Star Trek Discovery – Main Title Sequence

Star Trek Discovery - Main Title Sequence
Star Trek Discovery premieres tonight on CBS All Access, but you can see the main title sequence right now. It’s different from any other Star Trek title sequence, I’ll give them that. Some are arguing that it feels bland and uninspired. I really can’t argue with that. It seems a bit disorienting to me, as if this title sequence is unsure of what the show is about. It seems to focus on the technology rather than the journey and reminds me of an Apple product pitch. They also tried really hard to mimic Enterprise’s main title vibe. What do you think?

What If Other Musicians Did The Doctor Who Theme?

What If Other Musicians Did The Doctor Who Theme?
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if other musicians played the Doctor Who Theme? George C Music has some ideas. He has created several alternative versions of the Doctor Who theme to see what it would sound like if it were created by other musicians. John Carpenter’s version definitely sounds dark and troubled. There are also Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream and swing jazz versions. I hope he keeps exploring these Doctor Who themes, because I find these to be very interesting and clever.

Fan-Made Film Adaptation of The Dark Knight Returns

Fan-Made Film Adaptation of The Dark Knight Returns
I really enjoyed Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns, and like so many fans I always wondered what a movie version would be like. We’ve seen some elements worked into movies here and there, but never a completely faithful live-action version. Well, filmmaker Wyatt Weed has made his own film adaptation of the 1986 comic. Surprisingly, it is pretty entertaining and well done. He gets so much right here. He made the film with only $2500 over 24 days, over 17 months. It just goes to show you that a movie with heart beats a big budget film any day. Give this guy a meeting with Warner Bros.

10,000 Jedi vs. 40,000 Spartans

10,000 Jedi vs. 40,000 Spartans
You may not be aware, but a group of developers have created a simulation game that lets players pit limitless units of whatever you can think of against each other. Like Chickens and dinosaurs for instance. It’s called The Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator, and to show off what it can do, YouTuber SergiuHellDragoonHQ has released gameplay footage of 10,000 Jedi against 40,000 Spartans. The Jedi aren’t even using Force powers, just lightsabers. Even so, the carnage. Oh, the carnage!
