Peter Jackson did such a great job on the Lord of the Rings movies, it was pretty disappointing when it was revealed that he wouldn't be directing The Hobbit films. Guillermo del Toro was a great second choice, but he just quit the films because of delays, so once again the films were left without a director. Who would take them over?

If the report from Deadline New York is to be believed, it looks like fans are about to get their initial wish, as Peter Jackson is apparently going to direct the two Hobbit films after all.

The third season just aired its second episode of the season, but the show has done so well these past two weeks that HBO has already gone and announced that the show will be receiving a fourth season come next year. The fourth season will shoot this fall for an airing come next June.

Toy Story 3 was number one at the box office this weekend, taking in $109 million. The show how badly the film killed the competition, the movie in second place - The Karate Kid - only made $29 million.

Also of importance is the fact that this is the eleventh Pixar film in a row to open at number one. Is there any doubt that Pixar is the best there is at what they do?

Most porn is nothing more than two people having sex, and personally speaking, what's wrong with that? Sometimes, however, the people in porn try to do something special, such as doing a parody of a popular film and actually trying to have a story involved. Porn is getting a bit more advanced thanks to Hustler, who will be releasing This Ain't Avatar XXX 3D come this September.

So what's the big deal about this Avatar porn parody? Well, it's the most expensive porn ever made, and it's in 3D too! Oh the things I'd want to see and not see in 3D.

There's been talk for a little while now, but it seems that the prequel to The Thing has a tentative date for hitting theaters - April 29, 2011. So what can fans expect?

"Antarctica: an extraordinary continent of awesome beauty. It is also home to an isolated outpost where a discovery full of scientific possibility becomes a mission of survival when an alien is unearthed by a crew of international scientists. The shape-shifting creature, accidentally unleashed at this marooned colony, has the ability to turn itself into a perfect replica of any living being. It can look just like you or me, but inside, it remains inhuman. In the thriller The Thing, paranoia spreads like an epidemic among a group of researchers as they're infected, one by one, by a mystery from another planet.

Paleontologist Kate Lloyd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) has traveled to the desolate region for the expedition of her lifetime. Joining a Norwegian scientific team that has stumbled across an extraterrestrial ship buried in the ice, she discovers an organism that seems to have died in the crash eons ago. But it is about to wake up.

When a simple experiment frees the alien from its frozen prison, Kate must join the crew's pilot, Carter (Joel Edgerton), to keep it from killing them off one at a time. And in this vast, intense land, a parasite that can mimic anything it touches will pit human against human as it tries to survive and flourish."

Terra Nova - the upcoming television series being brought to you by Steven Spielberg - may have just found its star, who isn't exactly unknown to sci-fi audiences. Apparently, one of the leading candidates to star in Terra Nova is Jason O'Mara (who many probably last saw in the American remake of Life On Mars).

"Terra Nova would also send O'Mara traveling through time, as the series focuses on an ordinary family from 2149, when the planet is dying, who are transported back 85 million years to prehistoric Earth, where they join a colony of humans with a second chance to build a civilization. O'Mara would play Jim Shannon, a devoted father with a checkered past who guides his family through this mysterious new land."

Each year it happens - we get a glimpse of a few of the vehicles that end up becoming Transformers in the upcoming film. There's now a few such pics up for the upcoming third film, which seem to show some kind of emergency rescue truck, some big black pickup truck, and what looks like a Predator flying drone.
