News: Opening game in 3D. First impressions.

I've been curious to watch one of these famed '3D' games for a while now. Last April at NAB, I attended several 3D panels and folks from ESPN suggested that one of the strongest experiences that would bring 3D into the home would be live sports. I've missed opportunities to watch the PGA Masters broacasts, and NCAA games, but being a hardcore Soccer (Futbol) fan, I've been most excited about this possibility. It did not disappoint, but not without some concessions. I will be as detailed as po...

News: Stuck Under the Bowl

First fill a bowl with water, then stand on a chair and place the rim of the bowl directly on the ceiling. Next push the broom stick on the bottom of the bowl to keep it there. Then ask someone to "just do a quick favor and hold it there for a sec", then take the chair away and they are left there with no way out but to let the bowl of water fall on them. I'l...

News: Cult Ritual

Cult Ritual are one of my favorite hardcore bands of the last few years. Hailing from Florida, their sound is a cross between 'Damaged-era' Black Flag, Bl'ast, and Poison Idea. Mean, dissonent, chaotic, and noisy. Everything i love about hardcore wrapped up in one. I don't think they are still together and I believe members are now in Neon Blud, Nazi Dust, and Slavescene. Also be sure to check Merchandise and Body Rot (both feature members of Cult Ritual). Most, if not all of their releases a...

News: Selling a Movie is Hard Work.

Having grown up with quite an addiction to movies I have always loved the Key Art Posters that sell the film.  Today movies, especially indies, are often sold by their DVD cover art.  Its quite talent to package a crappy movie with an awesome cover.  I particularly love the older movie posters that were created way before the advent of photoshop and digital cameras.  The amount of work that went into these posters is quite amazing and even though the movies might suck, the key art lives on he...
