Someone built a Brawndo water fountain from Idiocracy

In Mike Judge’s 2006 comedy classic Idiocracy, civilization’s growing consumerism and dwindling intelligence have resulted in a planet of imbeciles. These morons solely refresh themselves and water their crops with a sports drink named Brawndo: The Thirst Mutilator. Decades of pouring neon electrolytes on America’s agricultural belt have resulted in a nationwide dust bowl, but…

Let’s write the sequel to Battleship based on some crap I found on my kitchen table

A few years back, moviegoers had a big belly laugh when they heard that a movie studio was immolating $200 million on an alien invasion flick based on the 1967 board game Battleship. “Haw haw!” we innocently guffawed. “Obligatory bon mot about red and white pegs! You sunk my battleship! Insert mock glee about cultural…

Chronicle‘s Josh Trank: Being able to tell a compelling story is the rarest special effect

Chronicle was one of the freshest movies we’ve seen this year so far, with its telekinetic teens going off the rails. This superpowered “found footage” movie comes out on DVD today, so we were excited to talk to director Josh Trank. https://gizmodo.com/chronicle-is-a-superhero-origin-story-done-right-5881894 And Trank told us that instead of trying to make a new spin…

Battleship: An Important Document in the Future Field of Peter David Novelization Studies

Peter David isn’t just a prolific contributor to comics, novels, television and various other media, he’s also a huge player in the field of movie novelizations.

A brilliant, satirical indie flick about the future of dead-end jobs

Last week marked the debut of Jim Munroe’s latest indie flick, Ghosts with Shit Jobs, at the Sci-Fi London Film Festival. It played to a rapturous, sold-out crowd, and for good reason: As one of the festival organizers said, it’s rare to see really smart, biting science fiction satire these days. Made for a budget…

How a newborn baby saved Toy Story 2 from being lost forever

When an accidental computer command starting wiping animation data from the drive where Toy Story 2’s files were kept, a year’s worth of work was erased in a matter of seconds. Under normal circumstances this wouldn’t have been an issue; Pixar maintains backups of all its films throughout the production process. But the backups for…

Just how much Alien stuff was there in Prometheus originally? A lot, says Damon Lindelof

Just how many elements of Alien were there in some earlier versions of the Prometheus script? Earlier this week, we talked to screenwriter Jon Spaihts, who says the basic storyline is the same but there’s “some truth” to the idea that his script started out as more of an Alien prequel than what Ridley Scott…

Quills: A Hollywood Homage to the Marquis de Sade

You know how that book The Fifty Shades of Grey is sending everyone into a sex-obsessed furor? So scandalous! Uh… a little late to the game, guys. In Quills (2000), Geoffrey Rush plays the Marquis de Sade, literature’s OG kinkster. The Marquis was locked up in a loony bin mental hospital—Charanton Insane Asylum—for no real…

Amazing Spider-Man concept art shows an uncomfortable amount of the Lizard’s anatomy

Brand new Lizard concept art from The Amazing Spider-Man is leaving almost nothing to the imagination. We kind of love that they didn’t give him tiny lizard shorts. He looks as though even his nasty bits have mutated up inside of him. He’s a real human lizard man now! In any case, check out some…

An amazing short film about a beetle with surreal chemical powers

Ken Robichaud has created these awesome, full-sized Avengers props in Lego: Thor’s Mjölnir, Captain America’s shield, Hawkeye’s bow and arrows and the Black Widow’s thingamajigs.

Pentagon Quit The Avengers Because of Its ‘Unreality’

The Pentagon halted its cooperation with Marvel Studios’ blockbuster movie The Avengers because the Defense Department didn’t think a movie about superheroes, Norse Gods and intergalactic invasions was sufficiently realistic in its treatment of military bureaucracy.
