The Force Collectables – Chewbacca bath robe
It’s pretty much ‘Dead Like Me’ meets ‘Men In Black’ with Rooster Cogburn and Green Lantern as partners; looks pretty good.

Hollywood strikes again!
What better way to start a Saturday morning than with a good ole-fashioned ninja fight? Campy awesomeness at its best, although this may also be spoiling the best part of the new ‘G.I. Joe’ movie, so watch at your own risk.
‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’ drops March 28th, 2013.
Thumbs and Ammo is an image blog that features characters in movies, television shows, and the like that have been Photoshopped to replace any firearms they have been holding with a thumbs-up. Anyone can contribute their own altered image, and they’ve all been pretty amusing so far.

Tony Swatton of MAN AT ARMS custom creates 6 hardened steel batarangs that are more practical (in function, at least) than the standard affair seen in the various Batman films.
Female Super Hero Fan Film from Jesse V. Johnson on Vimeo.
Wonder Woman beats up the Nazi menace in this fan trailer directed by Jesse V. Johnson and staring Nina Bergman as the titular heroine.
The original ‘Die Hard’ done as a musical from the perspective of Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman). There’s a bit of salty language and violence, but it’s ‘Die Hard’, so that’s expected.
It’s been said before, but this is totally ‘Die Hard’ in the White House.
‘RED 2′ drops August 2nd, 2013.
The redband trailer for Arnold Schwarzenegger’s latest film, ‘The Last Stand’, features over-the-top action, a bit of coarse language, and, most importantly of all, gratuitous violence. Looks like a winner to me.
‘The Last Stand’ drops January 18th.
Alright! A bit more footage from the upcoming J.J. Abrams ‘Star Trek’ sequel; bring on the lens flare!
‘Star Trek: Into Darkness’ drops May 17th, 2013.
I think I’m going to let this trailer speak for itself.
This fantastic design from graphic designer Ian Leino combines two of the greatest properties of all time, Star Wars and James Bond, into a printed t-shirt that reminds all that Han Solo is awesome (and it’s implied he shot first). Manufactured and printed in the USA on American Apparel 100% soft jersey cotton shirts.

Hooray! Hollywood is completely missing the point of the book being an account of a world recovering from a massive zombie war as told from the perspective of multiple people. Instead, they’ve turned it into a generic modern zombie flick with a god-like-solve-all-problems solo protagonist in Brad Pitt! I’m totally sure it’s a way better story.
In (the unlikely event) you missed the news, Disney purchased LucasFilms and most, if not all, of its assets for 4 billion dollars. I wonder if we’ll finally see a blu-ray release of the original, unaltered trilogy now that Lucas and his “vision” isn’t holding it back. I also request a version of ‘Crystal Skull’ with all scenes featuring Shia LeBeouf either altered or completely removed.
‘Flare’ is a video series by Forth Wall Studios that takes place in a post-apocalyptic world (sans zombies, as far as I can tell) where the sun, moon, the stars, and electricity went out. What makes it interactive, so to speak, is it’s one of Fourth Wall’s RIDES series, where the viewer can give additional info, such as their phone number and email, to receive messages detailing other elements of the story to further deepen the experience.
You can watch the first episode titled ‘The Hunt’ here.
So, out of all the ‘old’ action star films coming out in 2013, what’s looking best? This, that new Sly Stalone movie, or the Arnold flick I wrote about a while back?
