If this sounds familiar, like youve heard this same story just over a year ago, then dont worry youre not crazy. Brian Fuller last season had tried to reboot the classic 60s comedy. A pilot was ordered, but the first script was less than satisfactory, so NBC didnt move ahead. In the past year things have changed as the new NBC chief Bob Greenblatt took over the network, and decided to keep The Munsters alive. Apparently Fuller has worked out the kinks in the initial script, and all steam ahead.
James Altucher is an investor, programmer, author, and entrepreneur. He is Managing Director of Formula Capital and has written 6 books on investing. His latest book is I Was Blind But Now I See. You can follow him@jaltucher.Iʼm writing this white sitting in a hotel room. To my left is the Pacific Ocean and all the magical San Francisco fog stuff people kept whispering to me about. About 12 floors downstairs Claudia is doing yoga in the gym.About four feet directly behind me is a woman that is a complete stranger to me who is having an unbelievably long orgasm. Thereʼs a wall between us. Hold on a second while I take a glass and listen against the wall.If there was no wall there then this whole thing would probably have been pretty awkward. I probably would not have been able to keep staring at the computer screen, for instance.

But I dont think more iPods and iPhones is the long-term legacy of Steve Jobs. Its much bigger. The greatest legacy of Steve Jobs is that he gave permission to everyone else to be a poet of computers, to be a businessman in blue jeans, to be a constructive misfit, a technological artist, a corporate renegade, to think different, and to remember the soul of the machine. Because of him we all have now learned to demand that technology reveal its beauty.
We were more than a little disappointed when Kevin Costner left Quentin Tarantinos Django Unchained a couple of weeks ago, but QT has recast someone even more awesome in the role: Kurt Russell.Yep, the former child actor and all-round 80s icon will be playing Ace, a cruel SOB who runs Calvin Candies Leonardo DiCaprio plantation with an iron fist, making the lives of the slaves unbearable.This isnt the first time Russell has stepped up to the plate for QT; he also replaced Mickey Rourke in Death Proof at the 11th hour and, in doing so, bagged one of his most badass roles in ages.With Ace, it sounds like Tarantino is going to exploit that side of Russell again, and we cant bloody wait to see the results.

Attack the Block (2011)
Here is a great review of Attack the Block from the good folks over at Zombie Emergency Response Operations. Right on target. We love this movie!
Attack the Block
A teen gang in South London defend their block from an alien invasion.
Shaun of the Dead (2004) meets Super 8 (2011)! An absolutely FUN sci-fi action comedy.
Props to writer/director Joe Cornish, for blurring the lines of fantasy and reality. This had great visuals and the characters felt real. Dark and vibrant at the same time. This urban sci-fi has something about it that just captures audiences…
Potty mouth kids battle “blackest black” creatures from another planet. The effects and creatures were simple and yet decent. What drove this film was the awesome bunch of troublemakers and their leader Moses. Played by 1st timerJohn Boyega - who did a good job as the rough and tough teen. The banter and wit was amusing to say the least.

Photography seems easy at first glance. You simply make your frame and press the shutter button. The reality is, everyone can take a photo but not all can master it. There’s more to photography than just simply “point and shoot.” Photography is a skill only a handful have the patience and the passion to stick with.Photography students and enthusiasts must educate themselves with many technical terms such as aperture, shutter speed, focus and exposure. You’ve probably read enough about that elsewhere, so how about a few photography effects? In this post I will share some photography tips and effects. They can enhance the beauty of your photos and they can be very fun to do, too.

Cyrus Sutton is a surfer. And hes reviewing Final Cut Pro X for Gizmodo. Why? Because hes one of the best surf flick directors in decades. His movies exude a summertime vibe I wish I could bottle up for winter.You see, most surfers are inherent detail oriented gear heads. Youre talking about a culture where a quiver of 6-12 boards isnt excessive, each with minute differences in shape and contour and material that turn out to cause varying rides on bumps of energy that happen to be passing through the water for a few fleeting seconds at a time. Waves. And Cyrus likes waves. Before he ran a site dedicated to a low-key DIY surfer lifestyle, korduroy.tv, he was a pro surfer representing some of the most commercialized big name surf brands out there.But Cyruss gearhead-ness comes in a form more relevant to us, as seen when he starts talking about his cameras, computer and the software that he uses to make his movies. And yet, Cyrus is one of those digital pros that has enough going on outside of the internet to be able to keep in touch with the needs of those of us who arent pros, too. Which reminds me a lot of what this version of Final Cut Pro stands for.

From the producer who tackled everything from England’s ghastly re-animation problem (Shaun of the Dead) to Scott Pilgrim’s ghastly “WORLD” problem, Attack the Block pits three members of a London housing project gang against the baddest lifeforms outer-space has to offer. In the process, this hilariously terrifying film shows how the youths so many believe will ultimately destroy civilization actually might just end up saving it, and in far more humorous fashion than a bunch of stodgy old adults whose idea of destroying other-worldly beings generally involves spraying water on them or giving them a computer virus — and considering their technology is light-years ahead of ours, they can probably handle something we only learned to defend against in 1998.
“The Big Lebowski” Compound. Six 1 bd cottages on a 10,628 sq ft lot, all just blocks to the beach and Abbot Kinney. These historic, bigger-than-average than average bungalows feature spacious side-yards, garage parking and a lushly landscaped courtyard. In 2005, property underwent major renovations, including new sewerline, roofing. This a perfect candidate for a residential subdivision. Compound was used as location for classic film “The Big Lebowski,” starring Jeff Bridges. note: tenants pay all utilities except water and trash.

“This is Apple’s worst release in history,” seethed one in an e-mail message. “Apple has absolutely no clue what professionals need. There are so many missing high-end features that we need, it should be called iMovie Pro.”
