The best horror, sci-fi, and genre titles coming to Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, Disney+, and more, including Lost , Jaws , Star Trek , Saw , and more.
Disney theme parks are a great place to get exclusive merchandise and souvenirs featuring all your favorite characters. That is, unless those pieces of merchandise make awful, embarrassing mistakes. Like now: According to Disney Pins, a website devoted to tracking the various pins purchasable at Disney parks and other outlets, the latest Black Panther pin…
You can finally add “swimming pools” to your running list of seemingly mundane-but-murderous-pastimes. At around 7pm EDT on Monday, local authorities in Tampa responded to an emergency call involving five sick children at a local pool. As reported by ABC News and others, a “cloud of chlorine gas” appeared in the Calypso Pool hours after…
Back in December, former employees of the super-secretive augmented reality startup Magic Leap were circulating rumors that the company was way behind on its goals. Unless the plan is for users to wear a Ghostbusters-style proton pack, it certainly looks like that is true. According to Business Insider, this is what the Magic Leap prototype…
Make that “many things.” This hat was featured by Twitter user Ananth, with a pretty good explanation of why it looks like this: The replies have picked out a number of weird things going on here: Unfortunately, this thread does not cover that the arms are operated by squeezing the legs. Anyway, here’s another amazing…
Based on what we’ve been told, nothing good is happening in Cars 3. Or, at the very least, nothing simple. First, Cars 3 had an unexpectedly dark teaser trailer (well, unexpected if you didn’t know that Cars 2 had an unusually high death rate for a movie about sentient cars). Now, director Brian Fee is…
Look at the dog-hand. Look at it. Were you on the internet yesterday? Do you remember Graham, the wide, fleshy, multi-nippled creature of your nightmares disguised as a way to raise awareness for road safety? Of course you do because HOW COULD YOU FORGET ABOUT GRAHAM: Well, Twitter user and all-around mindfucker Bryce Durbin has,…
Sometimes, life gives you lemons. And then sometimes, it gives you Sir Richard Branson dressed as a mermaid, gazing happily at the camera as if to say, “My lifelong dream was not, in fact, to become an obscenely wealthy entrepreneur, but rather to bask in shallow waters with my fellow merpeople.” Branson himself tweeted out…
Late on Monday afternoon, Variety co-editor-in-chief Andrew Wallenstein sent a tweet out into the world. This wouldn’t be a particularly noteworthy action, except that it included an image of what appears to be Variety’s upcoming cover, depicting Marissa Mayer as a Christ-like figure carrying a Y-shaped cross. What? Indeed. Mayer is hanging out in what…
When Brendan Farrell was shopping for a house in Los Angeles, he noticed how real estate sites readily listed a property’s walkability and nearby schools. But the presence of noise—one of the most important quality-of-life factors—remained elusive, and invisible. Farrell realized he could use his skills as an applied mathematician to build a map that…
People choose where to live based on all sorts of data: Price, public transit, proximity to pizza chains. But noise is tougher to measure. And since sound is pretty much invisible, you might not know about the nightly clanking from the local concrete recycling plant until you’re all moved in. A new mapping app can…
Why are people taking wedding photos in the middle of natural disasters? Is this becoming a new photo fad? Last week we had Josh Newton’s photos in the middle of a raging fire in Oregon. Today we got Colleen Niska’s photoshot with a tornado as the backdrop. I’m sure couples and photographers around the country…
I still remember Joel’s plea to forgive George Lucas for his many sins. He had a point. Kind of. A little. Ish. Had. Whatever mercy I had left for this man—a man who I greatly respected and admired as a creator—has completely disappeared after watching the trailer for Star Wars’ Detours, a comedy. https://gizmodo.com/its-time-to-forgive-george-lucas-5664218 Yes,…
Is this an image of some horrible irradiated wasteland? Maybe this is what happens when Lindsay Lohan wades into the ocean at night? No, it’s actually a celebration, not cause for a full-body acid wash. Actually, that’s not entirely off base. It’s a long-exposure image of a celebration of Corpus Christi, a Catholic holiday where…
It sounds shadier than it is, but the facts are these: The nation of Israel has finally secured the @israel Twitter account from a Spanish citizen living in Miami, a man who also happens to own a porn site. You might be tempted to pass judgment and assume that the Miamian (excellent demonym, Miami!) is…
Because we’re apparently running out of things to invent, a man named Perry Watkins has concocted a Queen Anne dining table that reached top speeds of 130mph in a recent track test. No word on how the soufflé fared. The (fully set) table has reportedly bested the previous record-holder in the furniture category, a sofa…
This is a real thing: fire combines with strong dry winds to create a fire tornado. One happened just yesterday in Aracatuba, Brazil. Here’s the footage, taken by someone much braver/crazier than I’ll ever be. At least now we know why Wheeler and Linka never got together. [ITN News]
A few things to be concerned with here: first, Google Street View has gone meta. Second, apparently those vans travel in packs. Third, the universe just collapsed in on itself, the end. [Google via Reddit]
It’s called Hurley, naturally. [Pitchfork]
Patents! They are often completely fucking insane. But here’s my question about this one, “Apparatus for Facilitating the Birth of a Child by Centrifugal Force:” it’d work on helping me poop, too, right? Yes, this is an elaborate contraption that you would strap a pregnant woman to who was about to give birth. It would…
