Before any show starts filming in earnest they’ll test the look of the characters; different hair styles, clothes and accessories. In the case of Star Trek: The Next Generation this also means different eye colours for androids and visors for Geordi. YouTube calls this “creepy TNG test footage”. Do you agree? There’s certainly some awkward […]
Hello Kitty Borg cake
I’m not sure which side of the cake is the most scary. Via El Laboratorio de las Tartas (warning; auto-play sounds).
Star Trek: The Next Generation blooper reel
Over 10 minutes of out-takes, bloopers and gags from Star Trek: The Generation season 2. The original ST:TNG was shot in 35mm film and so this collection has been cropped to YouTube’s 16:9 to enhance the experience. It’s not clear whether this is an official collection or not. It may not be. There’s therefore the […]
Second Star Trek Into Darkness trailer
The internet now has its collective hands – and eyes – on the second Star Trek Into Darkness trailer. No doubt people are looking for a Japanese version already to see if there are any added extras; like last time. This updated trailer includes the Khan-like hand gesture that was shown in “added extra” footage. […]
Seen the extra clue in the Japanese Star Trek Into Darkness trailer?
The Japanese trailer is only slightly different from the one above. It has Japanese subtitles. It is a little longer. What matters is the scene that was shown to the Japanese audience but was cut from the Western audience. Why the cut? Could it be because of the suggestive overlap with an infamous Kirk villain […]
Star Trek Into Darkness teaser poster
Is that Benedict Cumberbatch in the poster? It speaks how highly the company must consider his star rating if he is the only actor to appear on the poster. I like how the hole in the ruins suggests the Starfleet logo. The official synopsis is out – so click to the next post if you’re […]
X-ray prints of popular spaceships as monsters
[Tardis print] This set of art is on sale at Josh Ln’s Society6 page. They show some of the most popular space ships as they might look if they were actually cretures and monsters – except only in the side and revealed by an x-ray. It reminds me a little of these monsters under the […]
What are Heroclix Fast Forces and Gravity Feeds?
There are many different HeroClix sets; X-Men, Justice League, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, Halo, Street Fighter, Gears of War, Chaos War, Marvel 10th Anniversary, Avengers Movie, Galactic Guardians, etc. However, sometimes you’ll see the phrase “Fast Forces” prepended or appended to a title of the range. You may even see discussion about Gravity […]
My Nerdy Boyfriend
This charming song raises some interesting questions. Who would win in a fight – Buffy or Data? Which film is worse – Aliens 4 or Matrix 3?
The movie timeline of the future [infographic]
This infographic from Michael Hobson is pretty cool. He’s a designer and illustrator based in London and one of the founders of Digital Sizzle. I’m not entirely sure he’s a fan of Ghost in the Shell. Then again; Cowboy Bebop is on the list so perhaps he’s an anime fan after all. The future, according […]
