Godfather for the Holidays

A new hardcover book was recently released containing photos spanning the entire trilogy of the Godfather.


Cool Stuff: Robot Chicken’s Baysplosions

If you’ve seen Transformers, Armageddon or Bad Boys (or any other piece of work by the almighty Michael Bay), you can admit that he has a tendency to just blow things up.  While the storyline may not always turn out great or it may not live up to Uwe Boll’s opinion of what a good [...]


Cool Stuff: Stop Trashing Your Netflix Papers and Try Netflix Origami

If you subscribe to Netflix, you know all too well about the amount of paper you go through.  While Netflix touts that it sends you a reusable mailer that you can send right back, you still always have to tear the little page off to uncover their address.  So if you’ve got a few DVDs [...]


Cool Stuff: The Joker is Twittering

Apparently the internet access at Arkham is great as The Joker is now apparently using a Twitter account to communicate with around 1,100 followers.  Twitter is a communication network that allows you to subscribe to people of interest to you and see the updates they post to the site about what they’re doing or their [...]


Video: Jon Stewart Mocks Republican’s Hypocritical Support of Sarah Palin

We normally don’t try to get involved in politics as much as we have in the past few days, but this is semi-related to a TV show and therefore I think you all will be interested.
Here’s the setup for the video below: Jon Stewart (the comedian turned host of the Daily Show) thought he noticed [...]


Cool Stuff: Juneau Poster Creates Well Timed Mockery

If you’re following the current presidental race (or at least the republican side for that matter), you’ve probably heard a little bit about Alaska Governor Sarah Palin being the new running mate for John McCain.  It also just so happens that she has a teen daughter who is, to put it politely, knocked up.  If [...]


Holy Shit! Hot Toys Making Bank Robber Joker Figure

If you’re reading this so far, you’re probably excited like me.  I mean, I’m not much for collecting figures from movies or even gathering that much memorabilia.  It’s just that the Dark Knight seems so epic and Joker so good that I get pumped up all over again when I hear anything about it.  Maybe [...]


‘Watchmen’ Toys

So today I was going through my blogroll and found that my local toystore has some of the figures for Watchmen up for pre-sale.  So since we haven’t reported on them before I thought I’d give you guys a little bit of info.
First off, we will be able to collect all the main characters as [...]


Paramount Payback

In an encouraging move, Paramount is hoping to entice hi-def shoppers to their new slate of Blu-ray titles by offering a sawbuck in return. After pledging support to HD-DVD in the format wars, I see this as a promising move by Paramount.
Beginning with the release of the ‘Transformers‘ Blu-ray on September 2nd, the company [...]


Casablanca (Ultimate Collector’s Edition)

Warner Home Video have announced the U.S. Blu-ray Disc release of Casablanca (Ultimate Collector’s Edition) on December 2nd. Considered one of the greatest Hollywood classics of all-time and the quintessential romance film. Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman are incomparable as the star-crossed lovers who’ll “always have Paris” – and Casablanca is the most eminently quotable [...]


Cool Stuff: Darth Vader the Blues Harmonicist

Ever wonder what it was under Vaders mask that covered up his lips?  Well, Youtube user Billyfaithfull exposed it via a short little video.  Turns out, Vader’s great at the harmonica.


Cool Stuff: Tarantino Mashup

Being a fan of a lot of things Tarantino, you can guess my enjoyment when I found a video mashup of some of his greatest work.  The four minute clip contains footage from Jackie Brown, Death Proof, Kill Bill, Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.  The mashup is done in a very Tarantino type style and [...]
