Peter Dinklage plays Bolivar Trask, a military scientist who created the Sentinels.

X-Men: Days of Future Past will be released on May 23, 2014.

In memory of the late Eileen Brennan, here she is as Mrs. Peacock in one of my favorite movies, Clue (1985).

Eileen Brennan, who earned an Oscar nomination for her hilarious turn as the exasperated drill captain in 1980’s “Private Benjamin,” has died, CNN has confirmed. She was 80.

Brennan died Sunday (July 28, 2013) at her Burbank, California, home after a battle with bladder cancer, her management company said.

“Our family is so grateful for the outpouring of love and respect for Eileen,” her family said in a statement. “She was funny and caring and truly one of a kind. Her strength and love will never be forgotten. She will be greatly missed by all of us.”

Brennan was known for character roles as sassy, brassy women, the kind with a sandpaper surface but a light, pure heart.

She played a waitress in “The Last Picture Show” (1971), the companion of Paul Newman’s conman in “The Sting” (1973), a wisecracking maid in “At Long Last Love” (1975) and Mrs. Peacock in “Clue” (1985). She also did a great deal of television, including a reprise of her “Private Benjamin” role in the TV series of the same name.

Other TV appearances included guest shots on “Taxi,” “thirtysomething,” “ER,” “Murder, She Wrote,” “Mad About You,” “Touched by an Angel” and six episodes of “Will & Grace.” The latter earned her an Emmy nomination, one of seven she earned in her career — including one that resulted in a win, a supporting actress-comedy pick for “Private Benjamin.”

Here’s your chance to buy the Iron Man costume that Dan Harmon wore at the Community panel at Comic-Con 2013! It was created by homemade robot suit master Rob Schrab.

Bid on it now!

Are you a fan of NBC’s Community?

Are you a fan of Dan Harmon rising from the ashes of unemployment and returning to the show he created?

This is DAN HARMON’S IRON MAN COSTUME that was built less than 16 hours before heading down to the 2013 Comic Con.

* Heart is battery powered — lights up.

* Back plate says: “STREETS AHEAD” — lights up with various, mini-flash lights (In no way is it a proper lighting system!)

* Palms light up (one hand needs new batteries).

* Top of chest plate is signed by Dan Harmon.

* Comes with boots!

* Smells like Dan!

It got a little beat up when Jim Rash and Danny Pudi took it off of Harmon but if you’re good with a hot glue gun, it can be fixed up pretty easy. It was literally thrown together. Great piece of Community history! Wear it at 2014’s Comic Con or when you watch the fifth season with your jealous friends!

Please ask any questions, I’ll do my best to answer them!

Review from IMDb user HaemovoreRex:

Released here in the UK under the alternative title of, Ninja Operation 5: Godfather the Master, this is yet another utterly baffling but hilarious cut & paste effort brought to us by our good old friend Joseph Lai.

Well, if you’re reading this review, chances are that you’ve come across these glorious cut & paste ninja flicks before so rather than give yet another history lesson of the brazen scam that IFD and Filmark productions were running in the 1980’s I’ll instead offer you a glimpse of some of the highlights in the film in question…..

Herein you’ll find a plethora of God awful dubbing and inappropriate voice over work, some fabulously attired ninja, a soundtrack stolen from pop group Ah Ha(!), a vengeful mob boss’s son called Raymond who spends the entire film laughing like an imbecile, a brief scene featuring a man with possibly the worst mullet ever(!!!), a truly demented fight near the beginning in which the combatants miraculously switch from fighting in an office, to suddenly appearing, fighting atop a rooftop and finally suddenly appearing (and still fighting) in a public park somewhere(WTF?!!!) and best of all, the hilariously abrupt ending in this in which Richard Harrison’s character get’s a rather unpleasant surprise in the final shot….classic!!!

Ah, why don’t they make films like this anymore?

As awful as this commercial is, it’s still a better representation of Street Fighter II than the Van Damme movie.

Star Wars the arcade game was released by Atari Inc in 1983. It is a simulation of the attack on the Death Star from the final act of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.

Jack Handey, best know for his “Deep Thoughts” segments from Saturday Night Live, just wrote his very first novel: The Stench of Honolulu: A Tropical Adventure.

Jack Handey’s exotic tale is full of laugh-out-loud twists and unforgettable characters whose names escape me right now. A reliably unreliable narrator and his friend, who is some other guy, need to get out of town. They have a taste for adventure, so they pay a visit to a relic of bygone days-a travel agent-and discover an old treasure map. She might have been a witch, by the way. Our heroes soon embark on a quest for the Golden Monkey, which takes them into the mysterious and stinky foreign land of Honolulu. There, they meet untold dangers, confront strange natives, kill and eat Turtle People, kill some other things and people, eat another thing, and discover the ruins of ancient civilizations.

Here are four illustrated video excerpts from the book:
