zombban Zombieland Deleted Scene Reveals A New Rule!Zombieland hits Blu-Ray and DVD next week on February 2nd and just in case you need another reason to be in line, there’s this. The DVD contains deleted, never before seen moments from the film, along with featurettes, storyboards, and commentary explaining how they made it. But it’s the deleted scenes you won’t want to miss.

Below we have one of those deleted scenes, in which Columbus introduces a new rule. It’s Rule #2: Ziploc Bags.


But wait, there’s more! Here's a second deleted scene in which Tallahassee attempts sabotage. The joke is on them: more...

JJ Abrams' reboot of Star Trek debuts on DVD in just a week, and with it available to own in your home comes a bunch of mostly ridiculous tie-ins. This one is perhaps the most ridiculous, but goddammit I'm probably gonna buy them. It's ridiculously geeky cool.

Airwalk will be selling special edition Star Trek sneakers. Alright they look a lot like normal Airwalks except they're in sweet Star Trek colors. Most importantly they have the Federation logo on the tongue, which should come in handy if you're ever beamed off a Klingon warship by a Starfleet patrol vessel and need to prove that you're actually a Federation agent in disguise.

diora Meet Star Treks Other Orion Slave Girl, Diora BairdYou may not know who Diora Baird now, but you might have if her scene as a green-skinned Orion slave girl hadn't been cut out of JJ Abrams' Star Trek. She's not the one who Kirk bangs in Uhura's quarters, she's a different, spunky chick who Kirk encounters in the hallway and confuses for his most recent conquest because, well I guess Kirk's a racist and all green skinned people look alike to him.

Diora's scene may not have made it into the movie but now it's online and, it's definitely worth your time. She's spunky and cute and Kirk's insincerity is exactly what you'd expect. Take a look after the jump: more...

moon Moon Bloodgoods Terminator Topless Scene RevealedBefore the release of Terminator Salvation director McG spent a lot of time spouting ridiculous nonsense to promote his film. Some of it we bought into, some of it we didn't. In the bought it category falls his claim that Warner Bros. was forcing him to delete this incredible topless scene with the film's female lead Moon Bloodgood. Well now that deleted scene is available on the internet and... yeah... it's pretty awful.

The scene happens in the rain while Bloodgood is creepily watched by a pervs. You can't really see much and what you can see is, surprisingly, not that impressive. Sorry Moon, I just expected better. That must be a hellacious push-up bra you have on. The thing to remember here though is that, as usual, McG was exaggerating to make himself look edgier and more fan friendly than he actually is. Cutting this scene was a good decision. Watch it after the jump and see if you agree. more...

nero1 Nero Battles Klingons In This Star Trek Deleted Scene!I loved JJ Abrams' reboot of Star Trek as much as anyone. But if you're like me, when you walked out of the theater this summer you couldn't help but think something was missing. No, it wasn't William Shatner. Klingons! I need Klingons like I need Scotch, and trust me, I needs me some Scotch.

Oddly enough, it seems Abrams actually intended to include Klingons in the film. In the following deleted scene (which will be included on the impending DVD), they appear with Star Trek villain Nero. Nero, rather quickly, kicks their ass. Check it out after the jump: more...

rom Shoot Romulans With Your Star Trek DVD Box... Really!The future is now! Paramount is planning something straight out of the 22nd century for the DVD release of the Star Trek movie. I’m not even sure how this is possible but, apparently you’ll be able to shoot Romulans using your DVD box. No, that is not a joke. Here’s the details from Variety:

With the packaging feature dubbed "augmented reality," consumers will be able to hold their disc packaging in front of any standard webcam to unlock an interactive hologram on the computer screen, through which they can tour five cabins on the Enterprise, even shooting enemies from the ship's deck.
Users will have to log in to a website to access the feature, but they control the hologram by holding the disc packaging.

"If you took the visual cue in the package and turned your hand, then you're turning the ship," Paramount homevideo senior VP of brand marketing Bob Buchi said. The technology has been used before for magazine covers and other types of product packaging, though this is a first for a major home entertainment release.

An early, primitive version of this feature can be accessed at Experience-the-Enterprise.com, and that should give you a pretty good idea of how it'll work.

BSG is long gone from television, but the old girl's got one last gasp in her. This fall the SyFy Channel will release a new Battlestar movie called "The Plan". It takes what you've already seen on the show and then flips it on its head, telling the BSG story from the perspective of those dastardly Cylons. Hopefully this means more Dean Stockwell. You can't really have too much Brother Cavill.

The first ever trailer for "The Plan" is out, and ready for you to watch. Must see material, below:

bluraytrek Star Trek: The Original Series Comes To Blu RayWhen Star Trek, the original series, was released on HD-DVD it was a pretty big deal. Now not so much. Owning Trek on HD-DVD is about as useful as having it on laserdisc. Dead format. On April 28th, you'll have a chance to rectify your puchasing error when the whole thing gets ported over to Blu-Ray.

Details from the press release:

As part of the special features, select episodes include the “Starfleet Access” bonus content. By choosing the “Starfleet Access” option, viewers will be able to watch the selected episodes with special pop-up trivia and picture-in-picture video commentaries. The set also includes an interactive tour of the starship Enterprise, rare on-set home movie footage, an inside perspective on what it took to transport Trek into the 21st century and much more. A definitive STAR TREK® collection with more than 24 hours of entertainment, the set will be available for the suggested retail price of $118.00 US and $136.00 CAN. An exclusive collectible Sulu figure from Diamond Select Toys is also being made available with purchase of the Blu-ray set; fans pay only shipping and handling charges. more...
