Start Off Your Day With Contre Temps, A Stunning Animated Post-Apocalyptic Short

If the apocalypse does plunge our world under water, I hope that it ends up more like this gorgeous animation by The Contre Temps Team, and less like Waterworld. I could just stare at the backgrounds in this short all day, but the quirky characters definitely add their own charm to the video. Between the mesmerizing visuals and the serene music, nothing much even needs to happen in the first minute of the video to capture your attention. (via io9, Vimeo) Previously in Animation

Tina Fey is Producing A New NBC Comedy With A Female Writer and Female Lead

The end of 30 Rock may have left a cheesy-blaster shaped hole in fans' hearts, but there's hope. Soon you can experience more of the genius of Tina Fey on television, sort of, with a new television show for NBC. Fey will be executive producing a new show written and produced by another funny lady, former 30 Rock writer Colleen McGuinness. The show sounds like it will carry on the spirit of popular sitcoms, which hopefully includes a touch of the madcap dysfunction of Liz Lemon's workplace.

Extended Gravity Trailer Gives Us Five Terrifying Minutes of Sandra Bullock Floating In Space [VIDEO]

The new extended trailer for Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity gives us a bit more plot to go along with the terror we have come to know from previous clips. There is plenty of hurtling through space on the part of stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, but there is also a good hint at how their nerve racking ordeal starts, thanks to some tense radio communications with Earth. The film is set for release on October 4, 2013, and will, obviously, be in IMAX theaters and in 3D, to ensure that you feel as alone and uncertain as the characters floating in the vacuum of space as you view the truly terrifying looking thriller.

You Can Buy Your Own Dragon (Sort Of) With This Game Of Thrones Season 3 Box Set

Okay, the dragon on this limited edition season 3 Blu-ray/DVD box set can't engulf your enemies in flames. Still, the planned look of the new Game of Thrones set is quite fun, taking the coolest part of the Season 3 marketing campaign, the dragons' shadows, to the next level. The set, which also includes a digital copy of the season, is $104.99 on Amazon, so it turns out that even inanimate dragons are quite expensive. Plus, the image above is only an artist's rendering, so the design could change a bit. Still, a dragon seems like an effective way to guard precious Game of Thrones DVDs, and the resemblance the box set bears to a grave stone definitely lets you know what you're getting into before you hit the end of the season.

Available exclusively on Amazon, you can pre-order the set now in advance of its February 18, 2014 release.

This Mini Metroid Movie Will Make You Want A Full Length Animated Film

This Super Metroid animation is so serene and well drawn that you could almost forget that there is a giant monster bearing down on our hero. Of course, the visuals combined with the monster fighting power of Samus Aran are what make me think that this needs to become a feature length animation. The short animation was created by artist Dave Rapoza, who, sadly, did not animate it as a sign of more Metroid movie magic to come, but as a means of learning more about animation.

Google Maps Easter Eggs Lets You Journey To The Center of The TARDIS

Google Maps already allows us to observe earth from great heights and go anywhere we want in seconds, so it was only a matter of time before the TARDIS got involved. If you search for Earl's Court Road, one of the locations of an actual, blue police call box in London, you can not only admire the outside of the police box, but also enter the TARDIS control room. For proof that it really is bigger on the inside, head past the break for photos of the interior, and check out the Easter egg for yourself at Google Maps (click on the double arrow pointing up toward the TARDIS). You can explore the entire control room and zoom in on an amazing number of switches and other design features. Plus, take a look at some helpful reviews from TARDIS visitors.

Batman Is Done With Crime Fighting, Prefers To Sit Back With A Good Book

Photographer David Ngo snapped this photo of a very relaxed Batman during San Diego Comic-Con. He could be taking it slow, waiting in line for the Game of Thrones panel, and enjoying his retirement. On the other hand, the Bat could be subtly advertising for the new web series The Dark Knight Retires, which launches tomorrow. Either way, it's nice to see Bruce Wayne kicking back and letting others take on the vigilante justice for a while. (Via Fashionably Geek) Previously in Cosplay

Good News Tumblr, Thor: The Dark World Can’t Get Enough of Loki Either, Hiddleston Filming More

More and more recently, it seems as if Thor: The Dark World is really about Loki. Between his new hairdo and the slap he receives, the fan favorite caught the majority of the attention, at least on the internet, when each of the new trailers came out. Disney's D23 Expo has only brought more news of Tom Hiddleston and the trickster god he's famous for portraying. Hiddleston himself seems to be enjoying the filming, and director Alan Taylor and company seem to want more Loki as well. Taylor is apparently adding multiple scenes to the film, which comes out on November 8, and many of the new scenes feature Loki.
