Just when you thought Doctor Who/Back to the Future mash-ups were going out of style, this awesome one showed up. We really like picturing Tennant with the crazy mind-reading hat on his head, and also the idea of Billie Piper playing lead guitar in The Pinheads. (Art via The Mary Sue. Artist: Sara Wheeler.)

Andrew Garfield dressed as Spider-Man plays basketball

Andrew Garfield recently took a break from filming Amazing Spider-Man 2 in Chinatown to shoot some hoops with local kids... while dressed as Spider-Man. While Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) looks on. We love this town!

This is one of those moments where you have to both love the internet and everything about new Spider-Man movies.

Watch the fan video below. (Via New York Daily News)

New Man of Steel trailer

Warner Bros. has released a new (possibly final) trailer for Man of Steel that essentially serves as a message from Zod to Kal-El and the people of the Earth. If we don’t surrender our greatest hero, he will destroy us. It’s... a little intense.

Watch the new trailer below! And check out our rundown of the new prequel comic, which reveals some of the backstory behind Krypton and how Clark discovers the legacy of his people.

The desert space pants worn by Mark Hamill in Star Wars: Episode IV are up for sale if you want them. The opening bid seems to be $100,000 dollars. You wanna wear Luke’s hipster pants for $100,000 bucks? We wonder if you really care about anyone. (We care.)

Your daily collection of offsite links cares. A lot. Also, pizza is for some reason referenced in three different ways. We don’t plan these days, they just happen.

Wolverine trailer Silver Samurai

Good news! The new trailer for The Wolverine, which hits theaters on July 26, is all about being driven insane by your own life while having to fight huge samurai robots and snake women anyway. In fact, we hear that the working title for this movie was Wolverine: Goin’ Crackers.

Seriously, the premise is that X-Men: The Last Stand was so bad that it drove him crazy, which actually sounds like a pretty solid premise. Check out the trailer below.

Doctor Who River Song timeline

It would seem that River Song’s arc on Doctor Who has come to an end in “The Name of the Doctor” (Although as always that will remain to be seen.) so Doctor Who Online’s senior art editor Will Brooks put together this nifty infographic that illustrates how her twisty timeline matches up with the Doctor’s. The full hi-res version is up on Photobucket (it’s gigantic, so follow the linky-link to see the whole chart) but we’re not sure we’re convinced yet. Does this timeline work for you? Can we ever be certain if we don’t get direct confirmation from the characters? After all, those season 6 “First Night / Last Night” minisodes were never given precise dates....

Star Wars Rebels animated show

After the conclusion of The Clone Wars, and the general restructuring of Lucasfilm under Disney, the future of Star Wars animation was in question. Until now! Star Wars.com has just revealed that a new series called Rebels will air beginning in 2014. Focusing on the years between Episode III and Episode IV, Rebels will (shockingly) deal with how the rebels got their groove on as the Empire was rising. Below is a video from Star Wars.com featuring some of the creators talking about the project.

It apparently took a gentleman named Vassal about a year and half to make Babylon 5 out of LEGO. Apparently he had to figure out some balance issues, but with a little bit of help from the Vorlons, it all worked out. No word on what happened to LEGO Babylons 1-4. (Though we imagine the first three were sabotaged and the fourth disappeared without a trace.) More pics here.

Pacific Rim trailer

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.)

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.

Marvels Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. J. August Richards Patriot

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?
