Wanted’s Millar Reveals Ending Of His “Epic” Superman Movie Pitch

For years now, Wanted and Kick Ass writer Mark Millar has talked about his epic idea for a relaunch of the Superman franchise – whether it be comic or movie. Now, finally, he’s started talking specifics about how he’d save Superman from the movie scrapheap. And we’re not exactly convinced. Does anyone really want to…

Eleventh Hour Once Again Revels in Torturing Teenagers

I Hate When The Smart Chick Turns Into A Fish Woman

Could A Sound Of Thunder be the worst time-travel movie ever? Loosely (very loosely) based on a Ray Bradbury story, Thunder tells what happens when time-traveling dinosaur-safari tourists accidentally step on a butterfly 65 million years ago. Yes, really. A butterfly. The resulting changes to the time stream happen in “waves,” which leave structures in…

The Hills Girls Analyze the Large Hadron Collider

I don’t watch The Hills, but that doesn’t mean I’m not entertained when I see Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt prancing around and pretending they aren’t posing for the cameras: in this clip, Audrina attempts to get scientific with the Big Bang theory and the Large Hadron Collider. Her friend explains that the Large Hadron…

New Book Reveals How Comic-Con Destroyed One Man’s Life

Click to view The gigantic, annual pop culture convention Comic-Con can be many things: amazing, exciting, insane, overhyped, controversial . . . and heartbreaking. As Clive Young’s terrific new book Homemade Hollywood reveals, a controversy over fan films at the Con almost destroyed aspiring filmmaker Sandy Collora‘s career. Collora wowed the 2003 Con with his…

The Killer Eye In Space

The Hubble Space Telescope went back online, and it was just in time to warn us about the deadliest threat we’ve faced so far — the giant Eye In Space. Here it is, staring out at us from a mere 400 million light years away. NASA officials say the Eye is just a curiously shaped…

Can You Handle John Hodgman’s Gift Of Knowledge? No, You Cannot

Are EMFs Making You See Ghosts?

For some people, ghosts are a very real part of their daily experiences. Barring spectral visitors from the afterlife, what causes these people to believe they’re being haunted? A research team thought it might be people’s sensitivity to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and non-audible sound. So a group of scientists put several people inside a house…

Transformers That Didn’t Make The Cut

Alas, not every transforming robot is up to snuff. Plenty of transforming bots probably tried out for both the Autobot and Decepticon teams, and Worth 1000 asked fans to dream up all of the “Rejected Transformers” that might not have been flashy enough to be more than meets the eye. We’ve put some of the…

Why We Won’t See Obama Dealing With Doctor Doom

We’ve had months to listen to Barack Obama and John McCain explain how they plan to lead the United States of America, but they’ve been suspiciously quiet about their stance on the Superhero Registration Act and whether or not America should open diplomatic negotiations with Latveria. However, if a planned Marvel comic book had gotten…

Wolf Blitzer Will Speak With The Jedi Council

We’re one step closer to our dreams of having Robert Picardo pop up and ask us the nature of the medical emergency. On Tuesday night, CNN will be using 3-dimensional holograms of the Obama and McCain spokespeople, alongside the (somewhat) real Wolf Blitzer. Instead of simply showing the spokespeople on a splitscreen as Blitzer interviews…

When Ligers Attack

Ligers are the offspring of a male lion mating with a tigress, and they are known to be enormous (see picture) and tremendously fierce. It’s unclear why combining male lion DNA with female tiger DNA results in a creature who is much bigger than either species. But sometimes the results can be deadly, as a…

They’re Finally Making A Movie Of Wanted!

An amoral slacker who’s going nowhere in life becomes the heir to a supervillain’s mantle. Sound familiar? It’s not just the plot of Wanted, Mark Millar’s bleak graphic novel about a world run by supervillains. It’s also the basis of Villains, a 2007 graphic novel from Viper Comics that you’ve probably never heard of. And…

Saturn’s Moon Could Hold Spark of Life

We long ago declared Saturn’s moon Titan the one of the awesomest moons in the solar system (though this assertion was controversial). Granted, it’s freezing cold, but its Earth-like features have set astrobiologists dreaming and made it one of the most popular extraplanetary settings in science fiction. And a new discovery about this infamous lunar…
