Thomas Kinkade was known as the “Painter of Light”. He painted realistic, idyllic subjects, usually cottages in the countryside. Peaceful settings. At least until the empire invaded.
Jeff Bennett has created the “War of Kinkade” series, which has Star Wars invading Kinkade’s works of art. The end result pleases me. We need to see this kind of tranquil setting invaded by the empire in the movies.
This Star Trek TNG Uniform Bedding Set is practical, comfortable, and cool as Picard. Its design is inspired by the bedding they had on Star Trek: The Next Generation. The duvet cover is red (which means you are the captain, of course) and it has a Communicator Badge embroidered onto it. The corner ties and button closure ensure that the cover doesn’t slip off. The bedding comes in Queen, King, or Twin XL sizes and is made using 100% cotton.
Now, this is much better than a simple POP figure. Can you seriously think of a better way to start your day than with a sweet bowl of blue multigrain cereal? Plus, when you eat your way through 7 ounces of it, you get an awesome mini-figure of the coolest superheroes in the DC universe. The vinyl mini-figure stands one and a half inches tall. It’s nice to see some cereal with toys in the box again. FunkO’s Batman and Batgirl Pop! Cereal is making breakfast fun again.
With every new Doctor these days, we get a new sonic screwdriver. It’s kinda a gimmick that I don’t mind when they make it cool looking, but I’m not feeling this odd looking new version. I’ll keep an open mind until I see it on screen though. It is different, that’s for sure. Anyway, this replica measures 7.4″ long and has lights and sounds. Just press the button for authentic sound effects, glowing red and orange lights, or to activate the glowing rotating crystal. Check it out over at Hot Topic.
An official photo from producer James Cameron and director Tim Miller’s new Terminator film has been released. Uh…. Okay. First impressions from this image are:
Sarah Connor is looking very Hillary Clinton like, from back when before Hillary wore moo-moos to events. Not that she ever looked that good.
The one in the center looks like something out of a generic anime. I couldn’t tell if it was a man or a woman at first.
Muh politics! Muh anime! Muh diversity! I hope they aren’t going all female like with Ghostbusters.
Muh God this photo does not make me excited for a new Terminator movie.
Ew! Just ew!
It might be time to put a nail in this series. And EVERY rebooted series. Try something original Hollywood. If you dare.
A press-on nail… Can one of you ladies help me out with that?
Get ready to be blown away by the Russian X-Men Trailer! This is a video that somebody stitched together from various Youtube clips to make a no budget live action trailer for a Russian X-Men show. Better than the X-Men movies! Up your game Hollywood!
Star Trek fans are getting treated to yet another bottle of liquor inspired by the franchise. It is called Ten-Forward Vodka, named after the name of the bar on the USS Enterprise D. In order to live up to the name Star Trek, the company intends to send a batch into space which they will ensure is mixed up with the normal batches so that they can brag about it, mostly. If you have a group of friends who love everything Star Trek, the least you can do is have this vodka ready before the next meet up.

From Star Trek: The Original Series comes… a glowing rock. It made an appearance in the episode titled “The Enemy Within” where Sulu fired a phaser at a rock to keep warm. The rock operates in two modes: Survival mode and Atmosphere mode. On Survival mode, the structure glows red like the stones did in the show when the phaser heats them. In the atmosphere, it can have a variety of colors. It also comes with a replica of the Phaser so you can control the mode. For dramatic effect, whenever the mode is changed by setting off the phaser remote, the phaser makes firing sounds like those heard onscreen. Every true geek needs the Star Trek TOS Phaser-Controlled Rock Mood Light.
Cool earbuds are hard to find. Therefore earbuds that make you look like Captain Spock have got to a rarity indeed. Luckily, Thinkgeek has you covered. These officially licensed Star Trek Wireless Vulcan Earbuds will allow you to take phone calls and listen to music on the go, all while being an unfeeling and unemotional cold-blooded Vulcan. The earbuds can synchronize with most mobile devices easily. They will also stay charged for up to 5 hours if they are fully charged for around 2 hours. They come with extra sets of silicone tips to keep everything sanitary. Listen long and prosper.
The Orville is coming back in December and it looks like we can expect a lot of more action, more aliens and of course, more laughs from Seth Macfarlane and crew. I for one am super excited.
