Recently I’ve been re-watching the “Aliens” trilogy to prep for this Ridley Scott’s prequel, which, if everything is as appears to be, could be the greatest prequel in sci-fi history. Now, I’m aware that there are 5 “Aliens” movies out there, but I’ve also decided to pretend that “Aliens Resurrection” didn’t happen. It had some decent scenes, but that ending…man, just forget it.

Anyway, here’s the latest featurette promoting the film.

Working on another project this week, and I’m installing Red Giant Software’s Magic Bullet Suite for my editing. They have a great short film to inspire filmmakers to use their products creatively.

“Plot Device”: A young filmmaker obtains a mysterious device that unleashes the full force of cinema on his front lawn.

This film was created using Magic Bullet Suite 11.

Astrophysicist Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson was asked in an interview with TIME magazine, “What is the most astounding fact you can share with us about the Universe?” This is his answer.

My absolute favorite anime of all time is “Cowboy Bebop“. Not only is there great character writing and flawless music, but the mecha is also really well thought out. A great example of that is Spike’s Swordfish II. This video showcases a model of the ship. I have a model of this ship in my office, and now that I’ve seen this, I’ll never be able to look at it again without hearing the music.

You’d expect this cloudy blue glass to throw a blue light onto its surroundings. The light it throws, though, is clearly a bright orange-yellow. Can you guess why?
How ca…
