Cheers! We’ve got the exclusive premiere of artist Alex Pardee’s take on Edgar Wright’s apocalyptic pub crawl movie, The World’s End. Behold Pardee’s grotesquely beautiful creation.

What movie have you watched 1,000 times, and will never stop?

Some movies you race out to see on opening weekend, only to forget them moments later. But some movies will live in your heart forever. They are the ones you’ve seen 1,000 times. The flicks that you’ve smashed into your eyeballs so often the DVD is worn out. Hell, maybe you even own a VHS…

The cast of Kick-Ass 2 explain their new powers, cuss us out

We spoke with the newly-rebooted Motherfucker (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), the brand-new super Dr. Gravity (Donald Faison) and new Kick-Ass 2 character John Leguizamo all about blood, guts, costumes, and swear words. It was awesome. Behold the next group of little ass kickers from Kick-Ass 2. Christopher Mintz-Plasse: The first movie was just bubble gum and blood……

First Iron Man 3 Deleted Scene Shows the Mandarin on the Job

One, tiny complaint about Iron Man 3 — not NEARLY enough Ben Kingsley. So here you are! More Ben Kingsley getting ready for his Mandarin close up. “Let’s make television!” Spoiler question: was this scene cut because it gave away the Mandarin’s big reveal? Maybe.

What the hell is going on with True Blood?

Sometimes, when a series is comfortable with its fans, it will take giant leaps of faith that are no longer aimed at the casual viewers, but just for the die-hards. Like the end of Battlestar Galactica. Or this latest episode of True Blood, where a human person bites into their own arm and doesn’t scream…

Max Landis: You might not have liked my Chronicle sequel idea

We’ll never get to see the sequel to the found-footage superpower movie Chronicle that writer Max Landis dreamed up. But now, Landis is saying that we might be just as happy that we didn’t. And he’s spilled some details about what would have happened. Over on his twitter account, Landis revealed his plans for a…

OH MY GOD Bret McKenzie is making a Labyrinth style musical

We’ve been waiting anxiously for Bret McKenzie (the tiny kitten-shirted costar of Flight of the Conchords) to get another music project. And now he has — and he says it’s akin to the classic fantasy movie Labyrinth. EVERYBODY FREAK OUT. Ever since McKenzie won an Oscar for his work on the Muppet Movie, we knew…

Watch a short film about the Machine of Death that predicts your end

Machine of Death, the science fiction anthology that infuriated Glenn Beck, is back in another fantastic iteration. We’ve seen it in print and supported it becoming a card game — and now the Machine of Death is a hilarious short film. https://gizmodo.com/indie-science-fiction-anthology-incurs-the-wrath-of-gle-5676104 https://gizmodo.com/crowdfund-games-based-on-chemistry-and-machine-of-death-5984875 Directed by Michael Mohan, and written by Mohan and webcomic creator David…

Finding Nemo 2 was changed thanks to the Blackfish documentary

There may be something darker brewing under the surface of the Finding Nemo sequel Finding Dory. Turns out the absolutely devastating orca documentary about the killer whale Tilikum (who killed three trainers) has altered the movie’s ending. At D23 Pixar announced their plans for the fishy sequel, without a hint of a darker SeaWorld-slamming story.…

First footage reactions for Maleficent and Tomorrowland from D23

Ditching Star Wars for fairy tales, the D23 live-action panel just wrapped up without saying a damn thing about Episode 7. Which, wow. Sorry if you were looking forward to that. But on the plus side, the very first footage from the live-action Cinderella and Maleficent were screened, and they sound fantastic. Plus Damon Lindelof…

Behold San Fransokyo from Disney’s first animated Marvel movie

Big Hero Six will be Disney’s very first animated Marvel feature — taken from the lesser known, but highly praised, Japanese superhero manga of the same name. Check out this brand new artwork.

The Disney Characters You Never Saw

Disney movies are full of beloved characters, from the famous Princesses to the swashbuckling heroes. But what about the Disney characters that never made it to the screen?

Here are the most surprising Disney characters that you never knew existed. https://gizmodo.com/a-ton-of-disney-princesses-drawn-in-the-comic-book-st-5875331 Aladdin’s Mom – Aladdin…

Crispin Glover reveals why he was replaced in Back To The Future 2

Little known fact: Crispin Glover refused to be in Back to the Future 2. So director Robert Zemeckis hired a doppelgänger, put him in makeup, and used old clips from Glover’s past work on set to fill in any holes. Needless to say, that pissed off the actor (who sued). And now, many years later…

Tarsem Singh’s next movie sounds insane, in a good way

The Cell and Mirror Mirror director Tarsem Singh has found a new project to put his unique stamp on. And it sounds a little nutty, but maybe this could pull him out of his recent rut. Titled The Panopticon, the thriller follows a character who receives a message from his future self, urging him to…

Full trailer for Masters of Sex shows the long, hard road of sexology

Here’s that Walking Dead/Scooby-Doo crossover you’ve always wanted. Ever since the amazing Travis Pitts “Thelma and Scooby kill all the zombies” art dropped back in 2009, there have been a plethora of good Scooby Gang Vs. Zombies tributes.
