Marvel and DC are dropping bombs left and right, but an odd pair are stealing the limelight from comic book heroes: the story of King Arthur, as told through the eyes of Guy Ritchie. Starring Charlie Hunnam, Jude Law, Djimon Hounsou, Eric Bana, Aiden Gillen and more.
The Evolution of Star Trek
It’s hard to believe that Star Trek has been around for 50 years now. To celebrate this auspicious occasion, the editors at Burger Fiction put together this tribute reel, which compiles footage from the earliest days of The Original Series, through the latest films from J.J. Abrams and Justin Lin.
Along the way, we’re reminded of great moments like The Wrath of Khan, The Next Generation, and Voyager. Also, not so great ones like The Motion Picture. Eesh, that was bad. Especially the costumes. And V-Ger.
I’m just so glad they included Kirk’s hilarious “Double dumbass on you!” line from The Voyage Home. If you’re a Star Trek fan, you owe it to yourself to take 16 minutes out of your day to watch this.

This movie may be too good to actually exist. Will Arnett’s gloriously self-absorbed Batman. Michael Cera is an amazing loony Boy Wonder. For the Penguin’s sake, Robin literally throws his tights in Batman’s face. Everything about this Lego Batman Movie trailer is, as they say, awesome.
Directed by Chris McKay, The Lego Batman Movie opens February 10. It features the voices of Arnett, Michael Cera, Zach Galifianakis, Rosario Dawsno, and Mariah Carey.

The Justice League Join Forces for Their First Team Photo and Movie Footage
DC’s cinematic heroes assembled for the first time at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, with our first truly good look at the Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg. They’re not bad at all! We also got to watch a very, very early teaser trailer for Justice League, and here’s what we saw:
It starts with a bearded Bruce Wayne in some kind of fishing village. He asks the town about the man who brings fish to the starving town. He’s told the man comes on the king tide, and he was there last night. At that moment, Aquaman turns around.
Next we’re in a forest, it looks ancient and someone is digging up a mother box. Bruce Wayne again: “I believe an enemy is coming, I’m looking for warriors.” And we see two huge waves crashing down on Aquaman.
“I’m building an alliance to defend us,” Wayne continues. Then we’re in the Batcave, where Wonder Woman is sitting at a terminal. “Will he fight with us?” she asks.
“More or less,” Wayne says.
“Well, more more or more less?”
“Probably more less.”
“He said no?”
“He said no.”
We then cut to the Flash sequence that we saw filmed on set, which you can read about in full here. However, now the effects were finished and when Flash goes to grab the Batarang, lightning flashes all around him.
Cut to: a cave. It’s the whole team minus Superman. Cyborg says to Batman, “I heard about you. I didn’t think you were real.”
Batman responds, “I’m real when it’s useful.” Then the title card.
In the last bit, Aquaman slams Bruce Wayne against a wall and Bruce says, “So I hear you can talk to fish.”

WikiLeaks Just Published Tons of Personal Data Like a Bunch of Dickheads
WikiLeaks firmly believes in radical transparency, the idea that the world would be better if there were no secrets. That level of transparency can be used for good, like the time the site published a video called “Collateral Murder” showing innocent journalists shot to oblivion by US troops in 2010. But not always.
The organization has also used that tradition of transparency for less just causes, like today when the site published 19,252 emails from top US Democratic National Committee members, many of which included personal information about innocent donors including credit card, social security numbers, and passport numbers.
If you visit the WikiLeaks DNC emails website, you can browse the emails using a simple boolean search. Typing a word like “contribution” will actually turn up hundreds of results. The emails include unencrypted, plain-text listings of donor emails addresses, home addresses, phone numbers, social security numbers, passport numbers, and credit card information. WikiLeaks proudly announced the data dump in a single tweet.
The new leak is part of the organizations ongoing Hillary Leaks series, which launched in March as a searchable archive of more than 30,000 emails and attachments sent to and from Clinton’s private email server, while she was Secretary of State. The original email dump included documents from June 2010 to August 2014. The new release includes emails from January 2015 to May 2016.
This isn’t the first time WikiLeaks has recklessly published personal information of innocent civilians, either. Human rights groups such as Amnesty International and Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission have previously requested that WikiLeaks remove names of Afghan civilians in 77,000 classified military documents published online. The civilians were (ironically) collateral damage in the same leak that spurred the “Collateral Murder” video obtained by Wikileaks.
Exactly why Wikileaks decided not to redact the private information of unsuspecting Americans remains unclear. We’ve reached out for comment and will update as soon as we hear back.
