First photo of liquid from another world



NASA revealed the first photo ever of liquid that doesn't belong to earth. The photo is showing reflection of the sun from a lake on Saturn's largest moon- Titan. Titan is the only body that is believed to have a liquid on it's surface and it's atmosphere contains mostly nitrogen. The glint of the sun appears on the lake called Kraken Mare. It's 400,000 square kilometers (150,000 square miles) wide which is larger than the lagers lake on Earth, the Caspian See. The temperature on Titan's surface is around -180 degrees Celsius.

The photocomes from the spacecraft Cassini.

Over a mile wide UFO triange appeared over Russia




A huge triangle shaped UFO howered over Moscow's Kremlin.

Some people suggested it's an air balloon or stunt, but a spokesman for aerospace experts Jane's News said: "We have no idea what it is."

There are 2 videos available, one is filmed by day and one at night.
I'm pretty sure it's just another hoax since there are only 2 videos available. There would be thousands of videos and pictures if an object that large would really appear in the sky. There's no doubt we would get live footage too.

Mysterious Spiral over Norway



A strange light that appeared in the sky across Norway last night. Many people saw it and many cameras captured it. They said it could be a failed Russian missile that self destruct. No words from Russia yet. Looks like some black hole or portal. Blue light appaers to coming out from it's center. Reminds me of horror manga Uzumaki.

Some of the pictures almost look like photoshop effects but all the cameras captured the same thing.












Explanation:

"Norwegian astronomer Knut Jørgen Røed Ødegaard says it's 99.9% safe to say that it's a rocket out of control, while some newspapers and TV channels are quoting Russian military sources, confirming that this is a failed Bulava missile launched from a nuclear submarine in the White Sea.
The Norwegian defense has confirmed that, even while they have not admitted the failure, the Russian Navy alerted them about the tests prior to giant spiral the appearing in the skies."

Wolvesbayne Review



Based on the name and the poster, I thought this is going to be a werewolf movie. Wrong. Saying this is a werewolf movie would be the same as stating Harry Potter is a werewolf flick just because of one of the characters happens to be a werewolf. Two main characters in this movie are werewolves but it doesn't really matter since they spent only 2 minutes in a werewolf form. If you remember Tommy from TV series "Big Wolf on Campus", then you know how their werewolf form looks like:)
This is essentially vampire movie or should I say Underworld ripoff. It's made for TV and due to low budget, special effects aren't very good. Which is pretty bad since they try to force action into every scene. Then you get really fast camera cuts that try to disguise bad effects. The plot is really messy and it looks like the director didn't know what kind of film he wants to make. With the introduction of vampires, the pacing changes drastically and the movie becomes all about action. I'll spoil it all the way because I don't believe you'll want to see it after you read this review anyway:

1. Russel Bayne is egoistic douche businessman (imagine him as Colin Farell in Phone Booth)
2. He gets bitten by a werewolf
3. Lilith, the mother of all vampires gets resurrected. She wants to rise again and enslave the world. Vampires need to collect several talismans to fully recover her powers
4. Vampires want to recruit Bayne to their side
5. His love interest, who is also a werewolf, kidnaps him so they won't get him first
6. She trains him to control his powers (Wanted style)
7. One hour into the movie, 2 vampire hunters appear (Jacob Van Helsing and some chick). Suddenly they become the main characters. Two werewolves are now their sidekicks
8. They go to hunt vampires
9. Van Helsing kills vampire queen while former main character, werewolf, is fighting some random no name vampires
10. Last scene: suddenly portal opens in the sky and that means trouble. It's time to hunt some vampires again (Mortal Kombat ending)

I hoped Bayne would go berserk in full wolf form at the end of the movie but nothing like that happens.

I had a feeling that this movie tries too hard to be "cool".
Just look at all the cool elements it has:

-vampires
-werewolves
-hot girls
-fast cars and bikes
-katanas
-vampire lesbian kiss
-over the top Matrix style action

You would think that it would be at least fun to watch. It wasn't

For a B movie it had surprisingly good cast. I though Jeremy London's acting was great. His character was believable but it didn't really matter since the rest of the world was so cartoonish. Mark Dacascos threw some great kicks and showed some sword action but I wish he would do some spectacular moves since he's the only actor in the movie who can actually fight. But he played powerful vampire who could end fights with just one punch so there wasn't need for it.
Another decent thing was the soundtrack.


Director: Griff Furst
Writer: Leigh Scott (written by)
Cast: Jeremy London, Christy Carlson Romano, Mark Dacascos, Rhett Giles, Yancy Butler


Rating: 3/10

Do yourself a favor and watch Underworld instead.

The vampire


The werewolf (seriously...)


The hunter


Check the trailer but don't be fooled by it:

Leaked Predators Script



I just bumped into leaked Predators script. Apparently it's an old news. Anyway, here it is: Predators Script

Predators is produced by Robert Rodriguez and directed by Nimrod Antal (Control, Vacancy, Armored). Starring Adrien Brody, Topher Grace and Danny Trejo (Machete:)

Virtual Dreamachine




The dreamachine is a flicker device that produces visual stimuli. Aside from relaxation and increased mental abilities, dreamachine users report seeing otherworldly colors, swirling intricate patterns and dream-like images.

The "viewer" experiences increasingly bright, complex patterns of color behind their closed eyelids. The patterns become shapes and symbols, swirling around, until the "viewer" feels surrounded by colors. It is claimed that viewing a dreamachine allows one to enter a hypnagogic state.

You could achieve the same "alpha state" after learning and practicing meditation, or by training yourself with bio-feedback machines, however the dreamachine offers you a fantastic light show and relatively quick alpha-wave production. People find that dreamachine therapy and other alpha-wave related therapy lead to decreased anxiety, overall calmness, increases IQ scores, increases in brain hemisphere coordination and overall intellectual function.


You can experience it online now from this link:

just click on start dreamachine


Remember- close your eyes while viewing dreamachine

Also:
A dreamachine may be dangerous for people with photosensitive epilepsy or other nervous disorders. It is thought that one out of 10,000 adults will experience a seizure while viewing the device; about twice as many children will have a similar ill effect.
