This 20 foot long, eight foot wide Batmobile is one of five original props used in Tim Burton’s first Batman movie. Of course, it’s utterly impractical.

You have to enter through the roof, the eight cylinder Chevrolet 350 engine won’t be giving you Prius-like fuel economy, and finding spares might be a problem. But who cares? It’s the Batmobile.

Here’s the seller’s description:

Na na na na na na na na na na BATMAN. That is what your neighbors will say when you pull into the driveway. How many people do you know that have a Ferrari, a Mercedes, a Lamborghini, or a Corvette? My guess would be there is at least one of these in your neighborhood. Now how many Batmobiles are in your neighborhood. None, because there were a total of 5 of these cars made.

Sure, it costs half a million bucks, but what’s that to a millionaire socialite like you?

Here is an awesome remake of the Lightcycle scene from TRON comeplete with the soundtrack taken from the film by Steven Lisberger:

Stop motion and animation is so cool. You just gotta love fellow geeks with too much time on their hands.

Tron is in my top 10 movie list for sure. I think tonight I’ll watch the DVD now that I’m thinking about it.

This is the most adorable 1 minute and 30 second video ever. Seriously. This little girl is a star and she explains the movie really well for a 3 year old.

The father of the little girl had this to say about the making of the video:

She wasn’t coached to say anything, nor was she forced to make the video. She rarely stops talking.

Believe it or not, she has the seem the movie only once, and I spread it out over 3 days so it wouldn’t be too much all at once for her.

The video was edited to make it shorter, more cohesive and hopefully funnier. I did move some of the lines around so it would make more sense.

Amazing that she can tell the story about the movie and only saw it once over a 3 day period?!?! She’ll probably grow up to be a rocket scientist or something smart like that

Listening to a radio show tonight they mentioned a new Indiana Jones movie coming out on May 22.

The trailer sounds pretty exciting, so I went searching for it and thanks to YouTube, here is the trailer:

I’m really looking forward to seeing this movie. Watching this trailer makes me want to break out my Indiana Jones trilogy DVD box set and get back up to speed on all things Indiana Jones.

The U.S. government spends $7.5 billion to classify its information each year — that’s more taxpayer dollars than we annually put into the Department of Commerce.

But over-the-top secrecy policies aren’t just an expensive governmental habit. They give the President, the military and intelligence agencies powers far beyond what our founding fathers intended.

At least that’s the case made in Robb Moss and Peter Galison’s documentary Secrecy.

Though apparently too heady and subtle for the demands of the marketplace, it hasn’t caught on with Sundance buyers yet, however the film shines valuable light on a particularly troubling trend in American governance. Read the rest…

This is awesome! The music video for “The Touch” by Stan Bush which was featured in the original 1986 Transformers movie:

The 1980’s were a great and fun time to be a kid. As they say on VH-1… I Love the 80’s
