You already know you’re going to see a wave of publicity for Star Trek. Just like the Internet’s obsessions with Watchmen (and blue wang) you already know you won’t be able to avoid it. Might as well embrace it, right?
Here’s a triple dose of Spock.
First off, Take one part Warhol’s Marilyn and one part [...]

Triple dose
Kanedaaaaaaa!
Kanedaaaaaaa! To be specific, Kaneda Washington Sawyer Finn Bush Cheney Pamela Anderson Lee. A Disneyfied re-envisioning of the classic Akira story into…well…yeah…something, that’s for sure.
The Stories Behind Hollywood Studio Logos
A great article on the major studios’ logos and their evolution. Personally loving the Warner Brothers / Seven Arts logo, as well as the ‘72-’84 ‘Big W’. Also check out ClosingLogos wiki which is the source of most of the images shown.
Forest J Ackerman (1916-2008)
While I am not the world’s biggest sci-fi fan (a lot of the medium, just like with fantasy, is completely lost on me), Mr. Ackerman’s passing is something that’s important enough to report on. Why? Because there would be no “science fiction” or “sci-fi” if he hadn’t coined the term. Not only that, but he [...]
Jeff Bridges: Making Iron Man
Actor, cartoonist, anti-nihilist, owner of rugs… Jeff Bridges created a photo book of his experience making Iron Man. Quite, quite cool.
Godzilla anatomy
The anatomies of Godzilla and friends, shown in vintage Japanese illustrations. I wish they’d taught this kind of stuff in my Biology classes. Ignore the fact that they’re imaginary. I mean, really, pffft. Details.
Iron Man Home Premium, Iron Man Extreme, …

Sure, there’s something sad about being a sucker for custom shaped novelty DVD cases. But hey, I’m the guy with the Iron Man mask shaped DVD case, [...]
My Name is Bruce release date/tour
I mean, seriously, who doesn’t love Bruce? Prepare for the greatest film directed by and starring Bruce Campbell released this year. Seriously considering going to the Chicago screening.
50 Incredible film posters from Poland
Wow. Some of these are…”out there”.
“Hey Chris, am I?” “You’re dead!” Alright, cool.”
“I asked Chris [Nolan] that question and he goes, “You’re dead” before I could even get the question out of my mouth. “Hey Chris, am I?” “You’re dead!” Alright, cool.”
Aaron Eckhart (Harvey Dent / Two-Face in The Dark Knight)
The Transformers 25th Anniversary
“Man, Idunno, what can we do to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of one of our most successful toy franchises.”
“Let’s rerelease Optimus Prime. AGAIN.”
“Brilliant. let’s go to lunch.”
Dark as all fuck.
“Like the recent Batman sequel — which has become the highest-grossing film of the year thus far — Mr. Robinov wants his next pack of superhero movies to be bathed in the same brooding tone as “The Dark Knight.” Creatively, he sees exploring the evil side to characters as the key to unlocking some of [...]
Confirmed: Warner Bros. Will Reboot Superman Film Franchise
I’d just buy a new hard drive and reinstall the OS, personally. Thank you, thank you, I’ll be here all week. Try the veal.
