Comic-Con Trailer Bonanza!

Although I didn’t go to San Diago Comic-Con (DragonCon is more my thing) I have certainly been enjoying the flood of trailers pouring out from the various studios. It’s impossible to say which of these movies I’m looking forward to more. I guess I’m looking forward to them all! “Suicide Squad”...

Doctor Who Video Montage

I just stumbled upon a really cool Doctor Who video montage. It’s worth checking out, if you’re a Doctor Who fan (though it probably won’t make sense if your not). There’s a whole series of these (and a few other shows mixed in too, like Sherlock) by TheGaroStudios. It’s worth...

Terran Trade Authority – Spacecraft 2000-2100 AD

I just ran across this amazing CGI animation by Adrian Mann of Stewart Cowley’s Spacecraft, 2000-2100 A.D sci-fi art book. I had this book as a kid, and it was absolutely amazing–a vision of mankind’s exploration of space in all its breathtaking wonder and grandeur. Although long out of print, you can still find...

DIY Thermite Launcher!

Check out this homemade thermite launcher! I’m sure it’s perfectly safe to use, though to be perfectly honest, I wouldn’t be wearing a tie while firing this thing. Oh, and, don’t try this at home…

Rogue One: A Teaser Trailer

The Star Wars: Rogue One teaser trailer is finally out and it is indescribably awesome! It is dripping with nostalgia, with an absolutely genuine Star Wars vibe. Forget the other prequels. This is the real prequel!
