X-Men: Pryde of the X-Men

Dork Note: Marvel needs to release the X-Men: Pryde of the X-Men pilot and the three Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends episodes guest starring the X-Men on DVD!


Fun Fact: Funding for this pilot actually came from the budget for RoboCop: The Animated Series. Instead of making a 13th episode of RoboCop, Marvel Productions decided to use their funding to have Toei Animation produce the animation for this pilot.

Paramount SCREWS Star Trek fans for the Blu-ray release!

Dork Note: I just canceled my Pre-Order on Amazon! 


Clipped from io9: The official Blu-ray has seven mini-featurettes. Seems kind of bare bones for such a major summer release, eh? Indeed it does, because Paramount has divvied up all the other features — including the commentary tracks with the cast and director J.J. Abrams, and several additional featurettes — have been given exclusive to the Target release, the Best Buy release, and the iTunes download. Meaning 1) if you buy the normal version you're getting less than half the special features created for the home video release, and 2) if you want all of them you're going to need to purchase at least three separate versions.

Clipped from The Digital Bits: It turns out that more extras were created for this release – more featurettes and even an audio commentary with director J.J. Abrams and members of his crew.  None of it is available on the wide release Blu-ray or Blu-ray 3D SKUs.  The commentary can only be found as an iTunes “extra” download.  And those extra featurettes?  Some are on a Target bonus disc.  Some are on a Best Buy bonus disc.  And some are only available via CinemaNow and VUDU downloads.

Me Want - Carbonite Han Solo Fridge!

Artist Quentin Devine created this photoshopped image of a refrigerator that shows Han Solo frozen in carbonite on the doors. Quentin’s “Hanasonic” fridge was made for the “Fridges” image challenge at B3TA.

Rob's Room: Lobo's Back? WTF!?

According to Bob Harras, editor-in-chief of DC Comics, The Crow Lobo has a new look:
In this design, Ken [Rocafort] updated Lobo’s facial tattoos and weaponry by adding laser edges to his blades and gloves that’ll give him extra strength with their mechanical usage. In the end, Ken transformed Lobo into a lean, mean killing machine. 
Can you guess which of these four was selected?
If you selected the first of these four images, you are correct! Really! Now I get going with the last two intergalactic Dothraki Khal looks... but Lobo the Metrosexual Main Man?  He'd kick your ass for using alliteration in his name alone!  Not sure how they went from Bisley to this... someone, please explain!
 I think they are just messing with us... please... be messing with us...
