'The ABCs Of Death 2' Directors List Gets Weird And Awesome, Adds Bill Plympton
Posted 5/16/13 1:55 pm EST by Charles Webb in Horror, Movies, News
One of the great things about an anthology is getting a collection of interesting directors to play around in an interesting genre or milieu. The first "ABCs of Death" took it one step further, though, and nabbed 26 directors from around the world to tell weird, funny, and gross horror stories. Sure, they may not have all landed, but it was an interesting experiment.
Well, during Cannes, Magnet Releasing announced the production of a sequel, "The ABCs of Death 2," and the initial director's list is as odd and interesting as the film is likely to be.
Star Trek: Become A Member Of Starfleet Thanks To These 3-D Printed Figures From Cubify
Posted 5/14/13 2:30 pm EST by Lemonjuice McGee in Movies, News, Toys
Fact: Everyone would love be immortalized in toy-form. Actually, I'm sure someone, somewhere, is incredibly freaked out at the possibility of that. Perhaps they believe their soul will be stolen by the plastic effigy in some kind of 1980s low-budget, straight-to-VHS, kinda way. I don't really know. What I DO know is that, thanks to Cubify, you can have your very own 3-D printed figurine -- and it'll be "Star Trek"-themed! Yep, as you sit in theaters this weekend, watching "Star Trek Into Darkness", a tiny version of you could be tucked in your pocket, decked out in an official Starfleet uniform. Hey, that's far less creepy than any other situation we can think of that would involve you touching yourself in your pocket.
Win!

Posted 5/10/13 10:12 am EST by Lemonjuice McGee in Hasbro, News, Toys
During Toy Fair 2013, Hasbro unveiled yet another incarnation of their Transformers franchise: Construct-Bots! These figures move beyond just the construction/customization-aspect of their Kre-O brand by incorporating ball-joint articulation and the ability to transform without being disassembled! Bumblebee was one of the first to be shown (of course) thanks to the massive popularity he’s garnered over the last few years, but today MTV Geek is bringing you an exclusive first look at the upcoming Scout Class and Elite Class assortments—including, my favorite Decepticon, Shockwave!

The 'Under the Dome' Trailer Definitely Seems Reminiscent Of The Book
Posted 5/8/13 2:09 pm EST by Charles Webb in Horror, News, TV
CBS has released the first trailer for their 13-week adaptation of the small town sci-fi thriller "Under the Dome." And yep, those are definitely some characters in a small town trapped under a dome, so as far as it goes, writer Brian K. Vaughan is staying true-ish to Stephen King's utterly terrible novel.
Still, the writer behind "Y: The Last Man" has surely figured out more interesting story beats than "teen randomly goes crazy, starts filling a cabinet with women" or "meth-addicted religious fanatic makes friend, has very little bearing on the rest of the plot."
'[REC] 4: Apocalypse': Will The Series Go Out With A Bang?
Posted 5/8/13 10:36 am EST by Charles Webb in Horror, Movies, News
Bloody Disgusting got the chance to debut the first teaser poster for "[REC] 4: Apocalypse," the final chapter in Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza's first-person not-quite-zombie series. The poster's fine, putting Angela (Manuela Velasco) front and center, now possessed by the demonic entity which is responsible for the rapidly-spreading plague of the flesh-eating possessed.
The question is, after the stellar second entry, 2009's "[REC] 2," and the lackluster detour into horror comedy with "[REC] 3" (and a solo directorial effort by series co-creator Plaza; Balagueró is directing "Apocalypse" on his own), can the "[REC] 4" bring a fitting end to the series?
