The Judi Dench Collection DVD Cover Art

Dame Judi! Who could possibly not like Dame Judi Dench? People gripe that she won an Oscar for something like nine minutes of screentime in Shakespeare in Love, but dammit, those were some amazing minutes. Speaking of, though, here's a lot more than nine minutes. In fact, there's nine BBC productions, three radio plays, plus bits from interviews. For the Dench fanatic, you simply can't go wrong.

Well, you can go wrong, he said, always master of the terrible segue, by not entering. Why pay for this $100 set when we have three copies here? Well, obviously BBC Home Video and Warner Brothers want you to if you don't win. So we'll tell them you did, regardless...cool? Didn't think you'd mind. One entry a day! Don't miss a day! It's like a good habit you can take up for once!

Iron Design Work
Posted on 05.12.08 by Widge @ 11:18 pm

Iron Man by Adi Granov

Iron Man, which made us all believe that a millionaire genius playboy could come back from near death, grow a conscience and build a badass suit of armor, is the #1 film in the country for the second weekend running. Robert Downey Jr. manages to do what all of the Marvel Comics creative staff couldn't manage: remind us that Tony Stark is supposed to be a likeable asshole, as opposed to just an asshole.

Hear that, Marvel? $342 million worldwide take means the likeable asshole wins.

Anyway, part of what makes the film kick so much ass is how cool the gear is. Adi Granov, who worked with Uncle Warren with his run on the character, has posted some of his concept work for the film. Phil Saunders has done the same with his stuff.

Found via Comics2Film. For more Adi Granov, knock yourself out. For more Phil Saunders, here ya go.

Speed Racer The Next Generation: The Beginning DVD Cover Art

Did the involvement of The Brothers Wachowski sink what could have been another franchise for Warner Brothers? Or was it the fact that there were too many colors for most people, used to things being darkened down for the film adaptations? We may never know. What we do know, however, is that we've got the The Next Generation animated movie, out from Lionsgate. Three copies are here, and you can win them all.

Brian Blessed Crushes "Have I Got News For You" in a Single Fist
Posted on 05.12.08 by Widge @ 5:23 pm

Okay, friends. I know we post a lot of vids on this site. Because a lot of things are funny. But this...this will change your life. Yes, yes, I know it's an entire episode and runs over a half-hour. Just watch it before it gets taken down. Please. I've even slapped them all into a single playlist so you can watch it more conveniently. NSFW for some language and the fact that Brian Blessed is Extremely Fucking Loud.

Direct link for the feedreaders.
