Star Trek Teaser Trailer

At least that's what they're calling it over at YouTube. This trailer is a little bit longer than a teaser trailer would be, but it has just effectively teased the hell out of me. I've been a marginal Star Trek fan up until now. Seeing this, and what J.J. Abrams has done with the franchise, I'm actually excited about this movie. It still won't be released until 2009, but I already want to see it. There's a ton of talent in it too, many I can't name, but Simon Pegg is playing the "Scotty" character, and they got Harold (John Cho) from "Harold and Kumar" fame to play the "Sulu" character, and freaking Sylar (Zachary Quinto) from "Heroes" gets to play a young "Spock". I'll stop gushing over this movie so you can check out the trailer, but do yourself a favor in 2009 and catch this movie in the theaters.

Hot Fuzz Trailer - Americanized

I love me some Edgar Wright/Simon Pegg/Nick Frost action. Not in a gay way, mind you. Those British blokes are funny as hell. And, their new movie, "Hot Fuzz" is coming out this year. If you saw their previous movie, "Shaun of the Dead", then you know what you're in for. While that movie added a comedic spin to the zombie genre, "Hot Fuzz" promises to do the same to the buddy-cop movie. You can find the latest, American trailer, with an introduction by the director and stars of the movie here. Quicktime is required. It's worth the download of the player. I mean, if you don't . . . then you're just being an MS-D-bag.

Musically Inclined Mondays - Charlotte Hatherly

Behave
Not many people might know about Charlotte Hatherly. I didn't before this morning, which is why this musical discovery is so cool. I was just going through some geek websites, picking up information on "Grindhouse" which is being released this year. I was reading how Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead director) was directing one of the fake trailers that would be running between the two films from Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez. Then, I read something about this particular singer's video being directed by Edgar Wright's brother, Oscar Wright and how it was actually Edgar Wright's girlfriend. Since I'm a big "Shaun of the Dead" fan, I thought I'd check it out just for the hell of it. Turns out the song isn't bad, and the video is pretty cool as well. Check it out, and seek her music out. Below is another video, titled "Bastardo", which is a bit on the pop'y side, but has a cameo by Simon Pegg, also of "Shaun of the Dead" fame.
