    Famous Movie Scenes Recreated With Star Wars Toys

    The only one I couldn't get was the Godfather one, because it looks more like the stormtrooper is punching Vader in the face rather than telling him something in confidence.

    Scientists: Time-Travelling Quantum Computer Will Have Been Solving Everything

    Not to harp on you or claim any greater knowledge than you attest to having in the article, but the correct term is entanglement. I have never heard it called entangling.

    FBI Traces Hateful Eight Screener Leak to Point Break Producer

    I wanted to make you aware that the reason Hateful Eight is only playing at 2 theaters in Denver is because this is a special roadshow screening of real 70mm film prints. The Weinstein Company actually bought up as many 70mm projectors as they could find and refurbished them so they could offer...

    Kingdom Hearts III Revealed With An Epic Troll

    If they really wanted to mess with people, that mobile game trailer would have been a gag trailer for a new Android/iOS title called "Kingdom Hearts All The Bravest". Show FFATB footage with the sprites palette-swapped for KH characters, and just when the crowd gets loud and rowdy, drop the...

    NASA, European Space Agency Prepping Asteroid Deflection Test for 2022

    Prepare to be even more paranoid, Stew. Growing up in rural Quebec, you probably lived no more than 700 km away from Sudbury, Lake Manicouagan, and Charlevoix, which are the 2nd, 7th and 12th largest impact craters ever found, respectively.

    Super Troopers 2 is Finally Happening, Thanks to Crowdfunding

    Proud to say that I went to watch the first one opening weekend and dragged about 5 of my college buddies with me who weren't convinced. They all had a blast and thanked me for forcing them to go. Glad to hear there will be a new one, I have enjoyed most of what these guys have done.

    Why There Is No Future For Old Games

    Speaking of driver layer problems, I recently tried to resurrect my old PC copies of Splinter Cell and SC: Chaos Theory, and was displeased to find that while both ran and played ok, the projection lighting system, especially in the first game, was totally fucked on newer hardware. The lighting...

    Are Explosions Art? Check Out The Just Cause 3 Trailer

    This feels like they took equal parts Bond intro, True Detective opening credits and the "Mad World" trailer for Gears of War and stewed them in a big pot until cooked to perfection. Delicious.

    The Witcher 3's Sex Scenes Came From 16 Hours of Mo-Cap Data - Update

    I'm picturing 16 hours of that one scene from Holy Motors.

    Peggy Carter's Back (And Throwing Punches) in Agent Carter

    Of course you're going to get 1 or 2 MRA shitheads pipe up on anything even tangentially related to feminism, although this one is a little more repulsive than the average as he seems to be anti-gay rights and anti-affirmative action as well. As if progressivism is responsible for all the...

    "Franken-Film" Accidental Love Actually Gets Trailer

    Actually there are a few real people with that name, including a deceased American artist and a current sitting senator up here in Canada. However you are correct, in this case it is a pseudonym used for a film when its real director refuses to have his name credited because of various reasons...

    3 Reasons Soccer Ball Droid BB-8 Is an Inferior Design to R2-D2

    I feel the need to pick a nit. While you're correct that the reason off-roaders let air out of their tires is so that they don't sink into the mud (as well as reducing the likelihood of a puncture while traversing sharp rocks), the contention that increasing the surface area of contact makes no...

    Marvel Has Fantastic Four Reboot Cast Killed... In a Comic

    I noticed this too. It seems like the explosions are taking place in buildings all around them. However, they are clearly alive and well in panel 4. Sue does get cut off mid-sentence, but that could just be by Johnny's arrival in the next panel. So unless there is a 5th panel he didn't post...
