Charles Moore draws attention to the growing, choking problem of plastic debris in our seas for TED
We touched on this epic plastic dilemma facing the Planet Earth a couple years back when we covered photographer Chris Jordan’s Midway: Message from the Gyre in 2009, but it doesn’t get any less scary.

Bryan Singer returns to save his glorious franchise from Brett "The Hack" Rattner — nerds everywhere, rejoice!
I will gladly admit the Mundt Nerd-o-Meter is going all about haywire right now at the release of the trailer to X-Men: First Class. After the much loathed celluloid abortion that was X-Men Last Stand — Brett Ratner’s shameless taint-fiddling shit bomb — the X-Franchise desperately needed to get its stomach pumped from the toxic […]

Voyeuristic robots and sub-bass Ninja Tune goodness
God I love me some Amon Tobin, especially when the track’s video involves a home-invading voyeuristic robot. Although I’m not sure what took so long to make this new video (released last week), seeing as the track “Esther’s” comes from Tobin’s 2007 album, The Foley Room. But why look a gift horse in the mouth? […]

Min-Woo Hyung's vampire graphic novel comes to life
The just released trailer for one of next year’s first hopeful blockbusters, Priest. Based on Min-Woo Hyung’s graphic novel, it’s tough to tell what you’re gonna get with this one. Will it be just another questionable Supernatural Graphic Novel hackfest (Constantine, Legion, I Am Legend, etc), or will it be a surprise quality sleeper? Some […]
