One Step Closer

October 20, 2006 by Bartoneus

Step aside Lan, move over Harry Potter, and watch out Predator, here comes some real-life proof of the theory that things can be made invisible!  The technology hasn’t actually come up to this point yet, but about 5 months ago the team of scientists theorized that they could use a specific cloak to bend microwaves around […]

Inq. of the Week: In the Movies?

October 9, 2006 by Bartoneus

Everyone’s heard that Peter Jackson is making a Halo movie, that Quinten Tarantino is not making a Half Life movie (as of now), and that Uwe Boll is going to knock Postal and Farcry clear into the worst 100.  At least everyone would expect Postal to make a crappy movie no matter who directed it.  […]

The Future is Animated

September 22, 2006 by Dave

On the heels of the announcement that Futurama is coming back, there’s some more science fiction animation news. Andre 3000, whom you may know as half of Outkast, is getting his own show on cartoon network called “Class of 3000” that focuses on a class of school kids in the 2990’s, presumbly with Andrew voicing […]

Spike's Scream Awards

September 12, 2006 by Dave

I have mixed feelings about Spike as a network. Yes, there are multiple networks for women, and none other than Spike specifically “for men” except, you know, ESPN, Fox News, Cinemax, and, well, most of tv. On the flip side, Spike has Star Trek and Blade. Hmmm. All that aside, Spike has created their own […]

Inquisition of the Week: Religion?

September 11, 2006 by Bartoneus

Following older discussions about the differences between the Chronicles of Narnia and the Lord of the Rings book series, as well as a lot of the inevitable flak pertaining to the Left Behind RTS game, I ask you: Can Religion be a part of Games, Comics, and Movies?

YouTube of the Week: 'Nuff Said Edition

August 29, 2006 by Dave

(It’s a full pilot, around 20 minutes, so beware before you start watching. And it’s a shame this isn’t way better, since it features my three favorite comedians.)
