This is not related to any movie or TV show really, but it’s really awesome and I wanted to share it with you.

National Geographic captured a cheetah running 60 MPH at 1200 frames per second. Resulting 24 frames per second playback results in this super slo-mo, super awesome video. Seriously, I can’t think of a cooler thing to watch this morning. It’s a good thing that kitty is somewhat tame, because nobody is going to be outrunning it! Check it out! Toward the end in the credits, you can see how fast that little kitty is actually running.

Just found this. It’s been on YouTube for over a month but it’s comical how bad it looks. I mean, let’s see, bad plot? Check. Bad actress? Check. Lots of cheese? CHECK!

Does this look like a Miss Congeniality rip-off to anyone else? Well it does to me, and it looks like bad one to top it off.

But I suppose this will appeal to the teenage girl demographic — there’s certainly no lack for comments from what appears to be teenage girls on this trailer’s YouTube page. Such as:

I love how she says “I’m so Undercover” -33 Love you Mileyyy !!

Or:

OMG soooooooooo cooool…

Here’s another behind the scenes video from the upcoming Blu-ray release of The Dark Knight Rises talking about the scene where Bane blows up a football stadium.

Personally, more than the special features, I can’t wait to sit down and watch all three films back to back… okay, maybe not in one sitting or anything, but perhaps 3 nights.

Here’s the special feature:

The velocity of events picks up considerably, however, in an endless and mindless combat sequence in which the Wolverines prove to be fierce combat troops and the North Koreans are reassuringly incompetent. The kids, even the girlfriends, are adept at handling heavy-duty automatic weapons, even machineguns mounted on top of captured vehicles (or pointing out the sun roofs of their cars). 

They’re also gifted strategists, instinctively occupying the high ground and spraying bullets down upon the hapless enemy forces who are often conveniently lined up in the street below. They achieve…

“They actually built a cornucopia in Atlanta that we shot at, and it looks amazing, and the way that the spokes got out, and the way everyone comes up on the pedestals and the water — it looks incredible,” he gushed. “I’ve seen some of the CG renderings that [director] Francis [Lawrence] has worked on, and they look really, really great.”

But the morsel fans will savor most is what Hutcherson had to say about the portions being filmed in IMAX.

I can’t tell you how much I’m looking forward to this film. Here’s the video of Josh Hutcherson from the link:

In Summer 2013, pioneering director J.J. Abrams will deliver an explosive action thriller that takes Star Trek Into Darkness.

When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis.

With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction.

As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships…

Reed Hastings says that, one day, Amazon will provide real competition for Netflix.

But the Netflix CEO says Jeff Bezos will have to spend a lot of money before that happens: Hastings says Amazon is losing between $500 million and a $1 billion a year as it acquires streaming video content rights.

Hastings says he generated those numbers based on the value of the content deals that Amazon won when the two companies competed head to head. He says he thinks Amazon’s costs are split evenly between its U.S. operations and Europe, where it operates the Lovefilm streaming service.

When was the last time you heard anything positive about Blockbuster Video? Last we (the general public) heard, their business was floundering, as physical stores were shuttered and customers were moving to Netflix.

Well, Blockbuster isn’t giving up without a fight. The latest development is their iOS based Newstand magazine. Here’s Mike Schramm’s thoughts over at TUAW:

They must be pretty far down the idea list over at Blockbuster Video, because this one suddenly appeared out of left field. The video rental chain has released, of all things, an iPad-based digital…
