Star Wars - A Tribute to John Williams Video
Star Wars geek? John Williams fan? Ummm… A cappella aficionado? This is the video for you. It’s nice to see actual talent and originality in a youtube viral video instead of the usual voyeuristic wedding reception nut punch or office worker nervous breakdown #527. (Okay, sure, the song’s been [...]

Fanboys Movie Really Will Be Released - Here’s the Trailer!
Some never thought it would happen… and, of course, the existence of a trailer doesn’t really mean that Fanboys really will be released, but it’s one more step toward the possibility of the movie that almost never was to actually appear in theaters. It doesn’t mean it will be adequately promoted beyond this [...]

Clone Wars Series 1st Glimpse - The Ambush Begins October 3rd
Star Wars Geeks: Whether you allowed the 8 year old inside you to enjoy the Clone Wars movie that was in theaters in August (I keep the 8 year old inside me right next to my liver, resting against one of my kidneys… by the way, he enjoyed it), you have to admit there’s [...]
Flick Face-Off: Tropic Thunder vs the Clone Wars
This is another one of those odd weeks. Normally, you’d think that this would be an easy win for a new Star Wars movie (okay, it will be), but this isn’t a regular Star Wars movie. And animation (unless it’s Pixar) always seems to make some people wary. Plus, I’ve heard [...]
The Clone Wars Won’t Have Traditional Star Wars Crawl
Star Wars: The Clone Wars director Dave Filoni revealed in an interview with MTV’s Movie Blog why his film won’t have the traditional Star Wars opening prologue crawl. “Because we originally developed this as a TV series,” he said, “George [Lucas] felt that the crawl wasn’t going to be effective as a way to introduce [...]

WENN.COM reports that Pegg is considering [...]
Comic-Con ‘08: Star Wars Panel
This afternoon, the traditional Star Wars panel was held in Hall H. Not a lot to report there; we saw a lot of stuff anyone can watch on the Net right now, such as the release trailer for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, and the final trailer for Star Wars: The Clone Wars. But we [...]
Comic-Con ‘08: An Inside Look at Preview Night
Every year, Comic-Con seems to become more and more like the E3 of old, with increasingly loud and rowdy booths full of giveaways, big money being spent all over the place to promote the heck out of the biggest stuff, and con goers who mad-dash their way through the most impressive booths in zany attempts [...]
Geeking Out in LA Photo Gallery
It’s easy to be geeky about something in LA, that much is obvious. There is always something happening relating to your favorite tv show, movie, comic book or whatever. The great thing is that most studios/creators love to show off their stuff. I’ve seen more than my share of advanced/test movie screenings [...]
Weekend Bits 6/29/08
Hellboy II just keeps looking better and better with each new trailer they release. On the other hand, this is something like the fourth one… I worry that they’re in danger of revealing too much, and leaving no surprises for the movie.
According to writer Mark Millar, Wanted 2 is already in the works.
Doug Jones, aka [...]
