"No Signal" Cell Phone Reception Clips From Horror Flicks
Whenever I think of scary movies and phones, Scream instantly comes to mind — especially the gory Drew Barrymore kitchen scene — yikes! Back in the eighties and nineties, most horror movies had serial killers cutting phone lines so when the victim (usually helpless young women) went to call the police, the phone would be dead. Nowadays, screenwriters can't write this classic scenario into scripts because a majority of people have swapped their landlines for a cell phone.
Tech Takes a Backseat in The September Issue
I've been patiently waiting to see The September Issue ever since Fab showed us the trailer back in June, and I finally got the chance to make it to the theater over the weekend.
The documentary follows Vogue's stoic editor Anna Wintour as she prepares for the biggest issue release of the year and chronicles the pressures that follow. Naturally, I was interested in seeing the fashion and getting a behind-the-scenes look at how the magazine runs, but I was hoping for some tech sightings as well.
Match the Eclipse Cast With Their Tech!
The cast of Twilight has descended on Vancouver to begin filming the third installment of the series, Eclipse. But they aren't coming alone — they have their tech right by their sides to help them with their new location in the Northwest. Find out if you can recognize the cast in this Twilight inspired tech matchup.
Confusing Technology Doesn't Pass in Post Grad
I just saw the college graduation comedy Post Grad starring Alexis Bledel and like Buzz, I thought the movie was also quirky and cute, but I had a few quibbles with the technology.
First, there must have been some sort of MySpace deal for placement, because it opens with Bledel's character Ryden posting a video blog getting live video comments on a very fancy-looking MySpace UI. I haven't been on the 'Space for a while now, but I'm pretty sure this is not the latest redesign.
Twilight and New Moon Geekery Recap
With die-hard Twilight fans eagerly anticipating the release of New Moon this November, I've been making sure to keep everyone updated on the Twilight tech front. This also means I've been closely following and and keeping up on what gadgets Edward and Bella have been using. Here's a roundup of all of the goodies!
Tech Cinema! 4 Geeky Movies to Look Forward To
The Summer blockbusters are blowin' up the big screen, but I'm turning my focus toward the future, and the slew of geeky movies that are in the works. Indeed, as many movies as there are that turn into video games, there are tons that are going the other way. Check out some rad upcoming movies, adapted from video games and other geeky fodder.
iMurders Movie Trailer Both Gory and Out of Touch
"People are getting systematically killed in that chat room," a gravely voiced detective says in the trailer for iMurders below. While yes, the movie does look quite scary (warning: the gore in it is not for the faint of heart), the Internet terminology kills it for me (pun intended, sorry).
Chat rooms?
Coming Soon: The World of Warcraft Movie
Just yesterday I was asking you what movies you'd want to see as video games, and now comes news of an epic video game turning into a movie: World of Warcraft!
The movie will be directed by Sam Raimi, who's got plenty of geek movie cred (he did the Spider-Man movies as well as the Evil Dead series).
No news yet on who will star or when the movie will come out, but I hope that Raimi will do WoW fans justice.
Jennifer Garner Spotted With Latest Cell Phone Star, Nokia E71
Somehow, the Nokia E71 got itself in front of some casting directors who declared that the smartphone was going to be a star.
First it showed up as the phone of Sandra Bullock's character in The Proposal, and now Jennifer Garner was snapped with the E71 on the set of her new movie, Valentine's Day.
So what's so appealing about the phone?
What Movie Do You Want to See as a Video Game?
It's usually easy to predict which movies will become movies, like the Harry Potter series. Other times, it's a little confounding (Juno?!), and I'm surprised but pleased to learn of the new Wizard of Oz game for the Nintendo DS.
The 3D role-playing game is based on the book and the subsequent movie, and though it seems like a bit precious, it actually looks pretty cool.
