Coming Attractions: After Earth, M. Night Shyamalan and Will Smith’s Take on that Other Avatar


Original Video– More videos at TinyPic

The coupling of M. Night Shyamalan and Will Smith. Let’s just say we would’ve been more excited for this match-up in the early aughts. Now it gives us nothing but trepidation. You see, we’ve been let down before by both Shyamalan and Smith when it comes to the Sci-Fi genre. Shyamalan from his overuse of the “plot twist,” to his extremely Meta mind-bending explanations for the obvious, and let’s not forget the blatant trickery (see: The Village). And well, Smith, who started out with a more than promising career as a sci-fi action hero has churned out more than one dud in his time — and that says nothing about the strange eye roll that occurs whenever we hear about he and his son working on a new project.

The New Star Trek Movie Is An Abomination!

The trailer for the new Star Trek movie, the punctuationally-challenged  Star Trek Into Darkness, is here at last. GIRD YOUR NERD LOINS AND PREPARE TO ENGORGE WITH NERD RAGE! Gawk at British thespian Bandersnatch Crustypants! Groan at the BWAP! noise from Inception, which all trailers are legally required to use! Shriek at the Space-fu jumping around! Gabble with anger with your nerdquaintances over who the villain is! Gape at the explosions and spaceship crashes! Yell at all the yelling!

Actually, it doesn’t look too bad. But seriously, it’s time to retire the Inception BWAP! noise. Please. Continue reading

The Hollywood Caller: Elmo No More

Sheesh. Nothing is sacred. Not anymore. Elmo as we know it is gone. Also, Kelsey Grammer will have to smile at his one Boss Golden Globe. He won’t be getting another. On the bright side, The Walking Dead may have just gotten more awesome if that’s possible. NBC despite its sweeps success is still a stupid network. Barbara Walters thinks potty mouth dogs are interesting. Oh, Paula Abdul, really? Really. And Downton Abbey we have a bone to pick with you! Hugh Laurie, we don’t mean crossbones. Continue reading

Coming Attractions: Iron Man 3 Finds Tony Stark in a Dark Place

Well, it looks like Tony is plagued by some sort of superhero complex. One that conjures nightmares and an unfathomable foreboding. Well, one could say that’s because he has a habit of pissing off the bad guys, and that could make it a little tough at all those villain UN meetings, eh? Is our normally jovial, cocksure crime fighter suddenly feeling a little unsure of himself and his abilities? That’s the premise to Marvel’s latest offering. Tony Stark, a man conflicted.
