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...
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...

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...

JJ Abrams Reveals Episode VII XWing
While JJ Abrams is making a noble effort to raise a lot of money for charity using the hype of the upcoming Star Wars VII and the Force for Change charity, all I can pay any attention to is the new design for the next generation of the XWing. Yeah, you could win an appearance in the film and a visit to the set by donating to Unicef via Force for Change But honestly, that sleeker version of the XWing is pretty awesome – if they...

Despite the popularity of TV’s Arrow – the small screen adaptation of Green Arrow – the adventures of Oliver Queen will not intermingle with the epic big screen storytelling of Superman and Batman.

Juliette Lewis and Molly Ringwald join Jem and the Holograms
With the fast approaching and already in production Jem and the Holograms movie, it is about time we heard some casting news…. Like someone other than Jem and her Holograms. It seems that Juliette Lewis and 80s Brat Pack princess Molly Ringwald have joined the cast, but their roles are not yet revealed, though many rumours seem to suggest Lewis might be Jem’s computer assistant Synergy. But I have a different theory. I...
New X-Men Days of Future Past Trailer is Online
The second full trailer for X-Men Days of Future Past is online and more of the film is spelled out for us, and it only makes me more eager to see this film. Looks like Blink will be predominate in the future elements (which makes me even more excited for the potential of an Age of Apocalypse film), furthermore, we are getting a pretty good look at the Sentinels in action, and the sheer impressive power of Magneto. Near the end of the...
Are we Ready for Klingon Beer?
I cannot stress enough exactly how obsessed I am with craft beers. It is a massive market that is making the big beer manufacturers very nervous. And the beers getting a lot of attention are those with brand association. Brewery Ommegang makes a Game of Thrones inspired beer, and now we are getting a Klingon Beer. Star Trek.com says: Brewed by Tin Man Brewing of Evansville, Indiana, Klingon Warnog will incorporate rye malt into a...
Hoverboards are Real – Nope.
The elaborate and brief hoax had every geek busting at the seams with glee as it appeared a company named Huvr had actually accomplished the impossible and invented the hovering skateboard we have been waiting for since 1989. Great Scott! The Hoverboard is REAL!! Only it isn’t. The above video is a very clever and well done promo with celebrity endorsements like Back to the Future star Christopher Lloyd, Mobi and Skater legend...

First Look at Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman Physique
The controversial casting choice of Ben Affleck as Batman in the Man of Steel sequel has been overshadowed by casting a 110lb underwear model as Wonder Woman. But it seems that Gal Gadot is making the effort to be a lot more buff so she can pass as the Amazon Warrior Princess. Now at very least physically she is looking more the part. Wonder Woman is fit, but still very slight in appearance. She didn’t have body builder muscles...
Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark Game Trailer
Transformers Rise of the Dark Spark looks to be continuing the fun and style of War for Cybertron for the gaming world. The film versions of the Transformers seem to have a bit of influence on the prequel generation of Transformers found in the game. Looks like a lot of fun. I wished there were more Transformer games like War for Cybertron, and it looks like there will be! Which side would you be playing? Autobots or...
Nike Promises Power Laces by 2015
Despite many bad photoshopped images claiming the day which Marty McFly would travel to the future in Back to the Future 2, the real date is in 2015. We are desperately close to looking forward to the wonder technology they predicted. While it is still unlikely we will have a useable version of the hover skateboard, it appears Nike is looking at making sure at least one technology will exist. Power Laces. Gizmodo reports: designer...
