Kneel before ZOD (er, kitchens)

February 11, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

What if General ZOD made kitchens. Rather than bother Superman with general world conquering ambitions imagine that ZOD was content to build high quality kitchen units. Can you imagine that? Maybe this will help. Makes sense. Right? You’d be certain that the workers in the kitchen unit assembly warehouse worked hard, effectively and had your […]

New Heavy Metal series will be a live action

February 10, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The animated Heavy Metal movie is a cult classic. I remember it fondly. My ears perked up when I heard that the French company who own the franchise have successfully pre-sold the show, based on the pilot, to more than 20 countries. Variety has the news but also the twist in the story. This will […]

Fan-made Superman animation; short but punchy!

February 10, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is a very short video. It’s only 2:35 long and most of that is the credits – however, watch to the end because you get a short scene with Robb Pratt, the animator, who reveals extra layers of cleverness. You see, this isn’t just a quality piece of animation. This Superman cartoon is drenched […]

Bloopers and cut scenes from “The Force”

February 9, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This week Geek Native was one of the cthuzillion blogs who ran the Volkswagen “The Force” video. We’re at it again. Watch as we climb on the Volks bandwagon and bring you the bloopers and scenes cut from “The Force”. Volkswagen would call this “The Making of”. My question is; aren’t all kids a little […]

Beavis and Butthead are coming back

February 3, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Huzzah. Beavis and Butthead are coming back. The one-time cult classic animation will be making a return to MTV. In a bizzare twist MTV had Canadian child pop star Justin Bieber break the news in a tweet. I’m not sure why they thought Bieber was a good match for the show. Perhaps they’re trying to […]

Volkswagen’s “The Force” Super Bowl ad

February 3, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The TV ads which run during the Super Bowl (some sort of ball throwing festival, as far as I understand it) are big business. The Super Bowl attracts the attention of very many eyeballs and so advertisers spend big bucks and showcase their very best campaign messages. I hereby dub this little fellow as “Volksy […]

Photographs from the set of Torchwood

February 2, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

We’ve got quite a lot of information on the new Torchwood. The first episode is Miracle Day and we’ve even got a list of actors and characters (spoilers). Thanks to Who-watcher Alun Vega we also get photographs from the Cardiff set now and then. Check out Barrowman as Captain Jack and our favourite friendly PC […]

Golf Now – part of an anti superhero backlash?

January 31, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Hmm. Not sure what’s going on with American TV ads or advertising agencies but there seems to be a bit of a superhero blacklash going on. Just a few weeks ago we had DirecTV poking superheroic fun and now Evolution Bureau are doing something very similar for their client Golf Now. Does anyone with any […]

One Earth: Syfy and Trion in first TVMMO

January 30, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Syfy and Trion will be working together to produce a collaborative TV show and MMO. Syfy, as you’d expect, are doing the TV show and Trion are doing the MMO. What’s interesting about this is how the two will converge into one. The project currently has the code name “One Earth” and it seems fitting. […]

Will Benedict Cumberbatch play Omega in Doctor Who?

January 30, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

If you check the histories of Gallifrey they will likely say the two most important Time Lords of all time are Rassilon and Omega. Working together Omega and Rassilon brought time travel to Gallifrey. Omega’s experiments on a device known as the Hand of Omega and designed to control reactions within a star was the […]
