If some arrogant manager pisses off an engineer with access to an ionosphere-manipulating facility, he better be ready for it.

This time, it’s real, folks. Featuring Aang, practicing his forms surrounded by candles…and the Fire Nation navy.

After having played American McGee’s Alice, I think Tim Burton can make an equally dark but albeit not as disturbing movie of renaissance man Lewis Caroll’s classics Through the Looking Glass and of course, Alice in Wonderland.

Since this is a Tim Burton fantasy film, guess who stars in it. Yup, Johnny Depp is the Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter is the Red Queen. It also stars Anne Hathaway as the White Queen and Mia Wasikowska as Alice.

There’s no doubting now that Pixar is in it to make people happy.

Ten-year old Colby Curtin had a very rare form of cancer and she knew she would soon die because of it. But ever since seeing the previews for Pixar’s UP, she fought to stay alive so she could see it. However, her condition prevents her from being taken to a cinema to enjoy the feature.

A family friend tried to call Pixar, wrangled the automated answering system and got through a human. After relaying Colby’s wish, Pixar flew an employee the next day, armed with a DVD of the film (note that there are no commercially available copies of the film yet), some toys and a poster.

They held a private screening of the film in the Curtins’ home. Colby couldn’t keep her eyes open because of pain (meds couldn’t help her) but she said she thoroughly enjoyed the film.

The employee left afterwards (albeit in tears; Colby’s mother said his eyes were welled up). He left Colby with an adventure resembling the scrapbook of the protagonist in the movie.

About seven hours later, Colby died in her parents’ arms.

Pixar refuses to comment on the matter or to reveal the employee’s name and others involved.

Executive producer since forever David X. Cohen tells Wired, that the crew and staff of Planet Express and their wacky associates, will explore the dark side of the iPhone and Twitter, have at least one “shocking relationship” and shares some thoughts of people procuring the show online. As Cohen puts it,

“If [file sharing] gets an episode to somebody who wants the rest of [the Futurama shows] in higher quality, torrents are good,” he said. “But there has to be a balance between free marketing and free giveaways…. Fox has been working on improving the website, but the fans have built better ones. I often wonder if Fox should bring in the fans on that.”

They’re working on how to enter the digital marketplace but it seems that this is one show in favor of digital distribution…

I can’t believe I haven’t known about these before.

Marvel.com came out with a series of videos featuring action figures in funny skits. There are three episodes so far and they really are a riot (eg, M.O.D.O.K at the red carpet of the Wolverine Movie premiere, Deadpool doesn’t feel like being funny and hits a nerve from M.O.D.O.K.).

But what’s really funny is the trailer for the whole series:

Sounds familiar?
