Looks like he’s rocking the Glock this time.
Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders Trailer
Tuesday, August 23rd, 2016A 60’s Batman animation, complete with Adam West and Burt Ward reprising their roles as Batman and Robin, respectively. Genius!
Bravoflauge From Suicide Squad
Sunday, August 7th, 2016
You may have went to the theater to watch the new movie, “Suicide Squad”. Although it’s not prominently featured in the movie, you may have noticed an interesting camouflage pattern worn by the SEALs. Referred to as Bravoflauge, it was reportedly created by combining four different existing patterns.
According to SSD (and TFB) friend Spartan117GW, Vance and Brown may be introducing a cap on the pattern soon.
Justice League Trailer
Sunday, July 24th, 2016For those who don’t know, San Diego Comic-Con 2016 ended today, and with SDCC comes a lot of comic, gaming, and movie news. And with movie news, comes movie trailers, including this one for the upcoming Justice League movie.
The trailer already seems to portray a slightly more lighthearted feel than Batman v Superman, which is a bit jarring compared to the later film, but it looks like it could be pretty fun.
Chewbacca Beer Cozy
Thursday, July 14th, 2016
Think Geek continues with their unique branded items with this Chewbacca beer cozy; they call it a can cooler, but it’s all the same. Regardless of your beverage choice, the Chewbacca cozy is sized for standard 12 oz cans, and features a rubber interior with a polyester exterior.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Ultimate Edition Trailer
Thursday, June 2nd, 2016I actually liked Batman v Superman, despite some narrative flaws and a bit of weird editing; mostly I liked the action scenes, which were easily the best part of the film. Anyway, the Ultimate Edition is longer, R-rated, and is supposed to fix a bit of the pacing of the film, introducing scenes cut from the theatrical release which, at least a few of, are already in the trailer. I’m looking forward to it.

I really love practical effects in movies.

Anovos is a company that deals in high-quality, licensed props from popular science-fiction properties, such as Battlestar Galactica and Star Wars.

The Lego Batman Movie

I just wanted to point out that is actually happening.
Stormtrooper Range Targets By theCrow65
Monday, February 22nd, 2016
While Episode 6 proves that Stormtroopers are incapable of hitting an Ewok at any range, I still felt the above target, sent in as a tip from admin over at Soldier Systems Daily, was worth a post. However, it would be remiss of me not to try and figure out where it came from, since that info wasn’t provided. Luckily, a quick Google image search revealed that this, and other targets, are likely the work of Deviant Art user ‘theCrow65’, who didn’t just stop at Ewoks, but has an entire line of Stormtrooper targets, including Han, Leia, Tusken Raiders, and my personal favorite:
You can check out the rest of theCrow65’s work at thecrow65.deviantart.com/art/stormtrooper-target-V-110383878.
Do Yourself A Favor, And Go See Deadpool
Saturday, February 13th, 2016In my opinion, Deadpool is probably the very best comic-to-movie transition yet released, and there has been some really good ones both before and currently with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s a very hard ‘R’, but if that doesn’t bother you, it’s virtually a must-see.
Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice – Official Final Trailer
Thursday, February 11th, 2016Batfleck is kicking all kinds of ass in this trailer. I’m actually finally excited to see BvS when it comes out later this year.
Civil War Vs Apocalypse
Monday, February 8th, 2016Of the two Marvel property movie trailers that aired during last night’s Super Bowl, which one was better?
New Suicide Squad Trailer
Wednesday, January 20th, 2016SHOT Show coverage will continue as expected, but since the new Suicide Squad trailer had to come out this week, I’m throwing it up before the show starts today. Honestly, this trailer makes the movie looks like solid fun.
10 Cloverfield Lane Trailer
Sunday, January 17th, 2016As you might guess by the name, 10 Cloverfield Lane is the second movie in the Cloverfield franchise. With few details available, and the trailer not revealing much besides an underground bunker and a pissed-off, controlling, and possibly cabin feverish John Goodman (and two others), the question is:
Is this a direct sequel to Cloverfield, complete with giant monster(s), or a spiritual sequel with a similar premise?
We’ll have to wait until March 11th to find out.
Deadpool Red Band Trailer 2
Saturday, December 26th, 2015It’s a trailer, so it’s meant to entice. Regardless, it looks like Fox is giving the Merc with a Mouth a much more comics-accurate portrayal than in Wolverine: Origins. Hopefully, when Deadpool comes out in February, it won’t suck.
Star Wars Launch Bay
Sunday, December 20th, 2015
Someone close to TFB recently attended the Star Wars Launch Bay attraction at Disneyworld Parks, and took plenty of pics for me to share with the masses.
Star Trek Reacts To Star Trek Beyond Trailer
Saturday, December 19th, 2015Yeah, I kinda felt the same way. However, according to Simon Pegg, who co-wrote the film, the trailer isn’t really a good indicator of the tone of the film. I can buy that.
Nerdist – Kylo Ren Vs Santa Claus
Wednesday, December 16th, 2015Die Klapperschlange
Saturday, December 12th, 2015
Die Klapperschlange or ‘The Rattlesnake’ is the alternative title for the German release of the 1981 John Carpenter classic ‘Escape from New York’, one of my favorite films of all time. I didn’t decide to post this poster for the trivia, but to bring attention to that rather unique rifle that Snake doesn’t get to use in the film proper (his primary arm in the film, for what it’s worth, is a suppressed MAC 10 outfitted with a rifle scope). It’s a bit difficult to determine exactly what model the rifle is, although if I had to guess it looks like some kind of AR variant with a unique pistol grip and a removed hand guard.
If anybody had more of a clue what it could be feel free to let me know in the comments section.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 Trailer
Thursday, December 10th, 2015Predictably, they’re making a sequel to that Michael Bay-produced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot/remake/whatever. At least the original April from the 80s movies is going to be in it.
Uncanny Valley

UNCANNY VALLEY (2015) from 3DAR on Vimeo.
This short film by Federico Heller takes place in a grim future where Virtual Reality gaming isn’t quite what it seems.
