Science Beats James Cameron: Titanic’s Death Scene Officially Mythbusted

by Jill Pantozzi | 5:42 pm, October 8th, 2012

Annoyed movie-goers (and director James Cameron) have argued this one for years but we can finally put it to rest. The Mythbusters crew (Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman) tried to figure out if Titanic’s Rose and Jack could both have survived. Cameron may think he had the last word but I think that’s best left to this guy.

Watch This Guy Apply For A Job On Whedon’s S.H.I.E.L.D. TV Show With A Film Featuring His Design Work

by Jill Pantozzi | 5:43 pm, September 21st, 2012

Lots of people want in on Joss Whedon’s upcoming S.H.I.E.L.D. television show on ABC but perhaps none more than Adam Levermore. He created a short comedy film to act as his resume for production designer on the Avengers spin-off series. And they should really hire him. I mean, besides the fact he pulled this together in two and a half weeks, it’s the eye for detail. “Everything that isn’t part of the building or being worn by the actors was my design work, and I think it really shows what I can do to bring a unified, coherent feel to a fictional world,” he writes. Of course it does help Levermore to have Mythbusters’ Grant Imahara playing himself and Whedon cohort Amber Benson in the mix. The short also stars Taryn O’Neill, Stephanie Thorpe, Andrew Seely, and Yuri Lowenthal. Seriously, give the guy the job already or let him in for an interview at the very least

Oh, I forgot, it was written by Amy Berg and there’s also a Bear McCreary score. I mean, come on!

I Guess I Can't Argue With That

James Cameron Sinks Our Ship (Or, At Least, Our AU)

by Zoe Chevat | 3:28 pm, September 13th, 2012

Yeah, we all think about this stuff too much

James Cameron doesn’t care what you think. It’s one of the many privileges of having made billions of dollars. But even mega movie tyrants can get sick of myths that float around the internet. Especially if they have to do with Titanic.

In response to the long-standing theory explored by a Reddit user that Jack could have easily fit onto that door with Rose (don’t pretend like you don’t know what we’re talking about), Cameron has gone on the record stating that it’s not a question of space, but a question of buoyancy.

Yes, I read that right: there might be guillotines.

Netflix Will Start Streaming Discovery Channel Shows, Mythbusters Too? Pretty Please?

by Jamie Frevele | 1:58 pm, September 21st, 2011

Right in the middle of this, shall we say, turbulent week for Netflix, the soon-to-be “exclusively streaming” video company has announced that it has made a deal with Discovery Communications to stream shows from several of its satellite channels, such as TLC, Science, and Animal Planet. That includes shows such as Man Vs. Wild, Say Yes to the Dress, and, we really, really hope Mythbusters. Seriously, does this mean we’ll be able to stream Mythbusters? Because that would be the really good news.

One Neil Gaiman + One Craig Ferguson = One Wibbly Wobbly Ball of British Nerdery

by Susana Polo | 9:27 am, July 1st, 2011

It watched this video again this morning, to try and make some “highlights” to entice you to watch it, but there are just too many. Milk-bottle Daleks, hiding behind the couch from the Queen, Jamie Hyneman as Cthulhu, bees, ladies in attics, and one significant awkward pause.
