The new Blair Witch?

If you are a fan of horror films, you are going to love the latest low budget movie to come out of the US. Despite the fact it was only shown on 160 screens across the US, it took $7 million at the box office on its first weeknd.

Made on a budget of only $15,000 the makers were nervous about the reception it would receive and initially let university students see it for free. They then asked them to vote online if they liked it, and promised to release it when 1 million people had voted. Clever !

The film is made mostly on a hand held camcorder and is about a young couple who have just moved into their fitst home in San Diego. The become convinced that a demonic presence lurks in their bedroom and decide to set up a video camera to watch it!!

It isn't released in the Uk in November but you can watch the trailor below. Check out the audience reaction.

MySpace’s Tom Joins Facebook

Tom might have been officially removed from power at MySpace, but he’s still officially a “friend” to millions of the site’s members.

However, he’s now poking around the social network that supplanted his own as top dog: Facebook. At least in the world of satirical Facebook profiles.

Complete with pokes from Rupert Murdoch, wall comments from Mark Zuckerberg (Mr Facebook himself), and astute observations about the differences between Facebook and MySpace), Comedy.com [click for full img] has done a stellar job at this one:

Marge Simpson for Playboy Magazine (NSFW)



Taking an unorthodox approach to their November issue, Playboy Magazine assisted in The Simpson’s 20th Anniversary with a revealing spread featuring everyone’s favorite animated mom, Marge Simpson. Up until now many had only seen the cover, but the scandalous images are now surfacing on the net. For those feeling frisky, they can be seen below.

PS. I love the Homer Simpson Shadow on the 3rd image

WOW, Japan is twisted but amazing!



A Japanese hidden camera show called 'Panic Face King' goes extreme on this poor guy, luring him into a fake meeting in which everyone is killed by a sniper except for him. He is definitely the panic face king.

Watch Ten Minutes of Glorious Bullet Impacts at 1,000,000 FPS

A rare double post from me but had to do it



I'm no warmonger, but I can think of no finer way to waste Friday afternoon than spending 10 minutes of the company's time watching bullets striking various objects at one million frames per second. The footage is just totally unbelievable.

To reach far beyond typical high speed photography (keep in mind, we're talking over 41,000 times the speed of traditional film), the footage was captured using dual Shimadzu HPV-1 cameras shooting at a scant 312x260 resolution. Regardless, the black and white tonal detail is still more than good enough to astound.

For a special treat, load the clip around 7:30 in to watch what happens when a hollow point bullet strikes what looks like cement. The bullet's clinical deconstruction...I don't even know what to say, other than I have an inkling why those bad boys are illegal no idea why those bad boys aren't illegal (sorry, I get all my bullet knowledge from 80s movies).

When and how to use the phrase "No Homo!"



Haha classic!
