I'd Hit It With An Inverse Tachyon Beam

The brand-new trailer for the new Star Trek movie is out, and it's making me go all fanboy... Action packed space battles! Sex! Actors that don't look like they need to empty their colostomy bags! It's everything the previous Star Trek movies weren't... and that's a good thing.

My Stomach Just Popped a Boner

I stumbled across the information on how to construct a Bacon Cheese Pizza Burger today, and I have to say I'm stoked. I cannot think of a more exciting and enjoyable way to make myself epically sick than the beautiful marriage of too much ground beef, too much bacon, too much cheese, and two large-ass pizzas!

Of course, I'm one of those rare few people for whom cholesterol is an urban legend and still wear the same size pants they did in high school. Those of you who get winded moving from the bed to the couch might want take caution in their approach to this culinary masterpiece...

Time To Saw My Own Legs Off

Nadya Vessey lost her legs at the knees when she was a child... and now special effects and costume design company Weta Workshop has built a prosthetic, fully-functional mermaid tail for her at her request.

The tail is composed of wetsuit fabric and plastic and is custom painted, and allows Nadya to swim effectively.

This is so cool I don't even know where to begin. If we had the technology to give me gills too, I'd be chopping at my knees with a hatchet while typing this.

The Systematic Rape Of Our Childhood Continues

Universal Pictures has announced intentions to develop a new movie based on the best-selling game Clue, with Gore Verbinski (of Pirates of the Caribbean fame) as director.

I only have one problem with this... it was already done back in 1985, and was poorly received by critics and moviegoers back then (I loved it, but I'm notorious for liking bad movies). Remaking a movie that wasn't terribly successful the first time around sounds an awful lot like Einstein's definition of insanity.

The only way in hell I'd go see this is if Tim Curry reprises his role as the butler.

Joss Whedon Does It Again

Being a huge Buffy and Angel fan, I was a little leery of Whedon's latest creation, Dollhouse... especially after hearing the concept. Questions like "Can this really work without being corny?", "Will enough people 'get it' to carry the series?", and "Why am I talking to myself while sitting alone in my underwear?" ran through my mind before I took the plunge and watched the first two episodes back-to-back.

Well, I can tell you this... it isn't corny. It's smartly written, action-packed and compelling to watch. I really hope enough people get it so that it sticks around for awhile. I do, however, need to start wearing pants more often.

Who are we kidding? It's a good show, which means by the end of this season Fox will have moved its timeslot around three times and cancelled it before the season finale.

Data vs. Picard... WHO YA GOT?!

Brent Spiner at a convention last year busting Patrick Stewart's chops (while being filmed by Michael J. Fox, apparently). Good times, good times... if these two are STILL doing conventions after all this time, they must really like their fans.

Is it just me or does Patrick Stewart not age? I'm starting to wonder if he has a portrait in his attic.

It's Never a Good Idea

Usher's wife Tameka Foster almost died over the weekend, due to complications with the liposuction procedure she was receiving... in freakin' Brazil.

Look people, I've said it before... what kind of lunatic goes to South America for medical care? I'd rather let an American veterinarian operate on me before I'd take an aspirin in Brazil.
