Sony pictures finally released the full theatrical trailer for The Social Network, and while it certainly reveals more about the movie than the two previous teasers, it still didn’t convince me that I should go see it at the cinema. I’ll probably wait until it’s out on DVD/Blu-Ray. What about you?
This short video called “Gnarcade” features the performance of various skate/snowboarders as they make their way through an environment that is half real and half virtual. Check it out: [Via Gizmodo]
Ok, I swear we didn’t do this on purpose, and I really don’t know why, but almost everything that caught our attention today is somehow related to Star Wars. So for the last Star Wars-themed post of the day, I present you the cutest and most adorable little stormtrooper you’ll ever see. [Via]
Apparently it’s a Star Wars kind of day! This video is the latest from Improv Everywhere, the New York-based performance art group whose motto is “we cause scenes” and who you might remember from such awesomeness as freezing in Grand Central Station and riding the subway with no pants. Here we see the group acting [...]
These photographs were taken by [GAS] reader Eva at an event in Santiago de Compostela, Spain in May, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back. Imperial Stormtroopers took over the city, marching through the streets and ending victoriously with a carbonite-encased Han Solo and a speech from Darth Vader. And of course [...]
Since being released in 1977, Star Wars has remained one of the most influential sci-fi films of all time. It has spawned three prequels, two sequels, TV and Internet-based fan films, books, and countless toys. Despite the vast amount of information available online about the famous franchise, there still might be some things about Star [...]
While some have suggested that the typewriter should be extinct, these antique pieces of technology still have amazing potential. Take for example this 2008 performance of Leroy Anderson’s “The Typewriter,” an orchestral piece that centers around the key clacking and bell ringing sounds of antiquity. Of course, when this was written originally in 1950, it [...]
It’s time for a new season of The Guild, the MMORPG-based web series spearheaded by geek favorite Felicia Day. The first episode, “Epic Guilt”, premiered last night at midnight PST. You might remember that last season featured Wil Wheaton as the leader of a rival guild, and it looks like that character is definitely sticking [...]
Me and my wife have had a love-hate relationship with the intro to Firefly. While we both felt that it kinda grows on you over time, we both felt that it didn’t do the series justice. So that’s why this version grabbed my interest so much… What do you think? How does it compare to [...]
The recently released Jedi Junkies documentary is a tour through Star Wars fandom, from the sexy to the slightly scary. But unlike some other documentaries I’ve seen that touch on serious fans, this one doesn’t seem to have the mocking undertones. Even interspersed with interviews with a psychologist talking about the nature of obsession, it’s [...]
Built by artist/scluptor Lawrence Alan Noble with the collaboration of his long time Apprentice, Shane Curran, the RED DOG-3 Helmet has to be one of the best looking steampunk-inspired stormtrooper helmets we’ve ever seen. And what is even better about this project is that it was all done for a good cause: to help amass [...]
By Jimmy Rogers (@me) Contributing Writer, [GAS] Be you British or American (or anything else for that matter), odds are good that you’re a fan of Bond. James Bond’s global appeal as an international man of mystery spans decades of film history. Recent news out of Bond producer MGM, though, will definitely put a cramp in [...]
