Imagine this. Let’s just say your name happens to be, oh, I don’t know, Fred Savage, and your grandfather happens to be a book obsessed Peter Falk impersonator. Say he walks into your bedroom one day when you’re coughing your ass off, I mean hacking up a fuckin’ lung, and he starts rambling about some six-fingered man and a rhyming giant. I know, you’d think to yourself, great, Grandpa has finally lost it and there’s nothing I can do about it. He’s probably going to murder me in my sleep and mom won’t care because she loves her batshit crazy father. Awesome.

But instead of murdering you, maybe Grandpa Pete just wants to gift upon you a miraculous piece of Princess Bride gadgetry. The Inigo Montoya Nametag iPhone case allows you to feel as though you too need to take revenge against the six-fingered man. Damn him and his extra limb of evil. Damn him to hell. But first, let’s make sure our iPhone doesn’t get scuffed up in the impending battle, shall we, hmmm?

Living in a major city, you see tons of movie and theater posters pasted on every inch of the city’s walls. The high majority of these posters are defaced in some way. Torn or covered in graffiti. It usually pisses me off to see an artists work defaced, but these movie poster mash-ups are just awesome.

I’d so see most of these.

When a friend of mine working for Popular Mechanics invited me to a private screening of the movie Moon, I naturally hopped on the chance. It’s director Duncan Jones’ (David Bowie’s son, natch) first full-length film and it was made on a shoestring budget of $5 million. But enough about that. What did I actually think of the movie? Click on, my friends.

With the upcoming Star Trek movie, this case mod is the perfect idea for those of you who consider yourself true Trekkies. Looks hard to make, no? You’d be wrong, my friend. Just grab a Star Trek federation pin, rip out the Apple logo and glue that fucker right on. You’ll get plenty of cred from your trekkie friends, but girls? Not so much.

If you haven’t seen Watchmen yet there are a few (but not too many) essential sights you have missed before you can say you’ve truly lived. For one, you’ve missed seeing a gigantic CGI-enhanced blue penis. You’ve also failed to witness the unmasking of the antihero Rorschach a.k.a. Walter Kovacs. Reading his blog would be a good start at getting to know this mysteriously masked man, but how well can you really understand a man without looking him in the eyes?

Luckily for all of you who haven’t dropped the $10 to see the movie, Play.com offers a 6″ Rorschach action figure in both the masked and unmasked varieties. For spoiler purposes the face has been blocked out. Don’t they realize that Rorschach can be found unmasked across the net? Hint: He’s a ginger!

We don’t want to know what you use these Dr. Manhattan Gloves for. We really don’t. Whether you’re using them to act out your darkest of sexual fantasies, or simply need a new pair of dish washing gloves, do as you will, but no asky, no telly.

No matter what you use them for, they are just too damn cool to pass up. I mean, really? You’re not going to own a pair of Dr. Manhattan gloves? And you call yourself a Watchmen fan. Not to mention they would serve as an excellent distraction from your woman’s brute man-hands, which remind you more of Rorschach anyway. How the hell did they even get like that? She’s not a construction worker. Though she might be working some “construction sites” on the side.

Just wanted to give you my two cents this morning on what I thought about the Watchmen movie. I read the book about six months ago and while I loved the graphic novel, the movie adaption is pure rubbish. So bad, in fact, that I turned the pirated version of the movie off walked out after 40 minutes in. It was slow. It was dull. My three friends and I all agreed that we would rather be doing anything else in a Saturday night but watching the Watchmen.

So yes, that’s the cold hard truth. Those reviews about it being lackluster? Spot on.

Can’t wait for the Watchmen to come out in theaters? Me either. Support Warner Bros. and FOX’s war chest by purchasing these sweet Watchmen-inspired magnets. You’ll find the Comedian, Nite Owl, Rorschach, Silk Spectre, Dr. Manhattan and Ozymandias. All for $5 per set? Not too shabby. Who watches the Watchmen? Easy: Your fridge.

It seems like only yesterday I was paying $20 dollars for every hot movie that hit store shelves in VHS format. Today, I can go into a store and buy three tapes for just a dollar. Whoever said that a dollar can’t buy you anything was full of shit. Ever since the creation of DVD, VHS has been on a steady decline. Now with the last major VHS supplier calling it quits, the final nail in the coffin of VHS has arrived.

“It’s dead, this is it, this is the last Christmas, without a doubt,” Distribution Video Audio co-owner Ryan Kugler told the L.A. Times. “I was the last one buying VHS and the last one selling it, and I’m done. Anything left in the warehouse we’ll just give away or throw away.”

Distribution Video Audio is now in the business of selling discount DVD displays for big-box retailers and its co-owner warns that in three or four years DVD will face the same fate as VHS. Looking to buy a movie for someone? Consider Blu-ray.

Additionally, The Dark Knight will feature BD-Live community to allow fans to schedule screenings with friends and chat with other viewers as the movie plays. Look for the Blu-ray version on store shelves December 9th.
