Your daily Inflationary Cosmology lesson for the day: proving multiple universes exist.
Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy is a great take on Batman, but it's still flawed. What started out as an urban "realistic" take on the superhero, devolved into a traditional comic book superhero movie by the end. The first movie had some shaky legs but inspirational ideas; the second movie went too long and spun the focus off the best character two thirds into the movie; and the third just got preposterous for preposterous sake. But you may disagree. You may love these movies. And if you do, these fan theories about them might make you relive them all over again.

The moral of the story? The magazine Cosmo might not be the best source for an enjoyable evening if you're a lesbian.
I'm not sure if this guy is saying he came up with this idea for playing all the samples from Paul's Boutique or not; I'm fairly certain I have a CD of these songs, and have had it for awhile now, but it's still cool to listen to some of the music that made the album what it is today.
Latest trailer for Constantine, a new show for NBC based on a comic book that people seem fairly excited for:
Popular Mechanics wants to help you brew beer, efficiently and affordably.
15 years ago The Blair Witch Project was released; read what it did for film and how successful it was, spawning the found footage genre we basically have today.
A story of skydiving and heroism.

Words for those times when you don't know what else to say.
At first glance, the headline, "Quentin Tarrantino's Science Fiction film could e seriously weird" is enticing, and generates a lot of excitement. But after a little thought, (and reading the article) you might say to yourself, "that's really not that big of a proclamation, nor is it that boastful of a statement. Especially once you realize NOTHING IS SAID AT THIS LINK THAT IS ANYTHING WEIRD.
This guy never really defines his criteria too well for what makes a beer overrated, so take it as nothing more than a personal list of beers he's angry at when a lot of people speak to him about them, or order them a lot in his presence. And drink what you want.
Traveling to Sierra Leone or Liberia anytime soon? Might want to rethink the plans unless you've built up an immunity to Ebola.
Twelve "high concept" shows that looking back on them, were not high concept at all. In fact, it's amazing Hollywood execs green light stuff like this. Also, I'm physically ill from watching the Automan clip.
Trailer for the last movie in the Hobbit trilogy. You know, that small book that set up the Lord of the Rings trilogy that was about the end of that world? This is the problem with creating prequels to movies where the stakes couldn't get higher. We know who survives. And based on the characters not being in the later books, we can kind of figure out who dies. So that takes the dramatic tension away. Plus, sure, you can use as many somber songs and gravelly voiced narrators to make something serious - but the battle in this movie simply doesn't hold the same stakes as the one on The Return of the King. I just don't understand why decisions like this are made sometimes.

Space is a weird, wild place that holds billions of mysteries for us to probably never solve.
Collective nouns are fun because they basically make no sense (a murder of crows?). So have fun the with these correct collective nouns of the supernatural realm.
So The Intruders, the new BBC America show, has aired. Here's a review. Seems like it could be a good show. Unfortunately Wayward Pines, the FOX/M Night Shyamalan collaboration also got reviewed, and that doesn't fare so well.
Whoa. Who would have guessed that one of the more buzzed about things from this year's Comic Con was going to be the new Mad Max movie trailer? You might think that's crazy, but that's because you haven't seen the trailer yet. Enjoy...

Done with those Altoids? Don't throw away the tin! Use it to make your own personal survival kit.

News of a Manimal movie from Will Ferrell and Adam McKay has brought up mixed emotions.

Sometimes deleted scenes out of movies are deleted with good reason. Though I can't believe Lucas cut the "silent communication" scene. It seems to go with the rest of the horrible decisions he made.
Sun Ra (nee Herman Blount) was an interesting figure in the music scene of the 60s. And did you know he taught a class at Berkley? And that you can get the syllabus and hear one of his lectures here?
Though cannibal fetishism is a real, disturbing thing, this case of a man possibly trying to meet and eat a 14 year old girl goes beyond it (if that's possible) and into the world of potential arrests for thought crimes.
Looking for a new series to watch? One that doesn't have a bandwagon of fans? One that you can say you heard about (relatively) first? Enjoy this trailer for The Intruders...
A look at slang for sexual acts and relations, though at this point, haven't we basically commandeered every word to mean something sexual in a slang-like way? Of course my favorite is "taking a ride on the slitty slitty bang bang." Which I just made up.
The sad story of the dying art of pick pocketing. Well, sad if you are a pick pocket. It's obviously an art. A criminal, illegal art.
Homeland: Season 4 is out this October. I bailed after season 2 and its inconsistencies. It seems like I goat away just when I should have. Regardless, if you're a fan, here's a trailer:
And finally RIP James Garner. If you have the time, watch The Great Escape today. If not, at least watch this montage of awesome opening answering machine cold opens from The Rockford Files.

But if it's a secret, how does anyone know where it is? The CIA is doing a poor job with its museum apparently.

Giant hole in Siberia found. I enjoy the story of scientists making their way to it, as that's how every monster story starts - with scientists poking around where they shouldn't - like a sudden, giant hole in Siberia.
Is it as frightening to you as it is to me that there were people who held significant responsibility thought that shooting missiles at the moon was a good idea?
Good lord does this movie about a Ouija Board look bad. And seriously, are they suggesting it's a remake of Witch Board, clearly the superior Ouija Board movie?

It seems as though the Russians recently got their hands on a Tesla biography and have embraced the man's ideas.

Disaster mapping is an invaluable tool to assess damage to cities, like say when a certain, delicious white giant comes around:
While I'm sure DARPA has presented some sane ideas that have kept the country somewhat safe, these examples of projects they have funded in their history makes me question them somewhat.
I think we can safely say the biggest question from this new Sharknado 2 clip is why is that one guy carrying a ginormous bat?
