Star Trek (2009)

Set phasers to RAD!
Star Trek made respectable.
Casting was perfect.

Personal favorite:
Karl Urban as “Bones” McCoy.
Best Star Trek ever.

About a year ago, friends and I shot a “Sweded” version of the sci-fi classic, “Aliens.” Due to some copyright problems, I recently had to re-edit and re-release it.

Here is the new and improved version, with better ending:

PART 1

PART 2

Check out this video from SeaWorld detailing some impressive (and bizarre) dolphin behavior. Can someone teach me how to blow bubble rings underwater?

Dammit!
Once again I’ve missed out on getting my hands on a decent pair of Reebok “Alien Stompers.”

Reebok “Alien Stompers” are the cool futuristic sneakers that Sigourney Weaver wore in the 1986 science fiction film “Aliens.”

1987: Reebok made a limited release of these sneakers. And I was too young and too broke to get my hands on them.

2003: They were re-released in a limited run (mostly in Japan). The best I could get were some brown suede ones. They’re cool, but you don’t really look like you’re ready to hand aliens their asses in these.

2007: Stupid “Freddy Kreuger” themed ones were released.

October 2008: Again, a limited-edition release of them (in Japan) with cool color mods. The stylish “space suit white” ones are by far the best. And they are nowhere to be found already. Too damn late, again. And that’s alright because I’m still broke and rent is more important than sneakers. Maybe.

On December 11, the Japanese Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute (Computational Neuroscience Laboratories) provided the press with these two sets of images. The top set of characters was shown to a test subject, and the bottom set was scanned from the brain of the test subject.

Yes – black and white image snapshots from the human mind.

By using fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging), the ATRI-CNL team was able to map bloodflow patterns in the visual cortex of test subjects. With the aid of software and voodoo, they were able to reconstruct the images “seen” in the mind of the test subjects.
Holy sh!t!

Super-cool technology we can expect to see from this:
• “Dream photography.”
• Witnesses producing mental photographs of perpetrators and crime scenes.
• Communication with the paralyzed/comatose.
• Espionage: photography of sensitive/classified materials from memories.
• Testing “psychic abilities” by photographing “visions.”
• Marketing development: learning what images “stick.”
• Real-to-mind artwork: photographing your artistic vision.

The Day the Earth Stood Still

Keanu Reeves comes
to Earth and gets all preachy.
With a big robot.

It lacked the key phrase;
no Klaatu Barada Nikto.
But had a cool orb.
