Babylon A.D. (2008)

Excerpt:

Wow. Can’t believe I made it through this whole movie. It plays as though the director was taking notes while watching cable one night, flipping back and forth between Serenity, The Fifth Element, Children of Men, and The Transporter. In my scenario, he then fed his notes into Final Draft, looked in a mirror and [...]

Pointing to the future of UI by John Underkoffler (via TED.com)

Excerpt:

You’ve seen the movie-version of Philip K. Dick‘s Minority Report, right? You remember those goofy-looking hand gestures Tom Cruise made while interacting with the computers of the future, right? Those gestures have been the source of many jokes between UI/UX experts, but yesterday I found out they were nothing to laugh about. Those gestures were [...]

Adam Savage: my Blade Runner gun – Boing Boing

Excerpt:

Adam Savage (of Mythbusters) briefly chronicles (with lots of pictures) his long love affair with the gun from Blade Runner. A passion I share, but only ever attempted to execute once with LEGO many, many years ago. Awesome. Adam Savage: my Blade Runner gun – Boing Boing

Movie Review: Avatar (2009)

Excerpt:

I was super-reluctant to give in to the hype and see this movie, but I was very glad that I did give in when my brother asked me to go see it with him. I was pretty disappointed by Titanic, but it was nice to know that the man behind Aliens and Terminator still knows [...]

Sci-fi concept art: Spaceships (via FusionFilter.com)

Excerpt:

Sci-fi concept art is a guilty pleasure of mine: It depicts a future that will never come…or, if it does, I will never live long enough to see it. Enjoy!! BEST OF CONCEPT SHIPS (via FusionFilter.com)

Year 2010 becoming reality

Excerpt:

The year 2010 (not to be confused with the movie 2010 (1984)) is slowly, but surely becoming a reality. Everyday I hear of something scheduled to happen in 2010, and it adds a tiny bit of mass to the foggy concept in my mind of just what 2010 might be.

Rereading William Gibson

Excerpt:

Tried to get Mary interested in Neuromancer, but it wasn’t her cup of tea. I delved back into Count Zero because I’d reread Neuromancer not too long ago, and hadn’t finished out the trilogy that second time. Never read them in the right order in the first place anyway. Count Zero surprised me. Made me [...]

Iron Man earned universal praise, now bring on the backlash!

Excerpt:

How great a thing looks depends on the viewer’s perspective, and Jon Favreau‘s Iron Man movie is no exception. If you’re expecting a serious, gritty take on a tormented anti-hero like Batman Begins you will be disappointed. If your benchmarks are the cartoonish and sloppy Fantastic Four movies you will want Iron Man given an [...]

‘Wanderlust,’ Björk’s New 3-D Video

Excerpt:

Wired.com has exclusive access to Björk’s new 3-D music video Wanderlust. [CAREFUL!!! The download is huge and begins once you load the page!] It is your classic style of 3-D filmmaking, so red and blue glasses are required. If you don’t have 3-D glasses lying around your place (I didn’t either, but I had blue [...]

Awesome new production stills from Watchmen

Excerpt:

From the new stills on its IMDb page, it looks like Watchmen (2009) will truly capture the atmosphere of the graphic novel (or comic book miniseries, depending on when you read it). The street scenes are dressed to reflect the era and location in which the story takes place; New York City, 1985. You may [...]
