Entertainment Weekly has a nice chart to follow for those wondering which movies to see this summer. Me, I am using it as a big ol’ check list! (click through the image for the large version)

Got a press release from STARZ for their new Torchwood series coming later this year. As a huge fan of the original I just had to share.

Press Release from STARZ:

Below is a brand-new teaser for highly anticipated STARZ series, “Torchwood: Miracle Day” premiering on Friday, July 8 at 10pm ET/PT:

The series, featuring Bill Pullman and Mekhi Phifer as well as John Barrowman and Eve Myles (stars of the original BBC cult favorite), begins with a day when nobody dies. All across the world, nobody dies. And then the next day, and the next, and the next, people keep aging, they get hurt and sick, but they never die. The result: a population boom, overnight. With all the extra people, resources are finite. It’s said that in four month’s time, the human race will cease to be viable. But this can’t be a natural event – someone’s got to be behind it. It’s a race against time as C.I.A. agent Rex Matheson (Phifer) investigates a global conspiracy. The answers lie within an old, secret British institute. As Rex keeps asking “What is Torchwood?,” he’s drawn into a world of adventure, and a threat to change what it means to be human, forever.

Look out Kate and William, it’s a trap!

I just really can’t figure this one out. British subject, Chris Balcombe, has went and decorated his Dalek with Union Jack flags and pics of the Royal couple. First off…how does he just have a Dalek? Second, this is considered a weapon of mass destruction to most Brits (and those few outside of Britain that watch Dr Who) so why is it seen here serving tea and finger sandwiches?! Oh well, at least he’s in the spirit for the event. (nutter)

The good folk over at Teddie Films have come out with some true comedic genius. Prime Day, Prime Day sung by Princess Leia (though to be honest, it might be Prince Leia). The NerdBastards did a great write up on the song and even included the lyrics. Be sure to click the picture to see the YouTube video!
