Elon Musk 10/21/12:

One of our competitors, Orbital Sciences, has a contract to resupply the International Space Station, and their rocket honestly sounds like the punch line to a joke. It uses Russian rocket engines that were made in the ’60s. I don’t mean their design is from the ’60s—I mean they start with engines that were literally made in the ’60s and, like, packed away in Siberia somewhere.

Today:

A private Orbital Sciences-built cargo launch to the International Space Station ended in a fiery explosion just seconds after liftoff Tuesday night

Step one in releasing a special edition Blu-ray release is a kick-ass new cover. And with the explosion of pop culture art happening in almost every major city, there are plenty of talented artists who are up to the task.

Sony knows this and they recruited the premiere pop culture art gallery, Los Angeles’ Gallery 1988, to curate brand new covers for 16 different classic films. Artists like Tom Whalen, James Flames, Joey Spiotto, Anthony Petrie, Jeff Boyes and others created covers for films such as Superbad, The Karate Kid, Taxi Driver, Tommy, Drive, The Raid Redemption, and Stripes, and several others. Below, see all 16 Gallery 1988 Blu ray covers.

Thanks to Entertainment Weekly for these images. Mouse over each for the artists name.

According to the site, you can exclusively pre-order these on Best Buy.com. Just search the title of the movie. It looks like they’ll be released November 23, just in time for Black Friday.

Some interesting bits of trivia I learned from the gorgeous new coffee table book, Star Wars Costumes:

1. George Lucas insisted on all costumes having no visible fasteners.

2. Luke's Tatooine pants are colorless Levi's.

3. One of the Duros in the Cantina scene is wearing a costume from Escape from the Planet of the Apes.

4. Lucas ordered that the Hoth Rebel uniforms be destroyed so that they could not be reused on other films.

5. Children were dressed in Hoth Rebel uniforms and placed in the back of the hangar to make it look bigger.

6. Yoda's face is partially based on Albert Einstein.

7. A stuntman suffered a broken arm when he accidentally fell into the Sarlacc.

8. Leia's slave bra was modeled in wax, kept in a ice chest, and then placed on her body to be formed as it warmed with her body heat.

9. Lando's guard helmet was inspired by a baseball glove.

10. The Emperor is played by a woman in The Empire Strikes Back, and her eyes were replaced by a chimpanzee's eyes in postproduction.

The book is about as great as a coffee table can get. It's oversized, but not absurdly heavy. The photographs are large, unmarred by text, and make even the simplest costumes look like holy relics:



Every costume is accompanied by lengthy descriptions of their creation and glamorous photos, with the more complex costumes getting several pages of coverage, and in some cases foldouts:



Pilot and skiff guard helmets are gathered for comparison:



And there are even costumes from deleted scenes:



The 232-page hardcover is currently 38% off at Amazon and comes out tomorrow.

Slate:

Of all of Uber’s numbers, one is particularly important: $90,766. In a late-May post on its blog, Uber cited $90,766 as the median annual income of a driver for UberX in New York City.
...
In several months of reporting on Uber, I have yet to come across a single driver earning the equivalent of $90,766 a year. Those I’ve spoken with report that they gross around $1,000 a week after commission and sales tax—but before gas and other expenses—for annual income closer to $50,000. And despite broadcasting the $90,766 figure far and wide, Uber has so far proved unable to produce one driver earning that amount.

Will Smith is one of those actors who I think we all secretly are waiting for a "good" movie from. There was a time when he was the go-to guy for big, epic, fun movies. But his last few outings have been awful (After Earth, blah), but I, personally, always want to keep my hopes high that we have not yet seen the best of Will Smith. Though Fresh Prince was a high water mark that many would find hard to surpass.

Even though we have not heard from the actor in some time, seems we have our first new trailer for the new Will Smith movie, Focus.

(YouTube Link)

The problem I am having wih Focus from what I have seen so far is, people have lost the idea of what makes Will Smith movies work when they actually work. They have to be fun. This "serious" Will Smith thing takes away some of what makes him so likable in the first place. Hopefully, Focus will pack a punch and put Smith on the map.

I kind of like the dude.

These rare, celebrity candids (with a few impromptu poses in natural situations) are unusual in that many of the shots catch personalities in groups or pairs that the public doesn't typically associate together. Like the photo above, they are refreshing in their spontaneous, informal feel. They evoke reflection of a simpler time, in which Photoshop and unrealistic standards of beauty and body image for both sexes weren't yet the norm.

Get ready for an amazing music video. OK Go released the video for their new song today: “I Won’t Let You Down.” The innovative video features kaleidoscopic Busby Berkeley-style dance formations in what appears to be one continuous take, although I can’t picture how they did it. The credits list one cameraman, Makoto Okuguchi, plus a “Multi-Copter Pilot,” Kenji Yasuda. The band members are each riding a UNI-CUB personal mobility device, previously featured on Neatorama. I am looking forward to the “making of” video. -via Viral Viral Videos

Update: According to OK Go singer Damian Kulash, the video was recorded at half-speed, and this is the camera setup.

It is crazy to think that a movie that took years to write and direct and produce can often be summed up in one single, minimalist frame of artwork. One picture that grabs the entirety of the movie and squeezes itself down to tell its story using no words and a single image. Yet the best artists seem to be able to do this ease, and have a lot of fun in the process.

Someone wrote me this week and pointed out this 10 Minimalist Horror Movie Posters list to me, and knowing I was a huge fan of horror, they asked me if I could identify all 10 movies. Well, of course I did! But I think that stands as more of a testimony to how astute the posters are, and not my overall horror prowess.

Check out the list for yourself and see how well you do.

Life moves faster as you get older, and there are biological reasons why. Your internal clock slows down while the rest of the world seems to speed up. Your brain remembers significant events, but the rest of the time that passes is a blur. As daily life becomes more mundane, there are fewer events to remember, which causes you to underestimate time. Source

Fake art can be detected because of nuclear bombs. Strontium-90 and cesium-137 are isotopes that didn’t exist in nature before nuclear explosions, so any piece of artwork containing these elements that’s supposed to be made before 1945 is a forgery. Source

You guys might not know this, but I am quite literally the biggest fan of the 1990 Kevin-Bacon-fighting-giant-underground-worms vehicle, Tremors, that exists on this planet or any other for that matter. Go ahead, ask me literally anything about any of the movies (or even the short-lived TV show) that I don’t already know. You can’t do it, can you? Like I said…

So because I am such a big fan of the Tremors series (the biggest!), I actually follow the franchise on Facebook, despite the fact that the last incarnation, The Legend Begins, came out some 10 years ago and was also a soggy floor turd of a movie that should be flushed down Satan’s fiery toilet of Hell. In any case, my intense, fanboyish dedication to the franchise that spawned the greatest direct-to-video sequel of all time, the term Ass Blasters, and the acting career of Reba Mcentire has finally paid off, as it has given me the opportunity to deliver the greatest news of this century to you Screen Junkies readers: TREMORS 5 IS HEADING OUR WAY, Y’ALL.

F*CK YES, a new Tremors movie to wash the rancid taste of The Legend Begins out of our mouths! There’s no way this can go, wait…did they say Jamie Kennedy?! As in Malibu’s Most Wanted and that godawful breakdancing movie I can’t remember the name of Jamie Kennedy?

And seriously, how old is Michael Gross nowadays to still be fighting these underground God damn monsters? Don’t get me wrong, I am in no way disappointed that the man behind my favorite wise-cracking paranoid survivalist is coming back for another incarnation, but do they honestly expect me to believe that Burt Gummer hasn’t figured out every trick that the Graboids, Shriekers, and Ass Blasters have to offer by now? STEEL WALLS. The answer to how to stop a Graboid is steel walls.

God damn it, voices in my head, quit being so pessimistic! Tremors 5 is going to blast our asses in the most consensual, non-sexual manner possible. But until it does, let’s just kick back and remember why we all love this series so…

With the deluge of superhero films coming our way from Marvel, and more recently, DC, it’s hard to keep things straight. I, for one, have simply put my life on hold until I can make sense of all these releases and know that I’m not glossing over a CRUCIAL 2018 DC comics release that I would otherwise be totally unprepared for.

So, the good folks at the Comics Alliance have put together a chart for us that lays it all out.

Of course, this chart is subject to wild changes, director departures, CGI mishaps, and many other delay-causing events. But as of today, October 21st, it’s in tip-top shape.
