Sienna Miller Bikini Pictures
British actress Sienna Miller was at a beach somewhere at some point in time doing the bikini thing. Where? When? Why? Um, all very dumb questions, especially when there’s a very pretty girl running up a beach splashing herself all wet. Besides making a menace of herself to her various boyfriends and paparazzos out there, Sienna Miller can also be seen in the action movie “G.I. Joe” come 2009. She’ll be playing The Baroness, and yes, she’ll spend most of her time onscreen wearing a skin-tight black outfit. Word (and set pictures) also has it that Sienna is also nekkid in “Hippie Hippie Shake”, which I think is about, um, hippies. And shakes. Because, as we all know, hippies love their shakes. Stinking hippies.
Hollywood Top 5: Hottest Star Trek Babes
Trying to name the Top 5 hottest Star Trek babe is like asking a random stranger if he’s got an asshole — chances are he’ll say yeah, he has one, what of it, and then punch you in the face. Ask any 10 Trekkie, and they’ll give you 10 different answers. The Trek universe is varied and expansive, and you can’t just pick any 5 babe from the franchise’s various incarnations. But hey, that’s exactly what we’re going to do here anyway. Borgs, aliens, and plain ol humans are represented. Here, then, is the Hollywood Top 5: Hottest Star Trek Babes.
Video: The New Knight Rider Theme
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, NBC is bringing back the Knight Rider TV show and transplanting it from the ’80s into 2008, but if you’ve already seen the movie on Sunday, then you know this is basically the exact same show except, er, with younger people and a Shelby Ford Mustang as the new KITT instead of the cool TransAm. Early in the movie, you also heard the new Knight Rider theme. They start off with the old theme, but it quickly changes into some unGodly awful rock/alt crap. Oh well, listen for yourself in the video below. It starts off good, but they had to go and fubar it. Dummies. In fact, here are the two themes back-to-back. Tell me which one sounds better, and if you choose the new one, you’re an idiot.
Matsushita Shows Off Their 150-Inch Plasma TV
Holy crap. How small does your penis have to be for you to buy a 150-inch Plasma TV just to show off to your buddies? Wait, my penis is pretty small, so I’m definitely getting this thing when it hits the market! Japanese TV folks Matsushita showed off their brand spanking new 150-incher at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on January 7, 2008 (pictured below with a video of what 150-inches looks like), and it’s a beauty. It promises four times better resolution than full high-definition 1080p picture quality and offers a screen the size of nine 50-inch plasma televisions. That means it’s really, really big, and really, really nice to look at. Line up for yours in 2009, kiddos.
Kevin Smith vs. a Fan at Comic Con — WHO YA GOT??
Kevin Smith is a funny dude. Sure, you might not like any of his movies, but in person, this is one funny dude. And vulgar, too. This video is SOOOO NSFW. So here’s Kevin Smith, at Comic Con (an annual geek event at San Diego), who is taking questions from the audience. This fat white kid with glasses goes up to the stand and dares to ask Smith if he’ll ever do anything original. Smith, of course, answers as if it was a good question, but then quickly rips on the guy’s mom. It goes on for two minutes. Smith is just ripping the guy a new one, and the lesson of the day is: “Never attack a dude with a microphone.” Sucka.
iPhone Activation Problems, Glitches, Tech Support
I think it’s safe to say that Apple’s iPhone launch was a success. The company has moved over 525,000 units since it went on sale on Friday at 6:00 p.m. and continued selling through Sunday. But with the glut of new iPhone customers are problems. The LA Times reports that customers experienced hang-ups including activation problems and insufficient tech support for customers who have run into problems. Apparently even Apple didn’t realize they would do so well because the tech support wasn’t ready for the deluge of calls. Either that, or they just didn’t expect as much problem as they got.
The Apple iPhone Goes on Sale 6:00 p.m. Friday
What the hell is the Apple iPhone and why should you run out and buy one now before they’re all sold out? I don’t know, but if you want one, you’ll just have to wait until 6:00 p.m. today, when it finally goes on sale at Apple retail stores nationwide. Why 6:00 p.m.? Um, PR stunt? So what exactly is the Apple iPhone, and what can it do for you that the iPod can’t? Well I’m guessing the “phone” in the name has something to do with it.
Video: Pacman Quits
Two things about this video, where Pacman quits, much to the ghost chasing him’s chagrin: First, why does Pacman and the Ghost have British accents? And two, I can see how Pacman would quit. I mean, come on, the guy has been “eating” dots since forever, and where has it gotten him? Butkus. And all those damn ghosts, always chasing him, trying to dot-block him. Do they ever offer to help him out? Nooooo. I’d quit, too. But why does Pacman have a British accent again?
We’re doomed! Andromeda Galaxy Merging with the Milky Way Galaxy!
It’s official: We’re all doomed, because our Milky Way Galaxy will soon merge with our neighbor, the Andromeda Galaxy, which means the Earth and the Sun will be outcast to — wait, what’s that? Oh, right, sorry. This won’t happen until a few billion years from now, which means we’ll all be dead by then, and if the human race still haven’t developed interstellar space travel and can zip around the universe in groovy little spaceships, then we deserve to get extinguished. Read the full “When Galaxies Collide!” article at USAToday here. I know, this post is kind of useless, but hey, if you like science junk, this is great stuff.
More TRANSFORMERS “Damn That’s Cool” Robot Pictures
Those wacky “Transformers” robots are looking pretty badass lately. The latest pictures of them have been posted on Michael Bay’s official blog here. As before, I find the Optimus Prime robot to be utterly cool, and the Megatron one to be utterly, um, crappy. All the Autobots, in fact, look pretty cool, while the Decepticons really look like not a whole lot of creativity went into them. I mean, damn, most of them just looks like a bunch of metal rods and junk. What’s the deal with that? In any case, “Transformers” opens July 4th.
Spider-Man Owns Superman - Mac/PC Spoof Video
If you were a comic book fan, you really couldn’t like both Marvel and DC. Sure, you could read both books from both houses, but truth be told, you really had to choose one — which meant you bought mostly from Marvel’s stable of characters, or DC’s. What was the difference? To me, the big difference is mainly epitomized by their team superhero books — the bright colored tights and nonsensical storylines of the Justice League books compared to the too-human, gritty storylines of the X-Men books. Heck, even the Avengers had more believable storylines than the Justice League books. Basically, if you were a self-respecting comic book fan, you couldn’t consider yourself a DC fan and still say with a straight face that “comics aren’t just for kids anymore” because, well, DC comics ARE just for kids. But I digress. This is a funny spoof on the Mac-PC video from College Humor, only with Superman-Spiderman. It’s hilarious because it’s true.
First TRANSFORMERS Review Hits the Net
With two months and change left til it opens July 4th, reviews for advance screenings of “Transformers” have begun to hit the net. And of course, as it has been for a few years now, AICN was one of the first sites to nab a review. I’m going to skip over the long winded introduction and get to the meaty-gritty: the plot of the film — or what little of it that was given. Here’s how it begins: “It opens with what looks like the surface of a planet, Cybertron, but it doesn’t look anything like the cybertron we know from the cartoons. Its more like a rocky, mountainous wasteland, but alive…if that makes any sense…”
The Sci Fi Channel’s Summer Schedule, FLASH GORDON
Let’s face it: as much as I appreciate them for having shows like “The Dresden Files” and the “Stargate SG1″ series on their air, The Sci Fi Channel is known for some pretty craptacular stuff, not least of which are the truly horrendous quality of their “original movies”, i.e. the latest genetic monster/mutant attacks movie of the week. But let’s not focus on the latter and just concentrate on the former — their Summer TV line-up. Read on…
Chuck Russell to Direct MANDRAKE THE MAGICIAN Movie
Via MovieHole, here’s news that “Scorpion King” and “Eraser” director Chuck Russell is set to helm the live-action big-screen adaptation of Mandrake the Magician. Written by Josh Oppenheimer and Thomas Dean Donnelly, the film follows the magician’s entrance into a world of grand magic and adventure. Jackson Mandrake has always lived life on the edge. Working as an underground magician, Mandrake’s act has grown far too dangerous. One fateful afternoon, a CIA agent approaches Mandrake and requests that the legendary magician help the CIA on a dangerous covert operation. Mandrake reluctantly agrees but soon finds himself caught up in an intricate web of deceit, fighting for his own survival from a brilliant criminal mastermind.
A Review of MY NAME IS BRUCE, Plot Details
It’s not easy being a B-list actor with fans in the millions based on a couple of movies you did in the late ’70s/early ’80s where you were mostly covered in blood and got tossed around a forest by your “best friend”, who seemed to really enjoy hurting you. Then your career amounts to playing leads in crappy C-list sci-fi movies and crappy cameos in A-list Hollywood movies directed by some dude name Sam Raimi. Such is life for Bruce Campbell, the only guy who can save even the most atrocious movies ever made by modern man (see “Alien Apocalypse” for an example”). Bruce’s latest movie is “My Name is Bruce”, and according to this reviewer, it’s a humdinger.
Sam Raimi to Direct THE HOBBIT?
So word around the Internet Fanboy Water Cooler (or IFWC as I like to call it — well, not really) is that Sam Raimi is currently pondering offers to take over the directing reins of “The Hobbit” from Peter Jackson, who is still in all manner of legal fisticuffs with New LIne Cinema, the studio that owns “The Hobbit”, post-”Lord of the Rings” glory. Who knows what’s going on there, or who is telling the truth about the situation, but it certainly seems like Sam Raimi is reaping the benefits. And coming off three huge films in “Spider-Man” 1, 2, and the upcoming 3, it’s time for Raimi to get p-a-i-d. And if he does direct “The Hobbit”, he’s gonna get paid.
Kevin Smith Targets RED STATE for Horror Movie
Geek King Kevin Smith has finally decided what the plot of his oft-mentioned horror movie will be — sort of. It’ll be called “Red State”, and according to this, Smith is basing it off psycho Midwest preacher Fred Phelps, who is infamous for taking a supremely homophobic stance and for picketing the funerals of soldiers killed in Iraq for media attention. Apparently Smith doesn’t actually consider it a horror movie, and the way he’s talking, he’s going to do this with a straight face. Hmmm. I don’t know if that’s such a good idea, Kevin. But I could be wrong.
David Goyer’s SUPER MAX to be Green Arrow Movie?
Via AICN, here’s a very strange article about David Goyer coming off the now-dead Flash movie to do a Green Arrow movie. Except it won’t be called Green Arrow, but instead the awful B-movie sounding “Super Max”. The article in question appears in Wizard, where Goyer explains that “Super Max” will be about Green Arrow getting framed and sentenced to a superpowered prison, where he’ll have to face superpowered villains, some he was responsible for sending away. Arrow then has to team up with some of these villains to escape to clear his name.
Nadia Bjorlin as Wonder Woman?
You can throw “Redline” star Nadia Bjorlin’s name into the hat for “Wonder Woman”. Mind you, not that it will happen, as everyone with a pulse in Hollywood has gotten their PR machine to push their name for the coveted role. Here’s what Nadia Bjorlin said when Moviehole interviewed her, and asked about putting on the bullet-proof bracelets: “It is definitely something I’m interested in. I own every Wonder Woman episode! Lynda Carter was an incredible Wonder Woman, and I’d be honored to try to fill those shoes….or tights, rather! [Laughs] As of now, there is no script or director in place, but when they find those, I hope I’m still in consideration.”
FANTASTIC FOUR 2 Gets a New Poster
It’s funny how “under the radar” the “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer” movie is. Summer is almost here, and all the media attention has been on “Transformers”, “Grindhouse”, “Spider-Man 3″, and all the other rest. But “Fantastic Four 2″ is just sliding underneath everyone’s notice. Which is strange, because it’s a big Summer movie with a big budget, and is a sequel to a successful original. But anyways, in case you still care about the adventures of a non-acting Jessica Alba and her superpowered first family, here’s a new poster for “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer”, this one featuring all five main characters, via SuperheroHype.
