This is exactly what […]
Kurt Russell – A Retrospective
Kurt Russell is amazing. That’s all there really is to it, quite frankly. Hell, he’s so cool that when he gets cast in a Marvel superhero movie they decide he’s not going to play a superhero. He’s not even going to play a baddie. He’s going to play a planet! That’s right, a planet – in […]

Digital Damnation, or Denying Dignity to the Dead with Computer Generated Doppelgangers
Anghus Houvouras on digital resurrection… No. Hell no. This needs to stop and needs to be stopped in its infancy.
