The first images of Star Trek toys have appeared... and they're the Star Trek Barbie and Ken dolls... lovingly recreating the likenesses of Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and Zoe Saldana.

OHLALA THE 2009 GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS :-)
If when it comes to fashion for the awards there is not such a thing as major disasters, a tuxedo is a tuxedo. No, this year was really under the bad hair disaster for men. But remember that I am not being judgmental or trying to criticize anyone here, I am just being gay :-) Before we start, let's enjoy this OhLaLa moment with Colin Farrell and his quite adorable pink flaming pose ... isn't he super cute !? But as Kate Winslet would say "gather!", now can someone tell me what happened to Zachary Quinto's h

Super Bowl push planned for film ads - Entertainment News, Film News, Media - Variety
The hefty pricetag to advertise during the Super Bowl may have scared off major marketers during a down economy, but it hasn’t forced Hollywood to sit on the sidelines. Nearly every studio will push pics during the big game, airing on NBC Feb. 1, with the movie lineup naturally made up of summer tentpoles whose studios hope to appeal to the nearly 100 U.S. million viewers that tune in to the broadcast. Confirmed for this year’s roster are high-profile titles like Paramount’s "Transformers:

Scott Mendelson: New York Times Watchmen article just makes stuff up (for fun?).
Here is a brief article by Michael Ciepley detailing the possibility of a settlement with Fox and Warner Bros. over the rights issues of Watchmen (and, because I'm nice, here's the new Watchmen Japanese trailer). The final paragraph of said article is littered with conjecture and falsehoods. "Given that Warner Brothers' big comic-book release of 2008, The Dark Knight, is getting lots of Oscar buzz, a movie with a similar pedigree in the world of comic books like Watchmen could be in the running next year.

The Most Ridiculous Evil Twins In The Multiverse [Triviagasm]
Being evil is supposed to make you smarter, but it doesn't always work out that way. In science fiction, evil twins are often more idiotic than their good counterparts.

Successful screenwriter shouts, "Stop making me write Star Trek!"
Maybe it's the season ... the unwanted cold, the days that are still too short, the post-holiday depression caused by sugar withdrawal. Groundhog Day is still weeks in the future. What will that furry little creep say? Get ready for a whole year of winter. Maybe it's the economy with its own grim forecasts. (Is there a Groundhog Day for the stock market?) I can't judge, or think about, the stock market and a trillion-dollar stimulus package. But I know that the same Internet-driven machine gun that f

newVideoPlayer("/bronaked.flv", 506, 423,""); Last night, MTV started its new "Brody Jenner finds a friend" series Bromance in the way many had anticipated: with a loving homage to the naked, hooded dehumanization perfected at Abu Ghraib.With the contestants snug, asleep, and undressed in a Los Angeles hotel, Jenner ordered burly security guards to forcibly pull them from their beds, an offense that was once thought of as sexual harassment (back during The Real World: Los Angeles) but was now apparently re

Captain Kirk is dead right? Or at least the old one played by William Shatner is. The new younger version played by Chris Pine in J.J. Abrams new re-imagining of the Star Trek empire is alive and well. But would it have been possible to at least have Shatner playing a bit part in the [...]
