NES DVD Player Hack

What happens when a bored DIYer throws a $20 DVD player inside an old Nintendo Entertainment System? You get a shoddy-looking, fully-working DVD player inside an NES. Get the cred, solder the lead, watch Club Dread. Link (via)

Tokyo’s Ultra-Luxe Movie Theater Has $278,000 Seats

Earlier this morning, the most luxurious movie theater ever had it’s grand opening in Tokyo Japan. Shinjuku Piccadilly is a cinema complex featuring a sleek “brilliant white” design and the world’s largest LCD monitor, a 108 inch behemoth from Sharp that’s the largest they can make with a single piece of 8th-generation glass substrate. Picture quality on this thing must be mind-blowing compared to a standard old school projector. God damn, those movie industry folks in Tokyo sure know how... Continue reading

Nike’s Back To The Future Basketball Shoe

I don’t know about you, but I happen to think the Back To The Future trilogy is one of the greatest achievements of modern cinema. The only thing I didn’t like about it is how the whole world is supposed to end if Michael J. Fox meets Past or Future Michael J. Fox, but when Jennifer meets Future Jennifer nothing really happens. That part sucked. Anyway, remember in Back To The Future 2 when Michael J. Fox is in the... Continue reading

DIY: Iron Man Arc Reactor

The Iron Man movie was awesome and we’ve all seen the crazy fanboys dressing up in cosplay costumes. The next take on the DIY arc reactor is very Robert Downey Jr and we think that’s a good thing (these days). Remember the terrible chest piece Tony Stark had to create to keep him self alive? Making your own isn’t too tough either; you just need to stand close to some explosive projectile. Once it pierces your chest, the hard part... Continue reading

Sony Pictures To Simulcast Final ‘Rent’ Performance

I’d be lying if I said I never expressed interest in “Rent”, the rock musical that changed this and that and everything in between on Broadway. As you may or may not know, “Rent” is about to end its run on Broadway after 12 years. Sony Pictures is looking to cash in huge on the final performance, so it’s decided it will simulcast it to various movie theaters throughout the US. Exact dates for the screenings haven’t been set yet,... Continue reading

Jessica Rabbit “Untooned” Video Surfaces

Perhaps you popped a hard one last week browsing the Internet. Maybe it was because you’re into leather, maybe you saw Tera Patrick blowing Peter North or perhaps you were one of the many geeks who saw a Photoshopped picture of Jessica Rabbit turned into a human. Now, thanks to the wonder of video capture, you can see how the man behind the transformation put her together. It’s only the first hour of work crammed into a ten minute video... Continue reading

Homemade Iron Man Suit Does Not Make You Tony Stark

Damn! That is one sharp-looking Iron Man suit! Too bad if a bunch of terrorist fucks rolled up on you in Afghanistan, you’d be shit out of luck. Still, this is about as close to the real Tony Stark as you can get. Made by Andrew Le, who clearly has a lot of times on his hands, the electromagnet/arc reactor/beam-of-light in the middle of Iron Man’s chest even lights up and helps bring the pain to the fourth-period lunch table....

An Artist’s Ode To VHS and 2001: A Space Odyssey

The age of high definition may be upon us, but a VHS cassette that measures 2x4x8ft is still pretty damn cool. Props to artist David Herbert on his taste in movies too. — Sean Fallon Link

MadZ Software releases DVD to iPod Video program: Watch your own DVD’s on your iPod

The DVD to iPod/PSP Video Converter from MadZ software solves the problem and let’s you watch your own uploaded DVDs and movies on your device. The program automatically syncs the movies with your device, so after you connect the device as you normally would and the videos are automatically uploaded... Continue reading

Samsung wants you to have your movie collection wherever you go, and they’re not afraid to say it. The T9 model is a living, breathing, monster of movie storage madness.

Movies can be directly downloaded from the Samsung Media Studio, relatively easy access to... Continue reading
