2012-11-29T12:17:00.002-05:00

So this is the first commercial to feature our new Overlords in our dystopian robotic future. It does bring back a warm fuzzy feeling of nostalgia.

Scariest Prank Ever: This Elevator Prank Is Cruel And Unusual

2012-11-28T11:28:00.000-05:00

In what could be considered the cruelest prank to ever be shown on TV, this Brazilian prank tv show, decided to scare the living daylights out of people. The unwilling participants board an elevator, which then has the lights go out and a creepy little girl sneaks into the room, scaring the crap out of people. Thanks to a hidden camera, the audience is able to view the whole thing. Amazingly the creepy ghost girl was not punched in the face and no one had a heart attack.

Monty Python Trotting Horse Coconuts For Your Bike

2012-11-27T15:31:00.002-05:00

Finally somebody came up with the idea to transform your bike into a straight up Monty Python and The Holy Grail sounding machine, with your very own coconut gadgetry. Of course the real question is how did they get the coconuts for this project? Do you think African swallows brought them up on a line?

Owning your very own coconuts will give you the illusion that you are riding a horse, until someone points out that you are just taking two coconut halves and banging them together. And of course the user of this gadget will need to be prepared to answer questions about African and European swallow migrations.

Game of Thrones: The Comedy

2012-11-26T10:02:00.002-05:00

What if Game of Thrones was a comedy, specifically a Seinfeld-esque comedy? We no longer have to wonder because this next video is Game of Thrones meets Seinfeld, and like most things on the internet, they go really well together. Joffrey getting slapped by Tyrion is even more fun to watch with a laugh track.

Alicia Keys Sings The Gummi Bears Theme

2012-11-23T16:14:00.001-05:00

Alicia Keys recently visited the stage on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and her performance was both memorable and original: She chose to sing the intro theme of the retro cartoon Disney's Gummi Bears, much to the delight of many nostalgic fans out there.

This is a deleted scene from Star Wars... no just kidding it's a pug dressed up like a Bantha! Isn't it crazy how much this looks like the movie? Very cute indeed.

Disney Buys Star Wars

2012-10-31T10:26:00.001-04:00

Announces More Star Wars Movies!

Next time you visit Disneyland, there might be more than Mickey Mouse and Buzz Lightyear to greet you, you might also have the honor of seeing Darth Vader and Yoda to boot! Yesterday, October 30th it was announced that George Lucas was retiring and that he sold his franchise to Disney for a whopping 4 Billion dollar deal. Disney apparently wants to own the world: before this deal they owned such money makers as their own merchandise, Pixar, The Muppets and Marvel.

This deal also comes with a promise: we will be getting a new Star Wars movie in 2015. If that didn't blow your mind this next bit of news will: Disney plans on making a new Star Wars movie every 2-3 years, and this could last indefinitely until the Star Wars franchise is no longer profitable. That means we might have the possibility of at least a dozen new Star Wars movies in the next 24 years!

My only wish is that now that Disney will own the rights to Star Wars, perhaps the original 3 movies will be released in their pre-edited state. You know before George Lucas started editing his works and all this CGI stuff started happening. Is that too much to ask?

There is a ton of Star Wars stuff available for fanboys. But I always say why buy when you can make it!

This weekend at the New York ComicCon (NYCC), the first picture from the upcoming Evil Dead movie was released. As a fan of Bruce Campbell and the Evil Dead franchise, I have mixed feelings about the new movie. Of course it's pretty early on, and I look forward to seeing more pictures for the upcoming movie.

William Shatner Gives Canadian Politician Justin Trudeau Some Acting Advice

2012-10-10T11:13:00.002-04:00

William Shatner appeared on the Canadian comedy show This Hour Has 22 Minutes where he joked about politician Justin Trudeau's acting abilities. Justin Trudeau is the son of the late Pierre Trudeau, who was the Prime Minister of Canada for many years. In recent times Justin Trudeau has announced that he would like to be the leader of the Liberal party, which means he could be the next Prime Minister of Canada.

If William Shatner is going to give acting advice to Canadian politicians, I think it's only fair that someone give him some singing advice. I am, of course referring to this.

2012-10-09T12:01:00.003-04:00

Yes the Angry Birds are coming out with a Star Wars edition of the game, which will be available on November 8, 2012. I will be honest in saying that I have never been a huge fan of Angry Birds, but I appreciate a good crossover when I see one and will be playing this game when it comes out.

Time Warner Cable Messes With Star Trek Captains

2012-10-03T13:29:00.006-04:00

What happens when Star Trek Captains are unhappy with their cable provider? They complain on Twitter just like regular folks! Apparently Time Warner Cable (TWC) is a terrible cable provider, (which was news to me since I live in Canada and I am pretty sure it isn't available here) but that sounds like it's a good thing because it sucks so bad it made Sir Patrick Stewart lose the will to live. Things get interesting when William Shatner chimes in on Twitter.

Star Wars Characters Painted Holding Cute Furry Animals

2012-10-03T12:45:00.000-04:00

Artist Kelly Kerrigan has created a series of sci-fi paintings with a truly unique twist. The set of paintings all have a character from Star Wars holding cute and fluffy animals. The idea is truly unique, and definitely makes the Star Wars villains more sympathetic. If ever their was a niche that needed to be filled for geeks, Star Wars characters cuddling adorable critters is one that I am happy to know it exists. You can check out the rest of her work on her blog.

Watch The Battle Of Hoth Recreated With Minecraft

Star Wars meets Minecraft in this next video. Star Wars fan (youtuber ParadiseDecay) took the time to build an awesome Minecraft version of the Battle of Hoth. If you've ever played Minecraft, you would know that this must have taken an insane amount of patience and time to create.The end result makes me realize that my own Minecraft world is vastly inferior in many ways...

Honest Trailers Take On The Avengers

2012-09-26T11:38:00.002-04:00

As a fan and subscriber of Honest Trailers on youtube, I was very excited to see that they had made an honest trailer about The Avengers. Apparently they had a massive amount of requests for them to tackle The Avengers movie, but the creators claim that it was difficult to find material to critique it. Well they found enough material because this honest trailer is exactly what you would expect from them. Trust me, after watching this trailer, you will wonder how you never noticed the earpiece issue before. Does anyone know how they were able to communicate with each other in the final fight scene?
