Ever wondered what the newly revived MTV series Beavis and Butt-Head would look like in real life? Well…too bad, we’re going to show you anyway!

Special effects and make-up whiz Kevin Kirkpatrick is the man responsible for bringing the underachieving animated duo to life. If you’ve not heard the name before, you’ve most definitely seen his work. He’s done make-up work on the Friday the 13th, The Wolfman, and Nightmare on Elm Street remakes, as well as upcoming titles like The Avengers, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, and Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln (ironic, eh?). [...]

A couple of official images of star Johnny Depp as the vampire Barnabas Collins in Tim Burton‘s adaptation of Dark Shadows, the horror fantasy TV series that ran from the late ’60s to the early ’70s.

The first was released not too long ago and can be seen above (also featuring Michelle Pfeiffer), while the other is new and can be found lurking at the bottom of this post! [...]

With the live-action remake of the seminal 1988 Japanese animated futuristic action epic Akira that absolutely no one was asking for recently being shut down due to budgetary concerns (apparently Warner Bros. thinks a sprawling science-fiction adventure set in a dystopian future can be made for less than the cost of an Adam Sandler movie) there’s no time like the present to begin your appreciation of the original manga-inspired film. [...]

It’s been more than seven years since Vin Diesel last put on the goggles and black wife beater to play the dangerous and resourceful criminal anti-hero with exceptional night vision that helped make him an unlikely movie star. Now production has began on Riddick and Diesel has posted the first photo of himself in costume from the film’s set on his Facebook page.

You can check out the image here below. [...]

Clicking this it was assumed that it would be a waste of time…and it still very well might be, if it turns out to be bogus somehow.

But at first glance, a slew of comparison pictures seems to indicate that the school in the hit 1999 survival horror video game Silent Hill was in fact the very same school Arnold Schwarzenegger found himself teaching kindergarten at in the 1990 flick, Kindergarten Cop. [...]

I’ve made it clear in the past that in recent months Community has become one of my absolute favorite television comedies of all time. So as I and millions of fans of the show around the world anxiously await its still-undated return it’s time that we take stock of Community‘s limitless supply of awesomeness and how it can be applied to other geek-related properties.

We’ve seen the Community‘s cast of characters depicted in fan artwork as Batman villains and the Avengers. Now artist Aviv Or has outdone them all with his vision of Greendale Community College’s finest study group as Marvel Comics’ uncanny team of super-powered mutants, the X-Men. [...]

The LA Times has a preview of the upcoming Judd Apatow movie, This is 40, which is a spin-off of his 2007 comedy Knocked Up.

The movie focuses on Pete (Paul Rudd), Debbie (Leslie Mann), and their two daughters Sadie (Maude Apatow) and Charlotte (Iris Apatow), who were all at the heart of Knocked Up as Debbie’s little sister Alison (Katherine Heigl) accidentally gets pregnant after a one night stand with Ben (Seth Rogen), a stoner and lovable loser type she met at a club one night. [...]

The Dark Knight Rises, Christopher Nolan‘s fond farewell to the good people of Gotham City (that’s budgeted at $250 million), is without a doubt the movie event of 2012. Therefore who else would grace the cover of Entertainment Weekly’s 2012 Preview issue but the Dark Knight himself, played by franchise star Christian Bale, in all his caped-and-cowled splendor?

You can check out the EW cover along with three Dark Knight Rises stills featured in the issue here below. [...]

Back in December two very cool posters for the upcoming alternate history flick Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter were released.

Now a third and equally cool poster has hit the ‘net, and you can see it here by continuing on below now.

The movie follows our 16th president, telling the story of his secret life as a vampire hunter, which began when he was a young man after his mother was attacked and killed. [...]

Universal Pictures has released a new image and international poster for their upcoming summer tentpole sci-fi action board game adaptation Battleship.

Both the poster and image feature the same theme: humanity overwhelmed by massive alien technology. The studio is hoping the multiple Transformers connections and similarities will help make Battleship a huge hit. It couldn’t hurt. [...]

At the recent Television Critics Association press tour AMC announced that the episode order for the third season of their popular post-apocalyptic horror-drama The Walking Dead has been increased to 16, as opposed to 13 for the second season. They also released the poster for the show’s mid-season premiere next month.

You can check out the poster, featuring a stark and powerful shot of the show’s main character Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), and a press release here below. [...]

No one seems to know the original source of the above photo, but I think we can all agree, it’s pretty awesome.

Captioned “The commercial side of Tatooine,” the image shows a Sandcrawler on a populated beach on the desert planet of Tatooine.

Sandcrawlers are vehicles in the Star Wars films used by the Jawas to transport droids they find and sell, like C-3PO and R2-D2. The Jawas live on Tatooine — that’s where Luke Skywalker grew up and then later faced Jabba the Hutt in Return Of The Jedi [...]

Video games? Booze?! Go on, I’m listening…I’m listening.

2011 saw some incredible video games released (mostly in that small chunk of fall when bunches of them were raining down on us), but what can make a great video game even better? Why, an adult beverage concocted in the name of these very same games, of course. [...]

Our colleagues in chaos over at Dark Horse Comics were kind enough to give us an exclusive first look at two horrifically awesome covers from their upcoming Creepy comics! You can check them both out here below.

First up we’ve got Creepy Quarterly #8. This cover, which depicts one very unlucky individual’s encounter with a stake and some rope, was created by Richard Corben, whose work you’ll recognize from Creepy, Eerie, Hellboy, Jonah Hex, and most recently Men of War. The 48-page issue is set to hit the stands on April 4th, and features stories and art by Jeff Parker, Doug Moench, Rick Geary, Colleen Coover, Kelly Jones, and Richard Corben, as well as a throwback story from Bruce Jones and Bernie Wrightson! [...]

The United Federation of Planet’s most famous science officer, Spock, took a moment to extend us all a very logical bit of goodwill for the holidays. I don’t know about you, but I plan on adopting this as my de facto greeting from this day onward [...]
