We Have Always Lived On Mars
They've never seen the sky. Or the sun. Or the stars. Or the moons.
Is Mark Hamill actually sleeping in this picture? Does Star Wars bore you sir? Do you have a problem with Star Wars? Fine, we’re going to cast someone else as Luke Skywalker! Good day, sir!
Your collection of daily offsite links imagines a universe where Luke wakes up and was dreaming of all of us. Highlights include: The Wrath of Gonzo, Brad Bird dishes and more!
So the story is that there’s an interdimensional portal under the sea and something—maybe us?—accidentally opened it and WE’RE SORRY. WE DIDN’T KNOW. And now monsters. To which the only logical solution is to build robots to punch them. We like this plan! We’re excited to be a part of it!
Watch the new trailer for Guillermo Del Toro’s thought-vacation Pacific Rim. Because it is awesome. See that guy in the picture up there? We have no idea who he is. And we don’t care. Do you care? The monster is staring at him. That is what we care about.
Artist Jenny Parks has done us all a solid and re-cast many super-popular characters as cats. Thank you, Jenny! We think our favorite was this Katniss Catniss painting. Also, would a cat version of Katniss hate her family’s pet kat? Also, “the Cat on Fire,” doesn’t sound good at all.
(We saw this on The Mary Sue, Jenny Park art here.)
Your daily collection of offsite links features a giant J. Michael Straczynski, fake Robert Downey Jrs., and Star Trek, Star Trek, Star Trek.
Look, we have a thing that you want! At least, we sure wanted it, and were pretty pleased when it cropped up. It's the first two clips from Only Lovers Left Alive, starring Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton as rock-savvy vampires. Basically, it's The Hunger for all us kids who wonder why more vampire movies today aren't exactly like The Hunger.
It looks like J.J. Abrams has given Chris Pine a new ride and he promises she won’t get a scratch, but we really, really doubt it. Though the likelihood of him blasting some sweet beats while flying the Falcon are pretty high.
Your collection of daily offsite links includes a Robo-statue, more Star Trek/Star Wars collision, an impending Halloween treat and more!
ABC and Marvel Studios have released a 3-minute extended teaser for this fall’s Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. show which details the characters, situation, and the threats they face in much more detail. Also there’s lots of Coulson. Lots and lots of Coulson. (He’s yelling at the newbies! Oh we love that man.)
There’s also more information on the mysterious new superhero featured in the original teaser. The internet has been speculating that he’s playing Rage, or possibly a younger Luke Cage, but we think we’ve got him pegged, and it’s not either of those characters.
What would you do if you found out that the men in your family could time travel? Well, in About Time, the young man in question does the practical thing—he gets himself a girlfriend (Rachel McAdams) by going back and re-wooing her correctly. But the Butterfly Effect is still a possibility here and it looks like he might lose her forever by abusing the privilege. His dad is Bill Nighy, though, so he'll probably be all right. We're excited for this movie! It looks absolutely adorable, and will be out in the U.K. on September 6, so hopefully the U.S. will get it around about the same time.
Somewhere in the world, Nathan Fillion grabbed Zelda and stabbed Link, making him the most unbeatable boss in video game history. To be frank, we're a little worried about him showing up as the final boss in every single video game ever. How could anyone ever win again? And why would they want to?

Back in February, we reported on the first glimpse of the prequel movie Ghost in the Shell: Arise, will finally detail the story of how Motoko Kusanagi became a cyborg. Now, ahead of its Japan-only June release, here is a brand new trailer revealing some of the mysteries surrounding the origins of Section 9! Watch below.
Over the weekend Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was reported as being picked up for a series by ABC and the network wasted no time in releasing a teaser, which aired during this Sunday's episode of Once Upon a Time.
Watch below and discover the name of Coulson's car! Also, who's the new superpowered person on the scene?
We’ve known for awhile that the sequel to X-Men: First Class would probably take place in the 1970’s, but now we’re sure at least part of it does. A recently released set picture from X-Men: Days of Future Past clearly shows a young Professor X in full-on 70’s mode as he waits for the Concert for Bangladesh benefit show to start. Is this Xavier’s “lost weekend” look? Is McAvoy Xavier hooked on the disco drug scene? Is that why time travel is going to be needed? To stop the endless bingeing? Is Xavier making other people disco-dance with his mind? (Picture via superherohype.)
Your collection of daily offsite links is stayin’ alive with stuff like the Star Wars kid, Edgar Wright and more S.H.I.E.L.D. info than you know what to do with.
Astronaut Chris Hadfield has been living onboard the International Space Station for five months now, and has been charming the world from 230 miles above. Hear him sing David Bowie’s “Space Oddity.” Is it the best thing ever? Stubby says, yes.
We’ve all been waiting for some legit footage from the new Alfonso Cuaron sci-fi thriller Gravity. Now that it’s here, we’re not so sure we ever want to actually go into space. Gripping!
If we were to caption this, the caption would read, “No seriously George, I’m way too good for you.” Oh wait, we did do that. It’s sort of weird Han Solo wasn’t allowed to wear sunglasses for real in the Star Wars movies. It kind of makes sense, and he would have looked slick flying the Falcon whilst wearing aviators.
Your daily offsite links are leaning up against a tree, mad-dogging George Lucas. Highlights include, tons of Star Trek stuff, fake spoilers, real spoilers, and My Little Pony.
Neil Gaiman’s new Doctor Who episode, “Nightmare in Silver,” is set to air this weekend, but if you’re tired of waiting, a short scene has been released featuring Jenna Louise-Coleman and Warwick Davis!
Just kidding. Noel Clarke (AKA Mickey AND Rickey Smith) is totally supposed to be there! But why does he have a look on his face like he’s photobombing everyone else? What is he doing over there? Why is he making that face?
Your daily colleciton of offsite links is just like the parallel world on Doctor Who, only its easy to get there and Rose isn’t sad. Highlights include: Superhero name-dropping, maybe bad news about Jurassic Park, and more!
The latest trailer for the TV version of Stephen King’s Under the Dome is here! And though we’re totally excited about the potential of this show, particularly with Brian K. Vaughan adapting, we can’t help but feel baffled by the use of a faux-version of “All Along the Watchtower,” playing over the trailer. And really, that’s all we need to pretend that this is yet another prequel to Battlestar Galactica.
Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Martin Freeman and director Edgar Wright are back with their latest jam: The World’s End! We can’t wait for this one, and the first hilarious trailer is here! Watch it below.
If our favorite master of snark— Aubrey Plaza—remade Mary Poppins, we imagine the kids would never get their room clean, but might end up being happier. One thing is for sure, Aubrey Plaza Mary Poppins would never make them meet the “feed the birds,” lady. We saw this over on Next Movie and we loved it.
Your daily collection of offsite links includes a genre favorite in Transformers, a day in the life of Morgan Freeman, and an amazing commercial with two Spocks.
The reveal of the first trailer to the Ender’s Game movie came bundled with a Google+ Hangout and live chat with the movie’s director and screenwriter Gavin Hood, sci-fi screenwriter Roberto Orci, and Ender himself Asa Butterfield. During the half hour the trio revealed a few things about the making of the movie, including what we have all long suspected, that NASA Space Camp prepares you for anything.
