Stop Motion Intro to 1992's X-Men Cartoon
After the release of the TMNT stop motion tribute, the team at Reckless Abandonment Pictures are back at it again!
With the 20th anniversary approaching of Director Kyle Roberts' favorite cartoon growing up, he wanted to see if his team could re-create the 1992 X-Men cartoon animated intro using action figures and stop motion! With over 4,000 individual pictures taken, Roberts spent two months rotoscoping and animating all of the special effects.Be sure to check out more of Kyle's video's by heading over to his YouTube page here.

Lego to Make Back to the Future Sets in 2013
The Venn diagram of Back to the Future and Lego will finally exist!
News broke today that BTTF will become one of newest linceases that Lego has picked up and will produce new sets in 2013. This is all thanks to a fan created project was submitted to the Lego Cuusoo site back in August of 2011. The project finally passed review thanks to the 10,000 votes required just to have it considered. The final set is still under development with help from Universal, but you can bet we'll see the DeLorean along with Marty and Doc...and possibly the versions from BTTF 2 and BTTF 3.
The best part of the story? The project's creators are going to donate the one percent royalty fee they'll receive from their project being produced to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson Research. How awesome are those guys?!
Will you be picking up the Lego sets next year? Let me know in the comments below.
Stay nerdy my friends...

Doctor Who's New TARDIS
Not only will our beloved Doctor be getting an new companion in the upcoming Christmas special, The Snowmen, but apparently he'll be getting a new TARDIS as well...at least a new control room.
This newly released image from the +Doctor Who Google+ page give us the first really good look at the new TARDIS interior. For any classic Who fan, you'll immediately notice the retro look of the center console. However, the more I look at the pic, I can see elements carried over from the 9th, 10th and 11th Doctor's TARDISES as well...or is it TARDI?
I'm really looking forward to seeing how this new TARDIS fits into the story. I, like most fans, have been without the Doctor for far too long now, so Christmas day, for more than one reason, can't get here quick enough.
What do you think of the new TARDIS? Love it? Hate it? Let me know what you think in the comments below.

Sam Flynn Lives! - Garret Hedlund Confirmed for Next TRON
While little has been revealed about the project, including a plot or a title, the next TRON film is rumored to explore "life and death in the digital realm". Hearing that, might we expect to see the return of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges)?
While it's only speculation on my part right now, I would put money on it based on the short that was included with the Blu-Ray of TRON: Legacy (*cough*FLYNN LIVES*cough*).
What do you think of the news? Are you excited for another trip to the grid? Are you interested in seeing where the story goes? As always, let me know what you think in the comments below.

New Teaser Trailer for Man of Steel
Not wanting to be too movie trailer focused today, but this is a film I'm extremely excited for.
Warner Brothers Pictures has just released the newest teaser trailer to Zack Snyder's upcoming Superman flick, Man of Steel. The trailer was originally supposed to first appear attached to The Hobbit, which hits theaters this Friday, but you won't hear any complaints from me.
The trailer, while not giving a great look at the story, definitely gives a glimpse of the film's scale and emotional back story of Clark's journey to accept his powers...very similar to early seasons of Smallville, which I happened to love.
You can check out the latest teaser embedded after the jump. And be sure to let me know what you think of the look Snyder's going for in the comments below.
Man of Steel will hit theaters everywhere on June 14th, 2013.

Lack of Updates
Hi all. I just wanted to get a quick post up addressing the lack of updates you've undoubtedly noticed over the last month or so.
If you keep up with multiple blogs like me, you know there hasn't been a shortage of stuff going on in the "nerd-o-sphere" that could've and should have been posted on the blog. Unfortunately for you, the readers, I've taken on more and more responsibility at work and just haven't had the time to dedicate myself to researching/writing many of the top stories and general nerdiness that have been popping up lately.
If you've been an active reader so far, I just want to apologize and thank you for your support. In the meantime, I am going to make much more of an effort on making regular posts again, so please bare with me. They may not be at the frequency that they once were, but most definitely won't be the "one post everything three months", that most personal blogs end up being.
Again, thank you for sticking with me and be on the look out for new posts. If you have any suggestions or stories you want to see on the site, feel free to shoot me an email or a tweet...contact info is located on the "contact" section above.
Thanks for your patience and as always, stay nerdy my friends.
