Great News: Dead Satellite To Hit The U.S. Tomorrow Posted: 23 Sep 2011 03:30 PM PDT So, by the way, apparently a school bus-sized now-dead satellite that's been orbiting the Earth for 20 years is about to fall from the sky this weekend and plummet into the United States. According to NASA, the 6 1/2-ton Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite should have fallen to Earth this afternoon, but it's traveling slower than originally thought. Therefore, those of us here in the United States can expect to be hit with debris some time tomorrow [...]

Comic Review: Warlord of Mars: Dejah Thoris #6 Posted: 23 Sep 2011 12:50 PM PDT Warlord of Mars: Dejah Thoris #6 Based on the writings by Edgar Rice Burroughs Written by Arvid Nelson Art by Carlos Rafael Colors by Carlos Lopez Letters by Marshall Dillon Covers by Joe Jusko, Paul Renaud, Alé Garza Dynamite Entertainment Release Date: September 8, 2011 Cover Price: $3.99 Warlord of Mars: Dejah Thoris #6 is the beginning of a five-part arc called "Pirate Queen of Mars."

Movie Review: Warrior Posted: 23 Sep 2011 12:13 PM PDT Warrior Directed by Gavin O'Conner Starring Tom Hardy, Joel Edgerton, Nick Nolte, Jennifer Morrison, Frank Campana, Kevin Dunn and Kurt Angle Release Date: September 9, 2011 Warrior is a convincing look at a father and his two sons drowning in innumerable personal grief and universal issues, which result in each of them finding out who they truly are and were. Here is a film about the exploration of our true selves disguised as a mixed martial arts (MMA) movie. It is a visceral and blunt exploration into the anatomy of the alpha male. The subjects are the Conlons, from a working-class Pennsylvania town, who attempt to attain through any means necessary an anchor in which they can cling to when the emergence of reality becomes so widespread and ruthless. The Conlons, Paddy (Nick Nolte) along with his two estranged sons Brendan and Tommy (Joel Edgerton and Tom Hardy), decided to dismiss reality and walk away from it, never imagining it would come back and eventually start a war between father and sons and brother against brother [...]

Comic Review: Vampirella #9 Posted: 23 Sep 2011 10:26 AM PDT Vampirella #9 Written by Eric Trautmann Art by Fabiano Neves Letters by Marshall Dillon Colors by Marchelo Maiolo Covers by Jelena Kevic-Djurdjevic, Paul Renaud, Fabiano Neves, Ale Garza Dynamite Entertainment Release Date: August 31, 2011 Cover Price: $3.99 First off, let me be honest. I'm not a consistent reader of this character, but I used to be. I was happy to be able to read and review Vampirella #9 since it used to be one of my favorite comics. Over the years, Vampirella has had major upheavals to her origin story, so much so that it got a bit confusing at times. Eric Trautmann has been very mysterious about his version until this book. I got a few glimpses but no detailed information which, truthfully, is intriguing. Fabiano Neves brings a starker image of Vampirella than many artists have in the past...quite a few have given her a more bimbo-like appearance, but I was happy to see her dressed to kick ass, not for a lingerie shoot [...]

NASA’s Kepler Spacecraft Discovers Real-Life ‘Star Wars’ Planet Tatooine Posted: 23 Sep 2011 08:40 AM PDT Over three decades ago, George Lucas gave Star Wars to the world, and in that movie there was a planet called Tatooine that had two suns, which of course was just absurd and ridiculous science fiction at the time. Now, just in time for the release of the movies on Blu–ray, NASA's Kepler spacecraft has discovered the first real–life circumbinary planet, which means it orbits two stars. You can read more below, as well as check out a video about the discovery. The planet, being called Kepler–16b, was found 200 light–years from Earth in the Kepler–16 system. And though it does have two suns, that's about where the similarities to Tatooine end. The planet is cold and gaseous and about the size of Saturn, with its stars about 60% and 20% the size of our own sun, respectively. The planet orbits its two suns every 229 days, and it's not thought that any life would be found there...though it's not completely out of the question—because the two suns are cooler than our own sun, water could possibly exist. [...]

Hobbit Fight! Elijah Wood Challenges ‘Lord Of The Rings’ Co-Star Dominic Monaghan To Fantastic Fest Battle Posted: 23 Sep 2011 07:01 AM PDT Every year at Fantastic Fest, they hold an event called Fantastic Debate where celebrities, filmmakers, and film critics engage in a head–to–head battle. First, they have themselves a podium debate over a specific topic, and then they move to the boxing ring, where words are not necessary. This year brings with it an interesting little match–up. Elijah Wood, star of everything from the new FX hit series, Wilfred, to films like Lord of the Rings, Sin City and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, threw down a challenge to LOST star and his LOTR co–star, Dominic Monaghan. Continue reading for more and to check out videos of Wood's challenge and Monaghan's response. It began with Wood recording a very professional wrestling–worthy video, challenging Monaghan to the bout. Wood definitely brings it with the trash talking (possibly assisted by beneficial qualities of some liquid courage). Monaghan's response proves that he's getting in shape...kinda...but he might not be quite as confident. [...]
