Sylvester McCoy, the seventh actor to portray The Doctor on classic British TV show Doctor Who, made his first appearance at Dragon*Con today.

Not only did McCoy reveal the humorous origins of his name, but the actor also read a scene from recent Doctor Who episode The Pandorica Opens, which was originally performed by Matt Smith.

Why would McCoy do such a thing?

Partially, I think it’s because he is very fan friendly. The reading was done at the request of the panel moderator, who wanted to dispel the notion that McCoy was a bad doctor by giving him some decently written dialogue [...]

The Inbetweeners Movie
Starring Simon Bird, Blake Harrison, James Buckley, Joe Thomas, Greg Davies, Emily Head
Directed by Ben Palmer
Released date August 17 2011 (UK)
November 25, 2011 (U.S.)

We all know that moment when our school life is officially over. No more teachers, no more school room politics. Real life, it is usually officially decided, is about to start and things will only get better. Many go on a lads/girls only holiday where he/she will drink/puke and definitely – finally – get laid/syphilis.

This is where we find our four heroes of The Inbetweeners Movie. Simon (Joe Thomas) has been dumped by his girlfriend Carli (Emily Head) and is in desperate need of a change of scenery. So free from the constraints of their respective creepy, obnoxious, sexy, perverted parents and scary, potentially violent teacher (Greg Davies), Simon along with Will (Simon Bird), Jay (James Buckley), and Neil (Blake Harrison) go on a ‘lads only’ holiday to the beautiful party resort of Malia.

Their hotel is a dump – the kind of place where the landlord pulls a dead dog out of the well. There are stains on the mattresses and new lifeforms growing in the fridge. Undeterred, the lads head out on the town looking for, ahem, “pussay.” [...]

I don’t know about you, but if I see the name Christopher Lloyd on a movie, I’m watching it.

This weekend, Lloyd’s new film InSight will be released in limited theaters, and also stars Sean Patrick Flanery (The Boondock Saints), Adam Baldwin (Firefly), Natalie Zea (Justified), Thomas Ian Nicholas (American Pie), and Veronica Cartwright.

You can check out the trailer here below for the film, directed by Richard Gabai, but I’ll be honest — the trailer doesn’t do the movie justice. Matter of fact, it plays like a Funny or Die parody of a psychological paranormal thriller. So, maybe skip the trailer and just go by who’s actually in the movie.

Oh, and the story, story is important too: an ER nurse (Zea) gets zapped while trying to revive a dying woman who’s been stabbed. She then immediately gets the woman’s memories; of course, everyone thinks she’s nuts now and she’s basically going nuts because she’s got this other chick’s memories taking over her brain. So, understandably, she sets out to solve the crime on her own and then luckily the detective on the case (Flanery) teams up with her. Lots of crazy shit happens and there’s stuff about life to be learned too, and apparently, about the dangers of defibrillators [...]

D*CTV, the good folks who provide video entertainment to the 40,000 convention attendees at Dragon*Con, has released a new sketch that picks fun at two characters that are either extremely loved or extremely hated the world over: Edward Cullen and Bella Swan.

Below is the video they produced parodying the 1989 romantic comedy When Harry Met Sally — only using the two most popular characters from Twilight.

From the video description:

“Want to watch a movie about two people who communicate poorly and take far too long to hook up? Well, enough about Billy Crystal movies … here’s a Twilight parody. [...]

A new poster has been created for the indie horror–comedy, Tucker & Dale vs. Evil. The poster comes from comic book artist Tony Moore, who’s worked on everything from Punisher, Ghost Rider, and Venom, as well as The Walking Dead, which has nabbed him two Eisner Award nominations.

The movie tells the story of Tucker and Dale (Firefly‘s Alan Tudyk and Reaper‘s Tyler Labine), two hillbillies who are on vacation at their secluded mountain house in the middle of the woods. When a group of preppy college kids come to their area as for a getaway, they automatically assume Tucker and Dale are dangerous serial killer types. But when one of their friends has an accident and Tucker and Dale try and help, the kids’ assumptions of their murderous intent only grows, which only leads to messy consequences.

You can see the Tony Moore poster as well as the red band trailer (NSFW), by clicking on over to the other side now. [...]

Along with announcing their 90–minute premiere of season 2 of The Walking Dead, AMC also announced a new reality series called Secret Stash.

The show takes place at writer/director/producer Kevin Smith‘s famous comic book store in Red Bank, New Jersey, Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash. The aim is to show the day–to–day of the comic shop, as well as the fanboy culture that surrounds it. The first season will arrive in early 2012, and the first season will run six episodes, each an hour in length.

Of the announcement, Smith said “Draper. Meth. Zombies. This show couldn’t be on a better network. AMC is to television what Miramax was to cinema back when I first got in the game: they’re the premier destination for any story-teller looking to spin an offbeat yarn that no other outlet has the stones to touch. And as if I didn’t love them enough, now they’re putting my friends on TV! I’m ecstatic, proud, and extremely lucky to be in bed with a network I watch religiously anyway.” [...]

On Sunday, October 16 at 10pm, the highly anticipated second season of The Walking Dead will premiere on AMC.

To add to the excitement fans have for the 13–episode second season, AMC has also announced that the premiere episode will run 90 minutes in length, much like the pilot episode did last Halloween when the show first began.

Now the only question that remains—after showrunner Frank Darabont was supposedly fired, for which AMC has faced a ton of backlash—is if the same large following will continue to watch the show, or if some fans will have shunned it.

There are a lot of great comic book art blogs out there, beyond the deviantart pages of the world, and if you’re a comic book fan, these are webpages that you should be checking out on a daily basis. All this week, I’m going to highlight a few that I think are worthy of your attention or are just pages for some of my favorite artists.

Today, we look at a collective webpage, Comic Twart. Comic Twart was started in early 2010 and features work by nearly 20 different artists, who generally tackle a theme each week and show their different takes on that week’s theme. The artists involved include Mike Hawthorne, Chris Samnee, Mitch Breitweiser, Tom Fowler, and Dave Johnson. The theme is generally a specific character, but it could be a more general concept. Recent themes have included Giant Monsters, Power Girl, The Flash, and Space Ghost [...]

Don’t ask me how this is possible, but Guitar Hero on Tour Decades Bundle for Nintendo DS is on sale right now for only $2.84.

Yes, you read that right – it’s under $3. I don’t even own a DS, yet I’m about to buy 10 copies. The bundle comes the Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades game, as well as a guitar grip peripheral with wrist strap and a special stylus pick.

This is 89% off the list price of $24.99, so there’s a chance this is just some kind of error and the price will be back up any minute. Who knows? But, obviously, if this is an item you’d like, grab it right this second.

You know, when it comes to a man who could fit the title of Goliath, who better than Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson?

Relativity and Temple Hill Entertainment think the same thing, as the pair have tapped Johnson for the role of Goliath in a new take on the biblical story David and Goliath with Taylor Lautner being eyed for the role of David, according to Twitch. Goliath will be helmed by The Day The Earth Stood Still director Scott Derrickson [...]

With a full-fledged, live-action Captain Planet film on its way thanks to Cartoon Network, it’s time for Funny Or Die to give it a try. And I must say, it does to great avail.

Starring Don Cheadle as the man in blue, the short sees Cap going off on various people, and ultimately both a city, and even an unlucky Planeteer. And yes. It’s that damn good.

Even though the film’s still being shot, that doesn’t mean that people aren’t still freaking out about the upcoming big-screen version of The Avengers, especially when it comes to random, if cool, pieces of promotional material.

SpiderMedia has released a pair of promotional art pieces for the film, which hits on May 4, 2012. The film stars the cast of characters led by Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Clark Gregg, Samuel L. Jackson, Cobie Smulders, Tom Hiddleston, and Stellan Skarsgård [...]

Super
DVD I Blu-ray
DIRECTOR: James Gunn
WRITER: James Gunn
STARRING: Rainn Wilson, Ellen Page, Liv Tyler, Kevin Bacon, Michael Rooker, Nathan Fillion, Gregg Henry, Sean Gunn
IFC Films
RELEASE DATE: August 9, 2011

Just recently I reviewed a little indie flick called Griff the Invisible, one of three fairly recent movies about normal everyday folks creating and becoming their own superheros. The other two are 2010′s Kick–Ass, and director James Gunn‘s Super.

At the time, I said that the three movies shouldn’t be compared (having a basic understanding of Super but not having seen it yet), and now, having seen all three, this is confirmed: all three are unique in their own special ways, and all three are very much worth seeing.

Super tells the story of Frank D’Arbo (Rainn Wilson), a lowly and rather pathetic man who works as a cook at a local diner. [...]
