ALL NEW! Star Wars Gangsta Rap: Chronicles

The video above comes from our roundup of Spore's most demented and inspired pornographic creations, a while back, gathered into one giant sexy music video. And now that Hollywood is interested in making Spore the movie, we demand it include some Sporn.

Chris Wedge (Ice Age) is producing the film, while the writers from Disney's latest animation project The Princess and the Frog, are writing the script.

"I'm always looking for unique worlds to go to in animation," Wedge said. "From every perspective — visually, thematically and comedically — the world of 'Spore' provides the potential to put something truly original on the screen."

That's the truth. We can't imagine an interesting Spore movie without some unconventional genitalia bursting out on screen. That's one clever way to market it as a tent pole production, no?

The single, from the duo's new CD Junior, tells the sad tale of a lonely woman who apparently finds physical but not emotional solace from her android companion. In the Michael Baldwin-directed video, the robot appears opposite Robyn as a cross between Hellboy's limpid-eyed Abe Sapien and a Dyson vacuum cleaner. Watch for that final narrative twist at the end of the clip, below.

Apparently anticipating the io9 take on this song, the Röyksopp boys have beaten us to the punch and helpfully compiled their own list of the top 5 girl-and-robot pairings in movies. Check out their list, and let the arguments begin over who was left off (how about Ann Magnuson and John Malkovich as Frankie and Ulysses in Making Mr. Right?), or whether Ally Sheedy's Stephanie Speck and Johnny Five from Short Circuit even deserve an honorable mention on this list.

I mean you can't ask for much more from an award show that is basically one big peddler for commercials and self promotion. Well done Samberg — now, go hit on Megan Fox some more.

Can you name them all? Don't forget From Dusk Til Dawn.

I haven't heard too much lately, in regards to the campy British movie Lesbian Vampire Killers, except "What was that song they played in the opening credits?" Turns out, it's the lovely VV Brown ditty "Crying Blood." Thankfully LVK just released this new music video spliced with scenes from the movie. I dare you not to dance, because this little song puts the overly hyped Twilight soundtrack to utter shame.

DJ Mayhem and MC Mouthmaster Murf, both members of The Anomalies, have created this ten-minute rap rendition of RoboCop, frequently incorporating lines from the movie in their rhymes:

This isn’t the pair’s first rapping scifi remake. Earlier this year, they gave Predator the same musical treatment.

In this concept artwork from Hatch FX, which was done for Dave Navarro's "Rexall" music video. Hatch wanted the end of the world to look very pretty, and apparently the label didn't like it all, so you'll see much more dark and typical end of the world views, a bit like Dark City gone apocalyptic. But that doesn't stop us from loving this. They have some gorgeous matte paintings and concept art in their archives, and you can check out Navarro's end of the world video here.

Our tour of the interwebs in search of Страху нет yielded the band Mumiy Troll, who have been playing music in Russia since 1981. We couldn't find hide nor hair of this song on the site, though. You can hear their entire new album played on their website if you're patient enough to endure their brain-melting powers of rock. Maybe this will spawn a whole slew of scifi music videos that tell an epic story. We can only hope! After all, we're tired of listening to Styx's Kilroy Was Here over and over again.
