<![CDATA[At Last, We Get Justice For The Star Wars Prequels]]> We've found one actual funny moment from Disaster Movie. No really, hear us out. The spooftastic comedy that's in theaters today seriously has one chuckle-worthy joke where Prince Caspian gets to do the one thing we'd always dreamed of doing to the lifeless proto-Vader, Hayden Christensen.

I'm pretty sure that after watching that clip, you've pretty much seen the good parts of Disaster Movie. But it was quite cathartic to see Hayden finally called to account.

<![CDATA[Disaster Movie Sacrifices Bad Comedy For Worse Cleavage]]> The parodies of recent science fiction classics appear to be tremendously watered down in Disaster Movie. At least, a new clip for the parody flick shows Kim Kardashian and Carmen Electra thrashing about in skin-tight outfits, with only a weak excuse for a Wanted spoof thrown in. They're just in it for the lycra. Click through to see the sad Angelina Jolie riff, and a few stills, after the jump.

What I find truly funny is listening to Kim Kardashian say "curve the bullet" like she has no clue what she's talking about. She might as well be speaking in Chinese, for the amount of sense she puts into that line. Same goes for Electra.


Disaster Movie is in theaters August 29.

<![CDATA[What The Best-Dressed Starfleet Officers Will Be Wearing Next Year]]> Anything can be a spoiler, it seems — even clothing. A new report gives details on the Starfleet uniforms in the new Star Trek movie, including some shocking miniskirt news. Also, you can take in key plot points (and form snap judgments) for Death Race, Disaster Movie and Chuck season two by watching some new trailers. We have higher res Watchmen posters that show just how close it'll be to the graphic novel. And there are new scoops on Battlestar, Sarah Jane Adventures, Heroes, Smallville and Eureka. Which villain is George Clooney-esque? It's a spoiler!

Star Trek:

The uniforms in J.J. Abrams' Trek relaunch will look uncannily similar to the original series' uniforms. The men will have grey pants that are almost black, with boots, and women will have miniskirts that are (gasp!) a bit longer than on the original show. And at least one female castmember will wear (OMG!) pants. From the waist up, both men and women will have the color-coded V-neck shirts, over a black undershirt. (Hence that little V-shaped black collar thingy.) As in the original show, Kirk, Chekov and Sulu are yellowshirts, Spock and McCoy are blueshirts, and Uhura and Scotty are (non-fatal) redshirts. But there are also many varieties of outfits, including civillian clothes, cadet uniforms, pressure suits, and different variations used for scenes on another starship. (In the past?) [Trek Movie]

Watchmen:

Here are some higher res versions of the Watchmen posters from Comic-Con that we posted the other day.

Disaster Movie:

Here's a new 30 second TV spot for Disaster Movie. I think this is probably all of the funny moments from the film in one easy-to-digest chunk, actually. [Coming Soon]

Death Race:

And speaking of TV spots crammed with all the good stuff, here are five new spots for Death Race, which opens in a few weeks. I saw one of these during The Daily Show last night, and at TiVo fast-forward speeds, it definitely made this film look like some nice short-attention-span candy. [Shocktillyoudrop]




Sarah Jane Adventures:

Still no Doctor Who spoilers, sorry. But here are some new spoilers for spin-off show Sarah Jane Adventures. In episodes 9 and 10 of the new season, Sarah Jane and Luke travel back in time to the 1950s, to a church fete (a kind of fair) at Foxglove Village. There, they meet Sarah Jane's parents, plus baby Sarah Jane. We discover that Sarah Jane doesn't remember her parents, because they died when she was a baby. So she's tempted to alter history and bring her parents back. (And didn't we already do this with Rose on Who? Plus, didn't we already visit Sarah Jane as a girl last season?) Also, Sarah Jane introduces herself and Luke as "the Beckhams." [Time Vortex]

Battlestar Galactica:

TV Guide posted some Comic-Con interviews with the Battlestar cast. Now that the Galactica crew has found Earth, what next? Says Jamie Bamber, they have to wake up and figure out what meaning is left, and if there is none, they have to create some somehow. They have to find a way to keep on living now that their reason for carrying on is gone. It's a metaphor for the meaning of life.

Meanwhile, Katee Sackhoff says Starbuck is still questioning whether she's a Cylon. And now that she knows her husband is a Cylon, she's re-evaluating what it means to be a Cylon because she still loves Anders. (She does?) And it sounds like something significant will happen with the Starbuck-Apollo-Anders love triangle, because Sackhoff stops herself just in time before giving away a big spoiler. But she did say we'll know by the end whether Starbuck and Apollo belong together.

As the final batch of episodes begin, every character has had his/her heart ripped out, says James Callis. Everything they thought they believed in has been trashed. [Galactica Sitrep]

Heroes:

Here are a few more promo pics from the Heroes third season premiere. Nice cricket bat, Maya! [Heroes Spoilers]

Chuck:

Are you pumped for the return of Chuck, the show about a beta-nerd with a spy computer in his brain? Here's a new high-octane trailer. [SpoilerTV]

Smallville:

Here's an incredibly blurry copy of the Smallville season eight trailer that appeared at Comic-Con last weekend. I think I saw a blob that could have been Clark at one point. And I'm guessing that's new LuthorCorp CEO Tess saying something about thinking of her as more than a boss.

And meanwhile, the show's new producers hint there may be "Super Sex" in the future for Lois and Clark. [CW Lounge]

Also, Doomsday is "charming and George Clooney-like," says Alison Mack. And Chloe's superpowers are going to grow. And Clark will realize he may not be entitled to all of Chloe's time. [TV Guide]

Eureka:

S.A.R.A.H., the smart house on Eureka, answered fans' questions on Twitter. Among other things, she hinted that now that the drones are under control, there are problems brewing in Lab 27. [Twitter]

<![CDATA[Radioactive Sperm From Space Somehow Not Funny After All]]> The new Disaster Movie poster and trailer make us wish the world actually was ending before this film's release date. Spoofing Iron Man by dropping a cow on him? Zing. We guess. Though I will give them one tiny grain of credit for making fun of the Hulk and his magic shorts. Click through to see the trailer.

<![CDATA[Disaster Movie To Be Self-Fulfilling Prophecy]]> A typical gag from the new parody film Disaster Movie is a play on The Day After Tomorrow where Lady Liberty is wearing a snorkel mask. How spoofy. It must be that time of year when all of the actors that populate the Scary Movie, Epic Movie etc. franchises need more money because Carmen Electra, Kimberly Kardashian, and a lot of the cast from Mad TV are appearing. Hellboy, Batman, Wanted, Prince Caspian, and Indiana Jones among the scifi loves are set up to be spoofed. To spare you all from ever having to have to see this we've got some spoiler details, and a half naked picture of Carmen Electra and Kim Kardashian in costume (I'm assuming), after the jump.

According to sources Carmen Electra will be parodying the role of Fox from Wanted, Angelina Jolie style. Which I can only assume means lots of sexy posing and a body full of tattoos. Many, many superheroes will pop up, from Hulk to Beowulf (hopefully they've got the cash for motion capture). The picture of Electra and Kardashian "spoofing" the WWE ladies? Any excuse to get that Armenian half-naked sells tickets, I guess.
