About Those Robots…
I don’t know how I missed this easter egg before: In Firefox, type about:robots into the location bar. (via @Aeire & @IsobelWren) If you’re a science fiction fan, you’ll get a kick out of it!

Second-Best. Ripoff. Title. Ever!
Remember Alien vs. Hunter and other films with ripoff titles like Snakes on a Train? It turns out that Asylum has actually done a sequel to Transmorphers (yes, they went there): Transmorphers: Fall of Man.
As if the original title wasn’t enough, they actually played on the title of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen when they did their own sequel!
And yes, that does say Bruce Boxleitner on the box.
Competing Clanks
Standing in the movie theater lobby, listening to competing CLANKing from Star Trek and Terminator: Salvation.
