By now, you’ve probably seen this strange video of Kirsten Dunst running around Tokyo clad in a tutu and offensive Japanese stereotypes.
Yes, I’m sure Mary Jane lovin’, anime fantisizin’, middle aged men everywhere are having the best day of their lives, but please excuse me as I have a WTF? moment.

The other day I read an interview with Terri Tatchell, the co-writer of District 9, in which she mentioned that she was thinking of adapting a short film for her next project. The film is called Terminus. It’s on YouTube.

It was only a few weeks ago that I was rushing to a Lower East Side movie theater for a special midnight screening, drunk out of my mind with @gilbertcruz, sucking back on grandpa’s old cough medicine as we cackled and giggled through The Thing. Note to self: Never cross Kurt Russell in Antarctica.

The direct-to-DVD animated feature Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths comes out today. It’s written by former Justice League of America writer Dwayne McDuffie, and features a bunch of plot points–and Easter eggs–that allude to comics of the past.

When I’m not wearing my Techland goggles, I’m just your average film buff. Or maybe that should be film snob. Either way.
And right at the top of my list as one of 2009’s best films is The Hurt Locker, the awesome, exhilarating day-to-day chronicling of a year in the life of a bomb-defusal unit in Iraq.
I’ve been waiting on …
Every day, it seems like we’re racing to cover more and more 3D movie news.
For starters, Avatar just passed the $200 million mark on IMAX 3D screens alone. Beyond that, there’s the uproar over the 3D Alice in Wonderland, and how Disney is trying to limit the film’s run on movie screens.
Far more uplifting to me is the …
Sunday, Dan Feyer of New York City was crowned the reigning American Crossword Tournament Champ after a weekend-long event of wordplay. The 32-year-old pianist records his speed while solving day’s most prominent puzzles – he finishes the heralded New York Times puzzle in about an average of 3.5 minutes – and logs his daily progress …
Yesterday, the San Diego Union-Tribune wrote a lengthy article about the could-be end to Comic-Con’s run in its coastal birthplace.
The holy grail of all fabulously nerdy cons, Comic-Con began in San Diego in 1970 and has since herded in attendees, many in costume. Last year, more than 125,000 people swarmed the convention space, but …
The list seems long this week doesn’t it? It’s a big week for the Events with Siege and Blackest Night taking the top billing. With so many books coming out it’s going to be hard to narrow down a pull list but come back tomorrow to see what books we’re reading here at Techland.

Wow. Could this be the first huge TV hit via @twitter?
The absolutely hilarious @ShitMyDadSays has been optioned as a TV pilot, and what initially seemed like a horrible idea, of transforming web site text into primetime TV, has turned into something utterly captivating with the casting of William Shatner as the sort-of-senile / …
