OK, it's only Dave Foley making an appearance in this double feature promo for OFF ...styled like a chunk of 80s public access TV. Don't worry, the songs are still only 60 seconds each.

First Look: Pacific Rim/ Elysium

Twitch have got pics of Charlie Humman, Rinko Kikuchi and Idris Elba in Guillermo Del Toro's upcoming mecha-robots v monsters sci-fi Pacfic Rim; and a look at Matt Damon getting all Bruce Willis in Neill "District 9" Blomkamp's Elysium (a future where the rich live on a satellite orbiting Earth). Like the sound of both, intrigued to see what Del Toro does with a plot that sounds very close to late 70s/early 80s anime classic Gundam.
