Tron: Legacy Fan Made Trailer Gets High Praise From Films Producer

It’s one thing to cut together your own fan made trailer for a movie, it’s a whole different ball game when you make a Tron: Legacy trailer that’s so good that even the films producer Sean Bailey praises your awesome work. The clip, named “Rerezzed” was actually made before the “Derezzed” trailer came out, a point the creator makes sure to highlight. Pay close attention to how well the trailer’s movement sync’s with Glitch mob’s “Animus Vox” almost as if they are working in tandem with one another: Read more »

7 Unique and Limited Edition USB Drives

I like stuff that is not mass fabricated. Considering that thousands, even millions of people have the same phone, shoes, computer, etc. that I have, I like owning stuff almost no one has. With this thought in mind I searched for USB drives that are not mass fabricated and are truly unique in their design. They might be pricey but they sure look a lot better then your old boring standard USB stick. Read more »

Mark Wahlberg Cast as Uncharted’s Nathan Drake

Color me disappointed. After a long and colorful campaign by Firefly‘s Nathan Fillion to star in the big-screen adaptation of the hit PlayStation game series Uncharted, the role has instead gone to Mark Wahlberg. My reaction: Meh. Fillion, better known to fans as Firefly/Serenity‘s Captain Malcolm “Tight Pants” Reynolds, among his numerous other genre roles, could not be more perfect for the role. He has just the right combination of comedic delivery and action-hero savvy that the character calls for. Plus, he actually resembles the video game character! (He’s even got video game experience, having voiced characters in multiple Halo games.) Fillion was born to play this part. But instead, Read more »

Aliens: TRONitized

Made as part of a contest for Aint it Cool News’ Butt-Numb-A-Thon 12, Benni Diez of Cologne, Germany created this bad boy.

Spider-Man Turn Off The Dark Preview Night Falls Apart

I’ve been bitching and moaning about Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark, the Spidey musical from U2 founders Bono and The Edge for the last month, mostly due to a bad first song preview and costume designs that left me baffled. Well if the very expensive to produce Broadway show ends up at all like the first preview night the rumors and my assertions were definitely warranted. The NY Post and NY Times attended the show and here are just a few of the issues they witnessed: NY POST: The show had to be stopped four times in the first act alone for various snags. NY POST: As the character [Arachne], Read more »

MS Girls

Are you a Gundam fan? Do you like anime girls? Have you ever wondered what a Mobile Suit Girl would look like? No, I’m not talking about the likes of Lacus Clyne or those female pilots that never seem to die, but an actual MS Girl. Imagine if you could combine the coolness of a giant robot with the cuteness of an anime girl, you’d end up with something pretty amazing, in more ways than one. Luckily for those of us that lack any imagination, there are already tons of MS Girls out there that have been drawn up from the imaginations of various artists. Mobile suits are already in Read more »
