‘GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY’ poster features The Rocket and the Tree

the rocket

Makes sense that the first character poster for Guardians of the Galaxy is trumping up the Rocketing Raccoon and the Tree Guy. The fuzzy one is seeming like a soon-to-be-star, and Disney hasn’t missed a chance to point out that his body guard is voiced by Vinny Diesel. Behold the full version post-cut.

Dude selling WORLD’S LARGEST VIDEO GAME COLLECTION. Anyone got $800,000?

This fuckin' guy.

Michael Thomasson has a serious fuck load of video games. Like — way lots. And now the dude is selling the world’s largest gaming collection to provide for his family. Which makes me wonder out loud, why didn’t he just temper his obsession and provide for them on the go? Ah, whatever. Cause MATERIALISM, I suppose.

‘GHOSTBUSTERS’ haunting theaters this year for 30th Anniversary Celebration

Ghostbusters!

Oh man. Somewhere right now in this Universe our own Rendar Frankenstein is arching his back in a pants-splitting ejaculation rocket. Yes, it’s true. We are telepathically connected. Yes, this means I get strange boners in the middle of the night when he’s watching Only God Forgives for the 300th time in order to write a term paper about Lacanian Something Such. But it also means that *me* knowing about a Ghostbusters return to theaters means *he* also does. And I imagine he’s happy.

‘EPISODE VII’ Set Photos: Real creatures, vehicles, sets, oh my

episode vii

These pictures have been on the Internet for like twelve hours now. Which in World Wide Web time, is a year and a half. In Fanboy-Geekstream time it’s something like three millenia. But I don’t care! I want to cover it. Here’s a batch of photos from an Episode VII set. They feature a gargantuan creature, some sets, and a vehicle. I know that there are those out there already all like “Listen excited fanboy, the Prequels actually had real sets, too.” I GET IT. Just let me be excited. I need this. For my mind.

Cosplay: Never Enough WONDER WOMAN. Never.

Gnarly!

Some more Wonder Woman cosplay up in the house! I’m particularly smitten with the battle armor-powered Wonder Woman cosplay that seems to be more popular these days. Hell yeah. (What a wonderfully unremarkable bit of prose in here, I know.)

Lucasfilm addresses ‘STAR WARS’ EXPANDED UNIVERSE. Dismisses It. And Keeps It?

THE STAR WARS SWINE.

Lucasfilm has finally come out and smashed the hopes, dreams, and dork-souls of many an SW:EU fan. Or maybe not? Frankly, it seems like they’re sort of doing two things. 1) Stating the obvious. Which is to say VII-IX is obviously not going to fucking follow the EU. 2) Announcing that the EU content will be slowly appropriated into the new Standardized Canon as they see fit, or perhaps more specifically as it can be made to fit.
