'Good As Gold' - A Doctor Who Short To Help Hold You Over Until Season 7

Doctor Who has become a bit of an obsession for me. Not just Doctor Who, but pretty much all BBC shows. But Doctor Who is what started it for me. So one can imagine just how hard it is for me each spring/summer as I wait in anticipation for the next season to start. Doctor Who is also one of the most popular shows among kids in England. A lot of the shows popularity comes from the younger demographic. So the gang over at BBC decided to kill two birds with one stone and create a short based on a script written by the students of  the Ashdene School. The result is 'Good As Gold', and features the Doctor, Amy (my god I love her), a Weeping Angel, and the Olympic Torch... yup, this short is pretty great. Good job kids.

'Saber 2 - Return of the Bodywash'

Fanboys exist on all levels. They can be living in their moms basement or multi-million dollar making celebrities. The only difference would be that the multi-millionaires have the means to put their fanboy loves into action. Take my man Seth Green for example. Dr. Evil's son has parlayed his riches into a super successful animation show (Robot Chicken) that tackels all the geek topics that he loves. He also is becoming more involved in directing, so he decided to use his new found talents behind the camera to bring us a live action Star Wars short/fake advertisement for Saber, the Star Wars Universe's answer to Axe bodywash. This one is a geek dream with Chewy, lightsabers, and a special guest appearance but a Star Wars fave. It is also a chance for Seth to show off his sexy ass wife Clare Grant. Its good to be a geek with loot!!! Click after the jump for the full video...

Requiem For A Dream... With Puppets!!!

Did Requiem for a Dream fuck with your head as much as it did mine? Darren Aronofsky made a bleak, dark film about the destructive nature that drugs have on a group of people and it stands as one of the most truly disturbing movies ever made. So when somebody comes along and decides to make a 60 second version of the film using puppets to replace the actors... well, lets just say that my interests became piqued. Click after the jump to see Brendan James Boyd's gritty version of the film through the mouths of these lovely looking puppets. .. CREEPY!!!
