Stuff like this makes me realize how making a movie trailer is really an art unto itself.
We've all seen this movie. Some of us, like, a lot.
But this random fan-made trailer, while never forsaking the original, makes OG Star Wars feel like a genuinely new thing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yn11...

This would've been such an amazing movie. I had the honor to peep it sometime last year and it was very moving and exciting. Sony passed on something great BUT I hear Matt has some other news to share soon so... Something else to look forward to!
Matt Braly has shared never-before-seen development artwork from his canceled feature film at Sony Pictures Animation.
The project centered on a young boy who embarks on an emotional journey into a fantastical realm of Thai spirits, hoping to find a cure for his illness.

The closest I can get most of them to admitting they should look at something outside of a laboratory are the workshops. Apparently lathes are worthy of respect...when people remember the shops exist.

NASA put up a fun blog post several years ago highlighting a few ways apparent FTL travel could theoretically be achieved, but they all involved clearly impossible (so: fictional) things like "wrap yourself in a neutron star". It was entertaining, at least.
regular reminder: faster than light travel is not possible. faster than light travel will never be possible.
because of the popularity of science fiction, pop-science media recirculates the same pseudo-scientific nonsense about this every so often. it's always completely 100% wrong.

I'll give you $20 if you can provide proof of where this map of Aerona was originally published in physical form #Vorthos
Readers, we have a challenge! We want to source this map of Aerona and get a better photo/scan. We know it is
• Different from the 1997 calendar
• Printed 2000 or before
• Maybe from a magazine? Not Duelist; possibly TopDeck 6, 7, 9, or 11
Can you help us track this down?

Bannon (and his buddies) are using an informational strategy called reflexive control that intentionally exploits the reaction of his adversaries (on the left) to inflict damage on their own side. Don't become an unwitting agent in their information operation.

The teenager was William Henry Perkin, a bit of a prodigy, who at 15 began studying with August Wilhelm von Hofmann at ICL.
