Like Star Trek for its realism?

Science & Technology

Seems like someone is clearly mistaken:

<omega> i like star trek because it’s actually pretty realistic. the technology is fiction, but it follows real physics
<Kuiper> In Star Trek, whenever there are torpedoes or phaser fire hitting a ship, you can hear the explosions even though they’re in space. How is that “real physics?”
<omega> in space, explosions are actually louder
<omega> because there is no air to get in the way
<omega> dumbass (Source)

Imagine a film trying to be realistic and offer absolutely no sound effect in space. Probably made a pretty boring film that could’ve belong to the silent film era.

Video: Mad TV’s Juno parody

uncategorized

In this sequel, Juno (Crista) kills a homeless man and has conversations full of inane pop-cultured nonsense.

Mad TV - Juno II (Movie Parody)

I like Juno actually although it’s been criticized so many times. It’s unrealistic but it’s still nice to watch for the dialogues. If you want realism, go have your own baby.

Brokeback Mountain star Heath Ledger is dead

Uncategorized

TMZ has learned that 2006 Academy Award nominee Heath Ledger has died in NY.

He was found dead in his bed in one of his residences in Soho by his housekeeper at 3:35 PM ET today. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ they believe it was not a crime, adding that prescription pills were found near his body.

According to NYPD a masseuse arrived at Ledger’s apartment and was let in by a housekeeper. When Ledger didn’t answer his bedroom door, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened it and found him unconscious. They attempted to wake him; when they couldn’t, they called 911.

We’re told when paramedics responded, the actor was in full cardiac arrest. They attempted to perform CPR on him, but were unsuccessful. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

How did George Lucas come up with the name for R2-D2?

Uncategorized

Ever wondered how did George Lucas come up with the name for R2-D2?

Rumor has it that George Lucas and a co-worker were editing American Graffiti, when a co-worker asked Lucas for “Reel Two, Dialog Two”, which is abbreviated “R2D2”. Lucas supposedly wrote down the abbreviation and used it as the name of the now famous droid in Star Wars.

Sacha Baron Cohen retires Borat and Ali G

Uncategorized

Sacha Baron Cohen decides to retire Borat and Ali G. I’m not too surprised though, after all the whole idea of both characters is to catch people at their most unaware times. And since Borat and Ali G got so popular, it’s probably hard for him to continue his act.

RIP Borat And Ali G

Sacha Baron Cohen is retiring the outrageously anti-Semitic, homophobic Kazakh journalist Borat as well as his alter ego, aspiring rapper Ali G.

Cohen readily admits he is more comfortable talking in the guise of the characters he has created, but unfortunately for him, both Ali G and Borat have had their day. Too many people know them and he reluctantly acknowledges that he can no longer retreat behind their personas.

“When I was being Ali G and Borat I was in character sometimes 14 hours a day and I came to love them, so admitting I am never going to play them again is quite a sad thing,” the 36-year-old actor-comedian says in the British newspaper’s Friday edition. “It is like saying goodbye to a loved one. It is hard, and the problem with success, although it’s fantastic, is that every new person who sees the Borat movie is one less person I ‘get’ with Borat again, so it’s a kind of self-defeating form, really.”

“It’s upsetting, but the success has been great and better than anything I could have dreamed of.”

The most insane freakin’ trailer I’ve ever seen!

Uncategorized

Japan’s new action flick Kataude mashin gâru attempts to glorify gore coming 2008. More weapons to kill all the Yakuza (those secret society guys). The trailer features an innocent-looking girl who obtain a machine gun to be part of her arm. It features ninjas (a must), tempura (I like), sushi (gets better), chainsaws, flying guillotine (WTF), drill bra (quite creative) and more revenge.

Perhaps NSFW. The drill bra’s worth watching.

Oh man, I think I’m so lazy I even stole the title from Digg.

Watch out - it’s Spider-pig!

Uncategorized

Haa! I knew it someone would remix Spider-pig song from The Simpsons Movie. Love the movie, love the soundtrack. I almost wanted to get the soundtrack just for Spider-pig song. But well, we can have it on YouTube and it’s not like, such as, like, I’m going to going to put that on my iPod or something.

Spider Pig Song (Techno Remix) [Full Song] - enVias ft Homer

Spider-pig, Spider-pig

Does whatever Spider-pig does

Can he swing from a web, no he can’t, he’s a pig!

More than 5 minutes of delightful pure madness. Mindless techno but amuses me quite a bit nevertheless.
