Soon every home will have a robot helper. Don't worry. It's perfectly safe. Do you guys remember seeing that awesome teaser trailer for that rather creepy looking short called Blinky™? The one with the eerie Android robot look-alike. The short stars Max Records from Where The Wild Things Are and is written & directed by Ruairi Robinson, the Irish filmmaker who almost directed Akira then did a short titled The Silent City. Well thanks to a hot tip by Quiet Earth, the entire Blinky™ short can be viewed below, as it was uploaded on Vimeo. It's as crazy/sick/twisted/brilliant/awesome as you're expecting, so have fun and put the kids away!

Watch Ruairi Robinson's full-length short film Blinky™:

Blinky™ is the creation of Irish filmmaker Ruairi Robinson, an up-and-coming director with a few shorts in his filmography, including the Oscar nominated Fifty Percent Grey. Robinson wrote and directed this as his feature debut. Early on he was attached to Warner Bros' live-action Akira, but I think they wanted someone with a bit more experience, so Robinson focused on a smaller film as his first feature. This was shot mostly in/around Los Angeles and was finished filming last year. You can find more info about this on Robinson's official website or get more updates from his Twitter. Hope you guys enjoyed watching that! Thoughts?

After taking a look at that recent video highlighting The Beauty of Pixar, I found myself reflecting on how Pixar has crafted plenty of animated films that fill audiences with the same emotions that comes from even the most powerful dramas with the aid of live-action performances. And while I'm still skeptical of the film's chances to win the big award, I truly believe that Toy Story 3 would be worthy of the Oscar for Best Picture should Pixar's touching sequel take home the statue. Therefore I'm pleased to present to you even more of the spectacular Oscar campaign ads. We've featured a few of these before but now we have 13 more of these brilliant ads to check out.

Here is the collection of new Oscar campaign ads for Toy Story 3 courtesy of Disney:

Once again, I think that a franchise sequel is going to have a tough time winning Best Picture, but since Return of the King accomplished the same feat back in 2004 (and won every Academy Award for which the film was nominated), it's certainly not impossible. And considering the general consensus is that Return of the King swept the Oscars as a way of being honored the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy, perhaps Toy Story 3 will be seen in the same light. Perhaps the award could even stand for recognition of Pixar's contributions to animation over the years. What do you think?

The Alamo Drafthouse's t-shirt company Mondo Tees has been knocking it out of the park recently with amazing limited edition custom made posters, from Tron (old and new) to Star Wars to Guillermo del Toro. Of course, that's not all, as Mondo also has a new poster they've made for the Coen Brothers' True Grit, which as you hopefully haven't forgotten, hits theaters Wednesday this week! The poster, featuring a gnarly rattlesnake (it's a part of the movie for those who don't know) and some old-time lettering, was debuted on Yahoo and goes on sale this Wednesday. There are two alternate versions, both of which can be seen below.

The Coen Brothers' True Grit, which is apparently a more faithful take on the Portis novel, is about a young girl (Hailee Steinfeld) who's father is murdered. Determined to bring the killer to justice, Mattie enlists the help of a hard-drinking U.S. Marshal (Jeff Bridges) to track him down before a Texas Ranger (Matt Damon) does. I've seen True Grit and it's damn good, one of those incredible films that grows on me the more I think about it. It's definitely worth your money to see this week, so don't miss it! Paramount is bringing the Coen Bros' True Grit to theaters on December 22nd before Christmas this weekend. Watch the official trailer.
