Well, I wasn’t expecting this. yet alone NickToon’s to pick this up. Just this morning, it was announced that Nickelodeon spinoff channel, NickToons (which airs nothing but old and some new cartoons such as the new Iron Man cartoon), will start airing the filler-less Dragon Ball Z Kai starting in May. As said, Dragon Ball Z Kai is a remastered, re-cut version of Dragon Ball Z but with none of the fillers or extra stuff that wasn’t in the manga. The airing should coincide when th DVD and Blu-Ray is released. Of all channels, NickToons ends up picking this us and not Cartoon Network/Adult Swim. I know Toonami has died years ago but I was kind of hoping for them to pick up the series that helped get them ratings in the past, then again, they don’t even have Naruto: Shippuden, Disney XD does. Oh wells, anime on TV has been a bit rare lately seeing how most people that watches anime will watch it online anyways, either way, I’m glad to see DBZ Kai airing some where.

While writing this, it was just updated that they will also air a new Voltron, titled Voltron Panthera Force. No info on the show yet we should expect to see something soon. Hmmn, so we get a less screaming version of Dragon Ball Z Kai and a new Voltron…either way, one of these shows may ruin someones childhood.

From the beginning of time there has been one thing that has baffled and fascinated men. Fascinated them to the brink of madness, to full scale war and sometimes even horrific crimes. These things are not uncommon, and are not too often overlooked. In fact they are constantly ogled, studied and discussed. What could these possibly be? Boobs. Not just normal boobs though, celebtitties. In many years of being a film buff I have compiled a list of favorites from full on exposure to a snippet of a first time starlett that wasn’t yet famous. The best are the celebs who made their nude debut after years of coy shyness, just to have a ,no pun intended, unveiling. If you have your favorite breasts to discuss, comment away. All these females are amazing specimans to say the least in the male objectification of women…  (more…)

In case you need evidence that people were on drugs in the 80s, you’re in luck this May, because that’s when Warner Home Video will release its Saturday Morning Cartoons: 1980s Volume 1 DVD.

Like all drug dealers, they offer you some good stuff–a chance to own episodes of the beloved “Thundarr the Barbarian“–before sticking you with the shit that’s cut with baby powder. You’ll get to enjoy (maybe that’s too strong a word) “The Biskitts,” “The Flintstone Kids,” and “Monchichis.” To be fair, though, you also get to watch the Mr. T cartoon, imaginatively called “Mr. T,” in which in addition to pitying fools and suckas, he also coaches a coed gymnastic team and drives a van. Because that’s not creepy or anything.

If that’s not enough ass-kickery, there’s also “Chuck Norris: Karate Kommandos.” Hells yes.

Other shows represented include “The Completely Mental Adventures of Ed Grimley,” “Galtar and the Golden Lance” (no, that’s not a porn title), “Dragon’s Lair,” “The Kwicky Koala Show,” and “Goldie Gold and Action Jack.”

That last one isn’t a porn title, either.

Now keep in mind this is only the first volume. We can only hope the second volume will include more classics like “Pac-Man,” “Rubik the Amazing Cube,” and “Turbo Teen.”

I never noticed how so many cartoons sound like porn.

The set hits shelves on May 4 and lists for $26.98. BYOB.

Admit it. When that harpoon speared Wash in the latter third of Joss Whedon’s Serenity, you felt like your own heart was being staked, didn’t you? Thanks to an upcoming one-shot from comic and actor Patton Oswalt, you’ll soon get a chance to honor Wash’s memory and learn more about him. (more…)

Felicia Day, everyone’s favorite nerdgirl who apparently can do no wrong, has been cast as the lead in an upcoming original movie for the SyFy channel. Cue geekgasms everywhere.

Day, who stars in the web series “The Guild” and has been featured in “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog” and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” will star in SyFy’s reimagining of the classic Little Red Riding Hood story. Titled “Red,” the TV movie is scheduled for a 2011 television release. I’m really, really trying not to make dumb puns about Day’s hair, her character and the movie’s title. It’s hard.

Here’s some info from the official release:

In the action-packed Red, Red (Day) brings her fiancé home, where he meets the family and learns about their business – hunting werewolves. He’s skeptical until bitten by a werewolf. When her family insists he must be killed, Red tries saving him. Red also stars Kavan Smith (Stargate Atlantis) and Stephen McHattie (Watchmen).

When I read the release, I had to scrutinize it to make sure that God-Of-All-That-Is-Fantastic Joss Whedon wasn’t attached. The plot point about two very different people-things in love having to make a choice to kill or die sounds a wee bit like the end of “Buffy” season 2, no? Do you selfishly keep your love, or do you murder him for the good of the world?

SyFy has retold a number of classic stories and fairy tales in recent years, and they’ve been pretty good, so I’m sold on “Red.” However, SyFy also produces a number of awesomely awful B-movies such as “Pterodactyl” and “Minotaur.” How do you think “Red” will turn out?

Are you ready? I said are you ready? Yea, sorry for starting off with a DX reference but tonight is the night for wrestling fans as TNA makes it official move to Mondays. Since of 2001, this will be the first time WWE will have competition with another wrestling company on Monday nights and thus the new Monday Night War starts. One may ask why this is important, and truth be told, it’s always good to have competition and that may be the little push WWE needs to make wrestling a bit better as many fans can easily say it has been stale for years now. Let’s see what we have up for both shows tonight after the jump. (more…)

Zach Galifianakis, the woolly weirdo beirdo comedian hosted Saturday Night Live this weekend. Needless to say, his style of humor was an odd match,but the actor, hot off his “Hangover” Success made what could’ve been a catastrophe, a symphony of comedy.

All of his sketches were great, including his, again, very unorthodox monologue, which you can watch at NBC.com

This was a Digital Short/Video which was a very rare sequence. It was Zach stopping by nearly EVERY NBC show and standing in the background… It was a laugh out loud funny and totally random.

“Lost” has been a phenomenon since its first airing in 2004. But what happens when you combine it with the longest-running American sitcom, “The Simpsons?” Some guy in Canada shows us with yummy sketch-and-Photoshop goodness.

Dean (who apparently, like Cher, shuns a last name), owner of the Springfield Punx blog, had created  a number of Simpsonized “Lost” characters since May of last year. Beginning with Hurley, Dean created a new image each day for about a week. Then he did it again in the fall.

Why is all of this timely now? Because another guy named Adam Reynolds (who doesn’t have a blog, from what I can tell) put together a computer wallpaper that includes all of Dean’s Simpsonized “Lost” characters. Below, check out a few of Dean’s individual characters as well as Adam’s wallpaper composite.

It’s a sad day for Star Trek fans and nerds alike. We are sorry to report that actor Andrew Koenig the son of Star Treks Walter Koenig has commited suicide. The actor whose work includes Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, voicework on GI Joe and Batman fan film Dead End was supposed to be on a flight back to the United States from Vancouver, Canada, on Feb. 16th but didn’t make it back. Walter Koenig appeared at a press conference Thursday evening to confirm that a body found earlier in the day in Vancouver’s Stanley Park was that of his missing son, Andrew Koenig, the Los Angeles Times reported. “My son took his own life,” Walter Koenig said, wife Judy at his side. The Koenigs pleaded with others who may have depressed family members to recognize the signs. Walter was qouted saying:

“If you can learn anything from this, it’s that there are people out there who really care, and you may not think so, and ultimately it may not be enough, but … before you make that final decision, check it out again, talk to somebody.”

This is just terrile news. No parent should have to bury their child. We will grieve for the Koening family, pray for them and hope they can find peace as time passes.
