Looking to indulge your geek tendencies? Let us introduce you to the season’s must-have coffee table book, a little double-shot of nostalgia known as Lego Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary, which hit stores this week.
Acting as a comprehensive catalog of all LEGO Star Wars sets (and spin-offs) from the last decade, the book breaks down the facts and features behind every single ship and minifigure ever released. We recently caught up with the book’s author, Simon Beecroft, who was kind enough to speak to us about the various features. For a look inside the pages of the Visual Dictionary, watch the video below…
A few weeks ago at San Diego Comic-Con, director Jon Favereu and cast gave fans a sneak peek at the very first footage from Iron Man 2, which doesn’t come out until May 7, 2010. Well lucky for us, some intrepid nerd with a camera recorded the 5-minute preview and leaked it to the internets this weekend. With some good ol’ snarky Stark-isms from Robert Downey Jr. and our first looks at Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Whiplash (Mickey Rourke), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell), and War Machine (Don Cheadle), it’s definitely worth putting up with the bootleg quality to watch.

Comic-Con 2009 was a busy few days for Tyrese Gibson and Team MAYHEM! The comic book drops today (August 5). Both groups increased awareness and developed greater fan following at Comic Con. And me? I caught the action. But as you can see, I had my share of fun as well! Enjoy the pictures and video below…
