The Future: An Infographic

by Susana Polo | 9:33 am, November 17th

I’ve seen infographics that present the slow but surprisingly eventful future that awaits us if all our fictional realities come true, but what this one has on all the others is sheer size. Also, did you know that there’s only one year of difference between the wild, lawless space frontier of Cowboy Bebeop and the emotionless dystopia of Equilibrium? Also, in only seventeen years, we will be 2000 years away from Titan, A.E.

Click to embiggen, if the size we had to shrink this to to make it fit our tables wasn’t big enough.

15 Women Who Could Direct Catching Fire Instead of the Actual Candidates

Given all the attention The Hunger Games franchise is getting for having a strong female protagonist, it's only natural that talk should turn to the question of whether any female directors have been included on Hollywood's short list for the first movie's sequel, Catching Fire.
