Stop-motion whiz and NewsOK videographer Kyle Roberts is playing with action figures again! I love it when he does that!

Football season is almost here, and The Oklahoman and NewsOK are getting ready by launching the first football stop-motion animation to use action figures. Some of our super-talented folks here custom-painted several action figures and combined 3D and stop-motion animation to create these intros in honor of the new season.

The college football bliss begins Saturday when my Oklahoma State Cowboys take on the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns at 6 p.m. …

Boys. Beastie Boys.

Since my guys and I are big Beastie Boys fans, we were eager to see their new music video. As expected we’re liking the song, “Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win,” featuring the lovely Santigold, but we can’t help but think that they kind of stole the idea for this video from Kyle Roberts’ “Battle of the Bonds.”

-BAM…

Bond, James Bond, will be back on the big screen in 2012, EW.com has confirmed.

Financial tussling over the fate of MGM led the Broccoli family, who produces the Bond films, to stop development of the 23rd film in the long-running series last year. But the latest adventure for 007 – which has yet to get a title – is back on track with plans for a Nov. 9, 2012 release date.

Daniel Craig will return for his third run as the British superspy.

According to EW, the announcement from …

Director Guillermo del Toro this week left the planned two-film adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit” wandering aimlessly through Middle Earth, announcing that production delays have forced him to quit the planned prequel to New Zealand filmmaker Peter Jackson’s blockbuster trilogy “Lord of the Rings.”

“In light of ongoing delays in the setting of a start date for filming The Hobbit, I am faced with the hardest decision of my life,” del Toro told “Lord of the Rings” …
