Here are a bunch of little bites to satisfy your hunger for movie culture:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Star Wars<\/em> vs. Star Trek<\/em>:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Shockingly, not everyone is super excited for Star Wars: The Force Awakens<\/em><\/strong>. We’ve already heard from Neil deGrasse Tyson<\/a> on why he favors Star Trek<\/em><\/strong> to Star Wars<\/em><\/strong>, but now Bill Nye<\/strong> chimes in, as well (via Geek Tyrant<\/a>):<\/p>\n

Dessert of the Day:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If you are excited about the new Star Wars<\/em><\/strong> and want another way to celebrate next week’s opening, here’s how to make a tasty BB-8<\/strong> droid cake (via Neatorama<\/a>):<\/p>\n

Movie Mashup of the Day:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We know so little about Poe Dameron<\/strong> (Oscar Isaac<\/strong>) from Star Wars: The Force Awakens<\/em><\/strong>, so maybe he actually will turn out to be a folk singer on the side (via Jason Gorber<\/a>):<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Movie Comparison of the Day:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Couch Tomato and the Honest Trailers guy offer 30 reasons that Ant-Man<\/em><\/strong> is the same movie as Honey I Blew Up the Kid<\/em><\/strong>. Not Honey I Shrunk the Kids<\/em>. Or Iron Man<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Vintage Image of the Day:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Ang Lee<\/strong> directs Heath Ledger<\/strong> and Jake Gyllenhaal<\/strong> in Brokeback Mountain<\/em><\/strong>, which opened in limited release 10 years ago today.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Documentary Parody of the Day:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Edward Snowden<\/strong> is an elf at the North Pole leaking Santa’s nice and naughty list in this Lego animation Citizenfour<\/em><\/strong> parody — or maybe it’s a premature parody of Oliver Stone’s Snowden<\/strong><\/em> (via Indiewire<\/a>):<\/p>\n

Cosplay of the Day:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Gender-swapped cosplay is always interesting, and here’s a female Star-Lord<\/strong> from Guardians of the Galaxy<\/em><\/strong> to prove it (via Fashionably Geek<\/a>):<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Filmmaker in Focus:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s a clever short film starring Alfred Hitchcock<\/strong> made with his many cameos in his own films and introductions in their trailers (via One Perfect Shot<\/a>):<\/p>\n
