Amazing Spider-Man 2 Is A Decent Movie Smothered By Layers Of Crap

Amazing Spider-Man 2 feels like four or five movies jammed together. The good news is, two of those movies are really, really good. The bad news is, the bloat and extra subplots get in the way of the storytelling, and feel like harbingers of overstuffed superhero movies to come. Minor spoilers ahead… And by “minor,”…

How Would You Send A Ship Into Space Without Rocket Fuel?

In response to Russia’s rather unorthodox suggestion to NASA — that perhaps it could use giant trampolines in absence of Russia’s shuttle to get our astronauts up to the ISS — a more serious question arose: Could a ship really get into space without rocket fuel?

Something Weird Happens When Three Master Fencers Battle Fifty Novices

It doesn’t play out the way you probably think it does. It bears mentioning that this is not a no-holds-barred engagement. In modern fencing, a large portion of the body – sometimes the entire body – is a valid target; but in this exercise, the aim of expert and amateur alike is to puncture a…
