Quotes

Elly: Forrest is online? Good, then he can pick up Trivia, cause Bill sucked it up last week.

Phil: It’s like in Alaska, when they raised the tax on alcohol by 30 cents, and the incidences of alcohol poisoning dropped by some ridiculous amount. That’s all it takes, that 30 cents, to get people to stop drinking themselves to death.. makes you ask what kind of life you live if that’s the case.
Erik: No, that only shows how much longer it takes Alaskans to get alcohol poisoning on 30 cents worth less alcohol.

Phil: Bill, why are you looking at him like that? That is a scornful face.
Erik: What did I do?
Phil: That face is more like, what didn’t you do?
Erik: I’m sorry, did I fuck your dog?
Bill: Are you admitting you’re a dog-fucker?
Erik: I try to only fuck dogs I know.

(Sep. 22, 2010) — Aviation history was made when the University of Toronto’s human-powered aircraft with flapping wings became the first of its kind to fly continuously. The “Snowbird” performed its record-breaking flight on August 2 at the Great Lakes Gliding Club in Tottenham, Ont.

Two remarkable new species of horned dinosaurs have been found in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, southern Utah. The giant plant-eaters were inhabitants of the “lost continent” of Laramidia, formed when a shallow sea flooded the central region of North America, isolating the eastern and western portions of the continent for millions of years during the Late Cretaceous Period. One of the dinosaurs has 15 horns on its head.

The rumors around a new Godzilla movie have been swirling for years, but it wasn’t until recently that they began to look realistic. Starting in August of last year, talk began that Legendary Pictures was rebooting the franchise after Roland Emmerich’s disastrous take on the character back in 1998. The rumor was then confirmed this past March and then concept art for the creature appeared back in July. To say that development of the project has been moving at a snail’s pace would be an understatement, but perhaps it’s a good sign that they’re taking their time with it.

Gavin Hood, the director of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, may be directing a film version of the extemely popular sci-fi novel, Ender’s Game. Don’t despair yet. For those who enjoy Orson Scott Card’s work and do not think that it will be improved by a spiral-sliced nuclear reactor, there is a difference between the production of Ender’s Game and Wolverine. Card wrote the script to the movie, and Hood re-wrote it.

Level Up and Unlock Achievements By Skiing in Colorado. Starting this November five popular ski slopes in Colorado, Utah and California will start tracking powder time to award skiers achievements pins and the ability to level up. Every time you use your pass or ticket your stats will automatically be captured and uploaded to the EpicMix website.

Turning the solitary world of PlayStation 2 classic Shadow of the Colossus into a movie, as some people are attempting to do, is a tricky prospect. How to turn a series of 16 battles against giant furry foes into a two-hour film? According to a recently published interview with Kevin Ping Chang, production exec at the company adapting Shadow of the Colossus, the filmmakers are taking lessons learned from movies like WALL·E and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World into account during the big screen adaptation process.

America might be Halo and Civ obsessed now, but there’s a brand new Pokémon out in Japan. It’s already been beaten, the ending uploaded for all to see.

Marvel announced a while back that they’re planning on making films starring some of their B-list characters, and Internet wonks went bonkers trying to imagine who’d get the nod. Luke Cage? Shang-Chi? Man-Thing? Colleen Wing and Misty Knight? No, it looks like it’s gonna be Black Widow. “We’ve already started discussions with Scarlett Johansson about the idea of a solo movie and have begun putting together concepts,” said Feige. “But The Avengers comes first.”

Ever seen an awesome prop on your favorite sci-fi tv show and thought, “Can I haz that?” Well, your wish is about to be granted—IF your favorite show happens to be Stargate SG-1, that is. On September 25th and 26th, Stargate Artifacts will hold an auction at the Experience Music Project | Science Fiction Museum in Seattle of 50 original props from the show, including an ACTUAL Stargate from the pilot episode.

A woman from Michigan is accused of traveling to Amherst to illegally have sex with a teenager she met while playing an Internet video game called “World of Warcraft.” Law enforcement officials called the arrest of Angie L. Jenkins, 35, highly unusual, because she is believed to be the first woman to be charged in Western New York with the crime of using the Internet to entice an underage person into sexual activity.

Close to half of Apple Inc iPhone users in the United States would be “very interested” in dumping AT&T Inc for Verizon Wireless as a service provider, according to a study from professionals service firm Deloitte. “If another carrier were to pick up the iPhone, you would probably see a number of defections,” said Ed Moran, director of insights and product innovation at Deloitte.

Are you ready for films to stop being made in 3-D? Well you are in luck The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn will reportedly not be filmed in 3D. Speaking to Gossip Cop, a representative for studio Summit Entertainment confirmed that the final two films in the series would not be produced using 3D cameras or technology.
