Bitten keeps interrupting its intense werewolf drama with boring humans

So about half of last night’s Bitten was a pretty compelling episode. The plot against the Danvers magnified, someone challenged Jeremy’s authority as Alpha, and there was murder and torture. And then half of the episode was spent in Toronto with Dull Boyfriend and his family in Toronto where nothing happens but agony. Seriously, there…

Man battles Darth Vader, Aliens, Predator, and more in epic proposal

Some people have to battle disapproving parents when trying to propose to their soulmates. Victor Delgado had a bit more trouble as evidenced in this scifi marriage proposal video, which took 50 people to make, several of Hawaii’s best cosplay groups, and months of shooting and editing. Worked, though. You can read more about how…

The full-length Guardians of the Galaxy trailer won’t premiere until Jimmy Kimmel Live later tonight, but here’s a quick 15-second preview of it — complete with our first look at Karen Gillan as Nebula! A surprising lack of Rocket Raccoon, though. Hmm…

Why this Robocop movie theme song was rejected I’ll never know

Sure, it’s basically unlistenable, the singers have adopted weird Russian accents, and it’s all obviously fake, but other than that, it’s awesome. You can’t argue with lyrics as genius as “When you look into his heart, all you see is wires.” SO DON’T BOTHER. [Via HuffPo]

​Relive the trauma of the Game of Thrones‘ Red Wedding all over again!

Kudos to HBO for this marketing campaign for the Game of Thrones season three set, which leads this week’s home video releases. There’s barely any show footage, just videos of people reacting to the infamous “Red Wedding” sequence in shock which will sell more copies than a regular trailer ever could. • Game of Thrones:…

The first video footage of Star Wars: Rebels is playing with fire

Two promos for Disney XD’s new Star Wars cartoon Rebels have finally been released, giving up us our first look at the show in action! At a glance it looks like Clone Wars, except we don’t recognize any of the characters. Also, the promos’ narrator seems to be a bit of a pyromaniac. He keeps…

​The 24 Most Embarrassing Dungeons & Dragons Character Classes

Fighters. Mages. Priests. Rogues. These are the primary four character classes in Dungeons & Dragons, and they have served the role-playing game well for over 30 years. But there are many others in addition to these — some awesome, some weird, and some just ridiculous. Here are 24 real D&D specialty classes that should force…

Meet the animated Batman action figures you always dreamed of

DC Collectables has just announced an all-new line of action figures based on the original Batman: The Animated Series and The New Batman Adventures. They’re six inches tall, based on Bruce Timm’s classic designs, and they are gorgeous and you will want to buy them all. Period. Batman and Catwoman have been revealed, obviously, and…

​Everyone is separated by zombies, united in misery on Walking Dead

That’s more like it. “Inmates” was really four minisodes detailing the post-prison escape stories of Beth and Daryl, Tyreese and the Carol Corps, Maggie and Sasha and Bob, and finally Glenn, respectively. And they were all far more engaging than last week’s last season premiere. But we’ll get to that in a second. First, the…

These first official Firefly action figures are not particularly shiny

You’ve waited a long time for Firefly action figures… and now you’re probably going to wait a little bit longer. Entertainment Earth has revealed the first pics of Funko’s retro-style, Re:Action Firefly figures, and something less than good. But don’t despair, because there’s still hope! While I like the Re:Action line in theory, especially for…

Learn how Hollywood screwed over the VFX industry in Life After Pi

In 2011-12, the VFX company Rhythm & Hues created the astounding effects for Ang Lee’s gorgeous movie The Life of Pi. Then they went bankrupt, fired their staff, and went out of business. Two weeks later they won an Oscar. The new documentary Life After Pi shows how this insanity was made possible. As we’ve…

​God’s 12 Biggest Dick Moves in the Old Testament

Before Jesus arrived and his divine father chilled out, the Old Testament God was, ironically, kind of a hellraiser. He was not a nice guy. He really liked killing people. And he may have actually been insane, if his willingness to randomly murder devout worshippers like Moses was any indication. Here are the 12 craziest,…

The insane glory of Jodorowsky’s Dune revealed in new trailer

A brand-new trailer for the documentary about Chilean director Alejandro Jodorowsky’s failed attempt to make a Dune movie has dropped, and the look it provides at what could have been is fantastic, bewildering, and a little soul-crushing, mostly because we never got to see Salvador Dali as the Emperor of Space. That’s just one of…

Rocket Raccoon and Groot rule in Guardians of the Galaxy test footage

The first trailer for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy will finally drop on February 18th, but if you just can’t wait, here’s two very short clips of test animation, featuring Rocket Raccoon gunning down enemies with a semi-automatic while on top of the alien-tree-man Groot. It’s a tad awesome. [Via Gamma Squad]

The sixth and final season of Clone Wars will debut on Netflix

Those waiting for Clone Wars: The Lost Missions to get some kind of closure for the hit Star Wars cartoon won’t need to wait much longer. The never-before-seen final episodes will debut on Netflix on March 7th, and here’s the first clip featuring a very special cameo! The 13-episode Lost Missions season will premiere along…

Listen to the entirety of The Lego Movie‘s awe-inspiring Batman song

In a movie full of awesome moments, Batman’s self-composed theme song from The Lego Movie may be the awesomest. But you only got to hear part of it! Here’s the full-length track, which should be legally required to accompany every single Batman appearance from here on out. [Via Badass Digest]

In Beautiful Darkness, a fairy tale life is inextricably tied to death

You’ve seen countless stories about cute little creatures living secretly in our world, but you’ve never read one like Beautiful Darkness. It’s a world that’s as adorable as it is cruel, where life is beautiful but also cheap, and where death is omnipresent… in more ways than one. Read our exclusive preview and learn why…

All the studios and the Marvel heroes they own in one handy graph

If you’re not a professional nerd, it can be tough remember which studios have the rights to which Marvel comics characters, especially since Marvel Studios only has some. So the Geek Twins have made this handy (and adorable) chart to help you keep ’em straight. I totally forgot Universal had Namor. Get on that, guys.…

Donal Logue joins Gotham as Det. Harvey Bullock

And here’s the best casting news for Fox’s Batman-less Batman show so far: the extremely talented Donal Logue will play Detective Harvey Bullock, joining Ben McKenzie as Jim Gordon, and all these people. I don’t know if it’ll make up for a 12-year-old Bruce Wayne, as some rumors report, but it’s a start. Here Bullock’s…

​Why the 1989 Batman movie is still the best

Greetings, friends! I’m proud to announce my first line of specialty stamps available here in the post-apocalypse! It’s a set of drawings of refrigerators, light bulbs, fast food, air conditioners, toilet paper and the like. I call it the “Shit We Really, Really Miss” collection. Now onto your letters! This Town Needs an Enema Brent:…
