I’m not a guy that gets jealous easily, but I am envious of those of you that got the chance to go to WonderCon as be there for all the cool new sneak peeks. At a WonderCon panel for ‘ThunderCats’, a new trailer for shown to the crowd and from the looks of it, its pretty awesome. I do admit it seems like the animation and production was a bit rushed as it doesn’t look clean. I always put Japanese animation at the highest standards and it doesn’t seem to meet it with ThunderCats. Maybe there was issues with time and the budgets and they did what they can do so I can’t really blame them. However, from the looks of it, I do love the new character designs in action and Lion-O is lookin’ pretty fierce. I can’t tell whether I will like this new series compared to what I watched as a child and that is going to be some big shoes to fill. Regardless, I think I will enjoy the hell out of the new series and the toy line as well. THUNDERCATS… HOOOOOOO!

This has been a huge weekend for ‘Green Lantern’ fans. Earlier last week, the attendees at CinemaCon got a ten minute glimpses into Warner Bros. new movie and the reviews have been mixed. Some say that it’s still terrible and some are raving saying it was amazing. One of the funniest comments I saw was someone described Green Lantern as the next ‘Howard the Duck’. Ouch! While CinemaCon was reserved for industry only, Warner Bros. released four minutes abridged version online from the footage shown at WonderCon during the weekend. I would have to say that the footage is much better than the first trailer and seems to have more of a serious undertone to the film that the trailer lead us to believe. While we will most likely never see the ten minute CinemaCon footage, I am still skeptical about whether this movie is going to be any good. Some of the scenes are very impressive, but four minutes of “good” footage doesn’t really say much. As of right now, I’m neutral and going to have to see it in the theatre to make my final judgement whether it was brilliant or just a hot mess. Expect a new Green Lantern trailer with the release of ‘Thor’.
‘Green Lantern’ opens in 2D/3D in June 17, 2011. Hit the jump and check out the WonderCon footage!

Who loves ‘Left 4 Dead 2′? I do! I do! I love running around with a fully loaded AK-47 mowing down the undead in a carnival. So you can imagine how gitty I got when I found out about this awesome interactive ‘Left 4 Dead’ movie by the creative crew at The Game Station (@tgstation). The idea is simple. Follow Husky, Dodger, Biscuit, Schroeder, and Total Biscuit as they try to survive a zombie infestation (ZOMG! JUST LIKE IN LEFT 4 DEAD!). As you watch the movie, you will come up to a point where you will have to decide the next move for the group. Once you made your choice, click the link and move onto a new video which shows whether your decision was the right one or not. Unfortunately, if you choose wrong, you die. When I came to making my choices, I was helpless. I automatically fell head over heel for Dodger (@HeartToContinue) and started following her around no matter how stupid the decision might be. Also, I tried to stay as far away from the guy with the plastic broom. Seriously… when zombies are knockin’ on your door, you’re going to go for the broom made by Rubbermaid? Geez buddy… I would ditch your ass if this was in real life.
Hit the jump and start your adventure with The Game Stations’ ‘Left 4 Dead’ Interactive movie!

It’s Friday. It’s April Fool’s Day. Why not enjoy some cool covers of theme songs from our favorite cartoons when we were kids? Thanks to Topless Robot, we are introduced to Jason Munday (@jasonmunday), Jimmy Wong (@jfwong), and Alexander Carpenter (@alexcarpenter) who boldly does the least manly thing ever. Sing the theme songs to ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’, ‘Duck Tales’, and ‘Pokemon’. I do like the cleverness of the cover and these three guys really compliment each other. I do applaude their crazy enthusiastic showmanship. My favorite has to be Alex’s (right) rendition of the Duck Tales song and his crazy animated hands. It’s almost like his arms are loaded with a six pack of Monster energy drinks. I also think it’s pretty funny that the one Asian guy in the group (Jimmy on left) is the guy singin’ the Pokemon song. I liked it! I also like the rockabilly twist on the Ninja Turtle theme song by Jason. Damn! I pretty much liked them all. Go figure.
You know what. I take it back. These guys are the three manliest men I have seen all week. People shouldn’t fuck with them. Now can I request a song? I would love to hear the theme song for ‘Darkwing Duck’, ‘Gummi Bears’, and ‘Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers’.
Hit the jump and check out Jason, Jimmy, and Alex’s awesome cover song! \m/

ThinkGeek has been infamous for their April Fool’s Day tricks for many years now. When April 1st comes around, ThinkGeek features products that you would kill to own. Unfortunately, as soon as you try to add the product in your shopping cart, you get a huge pop up tell you “April Fools” in which you have mixed emotions of sadness, embarrassment, and anger. It’s not all bad. Sometimes, an April Fools item can be so awesome that the fans demand it to be made and in fact it does. Where do you think the Star Wars TaunTaun sleeping bag came from? April 1, 2009 of course! I just wanted to take the time to spotlight some of this years best from ThinkGeek. Hopefully, with enough people bitching, these can become real in the near future.

This is really odd. Just couple days ago during a radio show held by The Power Geeks (@thepowergeeks) and Kristen Rielly of The Geek Girls Network (@geekgirls), we were chit-chatin’ about how ugly the new “fixed” Wonder Woman costume still was and how it didn’t seem to fit on Adrianne Palicki correctly. We were joking about how the pants were so baggy (enough to tuck a roll of quarters in it) so they can avoid the dreaded “camel toe” and how her top was so damn low that one or both of her boobs were going to pop out. It was all for laughs, but deep inside, we knew we were serious. Well, right now, the big thing going down in Hollywood is the filming of David E. Kelly’s ‘Wonder Woman’ pilot in front of the famous, El Capitan Theatre. Fans, tourists, press, random onlookers, and paparazzi were out in full force to take any candid photos and video of Adrianne in her costume. Even iGT featured it on our site couple days ago. Well, considering there are HUNDREDS of amateur photos and videos out on the web, somebody apparently caught a little “nipslip” (nipslip is the term used for “an accidentally revealed nipple.”) action during a chase scene through the streets of Los Angeles on his freakin’ iPhone!!! Thank God for the iPhone! It’s a bit blurry, but it still proves the point that there can never be enough double-sided tape. Check it out before YouTube removes it. Damn them.

This is sick. This is gruesome. This is absolutely the craziest shit I have ever seen in the world of toy customization. Digital illustrator/sculpture, Jason Freeny (Moist Production) seems to be intrigued by what makes some of our favorite animated character tick. Unlike most of us (including myself) who did everything and anything to tear into a toy to see what was inside only to be disappointed that there was absolutely nothing, Freeny take it even further by designing and sculpting the inner parts of our favorite characters such as SackBoy (LittleBigPlanet), Stewie (Family Guy), Yoshi (Super Mario Bros.), and more. Freeny creates everything from the skeleton to the inner organs and beautifully places them in a cross section of some of our favorite toys. I do have to say that my favorite of Jason’s collection has to the “little green men” from ‘Toy Story’. Maybe this is what they look like after Spike blows them up in his backyard. You might think its cruel to cut up a perfectly good toy, but what I see is a sacrifice made to create something even more beautiful. You can follow Jason’s amazing work on his DeviantArt page and on his Facebook page. It’s awesome.
