The three videos after the jump don't really have anything to do with each other, except they all came out in the last couple of days, and giving them all separate posts felt lazy. So, let's break down what you're about to see:
-Nicolas Cage saying it's unlikely he'll return to the role of Ghost Rider, because of the perception that the last film was not a success, even though he insists that it indeed was because they made it on a shoestring. He also anticipates a reboot, which I would say is an inevitability simply because Sony would probably like to keep the character rather than let the rights lapse back to Marvel/Disney.
-Bill Plympton did a new Simpsons couch gag that riffs on film noir. It's pretty cool. Also, the episode in question had jokes about marijuana and fisting.
-And there's another Star Trek Into Darkness trailer, which has Kirk doing more crazy action stuff, including flying a new spaceship in a manner that suggests yes, JJ Abrams really would rather be writing for Han Solo than James T. Kirk.

Am I the only one that has had enough of J.J.'s take on Trek? Heck, I'm already bored with In To Darkness and I haven't even seen it yet.
Please, Disney, insist that J.J. is exclusive when you take him on to ruin Star Wars VII: The Geriatric Menace.
A joke about fisting...in a "Simpsons" episode? If not for "Once Upon a Time", I'd have nothing to watch Sunday nights at 8.
NOTHING.
@Canadian.Scott @TorH The joke wasn't that bad. Funny enough though, when Luke and I watched the joke on The Simpsons, he actually turned to me and asked "did The Simpsons just do a fisting joke"?, I replied "Yep".
Man, Sony is just a big old, annoying roadblock in the way of Marvel having a truly united universe.
@Canadian.Scott @DetectiveFork Except no one REALLY wants to see the X-Men and the Avengers get together. Unless it's Marvel's current "WOLVERINE IS AN AVENGER TOO!" editorial staff.
When dude is flying through space and we see the gorgeous moon and stuff, it looks EXACTLY like Dead Space 3. Like uncanny. Anybody?

There's been a TON of new GI Joe videos put up over the past couple of days, largely focusing on the Silent Interlude sequence. They all look pretty damn good.
I think the movie actually premiered today in South Korea because... well, Storm Shadow is just that popular over there, it seems.

If Sony was smart then Spider Man 3 better involve a team up with Ghost Rider.

The Trek trailer needed some Cumberbatch voice over because that voice gives me chills.

Plympton's couch gag for The Simpsons was good, but I think a rule of thumb these days is that if the couch gag lasts at least 30/45 seconds or more, the episode is going to be noticeably weaker. And that rule was indeed in effect last night.

When a star trek trailer somehow gets me more excited for Star Wars, something is either horribly wrong or horribly right.

@rabidronnie About freaking time. As if I didn't hate the Hobbit enough, it delayed the best series on TV.

@GeneralTekno @rabidronnie Filming starts on the 18th!!!!!!!! Same day as Doctor Who 50th special filming starts. Moffat is going to be a busy man.

@Someguy @rabidronnie @GeneralTekno Moffat shouldn't have shoehorned all those Holmes refs into the Christmas special, because that dampened the fervor a bit.

Okay. For the Star Trek one he might as well said, "punch it Chewy." I sure hope their is a plot somewhere in there besides the last plot of, Kirk is a rebel-inner team conflict-Boom-Boom. I'd hate for them to have Cumberbatch and have him turn into the forgotten villain like Nero.

@Someguy it certainly has that depressing "hollow visual spectacular" vibe going for it. The first one was only watchable due to the focus on characters - but they won't be able to sail that boat a second time.

@Canadian.Scott Well lets take a survey. Mr Spock, do you remember.

@Canadian.Scott @Someguy one theory is that black holes don't actually destroy anything - that everything is preserved at the event horizon - so they should be peachy
@step5555 @Gallen_Dugall @Canadian.Scott @Someguy which brings up the question of how did Winona Ryder survive into the twenty third century to give birth to Spock?

@Gallen_Dugall @Canadian.Scott @Someguy Problem with that is that Vulcan was ripped apart in the process. So, sure, the MASS still exists... but it's a pulp of teeny tiny rocks and bits of Winona Ryder.
