It’s official, Robert Muraine is the best “pop and lock” dancer I’ve ever seen in my life. This guy is totally amazing! Take a few minutes of your time to watch him do his thing, I can assure you that you won’t regret it!
By Mark O’Neill While reading a BBC news story about the next three Terminator movies being planned, it wasn’t the fact that Christian Bale has signed on for all three that caught my attention. It was this line : “The producers would not reveal whether Arnold Schwarzenegger would reprise his role as the Terminator”. Now [...]
By JR Raphael Contributing Writer, [GAS] I’m thinking about trading in my girlfriend for a few really advanced robots. Hang on a sec — I know it sounds bad. But hear me out. Scientists are making leaps and bounds with these things right now. I mean, they’ve come up with artificial life that can conduct [...]
Here at [GAS], we think that steampunk devices are among the sexiest gadgets you can own. I mean, just check out this awesome steampunk USB drive, it looks amazing, doesn’t it? Unfortunately, this thing has been hand-crafted, so there’s no way you’ll be able to put your hands on one… unless you have the skills [...]

Look at what the brilliant minds at Disney / Pixar have been working on: A real, working version of WALL-E, the hero of the upcoming Disney movie going by the same name. I wonder how long it will take for this thing to end up on eBay?
By Mark O’Neill The long-running saga of the assault on the British Jedi’s ended today when Darth Vader escaped a prison sentence and was instead ordered to pay fines totalling 260 British pounds ($500).

By Mark O’Neill For those who have been waiting patiently for the upcoming X-Files movie trailer to come out, wait no more – it’s finally out. It doesn’t show that much but you do get to see some revealing scenes – including a gorgeous Gillian Anderson. Plus my girlfriend found David Duchovny quite delicious too apparently. [...]
By Mark O’Neill Gizmodo is reporting that a MacGyver movie is in the works and I have to admit that at first my attitude was “so what?”. But when I told my girlfriend and her mother, they started shrieking with pleasure “MACGYVER!!!” (think of Homer’s sisters in “The Simpsons) and so I just had to [...]
