Batman: Arkham Origins Brings us its First Teaser Trailer: It’s Snowy, Showy, Punch-y and Kinda Sucky (VIDEO)

Batman Arkham Origins Teaser Header
Does ANYONE do a stubbly fury-face like Mr. Wayne? Hell no.

As with its fellow ball-busting blockbuster coming at the ass-end of 2013, Grand Theft Auto V, Batman: Arkham Origins does like firing out the subtle info-nuggets. In our last visit to the world Warner Bros. Games is creating, we saw a succinct summary of everything Origins-related to date. From what could be gleaned, free-roaming about Gotham will be a dynamic and actiontacular affair; there’ll be nary a corner of the place without a lurking shoplifter or car thief (or, presumably, one of those sleazy trenchcoat dudes that get their wang out in front of strangers in public parks) to gleefully pummel on.

What we haven’t yet been graced with is any form of gameplay trailer-ing. This... isn’t that either (quite yet), but it’s a tentative step closer. Behold, if you will, a little half-assed campy fisticuffs between Batman and Deathstroke, DC’s resident assassin; and stay tuned to Egotastic! for tomorrow’s more substantial trailer, as the above hints.

The Talking Dead: A Bad Lip Reading of ‘The Walking Dead’ (VIDEO)

"La-Bibbida-Bibba-Dum!"

Lipreading is an invaluable skill that you can use for watching movies and TV shows when the audio sucks or when your bros are being too loud and noisy. Why use your ears when you can just use your eyes?

The downside is you probably won't understand a damn thing if you're bad at it or are just starting out. The upside is that you'll be laughing your ass off for something that no one else will really get, unless of course, they somehow manage to get inside your head.

This clip by Bad Lip Reading is the perfect example of that. What better show to butcher lipread than The Walking Dead, where zombies with gaping mouths run rampant and characters deliver lines about banjos and shark costumes with teeth? Make sure you watch until the end of clip when everyone breaks into song for Walking Dead: The Musical. 

Alice Eve and Lake Bell Topless Highlight This Week’s Mr. Skin Minute (VIDEO)

 

Sure you got your big summer blockbusters coming out now, but how many of those billion dollar box office films are going to show you the slightest hint of bare ta's? Well, the short answer, and I guess the long answer too is, none. A sad state of affairs in popular cinema. But, thanks to our friends at Mr. Skin, we have a lovely little roadmap for alt-cinematic options that bare some quite delightful amounts of celebrity skin.

This week's Mr. Skin Minute features the delicious Alice Eve not topless in Star Trek Into Darkness, but fully flashing in Crossing Over, Lake Bell and Katie Aselton camping nekkid in Black Rock now on Blu-Ray, and another  recap of the best of the bare boobtastic on HBO and Showtime this past weekend. It's a lot of fun with celebrity funbags. Enjoy.

(And, do not forget your very own Mr. Skin membership to dazzle the ladies and inspire jealousy among your compadres.)

George Clooney, Lost in Space? Yes, Please.

Clooney Adrift in Deep Space...What's Not to Like?

How do you market a movie in which George Clooney and Sandra Bullock play astronauts stranded in space and forced to contemplate a cold black death alone in the void?

That's a tough question. But since Warner Brothers hired Alfonso Cuarón (Y Tu Mamá También, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Children of Men) to actually make such a picture, they had to come up with an answer. And the answer they came up with is this: be extremely vague and hope the star power and the mystery create some buzz.

Will that marketing strategy make Gravity a box office success? I have no idea. But I do like the idea of seeing that smug George Clooney marooned in space. And don't go defending that guy, either. You know that, if your girlfriend was young enough and hot enough, he wouldn't think twice about stealing her right out from under you.

Gravity is set for release this October.

The Official Trailer for ‘Pacific Rim’ Does Not Disappoint In The Robot Department (VIDEO))

Watch Video

You seem like the type of guy who enjoys a good robot vs. monster smack down. Well, my friend, you are in luck, because the trailer for Pacific Rim features that exact scenario.

When a portal in the Pacific Ocean starts spewing out giant monsters with Japanese names, humanity's only chance at survival rests with giant robots known as Jaegers. Personally, I'd rather watch a robot named Goldschlager, but I digress.

Will mankind unite to destroy the intradimensional menace, or will monsters rule the day? How the hell should I know? I've only seen the trailer. Your guess is as good as mine.

Sweded ‘Iron Man 3′ Trailer is Freakin’ Awesome (VIDEO)

Sweded Iron Man 3
Sometimes, Low Budget is the Best Budget

Michel Gondry gave rise to a viral trend in Be Kind Rewind called 'sweding', when the character Jerry had to remake a bunch of films with limited budgets after accidentally erasing all of the videos at Mos Def's rental store. The sweded movies were such a hit with movie watchers in the movie itself, and it turns out movie watchers in the real world feel the same.

Some sweded clips are just plain bad while others are surprisingly good, given that the cast and crew are working with limited budgets and homegrown special effects. The Thailand-based Fedfe Boyband crew's version of the Iron Man 3 trailer belongs in the latter category.

Nerd Alert! Code Red! Star Trek Starts Tonight! (VIDEO)

Opens Tonight in Geek-Filled Theaters Everywhere!

Yes, it does. Star Trek Into Darkness is finally here. All your Klingon-Human sexual fantasies are about to be satisfied. Okay, maybe not those so much. But Kirk, Spock. McCoy, the bad guy pretending he's not the future Khan. It's all there. And it looks pretty damn amazing. So, yeah, I will be among the geek boys seeing this movie in the next 24 hours. Resistance is futile.

We had the privilege of snagging some interviews with J.J. Abrams and the cast of Star Trek Into Darkness in London this past week. Not really a privilege since the Brits won't let me onto their shores until I renounce my claim to being Kate Middleton's baby daddy. Still, we snuck somebody else in. Take a look at some very brief snippets from our journalistic endeavor. Then, hire a dog sitter for your embarrassing Chow and head off to see Star Trek.

Don't be the last nerd in the world to fulfill his destiny!
