By Mark O’Neill Contributing Writer, [GAS] Queen’s University in Belfast is starting Britain’s first Jedi course – but they are quick to stress that lightsabers are not provided. That’s lame right away – what kind of a Jedi doesn’t have a lightsaber? That’s like Dirty Harry without his .44 Magnum. The course is called ‘Feel […]
Produced as a graduation project by several students from the “Gobelins” French animation school, Oktapodi is a short computer animated film featuring two young octopus lovers fighting to escape from the hands of a brutal deliveryman. Video after the jump.
By Mark O’Neill Contributing Writer, [GAS] The sight of Harrison Ford running around cracking his whip must have inspired them because now the four original Ghostbusters are set for a comeback, nearly 20 years since they last saved New York from ectoplasmic slime. Columbia has hired two scriptwriters from the Ricky Gervais sitcom “The Office” […]
Directed by John Moore and featuring Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis, the movie adaption of Max Payne – the game, will apparently be released on October 17, 2008. If the movie is as any good as the trailer looks, I think we’ll be in for a great time at the big screen. What do you […]

Penned by Aaron Sorkin, who created The West Wing and wrote the Tom Hank’s vehicle Charlie Wilson’s War, the as of yet untitled Facebook movie will focus on Mark Zuckerberg, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes, the founders of the popular social networking site.

This Star Wars Landspeeder replica was designed by a very talented dude named Daniel Deutsch. The near-perfect masterpiece was built from scratch using molded fiberglass and mounted on a custom aluminum chassis. The vehicle is powered by an electric drive system, which can take its passenger near light speed (or 25 mph). Additional pictures after […]

Offered by online retailer Forbidden Planet international, the Star Wars MP3 player features a slick, black design, 512MB of internal memory and an integrated FM radio.
