The Dark Lego Rises

Here's the trailer for the Dark Knight Rises done completely in Legos. At this point I think it's safe to assume that any movie trailer is going to get the Lego treatment at some point. As much as I enjoy these I wish some uber-nerd would branch out and do one of these in something other than Lego. Maybe Capsula or Robotix, now that would be awesome.

Game of Ponies

Were you aware that My Little Pony is back? Not only are they back they've got this whole male fan base called Bronys, they have conventions and everything. I find the whole thing incredibly unsettling, however this resurgence has led to this Game of Thrones/My Little Pony mash-up. So I guess the Bronys are ok in my book.. as long as they stay 50 yards away from my son.

Hacking Scarlett Johansson using google and gumption. The heartwarming story of some guy on the internet that decided he wanted to see Scar-jo nekkid. Remember kids, never give up on your dreams!

Seriously though, this is a really interesting article.

Ron Burgundy announces Anchorman 2. I'm a man who discovered the wheel and built the Eiffel Tower out of metal and brawn. That's what kind of man I am. You're just a woman with a small brain. With a brain a third the size of us. It's science

Flexible e-ink displays are now in mass production. These displays are the bomb diggity. You think a Kindle is cool now, wait until you can roll it up and smack someone over the head with it.

Monster Cables vs Coat Hanger, who you got? I've said this before and I'll say it again, anyone that buys Monster products should have all their money taken from them and given to a food shelter. And don't get me started on those ridiculous Beats by Dre headphones.

Grown Up Alien Ninja Turtles

If you've been paying any attention to the blog this week, you already know Michael Bay is producing a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie called Ninja Turtles where the turtles are from space (don't worry bro, the backstory will be rich and complex), also they're not really teenagers they just act like it.

I thought it was a bad idea until I saw the new intro. I think it's pretty sweet.

That's a dozen red cards

Sweet Christmas, this video is the balls. There's no real set up, it's a high school soccer game and a girl gets fouled. She then decided to take like 20 pounds of flesh from the chick that tripped her.

Of course it all ends on a happy note, the girl doing all the punching was charged with 3rd degree assault.

Safety Not Guaranteed

If there's two things I'm a sucker for it's movies about time travel and movies set in Seattle. If there's a third thing I'm a sucker for it's Fun Dip. Man that stuff is awesome. When you're done you get to eat the stick! It took me forever to figure out that the stick tastes like cream soda.

Anyhoo, here's a trailer for a new movie called Safety Not Guaranteed, based on an internet meme from like forever ago. It stars that guy from The new Girl, that girl from Parks and Rec and that guy from the League. It's like a indie film supergroup. I'll bet you money I don't see it in the theater complain that America is stupid when it tanks and then love it when it comes out on DVD. I call that move the Scott Pilgrim.

Baywatch: The Oral History. THIS IS MINDBLOWING! But it's about Baywatch you say, how mind blowing can it really be you ask.. "Donna D'Errico declined to be interviewed. In an e-mail, D'Errico told Esquire.com of her plans to climb Mount Ararat to search for Noah's Arc." That's right, Noah's freaking Ark. And D'Errico's the one without the giant coke habit, I'm looking at you Bleeth, Jackson, Hasselhoff, etc. Seriously, I'm like halfway through this thing and It's just awesome.

btw, was there a hotter woman on TV in 1991 than Erika Eleniak?

8 Forgotten '80s Live-action children's sci-fi series. Oh I did not forget about you Captain Power. I craved one of those stupid captain power light gun vehicles for SOOOO long. The kind that you could shoot things on the TV and rack up points. Then when I finally got one for Christmas the show was moved to 6am on Saturdays. I think I played with it once.

James Cameron's X-Men movie could have had Bob Hoskins as Wolverine. My favorite part of this story told by X-Men writer Chris Claremont is how quickly James Cameron lost all interest in an X-men movie. All it took was Stan Lee saying "So, I hear you like Spider-Man too?". Then like a thousand lawyers showed up and 15 years later we finally saw a Spider-Man movie. Thanks for nothing Stan.

Hotties of the Hunger Games. A little something for the ladies.

A trailer for the Total Recall Trailer

I'll give the producers of the Total Recall remake a bit of credit. Having a trailer for your trailer premier seems like a very Philip K Dick thing to do.

I've been thinking about it and I'm not really that upset that they remade Total Recall. I mean Total Recall was awesome and it still is. If this new movie sucks it's not going to make the Arnold version any worse is it? It's not like we're dealing with a sequel, or prequel, intended to add or subtract from the original movies mythos. It's a complete reboot and I guess it's supposed to be more true to the book. I say why not? It's not like it's Michael Bay ruining Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or anything. Damn you Michael Bay! Stop pissing all over the toys of my youth!
