Last Friday is we posted our Nerds vs. the Hollywood Armageddon At San Diego Comic Con feature, where we discussed the balance between the hardcore fans and the Hollywood machine that has taken over the event. It’s not necessarily a bad thing — the money provides for quite a spectacle, and elevates SDCC into a unique […]

The new trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim, which might be the summer blockbuster we’re looking forward to most at LIAS. We have big hopes for the Spanish filmmaker’s latest, and each trailer seems to get better and better (check out the previously posted first trailer, CES extended trailer and Wondercon trailer). Pacific Rim hits theaters […]

Nanan is the creator of these quirky lighting bots, all fitted with big lamps on their heads for ultimate functionality. Some of the […]
