Some very interesting retro-futuristic planter concepts called Golly Pods, made as a collaboration between Tend Living and Bells & Whistles‘ Jason Xavier Lane. These wooden sculptures are like terrariums more than pots, and with a clever eye — and proper access to succulents — you could convert your house into the backdrop of some 1950’s […]

One of LIAS’ favorite labels, mastermind JAPAN, has announced it will close shop in 2013, which would complete its 15th year on the market. As much of a bummer as it is, you have to admire an artist closing something down at its peak. Everyone from Entourage to Axel Rose to the Aliens franchise should […]

Russian born (via Tokyo via Seattle via Los Angeles) designer Igor Chak designed this headturning couch shaped like the classic Space Invader alien. The couch is made of all leather, with two glass surfaces on the arm rests. Although it might look uncomfortable it’s supposedly amply soft, “mainly lined and made with memory foam”. If […]

Asked whether he believed aliens would really look like the creatures he imagined in District 9, Blomkamp used the […]

Anyone who reads this site with any regularity knows that I’ve been anticipating Avatar with my Geek Phaser set on Mutilate. It’s fair to say that this is the most energized I’ve felt waiting for a film since the first X-Men (Bryan Singer helming my favorite childhood comic) or even Terminator 2 (Cameron’s follow-up to […]

If you’re a fan of sci-fi or film in general, I highly recommend Dana Goodyear’s interview with James Cameron in the latest issue of the New Yorker. It’s an incredibly insightful, well written examination of one of America’s best auteur filmmakers, living or dead. (If you don’t think so, best be prepared for a heated […]
