The Goon gets a motion comic, and it starts with beating on sparkly vampires
Not just a cheap shot at Twilight. This motion comic has genuine humour with fun voiceovers and a nice storyline all its own. Enjoy!
The Star Trek Into Darkness Rises
I know I’m not the first one on the Internet to compare the new Star Trek Into Darkness poster to The Dark Knight Rises poster, but come on!
Where no colon has gone before
I’m reasonably excited about this movie next year. I’ve never been a big Star Trek fan, and have barely watched any of the TV shows, but I loved the rebooted movie a few years ago, and I mostly enjoyed the first Star Trek movies when my girlfriend and I watched a marathon last year. So yeah, it should be a good flick. Especially with Benedict Cumberbatch as the…villain? Maybe? That’s definitely him on the poster. He’s amazing in Sherlock, if you haven’t seen that show. And you should.
The first trailer is supposed to be linked to The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (which comes out in less than 2 weeks!), so I’m looking forward to that. The synopsis is also available, though it means little to a non-Trekkie like me.
“When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis. With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction. As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.”
I guess this ‘one man weapon of mass destruction’ is Cumberbatch, who’s based on a character from one of the classic series’ episodes. We’ll see!
Any big Trek fans out there reading my blog? What does everybody else think of this movie?
It’s Alive! It’s Alive!
Now you can play picaboo with a lamp!
Created by students at Victoria University, the lamp can track and register faces and sounds. Not only that, but stay tuned towards the end of the video, where it demonstrates the power to fight for its life! When the guy tries to turn the off switch, Pinokio defies the very order of humans and appliances! So watch out, everybody. The Robot Apocalypse may be starting right here. Just look at how adorable that lamp is and tell it won’t soon be asking you about love.
Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 12/1/12
Two of Marvel’s new flagship titles – Uncanny Avengers and All-New X-Men – shipped their second issues this week, and one of them came out the clear winner. The other one needs to pick up the pace if it hopes to keep up and stay relevant. I wonder if the books are in any kind of direct competition. They seem to be telling the same story – how the world of superheroes reacts to the new anti-mutant hysteria – but they’re going about it in very different ways. Are some people buying one but not the other? Regardless, the one book people should be buying is the new Thor: God of Thunder! The second issue continues the awesomeness of the first, and rides a winged horse to a clear Comic Book of the Week!
That was not a euphemism

Nicholas Cage Makes Everything Better
I’m not one to indulge in the ‘Nicholas Cage is Insane’ Internet meme. Mostly because I’ve seen only a few of his insane movie roles. I like him in Con Air and Gone in 60 Seconds. But the meme persists, and people like Pleated Jeans have good fun with it.
Good times, good laughs.
