Augmented Reality Is Both a Fad and the Future -- Here's Why

3 hours ago | Fast Company | See recent Fast Company news »

Photo Illustration by Eva Kolenko

Why layering data on top of smartphones and computer screens is both a fad and the future.

You wouldn't immediately suspect that Yelp's iPhone app might be a gift bestowed upon us by a benevolent superhero from the future. Load it up and the program's in its Clark Kent garb -- a useful-enough guide to local restaurants, bars, and merchants.

Then you notice a button labeled monocle in the right-hand corner. Hit it and the screen displays a live feed from the phone's camera, showing exactly what's in front of you -- with one big difference. Aim the camera at a local storefront and Yelp superimposes a star rating on the image. Use Monocle in a hot neighborhood, for instance, and point it at every restaurant for a quick appraisal of the best food in the area.

Yelp's app is one of the first "augmented reality, »

Bsb: In Praise of Fright Night

9 hours ago | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

When you scrape away the death obsessed subtext and technicalities of the process, watching and loving horror films should be just plain fun, exhilarating fun, a complete escape into another parallel world that echoes our own. If it's not, if you find yourself labouring to find that simple joyous eye of the proverbial needle, well then, perhaps you should just give up the pursuit of terror geekdome altogether.

For me, speaking as someone who was literally born into a world where the people that done made me loved dark movies and weird entertainments and fully endorsed my obsessions with my growing "id", horror films will forever be tied to the sweetest moments of my youth. From those secret late night, school night, TV movie binges to sneaking into R rated films after buying PG tickets, horror was my first rebellion against the mainstream so embraced by my peers and the »

10 Most Fascinating 'End of the World' Movies

8 November 2009 4:59 AM, PST | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »

There are many theories, ideas or should I say 'schools of thought' on how the world would end. At the height of the Cold War, nuclear annihilation ranks at the very top. While others argue it will not be man who will destroy the world (directly) but - an epidemic of global proportions (most probably from a potent strain of virus - think: I am Legend) or severe climactic change (another ice age perhaps? That would be Day After Tommorow right?) or mechanical uprising (The Terminator, anyone?) or even attack from the outside - conquering aliens (Mars Attacks!) or perhaps an asteroid. And let's not forget zombies!

'Twilight' Actors Without Clothes, The 'New Moon' Premiere And Dog Accounts In Today's Twitter-Wood

6 November 2009 4:30 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

The Twitter-Wood feed started following its first canine today, as recent hacking victim and "Eclipse" actress Jodelle Ferland tweeted a pic referencing her dog "Genevieve Ferland." According to @gena_fur's Twitter account, Genevieve recently turned five, hates nail clippers and dressed as a princess last year for Halloween.

Lack of clothing was on the minds of two other "Twilight" series actors, though, as Tinsel Korey seems to have not yet found a dress for the "New Moon" premiere, and Charlie Bewley reported on his love of not wearing anything. Remarkably, I made none of this up. Check it out, along with an award Arnold Schwarzenegger recently presented to Kirk Douglas, a scandalous "Full House" photo and the reason "Iron Man 2" will show up to theaters late if it gets delayed. It's all in the Twitter-Wood report for November 6, 2009.

Hasbro and Legacy FX Representatives Talk G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra DVD & Blu-ray

5 November 2009 5:57 AM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

Without a doubt the biggest surprise hit of this past summer was G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra racking in an astonishing $300 million worldwide. The brand, which has been around since the '60s began as doll for boys, to compete in the market with Barbie and was the first "Action Figure," a phrase that it's manufacturer Hasbro coined. Almost 45 years later it is the worlds second most popular action figure, right behind Hasbro's uber-successful "Star Wars" franchise. So with a history like that it only make sense that the film would be a huge hit around the world. Last month representatives of Hasbro gathered at an event in Santa Monica sponsored by Paramount to celebrate the release of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra on DVD and Blu-ray, which hit stores earlier this week. We had an opportunity to attend and were joined by reps from EA Games, who »

You Can Own the Terminator!

3 November 2009 4:32 AM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »

What’s that you say? “I can own the Terminator? Surely Carly must be talking about the DVD. Or maybe scientists in an underground laboratory have created actual Terminators that I can buy!”

No folks, I’m not referring to owning The Terminator on video, DVD or Blu-ray. And as cool as it would be to have real terminators in development (actually, I’m not sure that would be so much ‘cool’ as ’cause for slight panic’), no such plans are underway (as far as I know…)

What I’m talking about is you (providing you have millions of dollars at your disposal) potentially being able to claim ownership of the Terminator franchise.

After filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in August, Halcyon Co–the company that currently owns the rights to the Terminator movies–has decided to put those rights up for auction.

The auction, which will take place in January, »

Joss Whedon Will Gladly Buy the Rights to 'Terminator'

2 November 2009 12:32 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

The rights to the Terminator franchise have only been up on the auction block for about as long as it takes Arnold Schwarzenegger to emerge naked from a time bubble, but a veteran Hollywood mogul has already expressed interest in taking the brand off the hands of the now-bankrupt Halcyon; and that vet is none other than Toy Story, Alien: Resurrection, and Titan A.E. screenwriter Joss Whedon (oh, and he created Buffy the Vampire Slayer and "Firefly"/Serenity, but I don't think anyone has ever heard of those).

Mr. Whedon took the time out of his busy schedule running his latest TV show, the Eliza Dushku starring "Dollhouse", to write an earnest letter to Halcyon making the case for why he's the right man for the job. And as with all things Whedon, his proposal has its fair share of the funny.

In it, he outlines the six possible directions he'd take the franchise, »

Joss Whedon Bids $10,000 for the Terminator Franchise Rights (In Typical Hilarious Whedon Fashion, Complete With a Letter!)

Breaking: V Star Scott Wolf Addresses Production Delays

For those of you who don't know, the company that currently owns the rights to the entire Terminator franchise (Halcyon) is experiencing some (serious) financial difficulties and is auctioning off the franchise rights in an attempt to secure some cash.

According to Nikki Finke over at Deadline Hollywood Daily, a lot of studios (led by Sony) are interested in bidding in the auction, despite the fact that the recent Terminator Salvation didn't do as well as some would have hoped (I liked it….but even I admit it could have been better – easy fix: more Worthington, since he was arguably the best part of the entire movie).

As a follow-up to her post, Ms. Finke posted an open letter penned by Joss Whedon to the owners of the franchise rights.  Joss Whedon is like a god….only much, much funnier.  I want »

Joss Whedon makes a [largely hilarious] bid on 'Terminator' rights

2 November 2009 10:00 AM, PST | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »

It does not instill me with great confidence regarding the future of the "Terminator" franchise, knowing that any installments yet to come will be based on who the highest bidder is rather than who has the best idea or the most compelling story idea. My opinion on the "Terminator" series hasn't endeared me to fandom to a large degree, but I don't care.  My loyalty is to the two James Cameron films, and nothing else.  Those films work together elegantly, and they tell a complete story.  At the end of "Terminator 2," there wasn't anything I felt had to be explained... »

Schwarzenegger Hated The Idea Of Shepard Dating His Teen Daughter

29 October 2009 6:41 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Funnyman Dax Shepard treasures a letter California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger once sent him after the actor joked about dating his teenage daughter at a tribute event.

Shepard was chosen to 'roast' the Terminator at an event two years ago and opened up by suggesting his relationship with Katherine Schwarzenegger, who was then 17, was more than just friendship.

The former Hollywood action man was so amused he decided to show off his own comedy skills in a letter to the Without A Paddle star.

Shepard adopted Schwarzenegger's voice and read the note while appearing on U.S. chat show Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday.

The letter read: "Thanks for taking part in the roast last night, but, no, you may not have my daughter. I'm sorry to break it to you but your terrific talent, great humor and so-so Arnold impersonation do not add up to son-in-law material, especially when the relationship would put you in jail.

"It would really mess up my weekends to have to schlep Katherine to visit you every Sunday."

The letter, which features the Governor's official seal, concludes, "On a motorcycle or anywhere, I hope to run into you somewhere soon."

Ironically, Shepard read out the note from Schwarzenegger on the same day the Governor was being criticised for an official letter he wrote to a political critic, in which the words 'F**k off' were spelled out at the beginning of each line.

The actor had a little fun on the back of the new literary scandal: "I thought, 'Hey, maybe there's a secret message in my letter,' so I added up all the letters and I divided it by pi - I think that's what you do... This is what it said: 'I love your smile and your glutes'." »

I was very impressed the first time I watched the trailer of James Cameron's latest (and probably greatest) epic - Avatar.
