Time Trap


Time Trap is a gut-bursting hilarious sci-fi comedy romp through the multi-verse. When a cosmic engineer's ship richochets through an asteroid field and crash lands on a long-abandoned planet, he must use a chronological travel device known as a "time trap" to scavenge replacement parts throughout the planet's past and repair his ship to return home. What happens along the way is a series of hysterical vignettes and jaw-dropping special effects.


With a Doctor Who-style theatrics and a Looney Tunes flair for physical comedy, Time Trap is tightly-packed, well-oiled machine of a short film that lands its punches and never runs out of ways to surprise you. Director Michael Shanks is a VFX-wunderkind, with only 23 years of life under his belt and already courting the attention and talent of industry folks like Guy Pearce. We're keeping our eyes on this guy.

'Terminator: Genisys' Trailer Goes Back To The Future To Return To The Past



Terminator: Genisys (Genesis? je ne sais quoi?) is the fifth and latest installment in the long-running sci-fi action film series and yes, yet another reboot featuring Sarah Connor, her messianic apocalypse-fighter son John, and Arnold Schwarzenegger once again reprising his role as the titular killer-cyborg turned stalwart protector.

Something's rotten in the state of the multi-verse, and Sarah (Emilia Clark) must once again team up alongside her soon-again-to-be love interest Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) to prevent yet another mercury-morphing killing machine from extinguishing humanity's one last hope for survival. But can the couple manage to succeed where their countless other incarnations have failed? Can they prevent the inevitable "Judgement Day"?

Polished Chrome and Pearly White

The Terminator series has always had a fondness for reboots and reinterpretations, but that's to be expected from a series about hyper-intelligent murder-mechas and the human rebels who fight them sending each other back and forth across time in a chrono-cataclysmic cat-and-mouse game for supremacy and survival. I'm intrigue by the premise, if only out of love of the original Judgement Day. Though this trailer makes me wonder, can the Terminator franchise ever really exist without Schwarzenegger?

Terminator: Genisys is slated for next summer, July 1st, 2015.

How Time Travel Works



You know what time it is? Supercut Time! About time travel. TIME. This supercut by Flavorwire puts together a crapload of scenes from a variety of the most popular time travel movies. Each one explains their version of how the fictional (or is it...?) idea of time travel works. From special cars, black holes, and even hot tubs there a lot of theories as to how such a an occurrence can come about. I can't explain it myself, "I don't know tech stuff." Got any theories? Leave a comment!

Destiny



In today's animated short, we find ourselves admiring this student animation appropriately called "Destiny". A man gets ready in the morning, just as he always does, and somehow finds all of his clocks malfunctioning. At that moment, the unthinkable happens. But he's somehow granted a new opportunity to change his, you guessed it, destiny. In a series of events that remind me of the scene in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, where he explains how each individual event can have an impact on the next.

The Upright Citizens Brigade Encourages You To Drive Recklessly



The Upright Citizens Brigade Midnight show does it again, this time making fun of those overly melodramatic AllState Insurance commercials that go for the shock factor to hock overprice car coverage. However, in this instance we are asked, what if there are such things as 'happy accidents?' The twist would make M. Night Shyamalan proud. Bonus ad after the break!

Chinese Government Bans Time Travel From Television


You can't make this s**t up.
The government of China has banned all depictions of time travel on Chinese television. Time travel is on the list of activities that have been banned for scriptwriters and directors since March 31 that includes reincarnation and feudal superstitions.

'Many stories are totally made up and are made to strain for an effect of novelty. The producers and writers are treating serious history in a frivolous way, which should by no means be encouraged any longer,' Li Jingsheng, head of television drama at Sarft, said.
It has been stressed that the censorship is not an outright ban but rather a clamping down, which means programme makers will have to adhere to stricter rules.

I guess this means China truly has the secret for Time Travel. They should go back in time and prevent time travel from being created thus causing a major time paradox and erasing time and space.

Maybe it's for the best.
