It’s about time that someone created a film that enhanced your watching-videos-at-work experience.
Chris Milk’s The Wilderness Downtown is more than just a music video for the Arcade Fire’s “We Used to Wait.” The HTML 5 project — which can only be viewed on Google Chrome — turns your whole computer screen into an interactive …
Just because Gary Kurtz said George Lucas took the Star Wars franchise in a different direction after ESB because of its lucrative licensing deals doesn’t necessarily mean we’re opposed to the molded action figures of our youth. I, for one, got sucked into the original trilogy because of them. I still remember the Kenner box sets …
In honor of Star Wars Month, I volunteered to painstakingly watch all six Star Wars movies and compile a list of gadget-like devices I spot in each one. I can promise you I will miss a few and I won’t know what some of them are supposed to be called, but I’ll be damned if I don’t watch all six episodes of one of the greatest film

This month, DC is publishing one-shot revivals of five of their old war series: Our Army at War, Weird War Tales, Our Fighting Forces, G.I. Combat and Star-Spangled War Stories. There aren’t many ongoing war comics being published these days–and all-ages war comics are a thing of the past–but from the ’50s to the ’80s, DC’s war series …

Despite rumors to the contrary, former Doctor Who Sylvester McCoy will not be starring in the title role of Peter Jackson’s upcoming The Hobbit… because he’s apparently in the running for another, less short, more powerful role in the movie instead.
BleedingCool cites “a 100% trustworthy source close to the situation,” and claims …
If you’re anxious to see what all the “4G” mobile broadband fuss is about but you don’t want to get locked into a two-year contract, Clearwire’s “Rover” service might be worth a look.
You purchase the “Rover Puck” cellular hotspot for $150 and then use it to share Clearwire’s 4G data connection with up to eight Wi-Fi-enabled devices. …

If you live in the US, UK, Mexico or Canada and have an Xbox Live membership, you may want to sit down for this. Starting November 1, Microsoft is increasing the price of Gold memberships from $50/year to $60/year in the US. 3-month memberships will jump from $20 to $25 and 1-month subscriptions will be …
Justin Long created quite a stir last week among nerds when he appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel show with a jailbroken iPhone. That in and of itself is nothing shocking. Jailbreaking your iPhone is legal nowadays but Long was the Mac guy for nearly four years in Apple’s unforgettable “I’m a Mac, I’m a PC” ad campaign. Our …
When the BBC’s Doctor Who returns for its next season in 2011, things will be different. Including, apparently, how many episodes are in a season, and how many seasons fans get a year. New showrunner Steven Moffat has announced that, instead of one thirteen-episode season a year, the format is going to switch to two seasons, of seven and …
