The giant bloody bodies are destroying this town, sending the message: Go green, or be smashed by flying bear corpses. Really horrible. [Geekologie]

<![CDATA[Get Yelled At By Avatar's Colonel, And Watch New Flying Alien Footage]]> The hideously scarred tough guy from James Cameron's Avatar finally gets his chance to put us in our place. Colonel Quaritch explains just how dangerous the planet Pandora really is. Also, new concept art and video from our new colony.

The video above comes from Avtar's new viral marketing site AVTR which is just jam packed with videos, art and stills. Including this concept art, which looks like the human base on Pandora, which is completely tricked out with security systems, fences and some possibly heavy artillery.


And just in case you can't hear the actor Stephen Lang here's what the man is trying to get through to you.

You are not in Kansas any more. You are on Pandora, ladies and gentlemen. I'd be on the defensive, everything that crawls, flies or squats wants to kill you and eat your eyes for JuJu beans. It's a harsh place, people. Do not wander. We have an indigenous race of humanoids who are very hard to kill. If you want to survive, you need to have a strong mental attitude. Questions? That's all.

And finally in giant blue alien news there is a Japanese TV Spot for Panasonic that shows some footage we haven't seen before. It's brief, but you get a feel for the wing span of the flying creatures, and how the natives go about riding on the backs of these monsters.

<![CDATA[The Rock's Cab Is A Magnet For Stormtroopers And Aliens]]> Race To Witch Mountain's Dwayne Johnson not only chauffeurs around a pair of tween aliens in his cab, but apparently some of our stormtrooper buddies as well. Check out the Superbowl Witch Mountain trailer early.

MTV got their mits on this trailer before it airs on Superbowl Sunday, and I have to say I'm quite intrigued by the whole alien bounty-hunter sub-plot. I mean, that's a dead ringer for Master Chief, right? Disney's Race To Witch Mountain comes out on March 13.

<![CDATA[Evil Outer Space Dictators Just Want Kittens]]> At least one good thing came out of our Knight Rider watching last night, and that was this credit card commercial that we almost missed while whizzing by in TiVo light-speed. An evil galactic ruler and his army of red robo-clones stand poised for dominance, and he uses his newfound power to create his own credit card, complete with a picture of kittens on it. "WAR KITTENS!?" bellows his crazy eyed, exposed brain-circuitry sporting assistant.

The armies of evil look like Gort from The Day The Earth Stood Still painted red and sporting fins, and we love the pre-packaged versions of them lined up behind the two evils. They look like something you might find in a toy store in the action figures aisle. However, it's the androidical sidekick who steals the entire commercial. From his excitement over War Kittens, to the way he "accidentally" blows up the space station in the background and says "Oops," we need more bad guys like this.

<![CDATA[Jumper Teleporting Through Commercials]]> Advertising has gone so meta that only teleportation can explain it. In this ad, Jumper star Hayden Christensen uses his teleporting gift to throw himself into Serena Williams' computer ad. So basically he's leaping out of a commercial for the film, which is about teleporting mutants, and into an old ad for Hewlett Packard, starring Williams. It's a new mutant kind of advertising synergy, more like cross-cannibalism than cross-promotion. Be very scared. 'Jumper' ad leaps between products [Variety]

<![CDATA[Battlestar Galactica Sells Anti-Depressants]]> The new Battlestar Galactica ads that began airing during last night's Tin Man miniseries have us wondering why they don't have a list of possible side effects running after them. "Possible Battlestar Galactica side effects might include dizziness, headaches, nausea, feelings of inadequacy, delusions of grandeur, and diarrhea."
