Dietary Advice for Astronauts
This very clever ad shows what potentially would have happened if the moon landing discovered life on the surface. And some dietary advice for astronauts. As much as this made me laugh (because I am really a 13 year old boy inside), I do sometimes wonder if they had contingency plans if they did encounter life up there. I mean it was the 60s! What did they know. It’s a miracle that they got there to begin with (no I am not...
David Tennant joins Jessica Jones
The new Netflix produced series based on a Marvel Superhero property will be Jessica Jones – which is about a retired superhero who becomes a private investigator of sorts. Jones will be played by Kristen Ritter (who I just love) and now the first villain of the series has been announced and will be played by David Tennant. InsideTV reveals: The studio has cast David Tennant as the major villain in its upcoming Netflix series...
Melissa Benoist will be Supergirl
Looks like CBS’s new take on DC Comics Supergirl has finally found its Kara El – Melissa Benoist! Most recently Melissa was one of Glee’s next generations – which spelled doom for the show as it now spends its last season rekindling its original glory with the original cast on a planned ending. But the only thing about that season that I liked was Melissa. (Yeah, I just admitted that I watch Glee – I was...
DreamWorks PDI Faces Layoffs
Looks like the mega-giant and groundbreaking studio of DreamWorks Animation is not doing so hot as it just announced that its PDI Division is shaving off a large number of employees and reconsidering its strategy. Cartoon Brew shares: The beleaguered DreamWorks Animation just announced in a written statement that it will eliminate approximately 500 jobs at its company, far exceeding the previously anticipated number of layoffs. Many...
Young X-Men Cast for X-Men Apocalypse!
It looks like the younger versions of the “present day” X-Men have been cast for the 80s-centric X-Men Apocalypse. Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones) will be taking on the role of the Young Jean Grey. I like this not just because of her natural red hair, but because I feel the actress really has the ability to portray the shy vulnerability that a young scared Jean Grey will likely have. Tye Sheridan (Mud, Tree...
The True Master of the Bow
Archery is an interest of my own and I am dumbfounded how someone would get this good releasing an arrow. I have seen many archery tricks and impressed by them all but this leaves them all behind in ways I could not even begin to measure. Everything you ever thought was possible with a bow is proven wrong. Oh, just watch! Watching him split a moving arrow looks like something out of a movie. The kind of thing you just say “like...
Glorious Cosplayer of the Week – Angie Griffin
Angie Griffin is just one of those Cosplayers that has a couple things going for her, and they are not shy about throwing those up there. Her costumes are mostly store bought but what they lack in craftsmanship, they make up for in pure entertainment. Angie is half of the Youtube Channel ScreenTeam with her Fiance Chad. On their channel they parody a lot of geeky stuff with shameless abandon. They are not the best singers or dancers...
Microsoft Announces The HaloLens!
Alongside the Windows10 release announcement, Microsoft also introduced a new technology they are working on that just might be more exciting than Google Glass – and because everything they do has to abuse the crap out of their Halo franchise trademarks so of course its called the HaloLens™ This virtual reality lens has a lot of potential and how they illustrate that is just amazing. It looks to be even more versatile than...
Simon Pegg to Co-Write Star Trek 3
It’s really sad that Roberto Orci has dropped out of writing Star Trek 3. And by really sad I mean pretty awesome. I really liked the Star Trek reboot but it had its problems. The sequel was a joke and I blame all on the weak writing. So to hear that Orci was walking away, I figure it can only get better. Then they announced who was hopping on board to co-write. Simon Pegg! ComingSoon says: Pegg has been set to co-write Star...
Diplate puts Iconic Cars on Metal
Thanks to the wonders of targeted marketing on Facebook, I found this awesome place that makes movie posters on steel plates. Displate has chosen some pretty sweet art depicting some of the iconic cars of tv and film and their drivers. And its pretty neat how they make em too! Go pick your favourite at Displate! And full disclosure, I am not getting paid to promote them. They are just cool enough to get my attention (and if they...
Feel-Good Food
This spicy-hot root does plenty for an efficiently-functioning digestive system, thanks to anti-inflammatory phytonutrients known as gingerols that work to alleviate a distressed tract. According to ayurvedic medicine tradition, ginger is a potent healer in all stages of the digestion process. Don’t kid yourself, Jimmy. If a cow ever got the chance, he’d eat you and everyone you care about! Oh, everything looks bad if you...
Battle of the Planets Remake Headed to TV
My childhood was filled with awesome, and that’s what has shaped and carved me into the mecca of awesome that I am today. One of the earliest animated shows that ever impacted me was called Battle of the Planets! Granted, none of us ever called it that because to us it was G-Force. No, not that talking guinea pigs with superpowers movie. This was an animated series dubbed for North American audiences and was originally known as...
Meet the Lego Tardis!
Shelly Timson took two great tastes that taste great together. No, not Resse’s Peanut Butter Cups, but the impressive combination of of Doctor Who’s Tardis and Legos! This 1/3 scale Tardis is made up of over 4000 pieces (and rumoured to have more on the inside). After reaching out to Inside the Brick to gather up as many dark blue bricks as possible the Tardis came to life in Lego style over three weeks of snappy...
Fables of the Green Forest comes to YouTube
This was a total throwback to my more innocent days were the stories we read about all came to life! These marvelously whimsical animated series from 1973 was originally a Japanese series called Rocky Chuck, Mountain Rat who was not a rat, but a woodchuck. It aired here in Canada on TVOntario as Fables of the Green Forest, and Rocky, with his gal pal woodchuck Polly would have adventures and lessons about life. You can check out the...
New Age of Ultron Trailer is Online
The brand new Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer features plenty of Hulk Smash as well as some haunting Ultron scenes as we are reintroduced to the Avengers cast. The repeating musical score of Pinoccio’s “Have no strings” borrowed from the parent company Disney Vault, again plays to the theme of the created artificial son escaping his strings. I have a theory about the creation of Ultron as we already know that Stark...
Scarlett Johansson joins Ghost in the Shell
Scarlett Johansson has been the face of our favourite Russian Superspy turned Avenger, but it’s time to take on another iconic powerful female character. This time another comic books that was adapted into the classic Ghost in the Shell Anime.

Glorious Cosplayer of the Week – Jill Pantozzi
There is a number of reasons that I can enjoy a Cosplayer’s work and the first among them are their passion. Jill Pantozzi is a real fangirl and not just an enthusiast, but she’s also Editor and Chief at TheMarySue.com. Her Cosplay is heavily revolving around comics, but she’s also a die hard Fifth Element fan. She’s even got the tattoo that Leeloo bears on her wrist! Jill is also a Goodwill Ambassador for the...
Peanuts Feature Film Trailer is Online
Peanuts was one of the first comic strips that really meant anything to me. I related a lot to that sorry chap Charlie Brown and his plight to fall in love with the little red haired girl, and yet I got to revel in the wild imagination of his adventurous beagle Snoopy. When I heard they were making a feature animated film in computer animated 3d, I was a little reluctant to think they could capture the genuine charm and magic of the...
Amazing 3D Printed Batman Cosplay
We are living in the future. Cosplay future. Everything could change in the world of Cosplay as one designer chose to take a different route of hand crafting amazing costumes and 3D printed the parts he needed to craft a Batman suit from the game Arkham Origins. Robot6 says: According to 3D Print, the suit was 3D modeled before being printed. A mold was then created for casting of the armor (everything except the cape and undersuit...
Warcraft 3 gets Modded using StarCraft 2 Engine!
Blizzard Entertainment really owes all of its success to the original Warcraft real-time strategy, resource management, topdown-ish combat game – Warcraft. It started out as a simple fantasy game in 1994, Warcraft: Orcs & Humans. This game came on a staggering 12 floppy discs or one CD-Rom and featured two factions gathering resources and building armies to face off in a massive war of point and click warfare. The most...
