Love for fashion and the need to look good all the time is almost a disease these days. It manifests itself in the strangest ways, but this time, I kind of agree with it. Aviator sunglasses are my favorites and the idea to replace the ugly and incredibly uncomfortable ordinary 3D glasses with ones shaped like them is pretty cool!
I know it’s dark and people can’t see you, but sometimes we need to look good for our self esteem. Period. So the vote has been cast: we like 3D Aviator Glasses!

In a few short months, the new Star Trek movie will be in cinemas and Trekkies will flock to see the new Spock, Kirk and McCoy.
But in the meantime all fans need to keep busy with something, and the 20 Questions Star Trek Game is bound to provide entertainment as well as welcome reminders of the series.
The game comes with info about the Trek movies and TV shows and is a bit different from the classic game in the sense that it has two extra possible answers: “unknown” or “sometimes”. There’s also an “undo” button allowing you to change your mind, although I don’t really see the point of that.
And in the end, when you’re gone through all possible characters and planets, you’ll be left with a nice desk ornament too, which is more that can be said of most games.

Halloween’s 8 months away, but I already found the perfect costume.
With a bit of creative make-up and the proper clothes, the Terminator Salvation Exoskeleton Patches can turn a person into a real-life robot from the future set on destroying humanity… or at least on getting some candy. Do you think you’ve got what it takes? (Hint: you’ll have to do better than the kid in the picture.)
The patches are available for preorder already and will start shipping this month, which means hardcore fans can get them in time for the movie launch. A complete coincidence of course, there aren’t any super fans who’d want to go to the cinema dressed up as the Terminator… *ahem*

Still eagerly waiting for Watchmen? Well, bad news: they’re replaced all the actors with 8-bit ghosts are yellow circles. The Who Pacs The Pacmen? t-shirt is the first official merchandise to be released.
You know you want to wear it on opening night… While everyone else will be wearing clothes with fancy Latin lines about custodes, show the world a little humor. Quis pacet ipsos pacmen?

If you’ve not been living under an entertainment rock for the past few months, you know that the Watchmen movie is coming. And in case you don’t know what the big deal is, you should learn that Watchmen is a hugely successful comic book series (with a lot of fans).
And what do fans do? Look for related merchandise, of course, and the Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes t-shirt is a good candidate for “best Watchmen apparel”. The Latin phrase is, of course, the origin of the comics’ title, and it translates to “Who watches the watchmen”.
The t-shirt even matches the colors of the book cover – you’d recognize that black and yellow anywhere. Not to mention it makes the wearer look smart (look, a foreign language!).

Those names t-shirts are the trendy thing to wear nowadays. List 4 or 5 names from a series, TV show or sports team and watch as people in the know smile at you.
The Lost Numbers t-shirt uses the same concept, only it doesn’t have names. Instead, it features our friends 6-8-15-16-23-42.
The new season’s just started, so this is the time to get together with fellow fans and discuss important matters like how hot Sawyer is without his shirt and how Kate can keep that beautiful hair looking flawless in the jungle.
(If you’re into the name thing really bad, there’s two or three other models with actual names of the characters on the website.)

Do you have a kid who loves Star Wars? Even The Clone Wars? Or, even better, do you have two children who do?
In that case, you’re in luck. The Clone Trooper Walkie Talkie Watches are ready for preorder and will ship in March, to the joy of all the young ones and the horror of parents who will listen to yelled conversations through bad speakers.
Just… you know. Good at 8 years old, but a horrible idea at 13. It sounds like fun, but the design is horrible and no teenager will be caught dead with one.

Too much violence or not, Reservoir Dogs is a part of movie history and a cult film, and it brought that Tarantino guy – you might have heard of him – to the public’s attention.
Fittingly, this souvenir features the one character that might have survived. The Mr Pink Leather Wallet is embossed with a famous image from the movie and this well-known line: “You’re acting like a first-year thief, I’m acting like a professional.”

What will the George Lucas empire think of selling next? You wouldn’t have guessed it, but… Star Wars Misters.
They’re sort of cool and sort of useful, but the combination is still weird. Not that anyone would object – collectors need anything, no matter how silly – but who else will want one? Yes, having a fan to blow cool mist on your face is great in summer, but why pay almost $20 for Yoda’s head when you can get a regular one for a fraction of the price?
Anyway, for the Star Wars fans out there: they come in three models, Yoda, Boba Fett and Vader, and, uh, have pretty colors. Not much else to add, really.
