Fast and the Furious 4 plot reveals
Thu, 10 Apr 2008 13:59:20 PDT
I'll warn you up front that this latest big plot reveal is pretty, well, revealing. Although it appears to be one of the early opening scenes and a big instigating moment for bringing the characters back together, it still is a spoiler. Not only does an inside source from the film reveal it, but a site actually has a photograph of the location during filming that could well be complete confirmation....Visit Filmstalker for the full story.

Babylon A.D. not getting destroyed?
Thu, 10 Apr 2008 13:59:20 PDT
The news about the Babylon A.D. film being heavily cut may have been over exaggerated - surprisingly for the Internet, the home of the wild rumour - as even more rumours come out today to suggest that the European version of the film isn't as long as a hundred and sixty minutes as was first suggested, but more like a hundred and five. With the UK cut being quoted as ninety minutes by the BBFC, that seems a lot less than we first thought, and frankly cutting over an hour from a film would surely
Giving away water in a drought
Thu, 10 Apr 2008 13:59:47 PDT
The news article is a month old but that doesn't make it any less infuriating. Potable water is becoming a major environmental issue, something that folks in the southeast of the US already know since they are experiencing a drought. What better time to sell the multinational food and beverage giant, the Nestle Company, the rights to draw hundreds of millions of gallons of water a year from wells drilled in a state park in Florida? To add insult to injury of the taxpayers of Florida, they Nestl

No, it’s *not* the smallest exoplanet found!
Thu, 10 Apr 2008 14:00:30 PDT
The web has been buzzing over what everyone is calling the smallest extrasolar planet found, weighing in at about 5 times the mass of the Earth. Problem is, that’s not the smallest exoplanet found, not by a long shot. That record is still held by three planets massing 0.02, 3.9, and 4.3 times the Earth’s mass, orbiting the pulsar PSR B1257+12. This newly found planet, orbiting the red dwarf GJ436, is the smallest yet found orbiting a Sun-like star. I’m not picking nits here. I’m trying to be

Gucci Envy - A 5 Star Fragrance

Perfume critic for the NYT, Chandler Burr, has given Gucci Envy perfume 5 stars. Read his review of the 1997 perfume here. I’m a fan of “Envy Me” but the green-ness is just a little lean for my body chemistry. A choice quote: “So what is it? Envy is a green, fresh, modern, abstract innovation, as enigmatic yet compelling as the floating squares of color in a Rothko and as free of conscious information. It may or may not be ageless.
