Have you seen the awesome new trailer for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy? If not, take a moment and watch it below. Wasn’t that great? We know that Star Lord (Chris Pratt) is a half-human/half-alien who was taken from Earth in the early 80s. It looks like his nostalgia for Earth and the 80s in general will extend further than the Walkman he carries around in the film. Check out this still from the trailer. ALF trading cards and puffy stickers? A Troll Doll? Scratch-and-Sniff stickers? Awesome.

If Star Lord had been taken from Earth in the early 90s instead, there would totally be a He’s back, in POG form! joke in there somewhere.

ALF Movie in the Works? Maybe | /Film
For one reason or another, I haven’t written about Alf much on the site, but I love Alf. I still watch it occasionally and find it to be pretty funny still, and I’ve been patiently waiting until Gordon Shumway makes his way to the big screen. Plus, I’ve been wondering what Paul Fusco has been up to since the Alf days. I’d go see an Alf movie. Would you?

How Does THE DARK KNIGHT RISES End and Where Will BATMAN Begin Again?
I agree, I wouldn't be surprised at all if Batman dies at the end of TDKR. Think about it, Nolan’s Batman seems like a temporary hero, not a long term solution to Gotham’s problems. They’ve been marketing TDKR with phrases like The Epic Conclusion and The Legend Ends, almost like they’re preparing audiences for the possibility.

3D Simpsons Short Starring Maggie Simpson In Front Of “Ice Age 4″
I have no interest in seeing an Ice Age movie again, but seeing a Simpsons short film might be worth the price of admission. I’m still bummed I didn’t get to see the Simpsons Movie on the big screen, but seeing a short might help numb the pain.

Pixar’s “The Avengers”
What the Avengers would look like if they were Pixar characters. Some interesting choices here, but you have to love Sully as Hulk.

If you are new to the British Sci-Fi Phenomenon that is Doctor Who, check out this awesome info graphic on Bob Canada’s Flickr page.

HOP – Movie Trailers – iTunes
Something tells me that Illumination Entertainment's involvement in this movie is going to make it way better than it should be. They were behind Despicable Me, and for some reason, HOP actually looks kind of cool.

Toypedia: ALF
Toypedia posted some great scans of retro Topps ALF cards.

'The Consumer' is a wonderfully bizarre animated short. Watch it.

This Is the Saddest Book I Can Imagine
I agree, and this is coming from a guy who's made lots of meals for one in a Microwave.

Kraft Has a 400,000 Sq. Foot Underground Cheese Cave
Mmm, cheese cave.

ALF Uses The N-Word in Uncovered Behind-The-Scenes Footage | /Film
Yikes! I wonder whatever happened to Paul Fusco.

Jon Favreau Explains His Decision to Not Direct ‘Iron Man 3′ | /Film
It’s cool that he’s not afraid to express his enthusiasm for the Magic Kingdom project. He did a great job with the family movies Zathura and Elf, and I think he’ll make this movie cool.

Once again I’m reminded I have no artistic abilities. If I did though, I’d spend all my time making illustrations like this, so maybe that’s a good thing.

Dave Perillo’s ‘Max Rebo Band’ Album Art
We’ve featured Dave’s art before here on the ‘squatch back when he made some awesome Ghostusters art. I’m sure the Max Rebo Band has never looked this good.
