Considering this thing will contain "every conceivable luxury," fording the river seems a little dangerous. I wouldn't want to ruin those gorgeous hardwood floors, the motorized beds, or all the wine I'd have stored in this thing's wine cabinet. Yeah, I'd probably float it.

And c'mon Axel Enthoven. You say you took your design cues from the Sydney Opera House, but we all know you're just trying to live your grade school dream: taking a covered wagon across the Oregon Trail. In style. [Axel Enthoven via Dezeen, Likecool via Dvice]

When you buy a house, one of the first things you realize is how useful owning a truck can be. The Tow-n-Stow serves a similar purpose, but it appears to be manageable enough to be towed by a car. Plus, you don't have to store it outside—just stand it up and use it as a storage unit in the garage. Taking all of the stuff off of it to convert it back into a trailer is probably a pain in the ass, but that's a small price to pay for the versatility. However, I can't say the same for the outrageous $2495 price tag. [Tow-n-Stow via Red Ferret via Coolbuzz]

Obviously, the short glimpse of the movie featured here raises a few questions. Will it be better than Speed Racer? Will it retain the psychological, nuclear-age vibe of the original series? Will Nicolas Cage be less annoying voice-only? These questions and more should be answered in October. [Boing Boing Gadgets]

I just can't wait for this magnum opus to be released in June 26, because that will mean I will be on my way to sun, sailing, and endless summer nights in Sweden, thank you very much. Not even having Turturro will make me sit down through two hours of Shia LeBeef. [Trailer Addict via Jalopnik]

Jason Statham has one hour to live in this exclusive spot that can only be found at io9 right now…and it looks like he'll rub up against anything to stay alive.

I am so ready for Crank High Voltage to come out, we desperately need more Chev. I especially enjoyed the moment where our dear anti-hero is getting tasered by a group of cops and then proceeds to take down all five of them in one swift movement. Or is it Bai Ling running around in a bikini with guns? No, it's definitely getting glimpse of what I'm hoping is another segment of gettin' busy in public with the delightfully dirty Amy Smart.

Crank High Voltage opens April 17th.

It's a little puzzling as to how something like this could find its way to a derelict desert in the middle of nowhere, but with NASA's budgetary fluctuations, I guess sometimes you have to rip and run. The whole thing has a definite abandoned-seconds-before-the-apocalypse kind of vibe.

If anyone has any idea what kind of machines we're seeing here, fill me in. More pics: [Richard Harrington via FFFFOUND]

There's a certain truth to that, as evidenced by this clip from the Iron Man movie where Tony takes his first flight in a medieval knight-inspired suit. However, if you look at the HUD that the suit throws in his face, you can tell that flying around isn't quite as simple as pointing your hands and feet in the same direction and praying you don't poop your pants this time. You'll have to have at least played Microsoft Flight Simulator or Ace Combat 6. [Apple Trailers]

Steampunkish? You bet. Still, I bet he can kick Hulk's ass. At least for two minutes. Iron Monger, un cappuccino, prego? [io9 and Toysrevil]

We're not sure what engine this is using (Wikipedia says it uses Unreal 2.0), but whatever it is, it's been changed a bunch of times, including the Unreal 1 engine for a time. Did you know that the top of the line gaming PC back when it was supposed to be released was a Pentium II? And it probably would have run on an NVIDIA TNT? Jeez. [Shacknews]

If we get to look at her every week, this show has potential.
