OMG: Super Best Friends Forever Exclusive Merchandise At SDCC This Year

by Jill Pantozzi | 12:10 pm, May 20th, 2013

If you love the Lauren Faust created DC Nation short, Super Best Friends Forever, you’re in luck. Although we won’t be seeing any more animated shorts (at least anytime soon), DC has made the wise decision to create a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive statue set. USA Today has the rest of the DC con exclusives but we have tunnel vision right now. Take our money. Take it now. The three together will run $49.95 and of course, you’ll have to physically be at SDCC or know someone going to get one. Or risk scary Ebay prices after the fact.

In Case You Haven’t Heard, Tumblr Has Been Bought by Yahoo!

by Susana Polo | 11:44 am, May 20th, 2013

I say “in case,” because there were rumors of this last week, and Yahoo announced that they’d be announcing the purchase of Tumblr yesterday, and even when I turned on the radio this morning, it to hear legitimate news outlets attempting to talk about the ball of bizarre that is the Tumblr blogging platform. I also say “in case,” because Tumblrers have been understandably flipping their wigs about it, so I should say up front, “in case,” that the above image isn’t an officially changed logo, it’s just something that the internet whipped up in the past few days. Other things the internet has whipped up in the past few days? The idea that Yahoo is going to eradicate fandom blogs from Tumblr.

Yeah. That’s not a real thing, gullible underbelly of Tumblr. Lets talk about real things.

by Susana Polo | 11:27 am, May 20th, 2013

The BBC promised, and have delivered: in thanks for the spoiler-filled silence of two hundred and ten fans who were accidentally shipped their Series 7 DVDs, containing this weekend’s season finale, quite a bit early, we get to see this brief video of David Tennant and Matt Smith chatting about being the Doctor and what it’s like to be on the set of the 50th Anniversary special.

Star Trek Into Darkness Goes, and Goes, Just Not Very Boldly

by Zoe Chevat | 11:03 am, May 20th, 2013

Into Darkness, that colon-less second installment of New Trek kicking off the summer season is a lot of things, including plentifully humorous, bombastic, well-designed, and confused about its purpose. Like the villain that menaced us from all those teaser posters, Into Darkness makes us wonder what, ultimately, it’s up to. Identity is a key factor to wonder about as, two movies in, even casual Trekkie patience is worn thin by a stream of visual and idealistic incursions that belong to other films. Make no mistake; Into Darkness is a good popcorn-crunching experience, swift on its feet and full of action and jokes. It’s just not, like its predecessor, much of a Star Trek film.

Ensign, take us to SPOILERS.

Please Don’t Pop These Pop-Culture Balloons

by Jill Pantozzi | 10:17 am, May 20th, 2013

I’m no expert but Michael Abrahamson seems to be pretty damn good when it comes to balloon art. And he’s always up for a challenge, in case you were wondering. Take a look at which Disney, video game, and comic book characters he’s created with little rubber and some air.

Patton Oswalt’s Star Wars/Marvel Rant Gets An Animated Short Film [VIDEO]

by Rebecca Pahle | 6:00 pm, May 19th, 2013

In case you’re one of the five people who hasn’t seen it yet, last month Patton Oswalt improvised an eight-minute rant on what star Wars: Episode VII should be like (keywords: Boba Fett, Tony Stark, X-Men, robot spider Chewbacca) for an episode of Parks and Recreation. And now Isaac Moores has created an animated version of that pitch. It’s geek-o-licious. Enjoy.

Nutella Lawyers Are the Anti-Nutella, Shut Down Fan-Created World Nutella Day

by Rebecca Pahle | 3:58 pm, May 19th, 2013

First, a caveat: Nutella totally counts as a geeky interest, thank you very much. And now it’s an area of geekitude that’s being threatened by The Man. The Man in this case is Ferrero, the company that makes Nutella, which shut down World Nutella Day with a cease and desist letter to its founder, Nutella superfan Sara Rosso.

Also, by “anti-Nutella” I mean “the anthesis of all that is good in the universe. Or “the opposite of Batman,” whichever you prefer.

First it was famous works of art on toast. Now we have monsters, plus the occasional superhero and Game of Thrones character, as sandwiches courtesy of New York-based art director Kaisa Haupt. Writing this post has made me hungry. I could really go for a Captain Hamerica right about now.
