Maleficent Deleted Scenes Reveal More Creepy Pixie Behavior

The parts of Maleficent we actually enjoyed were when Angelina Jolie went full villain. The rest, not to much. Specifically, we weren’t fans of the odd, slapstick pixies whose backstory has been fleshed out in these recently released Maleficent deleted scenes. These deleted scenes are from the soon-to-be released Maleficent DVD (Nov. 4th). What they…

The Maze Runner Movie Doesn’t Have Nearly Enough Maze-Running In It

The star of The Maze Runner is the maze: a giant structure that towers over the boys trapped at the center of it. It’s such a cool concept, you can see why the book was so popular. But the movie, while fun, doesn’t quite do justice to this megastructure-driven story. Spoilers ahead… In The Maze…

Why Archeologists Hate Indiana Jones

Most archeologists bristle at the mention of Indiana Jones, and for good reason. In this piece, originally featured at Last Word On Nothing, journalist Erik Vance takes a close look at the questionable professional ethics of Henry Walton Jones, Jr. and arrives at an unsettling conclusion: The man is a looter. The jungles of the…

Even Death Can’t Come Between Joan Rivers and Her iPhone 6

Despite being having been deceased for the past week and half, Joan Rivers is, apparently, still very much suffering from a fever. iPhone 6 fever, specifically. Assuming endorsing a cell phone wasn’t what Rivers intended for her final act from beyond the grave, it’s probably safe to assume that, somewhere out there, a social media…

Beautiful music video makes me want to live in eternal summer love

I like all seasons but it’s summer, which will end with the September equinox next week, the one that always gave me the most happiness. This video by Zack Spiger for The Dove & the Wolf is about that. It feels like summer love—intense, fleeting, careless, lazy, eternal and spotless—forever set in your mind. The…

3D Printing Just Wireframe Models Can Vastly Speed Up Prototyping

When 3D printing technologies were first adopted for manufacturing decades ago, they were referred to as rapid prototyping machines because compared to old methods, they were able to churn out parts with remarkable speed.

This is the weirdest and most beautiful time lapse I’ve ever seen

This is not your usual eye-candy time lapse of a gorgeous landscape. This one—created by Jeff Frost—is different. Speaks directly to the feelings. It’s sometimes creepy, violent, and weird. And others stunning, beautiful, and relaxing. The same type of contrasts you find in real life. That’s why I like it so much. Jeff used 300.000…

Watch 2001: A Space Odyssey As a 60-Second Cartoon

2001: A Space Odyssey earns the term “epic” more than almost any other movie. The two-hour-and-forty-one-minute cinema classic is an absolute must-watch. But if you don’t have that kind of time, Speedrun just very loosely condensed the plot down to a mere 60 seconds. Okay, so you’re not actually getting any insight into the plot…
