Cool Shit 1/5

Seems like the old west had its share of unsolved mysteries.

Seriously, we have government agencies keeping an eye on Elon Musk, right? I don't want another space shuttle space battle like we had in that Moonraker documentary.

Apparently Neil Blomkamp, the director of District 9, was working on "refreshing" the Alien series. Either on his own or with the blessing of the studio. No one is really sure. But he has some cool concept art to go along with it.

The most dangerous people/entities on/about the internet. Not sure if the list is the most interesting or if its the complete lack of respect for the list in the comments.

Movies and TV shows to get excited about in 2015.

Cool Shit 4/10

We're becoming the "all things Alec Baldwin" blog! Today's news: NBC might be considering him for late night television.

Aside from the effects, I thought District 9 was overrated. It's smash you in the face racism analogies didn't leave any room for nuances, and the second half of it played more like a bad Rambo sequel. So I don't have too much hope for Neil Blomkamp's new one, Elysium. But I'm sure there are people out there who are...



A look at what made Cheers arguably the greatest sit com of all time, and 10 episodes that prove it.

I bet a guy with a horrible personality but a big penis funded this study.

Listen, we all have our sexual quirks. Some people like physically toned women. Some like masturbating to women while driving at 90 miles an hour with their penis out the window. Who am I to judge?
