Latest Green Lantern trailer explains mythology
I rather like the latest Green Lantern trailer. It’s not because I need another trailer to convince me that I want to go see the movie – that’s no longer needed. I like it because it introduces some of the world mythology for people who need to be reminded or discover it for the first […]

Did you know Vader was into a bit of salsa every now and then? It’s true. The dark Jedi / Sith Lord gets a bad wrap but this video shows him entertaining the folks at the Andrew Jackson Senior Center in the Bronx. Hmm. Wait a minute… this may be an imposter. I thought he […]

Stunning Lego Pegasus actually moves
This Lego sculpture is impressive. It isn’t that the design is elegant and graceful; full of curves, which is very hard to do with Lego.
