Check out this new X-Men themed television commercial for “Sky Fibre”. It’s pretty fun to see all of these mutants getting along and hanging out. And of course, Quicksilver is up to his old tricks. Sky Fibre is even faster than he is. Or is it?
French artist and motion designer Patrick Grandi created this cool video showcasing a pair of His and Hers lightsaber designs. These designs are pretty awesome. As much as I love Star Wars lightsabers, my only gripe would be how little the hilts deviate from the original designs. I think we can do better and this concept proves it.
They should look like the elegant weapons that they are from a more civilized age. Look at all of the amazing detail in these weapons. They are downright sexy as hell, with so many curves and grooves.I just love all of the detail here. Just beautiful.
Well Batman v Superman recently hit theaters, so Select Car Leasing thought it would be a good time to take a look back at the Batmobile’s evolution in film. This is one of the most iconic cars ever created and over the years it has changed many times and has been driven by many actors. However, no matter how much it changes, you always know it belongs to Batman with just a glance. It is as much of a character as Batman himself. Check out all of it’s incarnations in this cool video with accompanying infographic.
Here is a fun video of Wired taking a look at the Visual Effects used in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It is a fascinating look at how Industrial Light & Magic created those complex action sequences, breathtaking environments, and characters. It packs a lot of info into it’s three minute run time. It’s always fun to see how the magic is done. It doesn’t ruin the magician’s trick, it makes us even more in awe.
This fun video shows off how robots evolved in movies and TV. Nowadays Sci-Fi flicks just aren’t complete unless they feature robots. That’s cool, because we love robots around here. Some of the best movies of all time have robots. The artwork is from Scott Park and Sploid turned his work into a cool video.
Sit back and enjoy the evolution of these synthetic beings. It makes me wonder what kind of robots we will see next.

Batman V Superman has the potential to be a massive hit. We have all been waiting for this one. In the meantime, check out DC Entertainment’s video of costume designer Michael Wilkinson providing some insight into the costume designs. There is also some Batman v Superman concept art in the video. There’s some cool stuff about Wonder Woman’s wardrobe and they talk about Kryptonian language being stitched into Superman’s new suit as well.
Now that the Doctor’s new Sonic Screwdriver has made its debut during the show’s season finale, we can get an even better look at it. I have to say, I really am in love with this design. It isn’t as chunky as the 11th Doctor’s Sonic, which I love, and it has some super cool lights. It’s also TARDIS blue. It is the perfect blend of old fashioned and modern. I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to get my hands on a replica!
Scott Park has illustrated the spaceships and vehicles from the original Star Wars trilogy to scale. Yes it is as awesome as it sounds. We get to see how a Ronto compares to a TIE-Fighter, to a Tauntaun and on and on. Scott did a great job on this animation. It really puts things into perspective. Some of the sizes may surprise you. For instance, I had forgotten how large those B-Wings were. They are about the size of an Imperial shuttle. Fun stuff.
This is a fun and fascinating video that takes a look at the evolution of Batman’s home, Gotham City. Evan Puschak (The Nerdwriter) explores the city in this seven-minute video essay. This is well worth your time. I don’t think I have ever seen an examination of Gotham like this one. It offers a lot of food for thought if you are a Batman fan.
Gotham is as much a character as Batman himself and just as fascinating, with a history just as rich as the Caped Crusader’s. After all, they are forever intertwined. Did Gotham create Batman? Did Batman create the hellish out of control version of Gotham? Maybe the real question is if they can save each other.
By now you’ve seen Ridley Scott’s new sci-fi movie The Martian. It looks like it might be one of the year’s best films, but would you expect anything less from Ridley Scott?
Well, check out this new mashup from YouTuber Tony D. It has audio from The Martian trailer mixed with video from Pixar’s WALL-E. The second video is a shot by shot comparison with The Martian’s real trailer. They did an excellent job on this one.
