Astro Boy is an upcoming film from Imagi animation.  It’s kind of like that Korean ad where RoboCop eats fried chicken. Only this time they turned Bob’s Big Boy into Iron Man.  Bottom line, Asians are big on their cyborg-American food combos.  Anyway, the movie still looks pretty lame, and the tagline “Meet the boy built for adventure” still isn’t doing anyone any favors.

This is the new trailer for 9 (that’s right, 9, not Nine. The filmmakers think you and your Chicago Manual of Style can suck it.).

9 is an upcoming sci-fi CGI animated movie created and directed by Shane Acker. It is co-produced by Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov and animated by Attitude Studio (in Luxembourg) and by Starz Animation (in Toronto), with a few sequences done by Duncan Studios in LA. Voice cast: Elijah Wood, Christopher Plummer, Martin Landau, John C. Reilly, Jennifer Connelly and Crispin Glover. 9 will be released 9.9.9. [Source]

So basically it’s Wall E if it were produced by Tim Burton and the Wanted guy.  Instead of a robot, the post apocalyptic world is inhabited by mutant things, who discover another race of evil, more warlike mutant things.  With whom they must inevitably do battle.

A 3-D ad for Monsters vs. Aliens (latest trailer here) will air during the Super Bowl February 1st and again later in the month during a special 3-D broadcast of Chuck. In other news, recording commercials and Chuck is a great way to confuse the f-ck out of your Tivo.

The glasses [which you'll need to fully experience the commercial, of course], which use the new Intel InTru 3D [the newfangled type of 3-D] and ColorCode 3-D, will be distributed free at Pepsi/ SoBe Life Water displays at 28,000 locations including grocery, drug and electronics stores and big-box retailers [like your mom].

It seems like Pepsi completely fell off the pop culture map for a while there, but now they’re back with a new logo, which just so happens to look a lot like the Barack Obama logo.  Check out our new flavor, Yes We Cran! A little game I like to play is to go to restaurants that only serve Pepsi and order a Diet Coke, and then when they say “Is Diet Pepsi okay?” I just shriek at the top of my lungs and sprint out the door.

I’m not sure what the best part of the new trailer (video below) for Suckheimer’s G-Force is.  Is it Nic Cage voicing the star-nosed mole, but doing a funny voice that’s hardly recognizable as Nic Cage the whole time?  Is it Penelope Cruz as the sexy martial arts guinea pig, slinking around to the tune of “Don’t You Wish Your Girlfriend was Hot Like Me”?  I’m interested to see where that plot line goes.  Like, will she be breaking into the enemy compound acting all sexy, and the henchmen will be all distracted because they’re too busy thinking Holy crap, look at that sexy f-cking guinea pig.  I know it’s my job to shoot guinea pigs on sight, but I have to have me some of that hot rodent pussy. And then when the guy pops a huge boner, she karate chops him unconscious?  Because I think they already made that movie.  In Japan.  *gong sound*

The new Monsters vs. Aliens (Dreamworks, first animated movie shot entirely in 3-D, etc.) trailer opens on “Ginormica”, played by Reese Witherspoon, who seems to spontaneously quadruple in size on her wedding day. So wait, this makes her abnormal how? HEYO!

Also: anyone else chub a little when she burst the seams on her dress and her garter shot off? …Just me then?
