Killing In The Name of Christmas
Somewhat surprisingly, the campaign to secure the Christmas #1 spot for Rage Against The Machine is working. They're currently at #2, with only 10% to make up in order to topple current leader Joe from X-Factor.
Not sure I like anyone telling me what to buy though. "@£&% you, I won't do what you tell me!"

Jackass 3D
A movie that might actually benefit from the inanity of 3D is the stupidest movie of them all - Jackass. According to Variety (via AICN) the possibility of Jackass 3D is highly likely. Can't be worse than Jaws.

If they would only integrate a ringtone purchasing scheme, the David Lee Roth Soundboard would score a perfect 10.

This Day In Tech: The Flux Capacitor
According to archival footage, Brown was standing on his toilet seat on the evening of Nov. 5, 1955, attempting to hang a clock in his bathroom, when he slipped and slammed his head on the side of the sink. Upon regaining consciousness Brown reported having “a revelation, a picture, a picture in my head.” A picture which he crudely scrawled down on a piece of paper and subsequently spent 30 years of his life and family fortune to build.

Halloween Outfits
Some great costumes knocking around this Halloween (check out Twitter for my Invisible Man effort).
An iPod silhouette was a highlight (sorry, no picture) and CJ has pointed out this excellent Big Head.

Nikon Projector in Action
Check out the Helicopter Boyz making great use of that Nikon camera-with-built-in-mini-projector we talked about a while back.
And while I'm writing this Japan-centric episode of stupido, check out this awesome Marimba display from the Marimba Ponies.

More Unanswered Movie Questions
Obi-Wan is stupid - "because his idea of “hiding” Luke from his father is to take Luke to the planet where Anakin used to live, to the very house he used to live in, to be cared for by Anakin’s stepfather’s son and his wife, and, as if that weren’t already akin to hanging a giant sign reading “Future Jedi Here,” to give Luke his father’s last name! Because “Skywalker” is such a common last name that nobody could possibly make the connection … if they’re complete morons. Would it have been so difficult to call him “Luke Lars?”"
Wired investigates further.

Top 10 Unanswered Questions in Geeky Movies
3. Gremlins: Feeding after midnight - Don’t get them wet; OK, fine. Don’t expose them to sunlight; sure, why not? Don’t feed them after midnight; um, how’s that again? If you can’t feed them “after midnight,” at what point during the day does it cease to be “after midnight” so you can feed them again? For that matter, how does the mogwai know what time zone it’s in? Suppose I get my mogwai in New York and then take a vacation to San Francisco — should I not feed my mogwai after midnight Eastern Time or Pacific Time? And what about Daylight Saving Time? Considering the consequences, these details seem pretty important.
This and other conundrums, discussed in Wired's Top 10 Unanswered Questions in Geeky Movies article.

These Aren't The Hoodies You're Looking For
Religious outrage, as the Bangor based founder of the Jedi 'religion' is ejected from Tesco for wearing a hood. I actually saw some hood-based discrimination in my own local Tesco only yesterday. Seriously.
