It was confirmed yesterday that Expendables 2 co-stars and longtime friends Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone would be reteaming for the director Mikael Hafstrom's The Tomb.

The Tomb will be shot in Louisiana this Spring, so how did these two action icons get ready for their next big-screen effort? With some buddy shoulder surgeries!

Schwarzenegger tweeted a photo of Stallone and himself in hospital gowns lying side-by-side hospital beds awaiting their turns for shoulder surgery. Check out the photo, which the former California governor posted to his Who Say account, here below [...]]]> http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2012/02/10/schwarzenegger-stallone-ready-for-the-tomb-with-shoulder-surgery/feed/ 0 http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2012/02/10/george-lucas-says-han-never-shot-first-star-wars-just-a-movie/ http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2012/02/10/george-lucas-says-han-never-shot-first-star-wars-just-a-movie/#comments Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:01:24 +0000 Empress Eve http://www.geeksofdoom.com/?p=137781

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Star Wars creator George Lucas talked about his view on making changes to his fan favorite films, and goes so far as to say that "it's just a movie."

The filmmaker, who is the mastermind behind the Star Wars mega-franchise, which includes six big-screen live-action movies, has come under fire for decades now due to his propensity to make changes to the films, much to fans' dismay. In the interview, Lucas said while other movies gets revisions over time without backlash, when he makes "the slightest change, everybody thinks it’s the end of the world."

One of the most controversial alterations Lucas made was having Greedo the bounty hunter shoot first in his confrontation with the smuggling space pilot Han Solo in the first Star Wars film (Episode IV: A New Hope). Now, Lucas is saying that it was always Greedo who shot first, we just didn't see it [...]]]> http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2012/02/10/george-lucas-says-han-never-shot-first-star-wars-just-a-movie/feed/ 7 http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2012/02/10/deal-bettie-page-pint-glass-set/ http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2012/02/10/deal-bettie-page-pint-glass-set/#comments Fri, 10 Feb 2012 13:50:33 +0000 Empress Eve http://www.geeksofdoom.com/?p=137866

Would you want Nutella if you knew Indiana Jones desperately desired it, so much so he'd risk his life for it?

Well, that's what the makers of the chocolate-hazelnut spread hoped when they came up with a commercial showing Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones risking death by booby-trap in order to steal not the golden idol, but rather a jar of Nutella.

The rare old commercial, which was put on the European VHS edition of Raiders of the Lost Ark, is now online thanks to Canadian cartoonist and videographer Paul Covello, who unloaded this gem to YouTube.
