Of all the upcoming films for the holiday season, this is the one I’m looking forward to the most.

While it looks like something Iron Man would wear, it’s the X-Men that inspired this pyrotechnic wonder.  I just hope Johnny Knoxville doesn’t get a hold of this.

The latest episode of The Variants has landed on YouTube, and we’re sharing it with you today.

Yes, there is something strange in the neighborhood…

You meatbags never cease to confuse me.  This is why my brethren will never be able to take over the world, thus confining us to a life of managing a  team of weirdos running this website.

I’ve mentioned before that I’m learning the ukulele, and YouTube is a perfect place to find lessons and tutorials on playing the instrument.  I’ve almost nailed the Spider-Man theme song, and it’s all thanks to this installment of the Friday Sing-Along.  If you play the uke, this installment is a perfect combo of singing and learning.

I’m a big fan of the new web series The Variants by Joe Cucinotti and shot on location at Zeus Comics in Dallas, Texas.  There’s a new Halloween centric episode coming out in the next couple of days, and the teaser reminds us of the Dracula centric episode of Buffy from a few years ago.

If you ever laid awake at night worrying about the Milky Way galaxy colliding with another, then perhaps Felicia Day explaining what really happen might make you sleep better at night.

Felicia Day explains some of the science behind galactic “collisions,” including the upcoming collision between the galaxy Andromeda and our own galaxy, in this mock behind-the-scenes look at the making of a NASA educational video. Sean Astin also stars.

I like this on a number of levels – animation, art style, the fact that it is all in Klingon – and combining them together in one bit totally rocks.  It’s nice to see there are actual gems to be found on YouTube.

Apparently that whole Mephisto wish has given Spider-Man a bit more time to pursue his other activities; namely running a rick-shaw around NYC and getting passengers to throw up.

What is it with performance art and pop culture?

If you’ve ever wondered what Stormtroopers do on their down time, wonder no more as one was captured on the streets of Harajuku busting a move.

The release date for Toy Story 3 draws ever closer, and Disney has sent Major Spoilers the new trailer to the movie.

The creators of the beloved “Toy Story” films re-open the toy box and bring moviegoers back to the delightful world of Woody, Buzz and our favorite gang of toy characters in TOY STORY 3. Woody and Buzz had accepted that their owner Andy would grow up someday, but what happens when that day arrives? In the third installment, Andy is preparing to depart for college, leaving his loyal toys troubled about their uncertain future. Lee Unkrich (co-director of “Toy Story 2” and “Finding Nemo”) directs this highly anticipated film, and Michael Arndt, the Academy Award®-winning screenwriter of “Little Miss Sunshine,” brings his unique talents and comedic sensibilities to the proceedings. TOY STORY 3 will be presented in Disney Digital 3D™ in select theaters.
