Matthew Vaughn confirmed as director of ‘STAR WARS: EPISODE VII’ by Jason Flemyn?

Christ only knows, this report is going to be discounted six minutes after I go to bed tonight. By the time I awaken, it’ll be a joke of an article. Whatever. It’s Episode VII, I’m stoked, I’m going to cover it. Matthew Vaughn was one of the directors rumored to be in the running for the next Space Battle flick, and he may have been confirmed by frequent collaborator Jason Flemyng. Loose lips!

SpaceX founder has plans to send 80,000 Earthlings to MARS.

Fuck yeah. Space X’s founder Elon Musk has revealed plans to send a fair amount of Earthlings to the Red Planet. Bradbury be proud. For a cool $500,000 you can be one of these first colonials, granting yourself the right to stomp around and blight Mars with the footprint of man. It isn’t an attainable amount for a fledgling academic/aspiring educator like myself, but no one wants a bipolar mess to be one of the first people to traverse the stars anyways. Send up our celebrities and capable minds, let the Martians know we are sexy and intelligent. Then unleash me upon them. I will reek of bad decisions and caffeine. I will eat their sand, bask in their solar rays!

Nintendo charging extra to change channels with the Wii U gamepad. Infinite lulz.

Hey man! The Nintendo Wii isn’t just a late entrance into the HD game. It isn’t just an extravagant joke of a controller. It can also be used to watch television. In a pretty rad twist of synergy, Nintendo lets you use their tablet-controller-thing to change the channels. For a cost! God knows they haven’t already sliced you for an excessive device already. Now you have to pay more to unlock all of its capabilities.

The fee isn’t a ridiculous sum, but the premise itself is absurd.

Rick McCallum didn’t make jump from LUCASFILM to Disney. No probs right here.

There is a great moment in the Making of the Phantom Menace where Rick McCallum and the rest of the crew is watching a first cut. As the camera fixes on McCallum’s face, you can see realization slowly wash over him. He begins to realize that his Dark Master has made a flaming pile of excrement. Instead of mentioning this to Sir Lucas, Ricky decides to continue doing what he had been up to for years. Washing the Lord’s balls. So no, I’m not sad that McCallum has “retired”, and in fact I’m pretty fucking excited he is gone.

First official ‘STAR TREK DESCENT INTO DARKNESS’ hints at villain.

Aiiight. I’m tired of attempting to guess the villain in Star Trek Descent Into Darkness. I spent a good amount of time in my alchemy lab, attempting to brew concoctions consisting of Diet Mountain Dew, powdered energy drink, and arm pit sweat that would allow me to slough the flesh and infiltrate the Abrams compound. These mad ales nearly worked, but every time I got close I would run into a wall around the palace generated by Abrams and Lindelof’s Smugness. A thick, impenetrable wall of self-satisfaction and emo kid glasses. Thus, I relented. You and me must sate our curiosity on morsels like this, the first official plot synopsis for the flick.

Cassini captures Saturn’s enormous space swagger.

G’damn! Saturn is quite large. This gorgeous picture was snapped back in August by Cassini, and it captures the true hulking might of the planet named after a video game system. That’s where it came from, right? Shame it couldn’t have been named after a more wonderful gaming system, but hey. Who could have known?
