YIPPEE!!

Imagi, the grunt behind this fantastical graphical wonderment, have recently posted a few more snapshots of what we can expect here and there are now two trailers and the original teaser showing off some incredible CGI magic.

Do not doubt for one second that the depth and darkness of the original Astro Boy -- created by the unquestioned God and creator of Manga, Osamu Tezuka -- will not be nipped and tucked for the family friendly demographic that the trailers seem to be aiming for.

Let's be honest here, over the years Astro Boy has been reworked in cartoon format at least three times [...]]]> http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2009/08/31/astro-boy-looms/feed/ 0 http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2009/07/07/significantly-dated-123456-789/ http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2009/07/07/significantly-dated-123456-789/#comments Tue, 07 Jul 2009 18:03:48 +0000 Groovespook ClocksConvergenceNumbersNumericNumerologyPost MeridiemSequenceSequentialSynchronicitiesTimeUnique http://geeksofdoom.com/?p=24277

I know that October 2009 is still a considerable distance for people who have not yet mastered the traversing of parallel universes in order to cheat time, but the trailer recently appeared on astroboy-themovie.com and I am SUPER STOKED!

Watch the teaser trailer here below and check out the phenomenal action that IMAGI have, once again, masterfully employed. And check out the voice talent -- Nicolas Cage, Freddie Highmore, Kristen Bell, Bill Nighy, Nathan Lane, Eugene Levy, Donald Sutherland, Matt Lucas!!!

IMAGI are the tech gurus behind the recent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Digitization. Say what you will about the plot, the apparent lack of zaniness we are used to with the TMNT crew, but can you fault the graphics?

Anyone who saw the first Robot Chicken: Star Wars Special will know, this will be a RIOT. GoD salutes Seth Green and the whole crew from Stoopid Monkey/Robot Chicken for continually managing to demonstrate the firepower of their fully operational comedic genius at the innocent and peaceful planet of the dull and treacherous everyday.

The recently released South Park: The Complete Eleventh Season holds another 14 episodes of manic and uncensored hijinks from the infamous clan of Cartman, Kyle, Stan, and Kenny as they continue to boldly go where nobody really should in grade 4.

The Season Eleven DVD of the Comedy Central series includes the three-episode "Imaginationland" arc, which was released separately on DVD earlier this year.

“Special features are bad, mmmkay?”

As anyone with any previous seasons experience will tell you, they are a long way from special. Only Stone and Parker’s commentary at the beginning of each show gives us any insight into how this brilliant abomination of 2D animation comes to life and how intense it must be to be on the staff…]]> http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2008/09/16/dvd-review-south-park-the-complete-eleventh-season-uncensored/feed/ 0 http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2008/08/20/dvd-review-robot-chicken-star-wars-special/ http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2008/08/20/dvd-review-robot-chicken-star-wars-special/#comments Wed, 20 Aug 2008 13:51:00 +0000 Groovespook Matthew SenreichRobot ChickenSeth GreenStar Wars http://geeksofdoom.com/2008/08/20/dvd-review-robot-chicken-star-wars-special/ Robot Chicken on Adult Swim. Take away any form of guidance whatsoever and let a couple of graduates from "The Eternally Revolving College of Beer Pong" revel in their own distinctive, twisted, sometimes sick humor with absolutely no compromise. Add to the mix the fact that the characters in this entirely stop-motion animated show come from the graveyard of toys and action figures from the last 20 odd years of television and movie marketing and you have the ingredients for some serious side-splitting laughs. Enter the newly released DVD Robot Chicken: Star Wars Special. The brainchild of Seth Green and Matthew Senreich under the guise of Stoopid Monkey Productions, in conjunction with Alex Bulkley and Corey Campodonico’s ShadowMachine. Just under half an hour of action figures and remodeled toys from various Star Wars movies parading around in a collection of skits from deep within the insanity that is Stoopid Monkey Productions. Seriously, Boba Fett's private moment with the carbonite-encrusted Han Solo? Admiral Ackbar Cereal? This stuff is mad funny and I think I have now watched the DVD 5 times already. Hey, it's under half an hour and the work these animators put in really deserves closer inspection...]]> http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2008/08/20/dvd-review-robot-chicken-star-wars-special/feed/ 1 http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2008/05/19/dvd-review-speed-racer-the-next-generation/ http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2008/05/19/dvd-review-speed-racer-the-next-generation/#comments Mon, 19 May 2008 21:48:48 +0000 Groovespook Kurt CsolakNicktoonsPeter FernandezRobbie SublettSpeed RacerSpeed Racer the Next Generation http://geeksofdoom.com/2008/05/19/dvd-review-speed-racer-the-next-generation/ http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2008/05/19/dvd-review-speed-racer-the-next-generation/feed/ 2 http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2008/05/07/dvd-review-the-life-of-mammals/ http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2008/05/07/dvd-review-the-life-of-mammals/#comments Wed, 07 May 2008 11:06:32 +0000 Groovespook BBCDavid AttenboroughThe Life of Mammals http://geeksofdoom.com/2008/05/07/dvd-review-the-life-of-mammals/ http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2008/05/07/dvd-review-the-life-of-mammals/feed/ 1 http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2008/04/03/music-review-my-blueberry-nights-music-from-the-motion-picture/ http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2008/04/03/music-review-my-blueberry-nights-music-from-the-motion-picture/#comments Thu, 03 Apr 2008 17:58:29 +0000 Groovespook Amos LeeCassandra WilsonCat PowerChirikara TsuzukiGustavo SantaolallaHello StrangerMavis Staplesmy blueberry nightsNorah JonesOtis ReadingRuth BrownRy CoodersoundtrackWong Kar Wai http://geeksofdoom.com/2008/04/03/music-review-my-blueberry-nights-music-from-the-motion-picture/ http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2008/04/03/music-review-my-blueberry-nights-music-from-the-motion-picture/feed/ 0 http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2008/01/05/dvd-review-sonic-underground-vol-1/ http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2008/01/05/dvd-review-sonic-underground-vol-1/#comments Sat, 05 Jan 2008 16:51:12 +0000 Groovespook Jaleel WhiteSonic the HedgehogSonic Underground http://geeksofdoom.com/2008/01/05/dvd-review-sonic-underground-vol-1/ http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2008/01/05/dvd-review-sonic-underground-vol-1/feed/ 0 http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2007/11/20/music-review-vanessa-carlton-heroes-and-thieves/ http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2007/11/20/music-review-vanessa-carlton-heroes-and-thieves/#comments Tue, 20 Nov 2007 12:04:23 +0000 Groovespook Heroes and ThievesStephan JenkinsStevie NicksVanessa Carlton http://geeksofdoom.com/2007/11/20/music-review-vanessa-carlton-heroes-and-thieves/ http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2007/11/20/music-review-vanessa-carlton-heroes-and-thieves/feed/ 3 http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2007/11/12/astroboy-movie-concept-art/ http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2007/11/12/astroboy-movie-concept-art/#comments Mon, 12 Nov 2007 18:58:11 +0000 Groovespook Astro BoyColin Brady http://geeksofdoom.com/2007/11/12/astroboy-movie-concept-art/ http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2007/11/12/astroboy-movie-concept-art/feed/ 2 http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2007/10/25/conversations-with-god-shreds-mastermind-santeri-stsanders-ojala/ http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2007/10/25/conversations-with-god-shreds-mastermind-santeri-stsanders-ojala/#comments Thu, 25 Oct 2007 14:57:05 +0000 Groovespook GuitarGuitaristOzzy OsbourneShredsStSandersYouTube http://geeksofdoom.com/2007/10/25/conversations-with-god-shreds-mastermind-santeri-stsanders-ojala/ http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2007/10/25/conversations-with-god-shreds-mastermind-santeri-stsanders-ojala/feed/ 1 http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2007/09/30/dvd-review-felix-the-cat-golden-anniversary-edition/ http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2007/09/30/dvd-review-felix-the-cat-golden-anniversary-edition/#comments Sun, 30 Sep 2007 14:56:16 +0000 Groovespook Felix the CatJohn CanemakerPat Sullivan http://geeksofdoom.com/2007/09/30/dvd-review-felix-the-cat-golden-anniversary-edition/ Felix the Cat has all 31 episodes from the 1958-59 TV series, plus a short film made in 1920 that is tagged as the precursor to Felix.]]> http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2007/09/30/dvd-review-felix-the-cat-golden-anniversary-edition/feed/ 2 http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2007/09/26/music-review-lindsey-boullt-composition/ http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2007/09/26/music-review-lindsey-boullt-composition/#comments Wed, 26 Sep 2007 20:04:19 +0000 Groovespook Atma AnurDerek SherinianGuitarJeremy ColsonJerry GoodmanLindsey BoulltMingo LewisMusic ReviewPeter Van GelderStu HammSukhawat Ali Khan http://geeksofdoom.com/2007/09/26/music-review-lindsey-boullt-composition/ Compositions comes off as a very tasty and well-recorded fusion of some unexpected styles and some intense tune-smithery.]]> http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2007/09/26/music-review-lindsey-boullt-composition/feed/ 3
