I’m a special effects junkie. I love trying to figure out how something is done. But what I really dig is when someone improves upon a current, or even more so, a seemingly outdated technology. In the case of Guillermo Del Toro’s Hellboy II: The Golden Army they take the animitronic suit and vastly take it steps beyond. And you can really see this in one of the main characters named Wink, a 7-foot-plus-tall troll who is the muscle for the main villain Prince Nuada. Below is a behind the scenes video showing some of Wink’s moves, which are pretty swank and realistic.

The teaser for Joss Whedon’s upcoming on-line series Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog looks like it’ll be nerdtastic, which is not really a big surprise.

Whedon says -

“It’s the story of a low-rent super-villain, the hero who keeps beating him up, and the cute girl from the laundromat he’s too shy to talk to.”

Sounds a little autobiographical if you ask me.

Staring Neil Patrick Harris as Dr. Horrible, Nathan Fillion as Captain Hammer, Felicia Day as Penny, the show will consist of three ten-minute episodes.

Yes, this is a clip of the Ukelele Orchestra of Great Briton (who the hell knew they even had one) performing Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit.

I’ll just let that settle into your brain for a moment.

Now on to the video!

VLOG (short for video blog) is a new online horror series from Twisted Pictures (the guys who dish out the SAW franchise of films) and Break.com. The premise is simple - Some lady named Brooke Marks and a deranged internet killer exchange a loving embrace… no wait… Marks is being hunted by the killer and you, the viewer, get to watch as her buddies get slaughtered one-by-one in each episode. That is until Marks is dispatched herself, at which point I’m sure she’ll return from the dead for the VLOG sequels.

You can watch all of the current episodes of over on the VLOG site. Below is the trailer that gives you a pretty good idea of what you’ll be watching.

Here’s a look-see at a movie poster standee someone captured at some theater for the upcoming movie Watchman, based on the comic of the same name that comic nerds seemed to think could never be made into a movie. Hey comic nerds… you were wrong. But that isn’t to say that Hollywood won’t screw it up. I personally have hope though. 300 director Zack Snyder seems to be a perfect fit for the somewhat psychedelic superhero story.

Horror-Rocker king Rob Zombie released the teaser poster for his next film Tyrannosaurus Rex, which apparently is about a bad-ass wrestler on the run from a menacing biker gang from hell.

From the looks of this poster I think it’s pretty safe to say the usual suspects will be staring in the film - Ken Foree, Danny Trejo and Rob’s babe-a-licious wife Sheri Moon Zombie.

The release date will be August 28th, 2009.

Futurama: The Beast With A Billion Backs Out Today!

Futurama: Beast With A Billion Backs 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
-Meet Yivo! Featurette with David Cross
-A Brief History Of Deathball Featurette
-Blooperama: The Futurama Cast At
-3D Models With Animator Discussion
-Storyboard Animatic: The Beast With A Billion Backs, Part One
-A Sneak Peek at the Next Futurama Epic! -Deleted Scenes/Storyboards: Original Opening, Fry and Colleen Meeting, St. Asimov Parade, Zapp and Scientists, Amy Fry and Leela, Scruffy the Janitor
-Futurama: Bender’s Game - a sneak peek at the next Futurama epic!

That should keep you busy.

Goodbye to a hero that preached commonsense to many generations.

“My feeling is that as long as you’re going to die, you should go out with a bang,” Carlin wrote in his best-selling book, Napalm and Silly Putty. “I say go out big, folks; it’s your last chance to make a statement. Before you go, give ‘em a show.”

AlienThis is a life size Alien made of steal, resin, rigid foam and the fear of God - I think I may have just peed myself just a little. Really.

If you feel the need to scare the living hell out of say your neighbors, dogs attempting to befoul your lawn or your friends when they need to use the toilet, then this is the very thing to do it.

The folks at Monster Galaxy are responsible for this stunning nightmare. It’s ultra-realistic and can cause a heart attack in just 3 seconds.

And just like any other supermodel, Alien has his own stats:

Stands 7 feet 7 inches
Resin and Rigid Foam Head
Transparent Dental Acrylic Lips
Vacu-Form Dome
Steel Armature, Armature Wire in Tail to pose
Wood Base (4′ by 2′) Heal Pins into Steel Bracket
Latex and Polyfoam Body & Tail

That is so hot.

This fine specimen of Alien lov’n can be yours for the low price of $5,200.00 plus shipping! Diaper not included.
