and I found a way to subscribe to a YouTube channel as an RSS feed. So, I have now added the Screen Junkies YouTube channel…

‘Aningaaq’ - Short Based on Events in ‘Gravity’

‘Aningaaq’ - Short Based on Events in ‘Gravity’

This one is a lot of fun. It sure seems a shame that this is not somehow available in theaters, though I’m not sure how you would get it there. But somehow connect it with Gravity. This is sort of like a deleted scene that was never made. Given the nature of Gravity and the nature of the way the story was told, it would have been odd to cut to this. We only ever get to see things from the perspective of Dr. Stone.

Still, this is the other side of one of the most deeply moving parts of the film. There’s not really a point other than, oh, that’s what was going on. And that’s a lot of fun.

‘The Hungry Games: Catching Fur’ — Best Parody Ever!

‘The Hungry Games: Catching Fur’ — Best Parody Ever!

I admit it, I have a weakness for Cookie Monster. He’s part of my childhood. So this may not, in fact, be the best parody ever to the rest of you. But for me… well let’s just say that nostalgia may have been involved.

Still, how can you not like this? I think you will.

Decoding the end of ‘Inception’

Decoding the end of ‘Inception’

I should not have to tell you, but I will, there are SPOILERS for Inception ahead.

So one of the big mysteries left to us at the end of Inception is whether Cobb was in a dream or in reality. Well according to this French dude, we don’t have to wonder anymore.

I’m not sure if I completely buy it, but it is a very astute and interesting observation. I have always believed he was in reality anyway. It’s what I wanted for the end of the story, so that’s what I believed.

Check out the video (you’ll have to turn on English subtitles):

TNG Season 5 Blu-Ray Review

TNG Season 5 Blu-Ray Review
Matt Wright - TrekMovie

Season 5 continues the well oiled machine that we knew as TNG. Season 5 is one of the best seasons of TNG. Of course Season 5 includes “The Inner Light” and other excellent episodes such as “Power Play”, “I,Borg” and “Cause and Effect.” Read on to see how the season looks re-mastered and details of the generally excellent new bonus features, available November 19th in North America.

Of course, being the Trek nerd that I am I read this whole review. I can’t believe I don’t have any of these remastered season on Blu-ray yet. But, you know, money and stuff…

‘Almost Human’ Extended Trailer

‘Almost Human’ Extended Trailer

For those who, like me, won’t catch the part one of the pilot until tonight via Hulu, you are probably still quite interested in this trailer. The pilot is a two parter and part one debuted last night on broadcast TV. I have neither the time nor the inclination to make sure I’m in front of my TV at any set time. Hulu (or some service like it) is the future, and that’s the way I watch TV. At this time the (stupid) powers that be have decreed that Hulu must be delayed by a day. So I wait one day. I’ll be catching the pilot tonight and I am really looking forward tot his one!

I can tell you…

Super Smash Wars

Super Smash Wars

Oh my goodness I’m such a nerd! I have found the most awesomely ridiculous (or ridiculously awesome) thing in possibly this whole galaxy, or a galaxy far far away, or really the whole universe. If you love movies, video games (particularly older video games), and Star Wars you are really going to love this. Prepare to be knocked into light speed!

‘The Four Players’ - A Gritty Take on the Mario Bros.

‘The Four Players’ - A Gritty Take on the Mario Bros.

For The Fixer I alternated between geeky wonderment, and snorting with laughter. I mean seriously, I couldn’t make up my mind. I mean, Mario and Luigi are fantasy characters in a fantasy world that is mostly just food fun. And these two short films (soon to be four) take themselves soooo seriously, and yet they are completely ludicrous.

These short films are written and directed by Evan Daugherty Snow White and the Huntsman, Divergent, and the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (we’ll try not to hold that against him).

In these first two films we meet up with Marion in the first, and…

R2-D2 CONFIRMED FOR STAR WARS VII YOU GUYS!!!!!

R2-D2 CONFIRMED FOR STAR WARS VII YOU GUYS!!!!!

Yeah okay, so I’m being somewhat tongue in cheek with my headline. Which one of you would have actually thought that R2-D2 would not be in the new film. I mean it’s pretty much a given. But at least we can say, yep, it’s a given. That’s because JJ Abrams tweeted out a photo of him standing with the awesome little droid.

It’s not earth shattering or anything but it’s still fun. They’re actually making new Star Wars kind of fun. And hopefully it’s going to be better than those awful prequel things that we don’t acknowledge the existence of.

Thor Credits Tease Sets up Guardians of the Galaxy Stuff

Thor Credits Tease Sets up Guardians of the Galaxy Stuff
Germain Lussier interview with Kevin Feige

And there’s the first tease at the end of the movie is obviously Guardians, but it also, with the infinity stone, seems to set up some Phase 3 stuff. Is that safe to say?

Yeah. I mean we have… We are always sort of building towards additional things and what’s fun about that reveal for fans and for fans of comics and fans of movies is I think that’s the first time that we reveal that The Tesarac is an infinity stone, that the aether is an infinity stone. You may see another infinity stone in Guardians and certainly fans of the comics know what one can do with all of those stones if, god…
