Will The Dark Knight Return?

Click to viewWith The Dark Knight continuing to rule at the box office, passing the $400 million mark and still going (relatively) strong, it’s not surprising that everyone is talking about the next movie even before director Christopher Nolan has agreed to do one. But what’s slightly more surprising is the new speculation that a…

The World According To Gort

So we know Gort the big eye-blasty robot will look much like his 1950s version in the new Day The Earth Stood Still film, but how will he act? We have a few hints below. It’s just one of the things that our spoiler-phobic culture demands that we hide from public view. We must also…

Melon Evolution Reveals the Future of Human Sex

Melons have recently evolved a strange new sexual feature: When they bloom, their flowers are both male and bisexual. Their sexual system is called “andromonoecy,” and it may provide a glimpse into what caused humans to evolve into male and female — as well as what we might evolve into next. Scientists in France and…

Worst Robot Penis Joke In History

Supposedly when Wall-E was already in production, the Pixar team found out that Blue Sky Studios was putting out an animated robot movie called Robots. Andrew Stanton was worried — until he saw Robots, which is nothing like Wall-E and also pretty horrendous. In this scene from the movie’s opening credits, Stanley Tucci and Dianne…

Why Does My City Scream?

Click to viewJust as Americans are going to the polls in November, a mass media campaign will be ramping up that depicts cities as both dangerous and wracked with torment. “My City Screams!” It could be a slogan for The Dark Knight. Or any of a host of other movies, TV shows or books. But…

But don’t worry – everyone’s favorite rag-tag group of sexily scarred castaways are getting more roomies. EW announced that the fifth season will add two new characters.

Which Skull Stomping Terminator Future Is Your Favorite?

The time line for Terminator 4 plops John Connor in the year of 2018, in between Judgment Day and the eventual triumph of the human race in 2029. When you start to wrap your head around the many timelines of the Terminators, it’s easy to get them confused. For example, the original Terminator includes robot-sniffing…

Contact Lenses of the Future Will Treat Your Eye Diseases

The World Health Organization estimates that glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. And though the first leading cause of blindness – cataracts – can be treated with surgery, the blindness caused by glaucoma can’t be permanently cured. That’s why Tingrui Pan and Hailin Cong, researchers at UC Davis, have designed a contact…

James Cameron Is Making Gadget-Heavy Avatar With One Eye On Future

In 10 or 15 years, your laptop may come with a 3-D stereoscopic screen as a standard feature, predicts James Cameron, who’s directing the 3-D science fiction epic Avatar, due in December 2009. And most DVD players and home theater systems may be 3-D as well. He’s making Avatar so it’ll look good in regular…

Are Russian Flying Saucers the Next Big Thing in Aviation?

Imagine how the U.S. government would have reacted during the Cold War had they discovered the USSR was developing a flying saucer. The EKIP (“Ecology and Progress”; the project was also referred to as “Tarielka”) model aircraft looks nothing like a typical plane, and as you can glean from the narration on this clip from…

Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse Is Even Creepier Than You Thought

Some script pages from Dollhouse, Joss Whedon’s new show about mind-wiped agents who can be programmed to become anyone, have turned up online. They show an even creepier side of Eliza Dushku’s brainwashed character Echo than you might have been expecting. And they simultaneously make me more excited for Dollhouse and more dubious that a…
