So yeah, the so called “bootleged” version was out a few days ago for the new Star Trek film, but the quality was pretty craptastic. So here’s the actual trailer, nice and clear. Enjoy your nerd-porn.

Can’t get enough of your nerdtastic friends quoting every line from every bit of the venerated comic troupe Monty Python? Or the never ending loop of Monty Python’s Flying Circus on your local PBS station? Well then, this is your lucky day ’cause those Limey Bastards have now opened up their very own YouTube channel!
Today marks the 30th anniversary of The Star Wars Holiday Special! Don’t know what the hell I’m talking about? Well shame on you. Just watch the above video and check out StarWarsHolidaySpecial.com to get yourself educated.
Happy Life Day to all my fellow Star Wars nerds!
Here’s an Internet mystery that’s been making the rounds. Is the above image a candid shot of Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter from Burton’s upcoming Alice in Wonderland, or is it a fake created by some fan boy who lives in the basement of his mother’s house?
I think the subject says it all, so I’ll just shut the hell up and let you watch the video.
Roland Emmerich, the man who brought us such doomsday films as Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow, is bringing us yet another “End of the World” movie - 2012. For those of you who don’t use tinfoil hats 2012 is in some circles considered the year the world ends or we all become happy psychic-hippies. Obviously Emmerich is going for the wreck everyone’s shit up theory, so the films synopsis is simple:
With the Mayan calendar ending in 2012, a large group of people must deal with natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions, typhoons and glaciers.
Right now Moviefone has the exclusive movie trailer, which is just a big dick-tease to what we can expect out of this film. And to add to the suspense you’re told at the end of the trailer to “Find out the truth. Google Search: 2012″, which leads me to believe there’s an ARG (Alternate Reality Game) lurking somewhere in the marketing of the film.
The film is due to be released on July 10, 2009 and thus far stars John Cusack, Amanda Peet, Thandie Newton, Woody Harrelson, Danny Glover, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Oliver Platt.
Above is pictured one Pat Regan with his 1/10 scale working replica of the Nautilus from the film 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Is is obviously one of the coolest people in the universe.
He’s a massive fan of the film and has also built other replicas from the film including underwater rifles and diving suits, and restored one of the film’s original diving suits. He even has instructions on how to build your own replica Nemo rifle. Pretty swank my friends.
To see all of the projects he’s done, of which most include production notes, check out Regan’s site at Vulcania Submarine.

Say it ain’t so? The knuckleheads that brought us Dumb and Dumber and There’s Something About Mary are prepared to unleash their version of an American classic - the Tree Stooges.
The Farrelly Brothers script places the beloved Stooges in the modern day, but unchanged in their slap-happy low-tech comedy that made the Tree Stooges famous. It will be either a PG or PG-13 film, aiming for the father wanting to introduce their sons to the Stooges and create a new generation of fans.
Moe, Larry and Curly are the iconic three of the Three Stooges line-up though there were many others that rotated in and out of the group, most notably Shemp. Their slap-stick humor spanned for almost 50 years, being featured on stage and screen.
Even though the Farrelly Brothers are probably today’s best bet to bring the Stooges to the silver screen, like many other remakes and films “inspired” by original characters, I’m smelling a stinker.

Yet another Dreamworks movie that will crush other films when it’s released into the wild - Monsters vs. Aliens. Hitting theaters March of 2009, the story will go thusly:
When California girl Susan Murphy is unexpectedly clobbered by a meteor full of outer space gunk, she mysteriously grows to 49-feet-11-inches tall and is instantly labeled a “monster” named Ginormica. The military jumps into action, and she is captured and held in a secret government compound. The world learns that the military has been quietly rounding up other monsters over the years. This ragtag group consists of the brilliant but insect-headed Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D.; the macho half-ape, half-fish The Missing Link; the gelatinous and indestructible B.O.B.; and the 350-foot grub called Insectosaurus. Their confinement time is cut short however, when a mysterious alien robot lands on Earth and begins storming the country.
As a last resort, under the guidance of General W.R. Monger (on a desperate order from The President), the motley crew of Monsters is called into action to combat the aliens and save the world from imminent destruction.
The film has a pretty amazing lineup including Reese Witherspoon, Hugh Laurie, Will Arnett, Seth Rogen and Stephan Colbert. Not too shabby at all.
And Monsters vs. Aliens will be released in 3D in select theaters. Nerdtastic.
