Call of Duty Ghosts

In the past, when developers have shown me kill crazed zombies attacking military personnel, I've been tempted to play. Today, Activision showed me a game with an emotional core, insane graphics and ...a soldier puppy...and I aim to play it....when I can afford that damn XBOXone...probably in about two years. I'M A'COMMIN FOR YOU.....SLOWLY!!!

A New "The Wolverine" Trailer

Complete with a roboty looking Silver Samurai and Viper with a snake tongue, which of course makes me think this one will probably miss the mark again. Don't get me wrong, I'll still be there opening night, but with very low expectations.

Holy Crap Someone Made Buffy Porn

Don't know how I missed this. Knowing me, I didn't, we talked about it, I saw something shiny, my world marched on and then I rediscovered it today. It's fun having a brain like mine. The world is always newwww. Anyways, after a weekend filled with Star Trek, Aquabats, The Cottage and The Steampunk World's Fair, I thought we'd kick Monday off right...with porn. Helloooo Lexi!



The Buffy the Vampire Slayer XXX trailer is from 2012, so I assume this title is available already. Don't pretend you aren't Googling it right now.

The LEGO Star Wars The Yoda Chronicles Mystery Box

I LOVE MYSTERY BOXES!! ...Even thought my history with mystery boxes tells me not to expect much. Often, the mystery box contains some silly Hollywood movie viral. For "Let Me In", I was sent a funnel in an evidence bag with fake blood on it. For the last "Final Destination" movie, one of the items was a wrench. ..........A wrench. I kid you not. I own a Final Destination Wrench. Today's box should have had me lower my expectations, but the name "LEGO" on the address label raised an eyebrow. LEGO almost never sends anything to the Idle Hands offices! I slowly sliced along the tape, making the reveal move in artificial slow motion, like a mini Christmas morning circa 1984...but this time I've only got one present and I need to make the moment last.

The Official Main Trailer for Pacific Rim

When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes—a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)—who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse.
 
From acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes "Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures' Pacific Rim."  In theaters July 12th.

NY Upfronts: ABC's New Lineup

Twice a year, in LA, all the journos I know sit in on presentations an conduct interviews for all the new TV/ Cable shows headed our way. Once a year, those same networks get close enough to New Jersey that I can get in on the action. The presentations held as part of the New York Upfronts are probably more showy than those in LA, but then they are meant for advertisers who drop big money to have their products featured, and so a little zazz is expected. This week we'll take a look at the new shows headed your way, of course focusing on the geekiest among the bunch, but also including the occasional show with talent we love and/or film makers that would make us watch.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Trailer Goes LIVE!

So, in case you missed it, this IS taking place right after the events from The Avengers, so Coulson being alive is not the stuff of prequels. Someone will have to tell us what the hell happened there. Joss Whedon was on hand at the ABC NY Upfront and remarked that this show is about ordinary people trying to cope in an extraordinary world..and that's exactly what we should be getting in a TV show! What else do we want? Plenty of references within the Marvel Universe, nods to movie events, new characters and perhaps some lifted right from the comics and, of course, Coulson LIVES!! Seems like Whedon is down to give us all that and more, with a gooey emotional center. Tune in Tuesday nights at 8 on ABC! Coming soooon...

Downton Abbey Jewelry Available Now

The truth of the matter is, when a company takes on an accessory or jewelry license for a TV show or film, they are often producing products sold fairly cheaply at Target or Khols department stores, so it is refreshing whenever we spot someone going above and beyond to bring fans a little glitter from their favorite show and care to make it look fantastic. 1928 has been cooking up some Downtown Abbey inspired jewelry that remain affordable while looking amazing...
