Pacific Rim
Watch the trailer for Pacific Rim, Guillermo del Toro’s newest sci-fi movie. There are larger-than-life monsterous creatures, massive robots, and more expoloding things than you can shake a stick at. What more do you need from a movie? You want more? Fine, I will throw in Ron Perlman.

What you didn’t learn in school
Or maybe you did, I don’t know. But Ira Glass has some words of wisdom about storytelling, that truly applies to any creative field. Give it a listen, and then go support someone you know who is trying their hardest to create something!
X-Files Season 10
“Season 10?” you say? “I thought there were only 9 seasons?” You would be correct. However, creator Chris Carter is executive producing the new comic series, X-Files Season 10, which is an ongoing new series. I am officially geeking out right now. Pre-order! x-files »
