New Avengers Trailer

Happy Leap Day everybody!

See Worf's ideas get shot down... for FIFTEEN MINUTES.

It's a little hard to sit through the whole thing, but you get the idea. For a Klingon, Worf sure lets everyone walk all over him.

From Space.com: Playboy and Virgin Galactic Dream Up Cosmic Men's Space Club

Playboy is about to launch into the final frontier, at least in its imagination.

The iconic adult-magazine company has dreamed up a vision of a Playboy Club in space — a sprawling sci-fi-inspired depiction of fun and games on a huge private space station – in conjunction with the space tourism company Virgin Galactic. The results appear in the March issue of Playboy magazine on newsstands now.

A zero-gravity dance club, a casino featuring "human roulette" and a restaurant for fine dining are just some of the amenities envisioned by artist Thomas Tenery and released by Playboy Tuesday (Feb. 22). The magazine worked with several futurists and scientists, including Virgin Galactic head designer Adam Wells, to illustrate the potential space Playboy Club.

"As Virgin Galactic gets closer to becoming the world's first commercial space line, Playboy is eagerly pondering the creation of the ultimate intergalactic entertainment destination," Playboy editorial director Jimmy Jellinek said in a statement.  "This heaven-in-the-heavens will exceed starry-eyed travelers' wildest dreams, and guests will truly experience a party that's out of this world."

Room 237 Documentary

Have you guys heard about this documentary? It examines all the wack-a-doo theories about hidden meanings buried in "The Shining." But then again, who am I to say they're wack-a-doo? I don't know that I believe Kubrick put hidden messages about the faked moon landing or the Holocaust into the movie, but I do appreciate that he leaves his movies open ended enough for these kind of interpretations and analysis.

Anyway, it's playing at a festival in New York soon before getting a actual release - Morgan, if the planets align would you be interested in seeing this with me?

Here is the NY Times write-up.





And just for good measure, here is one of those wack-a-doo theories. Again, don't know that I buy it, but I like how much attention this guy is paying to the details. The thing about the blue scarf in "2001" blew my mind.

An excerpt from a great article about Zelda, how it needs to change and where it went wrong.

 zelda-just-keeps-getting-worse-but-it-isnt-beyond-saving

'This world, dangerous, demanding exploration, must also be mysterious. This means: illegible, at least at first. Zelda needs new unstated rules, ones that must be relearned, even by Zelda veterans like myself. How can you truly explore if you know how everything works already? How can you ever be surprised if every ‘secret' is conspicuously marked as such? Hyrule needs space to breathe, fields of purposeless grandeur (like Shadow of the Colossus), where secrets could be anywhere because they're not obviously right there. What is an adventure if not a journey through an unknown landscape? It's not a retread across familiar ground, the car ride to work, the province of sleepwalkers. '
