Danielle Tunstall’s Horror-Themed Portrait Photography
Photos by Danielle Tunstall.
Earlier this month, Gizmodo's sister site SPLOID shared some photos from UK photographer/graphic designer Danielle Tunstall. However, despite being spotlit at the beginning of December, Tunstall's photos are better suited for Halloween. The portraits, some of which you can see below, are rooted in shock horror with their focus on the grotesque. What some might find…
Inherent Vice is like Airplane? Surely You Can’t Be Serious
The first hints of what Inherent Vice was like came in July. Paul Thomas Anderson screened his new movie months early for select writers and industry people, and word got out about what they saw. Various impressions were compiled by Kevin Jagerrnauth over at The Playlist, including the following insider assessment: "It's BONKERS—weird, weird, weird. It made me laugh out loud several times, but…
What The CIA Torture Report Says About Humanity
The Senate Intelligence Committee's report into the CIA's use of torture is finally being published, albeit in heavily redacted form. To begin, let's focus on what little positivity can be gleaned from a situation in which even our most forgiving hopes of living in a moral, compassionate society are surely set to be torn apart, piece by piece.

[Weekly Netflix Fix] How I Met Your Mother: Season 9, The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete
After nine long years, How I Met Your Mother reached its finale earlier this year. While the notorious ending was met with almost widespread dislike (I was neutral to it), you can't help but want to re-watch the amazing show's final season and see how Ted and the Mother first met. After all, Cristin Milioti is just so beautiful... Another fine addition to the new batch of Netflix Instant titles…
Bill Murray Supports an All-Female Ghostbusters Reboot
Despite the lack of activity over the years, I always felt confident that Ghostbusters 3 would eventually be made. However, with Harold Ramis' untimely departure earlier this year (and Bill Murray's continued disinterest in the sequel), those hopes have all but been dashed. With that said, there were rumors that Paul Feig (Freaks and Geeks, Bridesmaids) would take over the director's chair from…

What happens when you combine an iconic director with an iconic punk rock band? We'll find out in a few years as it's being reported that Martin Scorsese (The Wolf of Wall Street, The Departed, et al) will be directing a biopic on none other than legendary New York punk band The Ramones. No concrete information is available right now as Scorsese has a plethora of other projects currently in…
