As a kid, my favorite movies were the ones that had so much going on at once, I was impossible to look away. When I first saw the Star Wars Trilogy, all the phaser cannons and light sabers glued my eyes to the screen. I didn't even want to look down to grab my soda. My hand would wander around the cup holder until I felt the cold cardboard. This resulted in a lot of spilled drinks. I am the

So I've been bouncing ideas off of my co-workers relating to my script. The story involves 3 college friends who meet up for a little bit of a wild weekend and run into some trouble with some dangerous people.Initially, I had one of these guys being in a relationship, only acknowledging the girlfriend character through shot stints of him talking to her on the phone - since she wasn't a part of

So here's what I've been up to:* I tried to join a branch of the armed forces, and was rejected due to some poor past decisions and some health issues.* I got a new job working in a bakery (I know, sounds

Apparently Warner Brothers put up one for "Get Smart" too, but it's only available on iTunes... plus I'm nowhere near as stoked about that flick as I am about the car-flipping and bullet-curving glory that "Wanted" has to offer.

A new program of pavement trickery called "Drive CarePhilly" is being put into practice in... well, Philly. Around 100 intersections will be stuck with 3D decals that they think will fool drivers into thinking there's chalky-looking speed-bumps in the road. They probably already realize that people are going to get used to this and in a year, the only purpose it'll have will be to play pranks on

I ran across this web page that claims to be able to teach you how to turn your car into a water powered vehicle or a water/gasoline hybrid. Can anyone give me any insight into this?

In Tibet, there are two ways to cook your food: an open fire fueled by yak dung or wood (which isn't exactly easy to obtain); or solar cookers, which consist of two-inch-thick concrete covered with tiny glass mirrors.Fire produces lots of smoke that leads to lung disease in people who do most of their cooking indoors. Solar cookers are much cleaner, but are so heavy that they need 4 people just

I know this is the third post about WALL-E in like 3 days, but I who can blame me? This film looks like tons of fun. If it's half as good as Finding Nemo... ah, whatever. I'm a Pixar fanboy. Take a looksy at Stanton's insight [ComingSoon.net] into the new movie. Especially how he pinned down WALL-E's language with beeps and squawks.

After all the rumors and outrage at Konami for making reviewers sign an agreement to not talk about MGS4's cut-scenes and install times.

Jay and Seth vs. the Apocalypse that will begin production in 2009. The movie is based on a short that Rogen and writing partner Evan Goldberg created last year. It's about two losers who have to deal with the apocalypse and, after being cooped up for too long, not killing each other. Oh, and there's something about giant monsters taking over the planet.The trailer is getting a lot of hype though

Part of it's insides comes directly out of the Playstation 3.This (world's fastest?) computer contains 116,640 processor cores, with 12,960 chips that are an improved version of the Cell processor

This is what Terrence Howard to Military.com. Marvel has already claimed April 30, 2010 as the release date, so that leaves a little over a year to get it done.Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jon Favreau are all expected to return, but don't forget you can also catch a Tony Stark Cameo in The Incredible Hulk, which hits theaters this Friday.

This is a giant beer syringe. You two should get to know each other.The Bierstick is supposed to give 24 ounces of beer in less than two seconds. Your throat won't be happy with you, but you don't have to pay attention to it. 'Cause after a 3 or 4 rounds, you won't feel it anymore. It's FDA approved for bachelor parties and will probably be used for Hop Skip and Jungle Juice as much as beer. At a

There's a pretty long clip for Pixar's WALL-E over at Slash Film. It was shown when ABC aired Finding Nemo, but if you missed it then, here's another shot. The scene has Eve trying to put WALL-E on an escape pod aimed at Earth, but some interference sends him out with a bang.New clip.

Another fancy gadget gets released to prey on the sun, hippies rejoice. The Eclipse Intuit, (which appears to be an iPhone with a pullout keypad) would include a 5 megapixel camera with it's own photo editing software, a large touchscreen, and an ultra thin solar skin that would charge the batteries.This probably wouldn't serve me much purpose since my phone, when not in use, lives in my pocket

For those of you who have big-ass flat screen TVs but don't want them to distract from your tasteful Monet print, VisionArt's got your back... I can totally relate.They offer classy units alongside Triad speakers that include front left, center and right channel speakers underneath your flat-panel television.

It seems like not so long ago that Spider-Man 4 was a lost cause. None of the actors or the director seemed to want anything to do with it. But the word keeps changing, and quickly. I don't know if I would really want to see another wall-crawler flick anytime soon.But for the time being, Sam Raimi is down for it. He spoke with ComingSoon.net about possibly helming the next sequel. "James

Kevin Smith put up a gut-busting teaser trailer a few days ago for his next flick "Zack and Miri Make a Porno.' In doing so, he bunched some panties over at the MPAA and they forced him to take it down. I thought, probably like most of you, that this is bull and the MPAA doesn't or shouldn't have this kind of power. But Smith said on his News Askew website that the reason is "Weinstein Co. (like

According to Starpulse, Christian Bale was almost chopped up by a descending helicopter that narrowly missed him on the set of The Dark Knight.

According to Gizmodo, Verizon Wireless is going to pony up $6 billion to buy Alltel, which has about 13 million customers. That puts Verizon at around 80 million, throwing the previous champ (AT&T with a last-reported 71 million customers) out of the arm-wrestling match. Alltel and Verizon already share the same wireless technology, but Alltel caters to some rural areas Verizon has yet to explore

Jack Thompson, an anti-gaming attorney representing the families of two police officers and a police dispatcher slain by 18-year-old Grand Theft Auto player Devin Moore, decided to walk out on his own disbarment hearing today before it concluded.

In the past few weeks, two surfers were killed and one injured by shark attacks off of Mexico's Pacific coast. To prevent any more uninvited trouble, biologists are going to tag hundreds of sharks in the area. The study will begin in about two months and last about a year.

The new drug combination should reduce their cravings without getting them high.On Wednesday, Embera NeuroTherapeutics announced the first clinical trial for a treatment that combines tranquilizers with a medicine that

Last month an Intel saleswoman tried to persuade a Peruvian official to drop the country’s commitment to buy a quarter-million of the One Laptop Per Child's laptops and, instead buy Intel PCs. Intel and the OLPC haven't really ever had a smooth partnership, but this incident was apparently the last straw for Nicholas Negroponte (OLPC's founder). He demanded that Intel stop selling their rival

A patent filing on July 3, 2006 may foreshadow the next big thing from Apple: an ultra-mobile Macintosh. The patent filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office defines "a docking area configured to receive a portable computer."Nice.It's also supposed to enable the mystery device to communicate with the docking station using Bluetooth and IEEE 80.2.11 wireless connections.Nicer.Rumors about

Dell is known for simplifying PCs and the supply chain beginning 23 years ago. What they're not known for is sleek, beautiful designs like this one.Glass and metal in all the right places is a refreshing change of pace from a company that's been more about bottom-line discount computers and basic needs hardware. The Crystal may be a step in the right direction to put Dell back into contending

Apparently Brit refuses to be out done by her little sis and will just not leave her pop-culture limelight. This may be the biggest and best (?) Britney incident yet. Earlier today, police showed up and took Spears' children, who were supposed to be staying with their father, after she refused to give them up. Well at least she's kind of acting like a real mommy. But the crown jewel of this story

At first glance, these toys looks like run-of-the-mill knockoffs of your favorite gadgets. But they've got a surprise for you. They're practical jokes disguised as expensive toys, that give off an electronic charge at the press of a button. I guess our generation never really grew up, we just give old-fashioned favorites a face-lift. Available in PSP, iPod, and laser-pointer models. The

So far, the add campaign for Cloverfield has been brief and online only. But here we are, less than a month until this epic monster-movie launches and we finally have trailers... on broadcast television! Who would have thought? BTW, J.J. Abrams must be a pretty smart fella, due to the fact that the monster is still a secret. It's about times someone plugged up the leaks in Hollywood gossip.

So here's a new concept: make a balloon, put a fan on the outside and a turbine on the inside, raise it to 1000 ft. elevation (where the wind never stops blowing), and use it to avoid paying for electricity ever again.Sound simple? Well it's not that simple.This contraption, invented by Fred Furgeson (you can google him at the lower-left side of this page:), the Magenn Power Air Rotor System's (

The New York Times' recent look at big ideas of 2007 noted a particular way to to get hammered. By eating a pickle. Dave Arnold, who head's culinary technology at the French Culinary Institute, has created a crunchy martini by soaking peeled cucumbers in gin and vermouth instead of using the more outdated salt and brine approach. After plunging this tailgate-friendly treat into a Mason jar with

The debate between the two systems has gotten out of hand. Spamming and obscene messages across gaming sites, social networking sites, bogging sites (you name it), in the name of one console or the other is almost unavoidable. The fact of the matter is that both the PS3 and the Xbox 360 are impressive. Graphics, loading speed, sound, data size.. all of these aspects have been improved on

I was just looking at some of the targeted Adsense links to the left. One of them is for buying World of Warcraft Gold.. !? Would any of you pay real dollars (or whichever currency you country uses) for some digital yellow circles in a game that allows you to find and earn your own. You guys are smarter than that.. right?

Raydiance is a startup business that uses Ultrashort Pulse (USP) technology in all kinds of fields.

The pulsing laser technology Raydiance uses doesn't create any heat and specifically destroys whatever kind of cells or atoms the user wants to target. This technology

Since the Xbox 360 was released so much earlier than the competing next-generation consoles, it boasts a much larger library of games. This makes choosing a winner obscenely difficult. The console focuses largely on adult-oriented games with foul language, violence, and situations little Billy just isn't ready for yet. With that in mind, I believe the best game for the Xbox 360 is one that takes

After a great birthday weekend (I turned 23), I got home and realized that the sweet new Xbox 360 I got had nothing but a sub-par comic-book game and Forza 2 to run on it. Don't get me wrong, these games probably have their rightful place in the multi-billion dollar video game industry, but for the life of me I just can't find it. Anywho, after figuring out how to bridge my laptop wireless

In regards to the Paris Hilton jail sentence for driving without a license, Jane Fonda passed on some words of wisdom in regards to the spoiled heiress and her lawlessness. "I'm glad she is going to do the time. If she were black, if she were poor, she would have done it much sooner," she stated on Larry King's talk show last night. Let me thank Mrs. Fonda now for regurgitating what everybody's

After seeing the ultra-hyped web crawler flick, SpiderMan 3 that hit theaters Friday, there's still only one thing you can say about our homeboy, Peter Parker: for a super hero, he's not that super.And apparently Hollywood has known all along the book-worm types are the ones you gotta watch for.
