One of my biggest regrets of this past Summer movie season was that of not seeing Duncan Jones’ directing debut Moon.

Featuring the always awesome Sam Rockwell as the lone person working on a moon base, it’s a smart sci-fi film that harks to an experimental era in filmmaking.  The trailers looked amazing, the reviews were solid, and it had a stunning poster (seen above), but yet I haven’t seen it yet.  Guess I’ll have to catch it on blu-ray.

Either way, apparently the posters that weren’t used, were just as stunning as seen in the gallery below. I love glimpses at things like this. I wish we could see this for all movies, just to see the thoughts in the marketing process.

batmanWe’ve featured the Lego work of Pixar animator/director/awesome guy Angus MacLane in the past with his sweet interpretation of Up protagonist Carl Fredricksen, but it seems he’s undertaken another great project with CubeDudes.

CubeDudes is is attempt to make mini-figure sized versions of all sorts of well known characters from the worlds of comics, movies and cartoons using Legos, and he’s really outdone himself here.  I’ve included a gallery of some of his creations, but I recommend going to the linked Flickr gallery to see them all.  Amazing work.

Wow, with all the rumors and hubub about Apple’s new tablet, who would’ve thought that Microsoft would be the one to leave tech nerds drooling over tablet possibilites?

In details released exclusively today by gadget blog Gizmodo, this amazing tablet called Courier features two elegant touch screens, allows for reading/writing/drawing, and overall looks genuinely astonishing.  I highly advise you click through at the bottom to view the video of the interface.  It’s beautiful.

While I had been certainly impressed by Microsoft’s work on the Zune, and making the 360 a more elegant gaming experience (the system’s known fragility issues aside), I didn’t think we’d see anything this amazing coming out of Redmond.

Well done.  Now, make it affordable!
