Movie Buzz This leads to all sorts of continuity questions. Great Easter Egg catch, Blastr!
Animals Buzz Pets wear tin foil hats for the same reason people do: because they're insane.

Anything getting close to the sun would surely burn up. The only explanation then? Aliens. Or Cosmic Rays. Or Camera Malfunction.

Et tu, Science Channel? Sure UFO doesn't necessarily mean aliens but it looks like they're following the History Channel honey trap to catch viewers.

Michael Bay must be stopped. For the good our collective childhoods.
Culture Buzz No sign of Ripley in “Aliens: Colonial Marines” — just a bunch of soldiers battling acid blood-riddled monsters, and that’ll do just fine. The game’s release, originally slated for the spring, has been pushed back until fall 2012 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.
Celebrity Buzz It gets weirder: Fran and her ex-husband believe they had the exact same experience with the same aliens when they were children. As adults, they have the exact same scar on the exact same place on their bodies. Do you think the aliens also programmed her voice just to torture earthlings?
Politics Buzz Jesse Benton does know about the Federal Reserve.

With the upcoming release of Super 8, Green Lantern, and Cowboys & Aliens, here's a look back at some movies about space. Plus, The Killers. Enjoy.
Movie Buzz First cowboys, now dinosaurs. Is anything safe from the alien threat? Knowing how Hollywood thinks, let's give them more fodder for alien invasion mash-ups. Because they're going to make them whether we help or not.
Culture Buzz Illustrator Chelsea Gordon-Ratzlaff made a crossover between her two favorite aliens.
Here's a real thing that's a dead alien that they definitely found in Russia. Creepy!
Amazing video. If there is anything we can learn from watching this, it is….always trust your gut. Anything chasing you around town in a trench coat cannot be trusted.
Movie Buzz At least this version of Juno would've been more entertaining. Chris Beaumont takes time from making awesome CubeCrafts to give a new spin on popular and/or infamous films.
Culture Buzz A wonderful series of “what if” funny book covers by Comics Alliance. There is no amount of money I wouldn't pay to see “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen America: 1988.” Much more over at Comics Alliance.
Oh good, finally something to fill the empty void left by LOST. This looks like The Goonies meets Cloverfield and that's freaking awesome.
Be it by zombies, robots or aliens, we're screwed. They should add snow storms.

Science Buzz NASA has announced it will hold a conference at 2 p.m. EST on Thursday, Dec. 2, to discuss “an astrobiology finding that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life”.

(The press conference on Thursday will be streamed here.) Via.
