I found this just minutes after writing something about this presidential election seeming more like something from TV than something to be taken seriously. Kinda ironic… and very amusing.

If you're hanging out outside in the evening, two things are important to have: light and music. Well, and food and booze, but just work with me on this. This wireless outdoor speaker with a nightlight provides both of the aforementioned essentials. It's splash-proof, meaning it's durable enough to survive out in your yard with your drunk friends. You can hang it somewhere or attach the included spike and jam it into the ground. It ...

The ongoing legal battle over ownership of the Watchmen movie has taken another step closer to resolution with the federal judge in charge of the case telling both sides to prepare their cases for a January trial date ahead of the movie's planned release in March of next year. Does this mean that the judge wants to see the film released on time, or is just bored of the pre-trial shenanigans? We discuss, under the ...

As pilot Boris Vassilev directs his heavy-class 'Mech into the five-acre arena, the thundering footfalls are nearly drowned out by the crowd's roars of delight. Viewers in five systems are watching this live, as Boris prepares for a one-on-one battle against top-ranked pilot Inese Lassonde and her heavily modified Nova Cat. There's cash on the line, of course, but for both pilots, this battle means much more. Reputations are made and destroyed in these arenas. ...

Amidst wild rumors for Dark Knight 3's casting process (think Cher as Catwoman), actor Aaron "Two Face" Eckhart gave us some bat-closure on a few of the many bat-rumors. So are we going to see the former Gotham City DA's pretty deformed mug again? Dark Knight spoilers ahead. In a press conference Eckard was doing for Towelhead, the press tried to squeeze out a denial from the actor about whether his Dark Knight character is ...

The Republican Party is gathering in St. Paul, to put forth its vision of the future. And over the next few days, you'll be hearing a lot about the horrendous futures that could take shape if gormless liberals were allowed to run the show. Which makes us wonder: what does science fiction, the literature of the future, have to say about liberal-run dystopias? And it turns out, there are plenty of horrendous futures blighted by ...

One of the frustrating things about the Star Trek universe is that it stopped moving forward at some point. Deep Space Nine, the Next-Gen movies, and to some extent Voyager created a whole tapestry of stories about the Cardassians, the Romulans and the Borg. And then it all ends with Future Janeway smushing the Borg, and whatever it was that happened in Star Trek: Nemesis. After that, it's all just looking backward, with Enterprise and ...

Wal-Mart has posted a behind-the-scenes video peek into the bayotic world of Transformers: Rise Of The Fallen. True to Michael Bay form, lots of things go boom, and the director even has a pair of specially made Nike kicks which he called, "Bay-os, aka chaos, cause I'm going to beat up all your asses. Because I do like to shoot fast." Besides all of the ridiculous new bay-related neologisms, the screaming and running away scenes ...

Those are ice water clouds, swooshing overhead very much the way clouds do on Earth. Now you can picture what it would be like to be there with Phoenix, with wispy clouds drifting overhead as ...

This just in: Authorities in the UK found the movie adaptation of the comic Wanted to be "condon[ing] violence by glorifying or glamorising the use of guns," while at the same time failing to be offensive to the general public. That's the result of an investigation into the promotional posters for the movie by the British Advertising Standards Authority, following complaints from various UK citizens about the posters. But how did they swerve around the ...
