Cat Beating On Automatic Feeder To Score Extra Food - Video

Courtesy of Geekologie.com this video made me smile. A cat battering an auto-feeding station in a hilarious and quite violent manner with an awesome "cat-on-cat" slap-fight in the middle = Puuuurfect.

Super Best Friends Forever: Grounded - Video

I've not put up all of the Super Best Friends Forever mini-episodes but this one caught my eye as Superman was in it. Relatively funny and it includes Supes, my fave so far. :P

HULK SMASH

Just to keep you going (If you haven't managed to get to see AVENGERS just yet) here is a new TV spot with a whole lotta Hulk.




NAME THOSE MOVIES!!

Check out this super mash up of some of the greatest (although there are some stinkers crammed in there too) superhero movies.

If you can't name 95% of the movies then you can hand in your lifetime membership to geekness and get outta here.

Enjoy







                                             
                                                               

AVENGERS ASSEMBLE....Stupid name for UK release....Film still AWESOME!!


JOSS WHEDON is now my hero..........Not only does he have some seriously cool TV shows (and SERENITY) upping his coolness even before AVENGERS hit the cinema, he has managed to combine some of the coolest superheroes in the Marvel universe and make a movie that presses all the GEEK buttons at once that you come out of the cinema wanting to turn around and go back in for a second showing.



Now I will stress....this movie is not perfect.......but hey what Marvel movie is. A movie is not always for everyone; someone will have a whine and a moan because Blah wasn't accurate to the 1978 versions and the Blah and Blah wasn't cannon....and Blah, Blah, Blah!!!! ITS A FREAKIN MOVIE SO SHUT UP AND WATCH!!

Without ruining the movie there are a few gripes and a few things which I didn't think fitted the tone of the movie. These are more the way the characters that appear were portrayed in their solo movies that just didn't gell too well when they were all smashed together. But this said, Joss Whedon managed to bend and mould elements of 4 other movies and make them into his own baby and make something that will be part of Marvel history for a very long time.


What I was concerned more about that anything was Mark Ruffalo and his HULK. I really liked that remake/Sequel with Edward Norton and was gutted that he didn't get bought over into the Avengers when it was first proposed...........and then they signed Ruffalo and I got concerned that he was too "Rom Com" for a superhero movie (Kinda like AFFLECK was for Daredevil)

BOY WAS I WRONG.


Ruffalo plays a much more "mild mannered" Banner than we've seen, and a bit more crazy than we've seen before. All you need to know is that it works well and the HULK is probably the best CGI version to date. It's not over the top and we fits well with the others and becomes a functioning AVENGER by the end of the movie.......and the hints at a more JEKYLL and HYDE version of the HULK are hinted at by banner throughout the movie which give a much better insight into the character than just "You won't like me when I'm angry" because I turn green and smash shit for no reason and say "betty" a lot.



The Tony Stark humor from Iron man returns and there are some awesome one liners throughout the movie which made the whole cinema I was sitting in wet themselves with laughter....for all the right reasons I might add. All the magic moments that made Robert Downey Jr awesome in the first Iron Man movie have almost  seamlessly been transferred to AVENGERS to add the Marvel magic.






Don't worry about the fact that there have been a million trailers and teasers released......there's a lot more action, comedy and some serious skin tight suits on Cobie Smulders and Scarlett Johansson left to stare at throughout. And the negative reviews that have circulated insisting there are no character development moments and that there was nothing to explain about the end of THOR and how he got back to Earth.....DID YOU WATCH THE SAME MOVIE, AND IF SO WERE YOU ASLEEP?

It's all there right in a tightly packaged 140 something minutes and explains all, although maybe not in the most satisfying way for all viewers as I would have liked to see Natalie Portman again and other elements from Captain America and Thor return........Watch it yourselves and ride the WHEDON roller-coaster..........IT'S GONNA BE A BUMPY RIDE.


AVENGERS RATING 9.5/10 (Hey, nothings perfect or what the hell would a sequel have to improve on!!)

COBIE SMULDERS RATING 10/10!!!!

Crush Of The Week #6

My turn for crush of the week this week so seeing as I've been watching a lot of Star Trek: Voyager after work for the last few weeks I think my choice is Jeri Ryan... Specifically her character in Voyager - Seven of Nine!

Sci-fi babes are my crushes of choice most of the time but out of all the babes from the Star Trek franchise I think Seven of Nine outdid them all for pure feminine awesomeness,  even my all-time favourite Terri Farrell (Jadzia Dax)! I'm even the proud owner of a life-size statue of Seven which will hopefully be signed by the lady herself during London Film & Comic Con 2012!













Lawless - Trailer

So many famous faces!

LAWLESS is the true story of the infamous Bondurant Brothers: bootlegging siblings who made a run for the American Dream in Prohibition-era Virginia. In this epic gangster tale, inspired by true-life tales of author Matt Bondurant's family in his novel "The Wettest County in the World", the loyalty of three brothers is put to the test against the backdrop of the nation's most notorious crime wave.

Red Dwarf Season 10 - First Official Image!

Holy crap! Huge fan of Red Dwarf so the following is excellent news for me!

From blastr.com:


It's been a while since we've heard from Lister, Rimmer, Cat and Kryten, the occasionally happy quartet at the center of the British sci-fi cult classic. But a new image reveals that all is well on the well-seasoned mining ship Red Dwarf ... or as well as can be expected.

The 10th series of Red Dwarf—the six episodes, filmed in front of a live studio audience, were shot last winter—is set to premiere this coming fall.

So if you've been hungering for a sci-fi sitcom without your cheesy canned laugh track, you'll just have to hold out a few more months.


The Expendales 2 - New Character Posters!

Here are a bunch of new posters for The Expendables 2... I think there's going to be an apocalyptic overload of testosterone in this film!













FOX Renews 'Fringe' For A Fifth And Final 13 Episode Season!



I cannot tell you how happy I am about this news...

After a stressful few weeks of "will it be cancelled or renewed?" Kevin Reilly, President of Entertainment for the Fox Broadcasting Company confirmed two days ago that they'd finally picked up Fringe for a fifth and final 13 episode season.

Fringe has consistently been one of my favourite shows for the past 4 years and I was devastated to hear last month that there was a possibility of it being cancelled. Hey ho, it's continuing and hopefully now that they know it's the last season we can get some closure and a kickass tearjerker finale! Woo hoo!
