The speed in which we have seen the advancement of technology creep upon us has been astonishing. Just the other day I was thinking about when cell phones were first being used by everyday people and I thought, "Great, now EVERYONE is going to be able to get a hold of me" and I really thought that the inconvenience of carrying a phone around with you would make people give it up...oh, how wrong I was.

Yes, we are heading toward a future that I would have never thought possible and now technology has thrown yet a new thing at our feet that will no doubt change the way we interact with people and objects.

Introducing inFORM, a...well, I guess the best way to describe it is that it allows a user to physically manipulate objects remotely. For instance you could....oh hell, watch the video after the break and discover what it is I'm stammering on about.

You might want to jot this intro down in your mind, because I have a feeling that the applications of this program (after a bit more tweaking) will probably become something that we all will use eventually, and for nostalgia sake, it would be nice to remember the moment you had your mind fucking blown.

A Belgian bacteriologist and a toxicologist went to a library (No, this isn't the beginning to a joke) to do a little experiment on what would be left on the pages and spines of the 10 most checked-out books at the Antwerp Library, what they found was a lot of cocaine and...trace amounts of Herpes in a copy of E.L James' 50 Shades of Grey. 

Yep, people are treating the poorly realized sex tome as a prostitute.

Now, just so you don't think I'm slut-shaming the the tepid Story of O rip-off alone, it appears that another book also had a trace amount of the HERP in it as well (although they didn't release the name of that book, you know, so that it could notify the other books it had slept with).

While the scientists want to make it very clear that there is no risk to the public that they will become infected with Book Herpes (which I'm assuming only flare up when Donna Tartt releases a new book...so, not that often- Ha! literary joke...score!), they do think it's wise to maybe not ejaculate or wipe your nether region with a book that is not your own.

By the way, if I didn't make it clear before, ALL 10 of the library books tested positive for cocaine...ALL 10.

I should probably go to the library more often...sounds like they have a good time in there.

Now that we are heading toward bitter cold temperatures where being outside feels like getting your entire body rubbed down by 40-grit sandpaper, I like to start figuring out what I'm going to do to keep myself busy during all those long, horribly bleak, days and nights before the sun comes back out again in the Spring (you know, besides slamming down bottles of NyQuil and/or Robitussin).

And I think I found one of those crafty projayjays (is that a word?) in the form of a Giant Sandworm costume from Dune.

Created by Instructables user Canida, this gigantic apparatus will not only keep me occupied, it will also double as next year's Halloween costume as well as take a starring role in some intimate role playing (oh, right, like I'm the only person on the planet who has eroticized the Sandworm).

While the costume looks difficult to create, it's not.  If you have some sewing skills and a child's play tunnel at your disposal you're already halfway there (don't ask me why a childless person like myself owns a kid's play tunnel...you're not going to like the answer).

For all the materials needed as well as the how-tos, click HERE.

Come on, are you telling me this doesn't look fun to you:

Yeah, I thought so.

Review by Guy Benoit

Unlike Peanuts, with its adherence to minimalism, both in geometric artwork and languid, late-afternoon pacing, cartoonist Bill Watterson's Calvin And Hobbes was a powerfully messy creation.
The drawing style was busy and energetic, and the writing subscribed to an impenetrable internal logic.

Calvin’s wild transmogrifications from frustrated elementary schooler into Spaceman Spiff, Stupendous Man or Safari Al occurred without explanation; one of the reclusive Watterson’s favorite tactics was to drop readers into the middle of the outlandish adventures and expect them to get their own bearings.

The premise of Dear Mr. Watterson seems to be that this trust is precisely what resonated with readers.

Joel Allen Schroeder's documentary is composed almost entirely of interviews with artists who were sufficiently impressed by Watterson’s creations to either a) try their hand at their own strips, or b) seriously analyze work they’d been doing for years.


Two things upon which all parties can agree are that Calvin and Hobbes was a short-lived /long-lasting revolution in pen n’ ink storytelling, and that Bill Watterson was steadfastly intent on doing things his own way.

After George Lucas finished work on 2005’s Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, he wanted to look back on the now-completed Star Wars saga through an entirely new point-of-view: isolating stills, or frames, from each of the six Star Wars films, focusing on them intensely as works of photography and design, and reproducing them in a book.

For two years, Lucas went through more than 150,000 frames per film, eventually editing more than a million frames down to the 1,416 images that now comprise Star Wars: Frames, an essential part of the saga and a testament to the hard work, craftsmanship, and dedication evident in every frame of every film. 

 

Star Wars: Frames, previously available only as a $3,000 limited edition, presents these stills in a new, lower-priced edition, bringing together Lucas’s personal shot-by-shot selections from all six Star Wars films into a lavishly designed two-volume hardcover set—one volume for the Original Trilogy, and one volume for the Prequel Trilogy. Star Wars: Frames is a crucial collector’s piece for any fan of the series, and a more affordable edition of this grand project devoted to the art and craftsmanship of a cinematic phenomenon.

Star Wars: Frames features selections by George Lucas with introductions by Guillermo del Toro and J. W. Rinzler.

The past few weeks have a bunch of pretty amazing releases including a reboot of the Last Son of Krypton, an extended Middle Earth, a complete visit from the Doctor, the fastest snail alive, the greatest anime of all time, and much more.

Fire up that queue and prep that shopping cart.  It's that time of the week!


The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (Extended Edition) 

Warner Home Video / Released 11/5/13

The adventure follows Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim Erebor with the help of Gandalf the Grey and 13 Dwarves led by the legendary warrior Thorin Oakenshield. This extended edition includes 13 minutes of revealing never-before-seen film footage and extras include commentaries and nearly 9 hours of fascinating featurettes that feature in-depth looks at the production.

Last Word: Continuing Peter Jackson's tradition of extended editions that outshine the theatrical cut comes The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey which follows the adventure of title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome Dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the Wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of 13 Dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into the Wild, through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins, Orcs and deadly Wargs, as well as a mysterious and sinister figure known only as the Necromancer.

Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain, first they must escape the Goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever...Gollum.

Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of ingenuity and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum's “precious” ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities...A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-Earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.  Highly recommended.

Man of Steel

Warner Home Video / Released 11/12/13

A young boy learns that he has extraordinary powers and is not of this Earth. As a young man, he journeys to discover where he came from and what he was sent here to do. But the hero in him must emerge if he is to save the world from annihilation and become the symbol of hope for all mankind.  Extras include featurettes and feature to watch the film with director Zack Snyder.

Last Word:  Superman doesn’t exactly stand for truth, justice, and the American way in 2013. In Man of Steel, Clark stands for what’s right, his family, and believing in himself to do good. I might be missing something in there but that’s the general idea. He’s only on his first ‘missions’ as a superhero, so he has growing up to do. They tell a different sort of origin story with pacing, flashbacks and nonlinear jumps, allowing for more time spent on the story of Krypton as a planet and it’s fate. Zod and Jor-El open the movie fighting and it is this fight over the fate of Kryptonians and their last son that drives the plot.

This time, Krypton is an organic alien planet filled with strange rounded spaceships, elaborate birdcage steampunk costumes, and Giger-esque settings and ships. The time we spend on Krypton is delightful, and much different from the crystalline palace of Brando’s Jor-El in Richard Donner's Superman: The Movie. They’re doing it right with the Houses of Krypton and the General Zod-ness of Krypton just before the explosion.   After Zod and his crew are banished to the Phantom Zone, Clark is sent to Earth and raised by the Kents (Kevin Costner and Diane Lane) under the belief that revealing his powers would threaten his family. 

Later, Clark encounters Lois for the first time just as he begins his training that leads to wearing his costume and adopting his heroic identity. Zod’s motivation is to take over the Earth and repopulate Krypton with stored DNA from a Krypton artifact. In the process he’d terraform and kill all humans. 

I applaud every effort to include major and minor fan service moments, characters, and re-imaginings.  Let Donner be Donner. Let Smallville and Geoff Johns comics be those things. This is a new thing. Man of Steel scratches the itch of a sci-fi fan in a modern film context while inserting the aesthetic of a news camera crew or reality show when appropriate. I believe he can fly.  (– Clay N Ferno)

Now that we are only a couple of short weeks away from the holiday party season, people everywhere are feeling the pressure to make the whole of December completely and utterly awesome entertainment-wise. Which means that it's probably a good time to figure out what you are going to be serving in the libation department at your own party.

For myself, I think I'm going to do something a bit more nerd-oriented this year (rather than just pass around the Jeremiah Weed Sweet Tea Vodka bottle like last year), come my holiday party, I'm going to create a batch of Cryo Alcohol Spheres that will not only look amazing, they will also get my party guests extremely drunk (which is a great way to load up on sensitive information that you can use against your friends throughout 2014).

Remarkably, making these incredibly interesting drinks are easy.

Tobacco giant Phillip Morris might have taken a huge hit in the last couple of decades financially, but back in the 80s, it was all about the money honey. And what better way to promote rising profits and lung cancer statistics, than by creating a music/training video about proper cigarette inventory management utilizing the Pointer Sisters' hit song Jump and setting the whole video in space.

Frakking brilliant.

Oh 80s, how I've missed your blatant disregard for reality.

Between getting ready for finals in a week-and-a-half, Thanksgivukkah (for all you gentiles out there, Hanukkah falls on Thanksgiving for us Jews this year which means even more family pressure) and dealing with what I'm pretty sure is the beginning of an ulcer, I need a little bit of a respite. And thank god that I can rely on the internet's incessant need to smoosh newscasters and rap songs together into a beautiful paste to will get me through these stressful times.

Review by Dean Galanis

An evil magician resurrects Michael Jackson so that he can retrieve a magic lance, which will ensure global domination.  Or something.

Fans of so-bad-they’re-good movies…..don’t get your hopes up. 

Return of the Moonwalker is flat-out hideous.

At 93 minutes, it feels three times that long, with not only zero laughs, but enough wretched acting, directing, editing, camerawork, make-up, any skill involved in filmmaking (hell, I’m sure even the craft services sucked) to make any viewer who expects competence for their rental money throw eggs at the screen.

In fact, the movie made me angry from the first few seconds of its interminable running time.

It opens with two male little people engaging in sadomasochistic sodomy. 

That’s the entire joke. Boy, the filmmakers went the extra mile!


How outrageous!!

I’m sure if John Waters ever bothered to toss this filth into his DVD player, he’d eject it after 30 seconds and break it over his knee.

Obviously, a film that brings back Jackson from the dead is aiming for tastelessness. Guess what, jerks? You missed.

Your film DOES have taste.

Awful, horrendous, embarrassing taste. Every joke flops. Every bid for offensiveness flops. The only thing offensive about this crap is that it was released in any form, and that these clowns want people’s hard earned money and valuable time.  Even if you’re a retired billionaire, you’ll feel robbed by Return of the Moonwalker.

Broken love. Forbidden passion. Self-discovery. Set in the lush hills and cobbled streets of the Amalfi Coast, Jane (Kate Bosworth, BLUE CRUSH) is searching for something more from her life. She loves her husband (Iddo Goldberg), but the silence between them is growing. Her work, writing her grandmother's memoir (voiced by Claire Bloom), immerses her in the quiet beauty of the town, its islands...and finally, in the romantic embrace of a younger man (Jamie Blackley). Jane must decide where her passions will take her, and who she really wants to be, as she documents the discoveries of AND WHILE WE WERE HERE.

And we're giving away three copies!

If you live in or near NYC and have been waiting for the chance to see a musical parody of the 1995 insta-sleeze classic Showgirls, then count yourself lucky, for the very thing you've yearned for will become a reality for you starting Friday December 6th at Theater 80 (80 St Marks Pl, New York, NY 10003).

That's right Showgirls! The Musical! is actually happening! The play will follow all the important plot points of the original film: Follow Nomi, a beautiful drifter with a secret past, as she journeys from stripper to showgirl in Las Vegas. What will Nomi sacrifice on her rise to fame? Who will she sleep with along the way? Will she ever like brown rice and vegetables? 

Oh steady my cheese-loving heart.

Showgirls! The Musical! is written and directed by Bob and Tobly McSmith, whose Bayside! The Musical!, the parody of Saved By The Bell, is also playing at Theatre 80 and features April Kidwell as Nomi Malone, Rori Nogee as Cristal Connors, John Duff as Kyle MacLachlan, Marcus Desion as Molly/James and Philip McLeod as Gay with Amanda Nicholas, Natalie Wagner and Tim Wessel as the Showgirls.

It features book, music, lyrics and direction by Bob and Tobly McSmith (Bayside! The Musical!, JonBenet! Murder Mystery Theater!). Scenic design is by Bryan Hartlett (Bayside! The Musical!), Costume design is by Marcus Desion (Bayside! The Musical!) and Lighting design is by Adam Lash (Bayside! The Musical!).

Performances will be held every Friday and Saturday in December (6-28) and all seats are $25. All shows begin at 10:30pm and a full bar is available before each performance (which probably helps set the mood).

And, as a special treat, double feature passes will be available for purchase for $40 which includes a ticket to Showgirls! The Musical! and Bayside! The Musical! on either the same night or two different nights (oh dear sweet mother of television nostalgia, my head is about to explode)

Believe it or not, Showgirls! The Musical! has been met with universal critical acclaim from The New York Times, Gawker,Entertainment Weekly, The New York Post, Logo, Slate, The Huffington Post, After Ellen, After Elton and Queerty, so yeah, there's a good chance you're going to enjoy yourself...in NYC...for $25.

If you're heading into Queens on an empty stomach, you might want to make a stop at McDowell's for two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions, on a bun with no seeds. That's what makes it different from Mickey D's.

Of course you're going to have to put up with Samuel L. Jackson robbing the place occasionally, but hell, who doesn't rob a fast food joint right?

And, according to a few Yelp reviews like this one:

1 Previous Review: Hide 4.0 star rating7/7/2012 

Disclaimer - Worked here back in the day...started by cleaning grease traps and worked my way up to cleaning tables...was two years away from the big bucks...assistant manager!!! Mr. McDowell enjoyed the reunion, he was so nostalgic he gave me ten percent off my Big Mick. Then some dude who looked like Sam Jackson started screaming and tried to jack the place. Some African cats who worked there did their thing and took Sam Jackson dude down on some Street Fighter 2 shit. So I got to enjoy my discounted Big Mick...it was a good day. 

Note: Out of 5 stars, minus 2 stars for Louie Anderson looking mofo at the counter checking my girl's cleavage, add 2 stars for the African security force, and minus 1 star for the jheri curl stain on the back of my white LeTigre polo (luckily, some Fabuloso did the trick). 

This place is well worth the stop.

Seriously, check out the rest of the Yelp reviews HERE.

I don't think a fast food place has been this revered since Mooby's.

Thanksgiving is next week and when I am inevitably asked what I am thankful for this year, I will bellow to the heavens "MST3K TURKEY DAY HAS RETURNED!!!!!!!" because that is the only thing that has made this craptastic year worth not OD'ing on Baby Aspirin for.

Yep, you read that paragraph correctly, Mystery Science Theater 3000 will be heading back into the nostalgic waters of bad movies once again thanks to the wonder that is the internet (www.MST3KTurkeyDay.com)...feel free to ignore that bit about my suicidal tendencies...

To kick off this event (and the 25th anniversary of the show) creator and point man for the first 4 and a half seasons, Joel Hodgson, is taking show suggestions via his Twitter Page in order to program the 6-movie marathon to the liking of the rabid fans (my picks: The Final Sacrifice, Catalina Caper, Cave Dwellers, Mitchell, Warrior of the Lost World and Werewolf).

For those of you too young to understand what a HUGE box of OMG this is, let me give you a little history lesson. On Nov. 28th 1991 the very first MST3K marathon took place from midnight, Thanksgiving Day until 6am Friday Nov 29th featuring 15 gloriously horrible movies: Ring of Terror, Cave Dwellers, Jungle Goddess, The Sidehackers, Rocketship X-M, Rocket Attack U.S.A., Time of the Apes, Wild Rebels, The Amazing Colossal Man, Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster, Pod People, Fugitive Alien, Catalina Caper, Daddy-O and It Conquered the World. This advent of what in my house would be known as "The Day Elizabeth Didn't Leave Her Room" continued unabated until 1995. In 1997 it reappeared for one year only while the show was on the Syfy channel but then went away once again and I have spent the last 16 years mourning for it.
