This is a level “Ass Kicking” item that I must have. It’s a T-800 Terminator skull that plays DVDs whilst it glares at you sinisterly.

I have to be honest, I knew it would eventually come to this. Doctor Steel, a mad scientist who has been steadily making grounds for world domination through his toys and music, is now fully aware of Joss Whedon’s newest creation - Dr. Horrible, another mad scientist who has just begun his quest for world domination through just his music. And I think it’s safe to say that the rubber gloves have been thrown.
Doctor Steel fans, err I mean ‘troops’, have rallied behind their master for a full-on assault upon Whedon and his Dr. Horrible with Operation: Expose Dr. Horrible, a cunning plan that involves the ‘education’ of the Internet masses. They point out all of the similarities between these two diabolical Doctors beyond the whole singing and rubber gloves, such as:
Both use propaganda tools to spread their plans for world domination.
Both have a Q&A segment (”Ask Dr. Horrible” and “Ask Doctor Steel”).
Both have similar titles to their respective releases (Dr. Horrible’s “Sing-Along Blog” videos and Doctor Steel’s “Read-A-Long” album).
Joss, we like you and all so we’ll be kind enough to tell you this; Doctor Steel’s fans are like your fans - rabid, undyingly loyal and willing to do just about anything for their lord and master. Be ready.
And to give you a taste of what you’re up against Mr. Whedon , here’s one of Doctor Steels propaganda videos. Good luck.
Here’s a little sneak peek into the next Futurama movie, Bender’s Game, which is set to be released late this year. Filled with nerdtastic Dungeons & Dragons references and various scifi puns, Bender’s Game tells the tale of how the Planet Express crew gets trapped in a fantasy world while in search for fuel.
“Everything is set into motion based on the high price of fuel, which is dark matter,” head writer and executive producer David X. Cohen told Wired.com in June. “Our crew tries to get to the heart of the problem…. Of course, strange events unfold.”
Yeah, like Leela turning into a very hot centaur.
Not too sure if the robot you just ran into is evil or good? Is it a little too human-like or does it look like a big old trashcan? Well let this handy-dandy chart be your guide. From WALL-E to 7 of 9, this chart can be your guideline to knowing your robots and their intentions.

Today is the day my fellow Futurama fans. Today is the release of the second Futurama film - The Beast With A Billion Backs hits the shelves today.
Described as a “depraved, yet sensuous” adventure, writer and producer David X. Cohen refers to it as “disturbing.” He goes on to say “There is certainly more of an adult theme in this film than the average Futurama episode.” Well with quotes like “These aren’t tentacles, they’re gentacles!” I think that’s pretty obvious.
So what’s the movie about and what tasty bits are included in the DVD you may ask coffin-stuffer? Well let me tell you…
In Futurama’s latest and most tentacle-packed epic, space itself rips open, revealing a gateway to another universe. But what lies beyond? Horror? Love? Or maybe both, if it happens to contain a repulsive, planet-sized monster with romantic intentions! Nothing less than the fate of human and robot-kind is at stake as the Futurama crew takes on The Beast with a Billion Backs.
The Beast With A Billion Backs will be presented in widescreen format with English Dolby Surround 5.1, along with French and Spanish subtitles. Bonus features include:
-Commentary By Matt Groening, David X. Cohen, Billy West, John DiMaggio, Maurice LaMarche, Michael Rowe, Claudia Katz, Peter Avanzino and Lee Supercinski
-Futurama The Lost Adventure - a long-lost full-length adventure produced for the video game with audio commentary by Matt Groening, David X. Cohen, Billy West, John DiMaggio, Maurice LaMarche, Michael Rowe, J. Stewart Burns and Lee Supercinski

Apparently this is the “official color tailer” for the upcoming FUTURAMA movie The Beast With A Billion Backs. I’m not too sure since the quality is pretty craptastic. And why emphasis that it’s in color? Whatever skin coffin. It’s still got me all a flitter.

We’re going away for the Memorial Day weekend to partake of the grilled flesh of God’s Green Earth, attend a wedding, drink Pyrate Rum and practice our marksmen skills. So to kick off this thrill-a-minute weekend we give you one of the greatest geek-a-liciouses homemade music videos ever… the Rotersand Dalek Music Video. Bask in its asskickery and such.
Sharon Pinkenson, executive director of the Greater Philadelphia Film Office, says that Michael Bay and his posse will be rolling into the “City Of Brotherly Love” to film the sequel to his 2007 live-action robot smack-down, Transformers. Apparently Mr. Bay, as well as many other filmmakers, have been choosing Philadelphia as a filming location due to the tax breaks that came into action last summer.
Bay had reportedly been scouting Philadelphia around March, specifically poking around the campuses of the University of Pennsylvania and Girard College, as well as the Masonic Temple (one of the largest in the country).
Other reported filming locations include Michigan and Egypt.
