A tale of suspense, danger, happiness and rainbows! (note: this is not a real trailer…just incase you were stupid enough to think so.)

Anyone that consumed media in the 80’s – 90’s knew who Ralph Macchio was. Though a name drop like that may not go that far these days. Ralph Macchio is the original star of the Karate Kid films. The series was wildly successful and warmed the hearts of everyone who watched. Then the movies were done and he kinda just fell off the face of the earth. Now, with this new Karate Kid reboot (the one starring Jackie Chan and Will Smith’s kid) being released TODAY it looks as if Mr. Macchio is surfacing again and doing is with some gusto! Throwing away that nice guy persona, strapping a bottle in his hand and shoving a dollar bill up his nose.

So what else did Ralph do? Well, he went on to do some other greats like My Cousin Vinny, Crossroads, Outsiders, and more recently he appeared in multiple episodes of the Ugly Betty television series.

Enjoy the video! Rock and Roll!

Gallery 1988, home of many pieces of pop-culture-inspired art, has for sale a buttload of awesome pieces inspired by The Twilight Zone.

Some are already sold, but you can still get your hands on something cool like the painting above by Dan Goodsell of Mr. Toast fame that inserts Mr. Shaky Bacon in the classic episode, “To Serve Man.”

The artwork reflects many other popular episodes of the horror anthology, and some feature host and creator Rod Serling. It seems like “Eye of the Beholder” and “Terror at 20,000 Feet” are two others that inspired a lot of these pieces.

The art is not cheap, but you are paying for high-quality artwork here, and besides, how sweet would one of these look hanging in your home?

The new trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows premiered during the MTV Awards. The most beloved and anticipated film next to the Twilight franchise and the upcoming Hobbit.

It will be released in 2 installments, much to the chagrin of this Potter hating writer. But for you lovers, the trailer is pretty damn good as far as HP movies go. The films appears to be a lot more exciting than what happens in the final book. Very little happens. Yes, there is the whole the climatic end but prior to that it’s nothing but 500+ pages of our trio of heroes camping on the run and being bitchy to each other.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I hits theaters on November 19th, 2010 (via Slashfilm)

May 31st 1980, I had 5 months of gestation left in the womb and one of the greatest sequels of ALL time time hit theaters.

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, was the movie that turned the one trick pony Star Wars into Star Wars Episode 4- A New Hope, a movie that had absolutely no intention of being sequelized, into the beginning of the beautiful Holy Trinity. (more…)

Every office has at least one Star Wars freak. Chances are if your reading this then that’s you. You love Star Wars and you want your cubicle cohorts to know it. You are the self proclaimed Jedi Master and you must dedicate a corner of your desk for your collection of Star Wars novels. Reserve a section beside your keyboard for own lightsabre. Then finely place your action figures and vehicles throughout. Your colleagues must know “the force” is strong with you.  However, don’t be a jerk about it. Nobody has an issue with you expressing yourself. Just, never let your display get out of hand and invade another persons work station. If you start digging a Rancor pit well, my friend you might end up with a bent Wookie.

As you know Facebook is a behemoth in social networking websites, bigger than any other. The same group that voted to have her host SNL is now at it again, this time going for gold.. They have now set their eyes on The Academy Awards. (more…)

Stephen Baldwin.  Yes, somehow Joss Whedon and Stephen Baldwin are in the same news story.  Don’t ask me why, I didn’t come up with this shit.  Anywho, hilarious video has been made and so we here at NB must share it with our readers.  Stephen Baldwin has put up a website asking people to donate money to his cause.  His cause being himself.  Says he’s a man of god who needs to be restored, like Job was.  Except for Baldwin to be restored, we need to donate money.  ….Riiiiiight.

So the user Thebighonkin on youtube, decided to make a response video which basically says fuck Stephen Baldwin, we should be restoring Joss Whedon.  (Not like he needs it.  I’m pretty sure he’s well off at this point.)  Joss Whedon is much more awesome than Baldwin and therefore deserves our donations more.  Check out the video after the jump.  Funny shit.

Okay, suppose you had the opportunity to have your picture taken with the original Mr. Spock, Leonard Nimoy. How would the two of you pose? This enterprising lad managed to concoct what may be the best picture ever taken.

Oh, the picture of Earth from the Moon, blah blah blah. This is Mr. Spock throwing The Shocker. This is why cameras were invented, people!

The only way to top that would be to get a picture of William Shatner demonstrating a donkey punch. And asking for that will get your ass kicked out of a Star Trek convention.
