Disney Buys Lucasfilm
Holy mother of Vader, Disney has just acquired Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion! Apparently, Disney is also going to make a 7th film for release in 2015, with more films to follow every 2 to 3 years. Here’s a video interview: I guess we’ll just wait and see where this is...
Joss Whedon on Romney
Still not sure who to vote for? Perhaps director Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, and directory of Marvel’s Avengers, can offer you some sagely advice.
Samuel L. Jackson: Wake Up and Vote
I normally shy away from posting on political topics, but this one is just too good to pass up. Samuel L. Jackson himself has a few choice words about this coming election — and be warned, he does use that one word for which he is most famous. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=actzXt2BYe4

Dragon*Con 2012 Parade

Dragon*Con 2012!

Dragon*Con is one of North America’s biggest sci-fi/fantasy conventions, and I think there were somewhere around 45,000 people there this year (though I swear it felt more like 45,008). I can’t even begin to name the guests who attend,...
Rolling in the Higgs
Well, here’s a really geeky music video parody of Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep” called “Rolling in the Higgs”, sung in a cappella by physics student Tim Blair of A Capella Science. Check it out! There’s a collider under Geneva Reaching new energies that we’ve never achieved before Finally we can...
The Star Wars That I Used To Know
This well-executed parody of Gotye’s popular song “Somebody that I used to Know” pretty much sums up my feelings of the Star Wars prequels and the “re-masterings” of the original films. If only Mr. Lucas could find it in his cold, calloused heart to release the original theatrical versions on...
The Future is Ours
The news today is rife with stories of heartbreaking tragedy and unrelenting terror, gloomy outlooks and pessimistic forecasts. But as Peter Diamandis points out in his recent TEDTalk, the media caters directly to our amygdala, giving us more pessimistic news than optimistic news. The reality is, we live in a world...
