The Avengers Your Most Anticipated Film of 2012? Here's Some More Footage

If you're interested in every skerrick of info in what will more than likely be the biggest superhero film of all time, then these few extra snippets (even in Russian) should help ease the pain while you wait for the film's release. In this Russian-dubbed trailer, there's extra footage of various team members (Bruce Banner/The Hulk, Thor and Hawkeye) strewn throughout the two-minute promo, a conversation...
Happy Life Day!
And now, a yearly tradition, something truly wonderful: The Star Wars Holiday Special. Legendary for providing one of the most singular Star Wars experience in history, this made-for-TV 1978 special starred Bea Arthur (from the Golden Girls), Diahann Carroll, Art Carney, Jefferson Airplane (before they were Starship) and Harvey Korman. It also infamously featured Chewbacca's family, waiting for him to turn up for his 'Life Day' celebration on Kashyyk. Chewbacca's wife is named Malla - and...
Prometheus Trailer Blows Internet's Mind: Here's Why
Ridley Scott's Prometheus will release in the US on June the 8th, 2012. On the 23rd of December, 2011, the first full teaser trailer came out, and it blew the internet's mind. How? After a week that included a big fun lava-monster filled 'Wrath of the Titans' trailer, an epic 'The Dark Knight Rises' second trailer and the first 'announcement' trailer from 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' you'd expect trailer fatigue to be setting in - each new trailer coming out to less and less hype, with...
The Week in Geek Issue # 88
Welcome dear readers, It’s the final newsletter for the year! I would say it’s astounding to think how fast the year has gone by, but if I had $5 for every time someone’s said that to me, well, I could buy a new release video game. As Scrooge and Grinch like as we are (We can humbug with the best of them!), we can’t ignore the season entirely as we saw a fantastic Christmas lights display, set to the music of Slayer. If that’s not the Christmas spirit, then I don’t...
Sometimes, The Solution is Nerf
If you work as a manager at Nerf industries, are you in fact, a Nerfherder? We'd like to think so, and, more importantly, we'd like to see the business card. In any case, that's beside the point as we now bring you live to the annual 'pull my tooth out with a Nerf gun' competition. Contestants: one. Result: awesome. Not entirely sure if this is a red flag for any DOCS workers out there, (please let us know) but we'd like to think that Han Solo would have rmoved his wobbly teeth this...

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - One Trailer To Rule Them All?
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey won't be released in cinemas until Dec 14, 2012, but enough work has been done on the film to be able to put together this first 'announcement' trailer. If you're not a fan of dwarves, smoking or singing, this may prove something of a disappointment. Peter Jackson returns to Middle Earth with the adventures of Bilbo Baggins, taking place before the events depicted in The Lord of The Rings Trilogy. This will be the first story of a two part adventure - The...
Goodbye Full Episodes of Electric Playground: Hello Snippets of Excellence
It is my sad duty to inform you that The Electric Playground will no longer be seen in full episodes on The Sci Fi Channel Australia, nor will new full episodes be uploaded to Spectrum. After Friday (Friday December 23rd) of this week, The Electric Playground will still be seen on SCI FI - but only in small segments, not as fully contained, half hour shows. Over two hundred and seventy episodes have been seen on SCI FI and are now uploaded online - it's a treasure trove of pop culture, gaming...
A Second The Dark Knight Rises Trailer Rises - The Result - Meh?
The second The Dark Knight Rises Trailer is now up and we've got it for you to have a look at. With all the hype that blossomed with the leak of the trailer and the first six minute prologue of the actual film earlier this week, it's not surprising that the internet is losing its collective banana with the official release. In the trailer, we get a good look at Tom Hardy as Bane, and have some insights into the plot of the film. We also have our first sustained peek at Anne Hathaway as...
Star Wars Versus Star Trek: Bath Robe Battle Royale
Christmas is fast bearing down on us with all the implacable power and speed of an Imperial Star Destroyer. Not the local bulk cruisers,one of the big Corellian ones - and that's fast. Luckily we've scoured the internet for a last-minute gift idea that might just work - the bath robe. Whether you want to go Star Trek or Star Wars - that's up to you. The Force may be strong with some - but for others, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. When it comes down to it - the...
