LEGO on TV and Film 2.0?

So on Sarah Connor Chronicles the 'John Henry' A.I. that Ellison talks to was playing with Bionicle and remarking about how much better ball and socket joints are then hinge joints. He mentioned the LEGO TOA by name and in full detail, you have to see it, it was very funny and kinda freaky...

Someone just asked about this.

But, I remember this discussion from the previous forum... http://fbtbforums.net/viewtopic.php?t=9860 So go on and continue. I know there has got to be more.

This past Friday's episode of T:SCC had "John Henry" playing with his Bionicle Toa again...perhaps, in a future episode he should play with the NXT sets and then go to work at LEGO in software development for LEGO NXT 3.0...

I was watching the making of South Park special tonight, "6 days to air" I think it was called, and there was a brief segment that showed Trey Parker with the Death Star playset "waiting to be built" he said, and he was holding one of the snowspeeders while talking about how it helps him to take his mind off writing the show. He also had a motorized AT-AT on the shelf. Pretty cool.

I don't know if the movie will be worth watching, but in this trailer for "Tower Heist" there is a scene where the main characters hatch a cunning plan using a replica of their would-be target made from LEGO bricks (starts at about 1:13).

Also mentioned this a while back in another thread, but in the Mighty Boosh episode "The Strange Tale of the Crack Fox," Vince sports a medallion made from what appears to be black and white LEGO plates.

Lego was briefly mentioned on the best thing NBC has going for it right now, "Community," last week. It's a short commentary on the evolution of Lego and not quite as funny as it could have been. Clip here.

Was channel surfing and happened upon the movie "beginners" on HBO. While pulling up the info to see what it was a classic red spaceman flashed on the screen! It was around 1:14:00 into the movie. Is there a thread to post sightings of Lego in TV and movies?
