Auroras look amazing when you are gazing up into the night sky, so imagine how they look from space. You don’t have to, actually, because the folks at Science at NASA have put together this little video for us. There should be some great Aurora displays coming up in the next few years, since the sunspot cycle peaks in 2013.

This Sunday we will see the first full trailer, but here is both the teaser to the trailer and a shorty trailer for the new Total Recall project. I normally don’t post twice on the same day, but this is Philip K. Dick, people!
Yes, the new season looks good already, and still has a touch of Amy and the US in it…
It was Leonard Nimoy’s birthday yesterday (Happy Birthday, Leonard!), so it seemed like the perfect week to post his video with Bruno Mars on the Lazy Song. If you haven’t seen this one yet, it is wonderfully silly and shows you just how comedic Nimoy can be without even using words.
I love the weeks like this that have several things to choose from. For silly fun I would have to vote for Mirror Mirror, where Julia Roberts played the Evil Queen (that had to be a hoot for her). I was rather surprised to find a serious coding flaw on their web page; when you start playing the trailer, the music track that auto-play’s when you go to the site just keeps on playing. If you are looking for a film that takes itself a lot more seriously (possibly to the edge of pompousness) then you probably want Wrath of the Titans. Also this week an indi post-apocalypse film called Dead Weight looks to be the most promising thinking person’s film this time around.
Confucius: Live Action Movie is something a bit different for legendary screen star Chow Yun-fat, as well as history itself. It looks like it could be a lot of fun, though. Which is good, because it seems to be the only interesting film out this week.
Eureka: Season 4.5 was a lot of fun, and it took the show in a whole new direction. They will finish the series with season 5, but so far every season has been better than the one before it.
In anime, Dream Eater Merry – Complete Collection looks sufficiently surreal, being a story about a boy who sees other peoples dreams, the army of cats who want to posses him to take over the world, and the demon girl who wants to break back into the world of dreams but is trapped in our world instead. But then Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo – The Complete Series Part 1 is possibly even more off the wall, to the point I don’t think I can describe it; check the web site link for details. Part 1 runs episodes 1 through 38, there are a bunch more coming in part 2.
