The Sexpocalypse That is The CW’s Beauty and the Beast

The CW’s Beauty and the Beast is a masterpiece of the art of sexy sex. Everything on this show was “sexy.” At first we thought this was just a lark — but when The CW starts rolling out the pursed-lipped hospital ID cards, and sexy daylight streaming police offices, on top of sexy ladies fight-moaning…

The cast of Silent Hill: Revelation 3D took the stage at New York Comic-Con with actors Kit Harington (aka Jon Snow) and Adelaide Clemens along with their director Michael J. Bassett.

Dear Last Resort: You can’t turn mass murder into a minor subplot

The people in Landes, in the pre-1900s, had a problem. Their land was swampy and uneven, and they were too poor and too remote for anyone to bother putting in roads. They had to get around someway, and they way they figured out their situation gives me hope for whimsy on other planets. When we…

What happened to Rory’s dad after the latest Doctor Who episode?

One of the biggest loose ends at the end of Doctor Who’s midseason finale was, “What about Brian Williams?” We got to know Rory’s dad quite a bit in “Dinosaurs on a Spaceship” and “The Power of Three,” and then we didn’t get to see his reaction to Rory’s fate in “Angels.” Turns out Chris…

Atlas Shrugged 2: The Wrath of Keynes!

The second installment of the Atlas Shrugged movie trilogy is out today, just a few weeks before the presidential election. And in the proud tradition of sequels, this film ramps up the action.

Watch Rian Johnson’s somewhat darker pitch reel for Looper

Before Looper was blasting buckshots into time traveling mob victims, it was just an idea in the head of Rian Johnson.

Everyone has a hobby. For Florida resident Ronald Eugene Robinson, that hobby used to involve going to his local CVS, buying a six-pack of enemas, using those enemas, carefully re-sealing said enemas in their original packaging, and then returning them “unopen and unused” to the CVS from whence they came. Robinson is believed to have…

The mysterious icy figures who haunt the Andes

These mysterious ice figures form only at high altitudes, and only under very specific conditions. In the Andes, they’re called “penitentes,” and fields of them can stretch for miles. If you’re an astronomer (as no doubt many of you will be) and walking through the high terrain in the Andes (as hardly anyone can avoid),…

Probe data reveals a surface on Titan that’s soft, sandy, and fragile

Even though the Huygens probe landed on Titan back in 2005 and transmitted data for only about 90 minutes after touchdown, scientists have still been able to eke out information about Titan from the mission, squeezing all they can from the data. The latest information comes from reconstructing the way the probe landed — and…
