Coming to Amazon 7/21, Watchmen will be getting a special Nite Owl Blu-ray Edition; it’s a 3-disc set in a case shaped like Nite Owl’s ship (with working lights) on a pedestal.

While this teaser yields no surprises (it’s just Buzz going to infinity and beyond with signage), we’re looking forward to seeing Woody and gang again for Toy Story 3, due out 6/18/10.

Hitler’s bunker scene in Downfall has been fodder for countless spoofs, but the studio is now issuing takedown notices; the response from YouTubers: a sharply-worded DMCA parody.

100 Best Movie Lines in 200 Seconds is a grand Hollywood tour, with clips from comedy, sci-fi, drama and more; Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jack Nicholson are limelight hogs.

Like a cinematic version of Where’s Waldo, The Cryptic Canvas challenges you to ID 50 movies from the past two decades using clues; it’s in celebration of Empire Online’s 20th birthday.

In a world dominated by robot movies, there was Transforminators: this clever parody by IGN mixes Transformers and Terminator, with a brilliant (but fake) Christian Bale voiceover.

Not much has changed since the first trailer for Tim Burton’s 9: this second trailer is still filled with suspense, amazing graphics and badass rag dolls; in other words, still awesome.

Sherlock Homes may be set in Victorian London, but with a wise-cracking Robert Downey, Jr., explosions aplenty and Jude Law as Watson, this trailer is thoroughly 21st century.

The movie’s not out yet, but Belstaff’s Inglourious Basterds Lt. Coat (worn by Brad Pitt in the movie) sports a WW2 rugged look with Antique 10 wax cotton and a sheepskin shawl collar.

In the Loop brings The Office’s style of comedy to international politics, specifically satirizing the Iraq war with bumbling government officials and endless one liners; it hits theaters 7/24.

The Road finally gets a trailer, and just like the book it’s a doozie: the post-apocalyptic story seems overly focused on action, but Viggo Mortensen’s performance looks like a winner.

NSFW: Eclectic Method shows off their epic remixing skills with the Tarantino Mixtape; true to his films, it’s a brilliant mix of violence, bad behavior and quirky dialogue. Thanks, Jake!
