See the photo above of John and Cameron sitting at the table? All you have to do is come up with a funny caption. You can try to come up with a deeply moving caption if you want, but it'll probably be easier to come up with something funny than something that will make us re-think out lives. What will you win?

We've got Terminator shirts with silvery writing on the front, military style hats, light-up red glowy bracelets, and Terminator eye window-clings, and Terminator flashlights that throw cool LED logos of the show into dark areas.

Simply submit your caption in the comments below, and you're officially entered. Be as long or as brief as you want, but above all try to be funny. Heck, we'd even take a good Firefly or Buffy joke. Just go nuts, folks. The contest will be open until roughly 10:30pm Pacific Time, right after tonight's finale ends on the West Coast. We'll pick a winner at that time and announce it tomorrow. The contest is open to everyone, unless you're living on the moon, and we'll pick up the shipping charges. However, we are not responsible if actual robots from the future start chasing you.

The window clings are massive and aren't pictured in the top photo, but they'll be included. You'll be the envy of all your friends, or you can just open your own Terminator merchandise store. The future is not yet written.

<![CDATA[First Picture of Ed Norton Hulking Out]]> Check out this newly-released photo of Ed Norton beginning to Hulk out! Based on what we've seen of this movie, it looks a lot closer to the way Bill Bixby became the Hulk than we would have thought. Hopefully the next picture will feature those creepy green contact lenses. Click through for a bigger image, plus special bonus pics of William Hurt as General Ross, and new pics of Wolverine from his solo movie.

<![CDATA[First Look at Indiana Jones in the Cobwebby Alien Dungeon]]> Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has a new photograph out today, all packed with cobwebs and spiders. It also looks like Shia LaBeouf's uniform throughout the film will be his greaser biker jacket, helping hammer home the whole "Hey, I'm a teenaged rebel, man!" attitude. If he picks up the whip once and swings it, we're calling shenanigans. We've got the full story on what's happening in this photo.

You've basically got two ways to show that something is really, really old in a movie. One is tons of dust, the other is an assload of cobwebs. Indiana Jones normally has both in spades, but they've gone above and beyond for this new movie.

Consider the evidence: in that opening scene in Raiders, he hauls ass through some massive webs before hitting the dirt in front of the Hovitos tribe. What's he covered in? Those same webs. In Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom he ventures down into insect-infested catacombs which include what? Giant spiders and cobwebs. In Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade has to again venture into cobwebby catacombs under Venice, and later deal with both a cobwebby Knight of the First Crusade, and his dad's cobweb-addled mind. Look for a final showdown in Indiana Jones and the Giant Spiders From Mars to finally put an end to this issue.

This reminds us of the exchange from the last movie, which we've altered a bit:

Indy: "That belongs in a musuem!"
Panama Hat Man: "So do you! With a ton of cobwebs for effect!"

<![CDATA[The Dark Knight Mashed Up with the Campy Knight of 1966]]> Warner Bros. has been tossing enough promo photos, teaser trailers, viral ads, and movie posters onto the internet to cause a serious glut of Dark Knight materials. Which is where this refreshing slap in the face video comes from. Netizen and part-time editor ntbone has mashed up the sound from the recent trailer for The Dark Knight with clips he's cut together from the 1966 Batman movie, starring Adam West as the caped crusader.



For those of you who haven't seen it, the Joker (who also is the central baddie in the upcoming movie) goes nuts in this film and dehydrates the world leaders at the United Nations, turning them into piles of dust. Luckily, Batman and Robin save the day, but screw things up a bit when they rehydrate everyone: everyone now speaks the wrong language. Hilarity! The dynamic duo then head off, leaving the leaders to deal with the problem on their own.

I'm surprised it's taken someone this long to do a Batman mashup with the old series, but this one made me laugh pretty hard. Especially the "Like me!" shot. I don't know why I'm finding Cesar Romero speaking with Heath Ledger's voice so amusing, but chalk it up to fumes and crossed wires. If someone could make us a some high-quality Heroes, or better yet, Misfits of Science meets meets X-Men mashups, we might be okay with the current state of television.

<![CDATA[We're Starting To Think Cloverfield Has No Monster]]> Paramount released another photo from the upcoming Cloverfield yesterday, and it's nothing less than completely pointless. The poster for the movie tells us loads more than the above shot featuring actors Michael Stahl-David and Mike Vogel does. But leaking irrelevant pictures is typical Hollywood behavior. Still, give us a little monster willya?

Director Matt Reeves told Variety yesterday, "The fun thing is you do see everything over the course of the movie in several different ways, but it's filmed heavily from one point-of-view. You move quickly. By the end you have intimate contact." So that means we'll at least find out what the monster is. Until then, give us some fake tissue samples, "leaked" government documents, a Photoshopped aerial photo of the destruction, or some more weepy hand-held camera wailings. Just no more photos like this, please.

New Look at Vogel and Stahl-David in 'Cloverfield'
