Good news: There's a new trailer for the magical/haunted mobile phone film, Echelon Conspiracy! Bad news: It kind of debunks the magicality/hauntedness of the phone by grounding it to the realm of people controlling omniscient computers. Oh, well--nothing can stay perfect fore... / Continue →

I didn't own that many Transformers toys as a kid, but one of the few I made sure to get was Soundwave. He turned into a tape player, and then you could put other robots that turned into tapes inside him. It was really awesome. Above is the toy modeled after Soundwave in Transf... / Continue →
