NEWS: VIKINGS VERSUS ALIEN DRAGON!!!

GEEK: VIKINGS VERSUS ALIEN DRAGON!!!

That awesome title is compliments of my pal, the fellow dragons-vikings-aliens loving Drake. It's the title of the email she sent me which delivered the below bit of awesomeness into my formerly cold, dark empty world.

I'm sorry, how else would you describe a world without a viking-dragons-aliens movie? Yeah I thought so. I don't know how I did it, I really don't, waking up each day to toil in the fields (metaphorical), drinking stale beer (actual), putting my starry-eyed head down each night (uh, the starry-eyed part is a metaphor, but I really did put my head down so...?) dreaming of the way things could be... Some night dreaming of Vikings... Other nights of alien dragons, but never putting the two together...

But now, some genius has.

By the way, I'm printing out the email that brought this cinematic beauty into my life and I'm framing it. The frame will read "the greatest email of all-time" and it will hang in the place of my old "greatest email" that formerly hung there, the one announcing the arrival of my fifth born son. (Sorry Eias! And sorry I missed your birth too! But I did love the email you sent once you'd grown old enough to write it... for awhile anyays, lol... Anywhoo, sorry I haven't been able to visit, talk soon xoxo.)

Behold. The sun is about to shine brighter (and with the extra light you'll be able to much more easily spot the incoming dragons) the air's gonna taste sweeter, and a 50 pound broadsword will soon be cleaving your smiling, super-excited skull.



Okay, let's sum that up briefly. It starts, STARTS, with a Viking war. THAT'S WHERE MOST MOVIES FINISH. That's all 300 was and they weren't even Vikings! These guys are. Vikings. Are you following me?

Then an alien guy in spacemen armor crashes to Earth... the Earth with Vikings! (Note: this is where I paused the video to "collect myself" which involved both swooning and a fanning of myself with a nearby magazine.)

Then the new guy interloper super casually reveals - like you and I might reveal we watched the latest episode of Venture Bros. and it was great or that we were pondering dinner options, and leaning towards Thai - He casually puts it out there, y'know, if yer interested, that he's been hunting dragons.

This trailer has (literally and metaphorically) kicked me in the fucking neck. I think it's called Outlander. I think it's going to show us a new way of life...

(Note to self: try shining this trailer onto spots of parched, barren Earth, to see if crops will grow. Also, remember to rub it on the stomach of the 87-year-old woman down the street, so she can have children once again.)



TheCoolerKing kind of enjoyed that Matthew Mconnahey fighting dragons movie, but not enough to look up the proper spelling of his name.

Fact: All aliens (and Vikings) speak 21st Centruy English

Fact: Dragons and Balrogs are distantly related.

Fact: I'd stand in line in the snow for the premiere of this movie.

That movie looks fucking wicked.

I kind of feel like I just watched Michael Bay jack his horrible, churning man-load into Uwe Boll's gaping mouth.

Anything with vikings is automatically made of epic win.

I am sad for John Hurt. He's been in a lot of horrible shit, but I will always love him for his work on Jim Henson's Storyteller. Now he's going to get eaten by an alien dragon.

^^^All at once

My hope is that he's playing a grizzled, down on his luck dragon-slayer who has to come out of retirmenet to kill the beast...

I'm feeling like I should have seen the phrase "A Sci-fi Channel original presentation" at the beginning of this trailer.

Yes, this movie will officially rock!

These are the kind of movies I look forward too, as the generation of awesome replaces the generation of old boring farts that currently run things.

just wow

Alien dragons dont have a chance in hell against JESUS.

What was that alien dragon thinking?

Jesus in a spaceship man. You can't beat Jesus in a spaceship.

Well, maybe Motorboat Jesus

So, this is what happened to all the Xena / Lord Of The Rings costumes and props floating around New Zealand.

I hope there's a video game tie in... that would RULE!!!!!

Speaking as a boring old fart, this film intrigues me, and I will see it as soon as it's released.

Does this mean you're an alien dragon, 'cause, like, that's be wicked hot.

the dragon just looks like an alien. why couldn't they get a real space dragon like king Gedorah from the Godzilla movies. of coarse king Gedorah is a little fucking huge but Thor is supposed to kill the jormungandr, a Giant fucking serpent that wraps around the earth. have him take care of it!

FUCK YEAH!!!

Drake wins.

And this is like Philip K. Dick ate the Lankhmar books and took a crap, wiping his bum with a page of the Hobbit containing smaug. Despite blaspheming all books involved, my analogy sums up how awesome this movie will be.

Mine was better. You're wrong!

Yours was pretty good too. Admittedly. But Uwe Boll couldn't make this film on his best day.

Indeed. It looks awful.

Yep, I'll be going to see this one.

A new action flick not based on a video game/graphic novel/70's TV series/older action flick/book? Are you sure this isn't a hoax?

Heard and read about this movie last year. Jim Caveziel is the main dude....so yea...who said jesus couldn't slay some dragons?!
