The Aliens are Coming...

It might be a few days away, but the leaking of Superbowl commercials is already starting. The first one I have for you is for the upcoming Tom Cruise, sci-fi epic, War of the Worlds. It may be a short teaser, but it certainly gets you excited.

War of the Worlds Teaser

While on the sci-fi thread of thought, I also have to say that I'm glad that Enterprise is finally canceled. The franchise has simply gone down hill since DS9. In fact, most of the DS9 seasons sucked, as well, but I did love those last two seasons. Maybe now, Paramount can take some time to rethink things and bring us back a series that we can be proud. The big test is to see if my wife likes it. She's definitely not a Star Trek fan, but watched the entire run of ST:TNG with me on DVD. That's definitely saying something for Picard and the gang. If a new series can capture her attention, then you are golden. Oh, and if you haven't seen it yet, go out and rent Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. It's a fun movie with a very neat visual style to it.



Building upon my hatred of Uwe Boll and his amazingly bad videogame-based movies, I just had to post this behind-the-scenes story on "Alone in the Dark". I think that after you read it, you'll understand why he's such a bad, bad man and should never make movies again.

On the technology front, it's amazing what people are doing with VR now. Here's a very strange clip of a virtual car interacting with objects in the real world. Not only is it an impressive achievement, but it hints at what the future may hold for videogames. Check it out here. You'll need Real Player or Real Alternative to watch it, though.

As I fade out for today, there's just one last bit of info I wanted to share with you. Did you know that roughly 80% of the employees at Microsoft's Washington HQ own portable MP3 players? That, in itself, isn't interesting, but when you throw in the fact that 80% of those owners have iPods, one can start to see the irony. I bet you Bill Gates isn't a happy camper right now, especially when he finds out that the Apple store nearby the MS campus can barely keep up with the demand. :-)

Oops, I almost forgot one last thing. If this new trailer is any indication, than Episode III might well end up being awesome. Enjoy!
