A brand spanking new Japanese Watchmen trailer has arrived online, featuring a good chunk of fresh scenes not included in any of the other trailers or behind-the-scenes videos. Surprisingly, it’s heavy on the Nixon stuff for some reason while also highlighting Fidel Castro, JFK and the threat of nuclear war.

Aside from the actual speculated products, the big news surrounding the Apple Macworld keynote was that Steve Jobs would be out sick. But as I refreshed the Gizmodo liveblog, I wondered, did it matter?

There’s a brand spanking new Terminator: Salvation trailer arriving next week in front of The Day the Earth Stood Still, and Entertainment Tonight (along with director McG) will introduce it to the world next Tuesday on TV (we assume it will appear online at the same time).

Look, we know there’s nothing especially fresh about the New Super Mario Bros. DS Lite bundle that’s just been issued for the holidays, but we’re absolutely a sucker for anything red and stamped with a big M. We have to say, after struggling with the packaging (c’mon Nintendo, it took a knife and a pair of scissors), we were a little disappointed by the lack of style inside the box.

Here’s a beautiful, earth-friendly, waste-free wrapping alternative for your holiday gifts: ZenWraps. Based on the Japanese technique called furoshiki, these gorgeous, reusable, biodegradable fabric wraps (made with 100% organic cotton, hemp, or silk) make gift giving an eco-pleasure. The ZenWrap website provides simple online wrapping instructions, and there’s no tape, ribbon, or tools required.
