Movie franchises have become pretty ridiculous. I mean, there are like five Bring It On movies. How many damn American Pie movies have their been?
Worth1000 takes on the future of film franchises with their “Future Films” Photoshop contest. Check out a few of our favorites after the jump.
It’s just like in the movies! So simple, yet so effective.
Have you recently been exploded or killed by a Decepticon? You, too, might be in need of CPR. Exactly zero chest compressions required.
The answer is simple. Really, really hot.
I like a little sex appeal mixed in with my feline superheros and Megan Fox, who starred in both Transformers movies, is the sexiest damn woman in Hollywood at the moment. This mock-up wallpaper fulfills our fantasies by placing the foxy Fox in the iconic Catwoman mask. The rumor of her taking the role might be totally false, but a man can dream.
What do you do when you’re attacked by a Chihuahua / Piranha hybrid monster? We might finally know the answer with the upcoming 2010 monster film Chihuanhas. It’s sort of like Jaws meets Taco Bell.
And what could the tagline for this movie possibly be? “They’re not just ankle biters anymore…” Of course, of course. Hit the jump for some humorous concept art.
I haven’t seen the new Pixar flick Up yet, but from what I hear, it’s pretty funny. I mean to be honest, you’ve got to be an absolute cynic to hate on Pixar movies. That being said, check out Angus MacLane’s recreation of the main character from the movie. It looks just like him! If it was 1988 and an NES game came out based on the movie, I’d imagine this is how the sprites would look. If you’d like to find out more, Brothers Brick has an interview with Angus that’s a great read.
I don’t know what kind of crack Microsoft is smoking but it must be hooked on it. Today, the Redmond-based company confirmed that it is indeed working on the Zune HD to compete with not the iPhone, but rather the iPod Touch. It’ll have an OLED touchscreen, HD radio tuner (big whoop) and will use a new Zune Marketplace for purchasing videos and music. The hilarious part, however, lies in the fact that the Zune HD will be powered by Windows CE and Internet Explorer. Yes, Windows CE. You can officially call Microsoft a non-hip dinosaur now.
Has the new Star Trek movie got you all excited as of late? Support the economy by dropping a whopping $2200 on this replica Captain Kirk chair, complete with buttons on the armrest. True to the original, this captain’s throne is meant for only the true Trekkie who can really appreciate the finer details in life. Just don’t expect to be sexing it up in this thing anytime soon.
For a small fee each month, you can get Netflix to not only send DVDs to your house, but you can also stream thousands of movies via its online movie service. The Xbox 360 currently supports this feature, which no doubt pisses off most Playstation 3 owners like myself. But now, there’s a glimmer of hope.
According to the Netflix job listings, there’s a position for “Engineering Leader – Gaming Platforms.” Yeah, I know. Take it with a grain of salt, but some websites believe that this is a sign that Netflix will bring streaming video to PS3 and the Wii. The PS3 already supports Flash, though. Has anyone tried Netflix’s movie service via the web browser on the PS3?
Pumped for the upcoming Watchmen flick that’s directed by Zack Snyder? You betcha. Despite the torrent of legal issues surrounding the film, FOX and Warner Bros., News Corp felt compelled to leak a behind-the-scenes video to MySpace the other day and the result is a video tour de force. Never before has a superhero/supervillian movie based on a comic looked so good before! The power of Dr. Manhattan! Can you even handle this kind of cinema? Let’s hope so.
Step aside Microsoft, there’s a new Netflix streamer in town. Today, Netflix announced that it has added TiVo to its growing list of streaming partners. Being that TiVo’s subscriber base hasn’t grown much since 2005, we’re thinking TiVo needs this partnership more than Netflix; considering Netflix has already partnered with LG, Microsoft and Samsung.
Netflix will be available to TiVo Series3, TiVo HD and TiVo HD XL owners. The two companies will begin testing the new service today in “several thousand” U.S. households, and it’s expected to be widely available in early December. Whether or not this will keep TiVo in the business of DVR remains to be seen. For TiVo’s sake, this partnership should keep them in the running for a few more years.
