If you had the opportunity to take something from the TARDIS, what would you choose?

Karen Gillan, who plays the companion Amy Pond in the longest running British sci-fi TV series, Doctor Who, tells us what she took after having filmed her last episode recently.  The Ponds (because that’s totally the way it works) will be leaving the show in the 5th episode of the upcoming 7th series, and Gillan just had to come out of it with a little gift from the TARDIS.

She spoke with the Daily Record at the Cannes Film Festival, talking about her last day on set:

It was a weird, serene day where everyone was feeling it. We don’t film in chronological order so the last shot we filmed was me, Matt and Arthur going into the TARDIS. Then Matt closed the door for the last time and we were in darkness. We hugged and started crying. It was kind of tears of happiness. It was a feeling of ‘Look at what we’ve done’. It was lovely.

Apparently she isn’t allowed to keep any bits and pieces from her costume because that stuff ends up going into exhibitions and stuff, but she did make it away with something.

I didn’t get to keep any Pond stuff because everything related to Doctor Who goes into exhibitions. [...] But I might have taken a little special something from the TARDIS. A pair of binoculars. They look really weird in my house, just sitting there.

Me? I’d use it to go back a few years and steal David Tennant and… Oh, you know.

It looks like Joss Whedon was unable to let go of the world of Alien: Resurrection, for which he wrote the screenplay; a little surprise left in the first episode of Firefly implies that he placed his cowboys and aliens in the same universe.

When Mal’s ass is getting kicked at the Battle of Serenity Valley and he hops into an anti-aircraft cannon to blast down an Alliance fighter. The heads-up logo that comes up when he powers it on includes an interesting logo in the center.

Check this out:

See the resemblance? Including the Weyland-Yutani Corporation logo says something interesting about the worlds that we once thought were separate.

Looks like Mal and his crew could easily have had some close encounters with Ripley.

We finally have a release date for the next PS3 platform game based on our favorite British sci-fi TV series, Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock.

The time is set for a May 23 release, which is coming up really damn soon!  This is awesome, given that we’ve been teased with trailers and shit for quite some time now so the immediate gratification would be nice.

There will also be a Playstation Vita version that will be released on June 13.  But who cares about that.  We don’t yet know when the PC version will be available, but that’ll happen at some point too.

Will any of you guys get on board with this when it comes out?

“Anything you can imagine, you can make real.”

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why Marc Webb is a fuckin’ badass.  In this 2 minute video where he takes us behind the scenes of The Amazing Spider-Man, we really get a sense of his personal directing style and I personally quite enjoy the fact that he is such a kinesthetic kind of artist.  He talks a lot about getting things to flow in a way that feels right and basically being true to his artistic integrity.  This rawness is why his work is so awesome to watch, and I’m sure that Spider-Man will be the same way.  Whether or not we’ll be happy with the story or the details or the acting, I’m sure that we’ll have a beautiful movie because there’s no other way with Marc Webb.

Yes, I’m a fan.  What gave me away?

This is rather strange… This is the moment where Star Trek‘s Data suddenly becomes Spock and the world gets turned upside down.

Brent Spiner, the actor who plays Data in Star Trek, dressed up as Spock for some wacky children’s birthday party and it is completely awesome.  Not just somewhat awesome – it’s completely awesome.

This happened as part of Fresh Hell, a semi-autobiographical web series Spiner is doing… Playing Spock was meant to get him close to a casting director.  Well, it certainly got him close to something.

Check it out; it’s quite the mind fuck.

Disney XD has posted the full first episode of its new animated series, Tron: Uprising.  It begins by summarizing the events of original movie, and then proceeds to get into its own story with its own characters and stuff.

Our new protagonist is named Beck, and he’s voiced by Elijah Wood.  Because that’s a great idea.  (I have to point out the sarcasm for those of you who don’t speak it.)

The first episode is titled Beck’s Beginning, and y’all can check it out below:

In a world that is ever becoming more customizable, Disney will be bringing a Droid Factory to Disney World for y’all to play with.

Star Wars fans will be able to assemble their own droids at the Tattoine Traders store, where they can choose between tons of different combinations to make a droid of their own that will be packaged like the real deal.

From the official blog:

[T]he Droid Factory has 71 different pieces to create the 3 ¾-inch figures! To get started, guests chose a dome, a body and legs offered in a variety of colors and styles (Cody said that availability of various parts and colors may change). There are optional third legs and novelty hats that can be added.

“We wanted lots of options for [the Droid Factory],” continued Cody. “There are literally thousands of combinations making each droid unique. Guests can also name their droids with sticker sheets provided at checkout.”

Three domes – R6, R8 and R9 – were created exclusively for this experience at Disney Parks. Cody also told me the multi-colored ear hats were inspired by Jedi Mickey’s Astromech droid, R2-MK. Four additional hats arrive later this summer including a Goofy hat, a pirate hat, a fedora and a Yoda cap.

I’m sure all the kids would love this. I might just have to stop by if I ever end up going out there. It’ll be launching during their Star Wars weekends that start on May 18 and run to June 10.

Chances are you really aren’t interested in watching America’s Got Talent when it premieres on May 14. But you probably WILL be interested in letting that shit play on in the background until they air a 4 minute super preview of The Amazing Spider-Man, starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone.  It’ll be on at 8pm/7pm Central on NBC this coming Tuesday.

We’ve got a 30 second preview of the super preview below.  But before we get to that… we also have snippets of an awesome interview that Tobey Maguire did with Andrew Garfield, officially passing along the Spider-Man baton.  Can’t wait for July 3, guys!  (Especially since I’ll have had laser eye surgery a couple of weeks before that.  I just found out today and I’m super excited so excuse the gushing.)

Check out the preview, and then hit the jump for some interview tidbits!

It was reported a while ago that James Cameron intends to pick up the film adaptation for Battle Angel Alita once he’s finished with the Avatar trilogy. He was quoted by New York Times to have said that he’s “in the Avatar business.  Period”, and has no intention of taking any other projects while he’s working on the trilogy, and that comment has that led to some skepticism about the fate of the back seat project.

Harry Knowles of Ain’t It Cool News was able to get in touch with Cameron (or his people, who knows) to clear the air and ease some fans’ minds who had their panties in a twist wondering what will happen to Battle Angel and who would take on the project if Cameron decided to let it go.

This was his succinct, but informative, response:

No. I still love that project. But Battle Angel is not going to happen for a few years.

Who knows if Avatar will end up spanning across 42 films and we’ll be absolutely sick of it after the first handful and so “a few years” really means “a few decades”, or if he’ll actually get right on to Battle Angel after three more visits to Pandora.

This answer will hopefully straighten out some panties out there for the time being.

Those fucked up nerds struck again.

Seth Green along with his wife Clare Grant and her friend Rileah Vanderbilt had a threesome made a sequel to their first hawt Star Wars video of the chicks having a cat fight.  With light sabers.  This new flick also features light sabers and a lot of Dark Side/Light Side rivalry in the best way possible.

Curious?

Check it out below. It starts off like a your average porn flick with some hot chicks in a bath tub with some wet shirts, phallic objects and nice tits… And escalates to some epic ‘gasms for nerdfolk all around.

… And don’t forget to laugh at the nerds in the comments who were expecting some Chewie pr0nz.
