Exit Through the Gift Shop – a Banksy Film
Most people know about the pop culture hero and street artist Banksy now. The mysterious man’s identity is still unknown, but his influence certainly isn’t. Banksy is hip. A-listers pay big bucks for his stuff. There “might” be a film. I say “might” because I imagine it’s hard to verify that Banksy is involved. If […]

Offical Chinatown Wars trailer for iPhone and iPod Touch
Rockstar are one of the many serious game publishers pushing onto the iPod Touch and iPhone platforms. We’ve also got the strong rumours today that Apple are talking to EA about supporting the iSlate / iPad / iTablet on the gaming side of things. For now, though, let’s be content with the official trailer for […]
Justice League battles in Two Earths clip
We’re coming up to DC’s release of the Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths straight to DVD/Blu-ray movie. In it the Justice League finds itself coping with a parallel world, with heroes and villains with similar powers but yet everything isn’t the same. The plot gets going when a good Lex Luthor turns up from […]
Mini robot helicopter
This short video showcases a rather funky little robot helicopter. It rather stumbles around – except flying – learning when it bashes into a wall, noticing when it’s knocked to the ground but trying always to keep the twin blades whirling so it can keep on flying (or take off again). The idea is simple; […]
Star Wars rendered entirely in HTML 5 and CSS
HTML 5 can’t come soon enough for some of us although I suspect there’s still going to be a gap in capabilities between what it can do and what Flash can do. Flash is evil. Guillermo Esteves is now famous. He decided to explore just how wide that gap might be. His project was to […]
Devin Schoeffer’s Little Slice of Paradise
Not much to say about these images except – coool. Artist Devin Schoeffer is the talent behind these. Did I say how jealous I get of people with artistic skills? Hat tip to Creattica for the nod towards Devin in the first place.
There’s a fan made Left 4 Dead movie
Fans are brilliant. Left 4 Dead is brilliant. Wouldn’t it be brilliant if the two did something together – like a Left 4 Dead fan movie. Guess what! It’s happening. There’s this website and even a Facebook fan page. The four survivors are Maryana Cotelici as Zoey, Alpha Ariesmaximus as Louis, Gabriel Cash as Francis […]
Darabont’s Walking Dead
Lots of geeky sites happy with today’s news that Frank Darabont has been giving the go-ahead to film a pilot episode of The Walking Dead. The Walking Dead is a well respected comic from Robert Kirkman. It’s one of those smart zombie page-turns that focuses on the human challenges rather than the pesky not-dead-enough bodies. […]
