I’m excited for the new Conan the Barbarian movie. It was genetically designed to appeal to meat-head-dork metal-fiends like myself. Blood!, axes!, boobies! This fan made trailer takes actual footage from the movie and present itself in a manner that makes it undeniable to me. If this was released as an official red band trailer it’d be the best piece of marketing for the film yet.

The invisibility cloak is one of those things that probably should never come into being. Unlike that Potter kid, I don’t think we’re going to use it to stomp around a musty-ass old school. No sir. No ma’am. More likely people like Solid Snake are going to use it to sneak into the bedrooms of important people and put a snap into their neck. And then stare at the deceaseds’ wives and husbands as they shower. Unknowingly.

This deadly apparatus for booby-staring and neck-snapping is getting closer. Closer I say.

Marko Manev brings the world a delicious selection of minimalist Marvel posters. Has minimalism jumped the shark yet? I know I can’t get enough of it, but it has to be approaching critical mass. What’s the inversion? Excessivism? I’m eagerly awaiting that turn as well.

Anyways, hit the jump to check out Manev’s posters.

This sounds about right for a human interest story. Just recently an isolated Amazon tribe was captured on film. Now it’s thought that drug traffickers have ransacked their entire village. Sounds like every story about a yokel finding a rare creature and then blowing its brains out before scientists could get to it.

Because I’m a hippy liberal who watches Bill Maher while kissing my transgender significant other and eating organic cashews, I already saw this last Friday. If you’re a more balanced person and you don’t watch the show, you still need to see this rant of Neil deGrasse Tyson. Provided you love space and our continually diminishing focus on it saddens you.

It’s an epic rant.

Parents back in 1991 were friggin’ cheesed off, man. They had just bought Johnny Snotnose his first Nintendo Entertainment System. And now here comes a new  console that all the kids will want. Well guess what Mr. and Mrs. Smith, that’s what your dumb asses get for being late adopters!

You know how I got my SNES? I cried at Child World when my grandma took me there right near launch. Oh, I’m a bitch? Yeah well I was the first kid in my grade playing Super Mario World. So fuck you.

The trailer for Star Wars XXX has dropped, and it’s surprisingly…entertaining. All right so there’s no fucking, which means that it’s pretty much just a fan recreation of A New Hope. Still though. Rocks. Brainstorm: is this thing going to feature Luke/Leia fucking? That’ll really get off the Jaime/Cersei shippers.

Also, it features fucking Porkins. Anything  that features Porkins is ++ in my book.

Hit the jump for the trailer.

I’ve never logged into Second Life. I’d like to, just to see what’s going on. At this point though, it feels like coming into a millennia-long debate in the middle of it. Regardless of my interaction in this other world, it is doing quite fine. To the tune of $100 million a year.

360 Cities has a collection of 360 degree panoramics of photos taken in August, 1945 after the US deonated a nuclear bomb in Hiroshima. Through the power of technology, you can now manipulate these images. It’s creepy.
