Canadian Giant Monsters Kick Your Ass

We’re looking forward to The Beast of Bottomless Lake, a Canadian flick about the giant snakey Ogopogo creature that lurks in the bottom of Lake Okanagan in British Colombia. It’s the tale of a lonely cryptozoologist who has lost his university job and just wants to win the $2 million bounty offered for incontrovertible proof…

Is Human Evolution Over?

What will the future of humanity look like? We know it probably won’t turn us into a being of pure energy, and it won’t necessarily find us more intelligent or prescient. In fact, according to a leading genetics researcher, humans of the future won’t look much different from the humans of today, as modern life…

Invincible Iron Man Shows The Future Of Men Of Steel

We may have snarked about it before, but it’s time to eat humble pie: Matt Fraction’s The Invincible Iron Man is, without doubt, the best way Marvel Comics could’ve followed up this summer’s Iron Man movie. With the completion of the series’ first storyline in this week’s sixth issue, Fraction’s been talking about how he…

Won’t Somebody Please Adopt the Ecto-1?

Two years ago, a kindly fan in Tennessee rescued this Ecto-1 car, a Caddy decked out as the Ghostbuster-mobile that was used for years in a Universal Studios ride. He’s kept it in pristine shape, but now he just can’t keep it around. So he put it on eBay. For just $27,000, you could adopt…

One of the Stargaters is in for a close shave and it’s not looking pretty in the upcoming Stargate Atlantis episode “Identity.” Find out who in our gallery from the episode, and check out some new cowlicky Sheppard shots and a new hottie femme fatal who’s inching in on McKay.

Meet City Of Ember’s Secret Guest Star!

This clip shows the moment where City Of Ember takes a sudden sharp left turn, and becomes a very different movie than you were expecting. It’s totally demented and awesome, and a bit spoilery. I was excited that IGN posted this scene, however, because there’s a bit more to Ember than you might have heard.…

Magnetic Anomaly Map of the World

Click to viewThis map shows areas on the globe where there are disturbances in the Earth’s magnetic field. Here, red indicates a stronger magnetic tug, and blue a weaker one (white lines are the edges of tectonic plates). As you can see, disturbances are fairly regularly distributed, but that doesn’t stop UFO enthusiasts from saying…

Cronenberg’s The Fly Is 22 — Vomit Cake For Everyone

That’s right The Fly is 22 years old and AMC is celebrating with an adorable “fly fact” video. Toast a glass of regurgitated champagne fly style and talk about the baboon/cat combination that Seth Brundle almost created. [Sci Fi Scanner]

What’s the Future of Cancer Diagnosis?

I talked about the importance of early cancer diagnosis in a previous post, and reader Ian wrote back to ask for more detail. Early detection can be life-saving, but accuracy in these tests is also a serious problem – a test that misses existing cancers is obviously bad, but one that detects cancers that aren’t…

Science Fiction’s Fiercest Sibling Rivalries

The only creature who could ever make Data truly feel something was his twin brother, the evil, Borg-diddling Lore. Science fiction is full of nemeses, heroes and villains whose most fearsome foes live right in their immediate families. We delved into the deep psychology of science fiction’s most bitter sibling rivalries and now we know…

Unleash Trixie — “The Crazies” Remake is Coming

Before George Romero become the zombie master, he made a little film about germ warfare and mayhem called The Crazies. It’s about a secret government weapon called Trixie, and now it’s about to get a reboot. The remake was batted around over that last few years and passed off by director Brad Anderson. But now…

Cultural References You Need to Know Before Experiencing Watchmen

Zack Snyder’s adaptation of Watchmen will attempt to simulate the look and detailed feel of the graphic novel, but where did that look and feel originate? The multilayered original comic book by Alan Moore and collaborator Dave Gibbons is packed with references to everything from British scifi TV to Mayan death gods. And Snyder threw…

The Road’s Weary Travelers Have Terrible Hygiene

Cormac McCarthy’s depressing, post-apocalyptic ash world in The Road isn’t going to be any more cheerful in John Hillcoat’s big screen adaptation. And the little survivalist details promise to be the parts that make the movie truly sick. So far we’ve only been introduced to one wanderer and the two main characters The Boy (Kodi…

Turn the American Presidential Debates into Abstract Data Structures

You can watch the American presidential debates and allow Barack Obama and John McCain to move you emotionally, or you can convert what they say into easily-analyzed data structures. C-SPAN’s awesomely wonky graphic designers have created several easy ways for you to analyze as objectively as possible which candidate spoke the longest, interrupted the most,…

Howard Stern’s Daughter Leads Suckiest Space Musical

If the idea of a “space rock musical” about a human teenager (played by Emily Stern, Howard Stern’s daughter) getting mixed up with an alien popstar and healing the rift with her emotionally-distant NASA scientist father sounds like your idea of a good time, then… well, we should probably sit down and talk about whatever…

Discovery Channel’s Time Warp: Slo-Mo Videos of Crazy Sh*t Go Primetime

Overheard in a recent Discovery Channel producer’s meeting: “Hey—here’s a crazy idea: you know how videos of things happening in slow motion tend to blow up the internet? Let’s make that into a whole show. And in HD to boot. Face punches, raw chicken exploding, champagne blowing its top (the more latent sexuality the better!)—that…

Indy 4 Blu-Ray Comes With 5 Different Retail Packages, Still Hurts Me Inside

There’s only one week left until the Blu-Ray release of the worst sequel ever (at least in terms of how it took my childhood and ripped out its heart Kali Ma-style), Indiana Jones and The Goddamn X-Files, and retailers have decided to go with an equally frustrating promotion gimmick. Indy-enthusiasts will have to choose between…

Worst Teenage Nuclear Panic Movie Of All Time

If you get overwhelmed, feeling like you’re living through one of the craziest times in history, it’s worth dipping back into the era of Mutually Assured Destruction for a reality check. Here’s the most ridiculous scene from The Manhattan Project, the 1986 movie better known as “the dumber version of War Games.” Watch in horror…
