A passenger jet is to be deliberately crash-landed as part of a scientific experiment on Channel 4 that the broadcaster hopes will be one of its biggest hits of next year.

Two pilots will parachute from the 300-seat airliner after setting it on autopilot to crash at high speed into the desert. The plane will be loaded with cameras and sensors recording the impact of the crash, which Channel 4 said would provide invaluable information about how planes react in potentially fatal accidents.

[...]

In a separate programme, Channel 4 will recreate a typical row of 1940s terraced houses before blowing them up with bombs identical to those used by the German airforce during the war, including a V2 rocket.

Bacon is life, indeed.

Plenty of ways to watch television on the PC, and plenty of ways to watch the webcasts, but what to watch?
Lifehacker has a nice list of links to visit.

Comedy Central has resurrected the former Fox animated SF series Futurama, ordering 13 episodes to debut in 2008, Variety reported. The deal builds on the cable network’s acquisition of the 72-episode library last fall.

Discussions about a revival of the half-hour show began in earnest earlier this year between Futurama producer 20th Century Fox Television and series creators Matt Groening and David X. Cohen. A sticking point, which has been resolved, had been bringing back the cast, who hadn’t worked on new episodes for the show since it left the air in August 2003.

Voice actors Billy West, Katey Sagal and John DiMaggio are on board for the new episodes, which will continue the story of Fry (West), a pizza delivery boy who was accidentally frozen for 1,000 years and who wakes up in the future.

Aptly enough, it’s named “Don’t bomb us” – probably because Washington’s resident chimpansee wants to blow them up because of their annoying habit of reporting on current events in Iraq.

Mouseover, clickety-click..

It’s sounds to me like a word for describing the act of coughing up feces, but no – it’s the name of a manufactured girl group targeting 8-year olds with a significantly sub-average IQ. Hey, it’s a HUUUGE segment, right, don’t diss this shit!

Check out the awesomeness that is Huckapoo here. Turn the volume down if you’re at work, or people just might start buying you Barbie dolls for your next birthday..

Radosh.net has an excellent summary right here. Actually, read that first. Background here.

Now everyone will die the primitive way!

Somebody get me a copy of this..

The same scream has been used in countless Hollywood movies over and over again for the past 50 years..

The Wilhelm Scream

In the Summer of 2001, Jason Scott, a computer historian (and proprietor of the textfiles.com history site) wondered if anyone had made a film about these BBSes. They hadn’t, so he decided he would.

Four years, thousands of miles of travelling, and over 200 interviews later, “BBS: The Documentary”, a mini-series of 8 episodes about the history of the BBS, is now available. Spanning 3 DVDs and totalling five and a half hours, this documentary is actually eight documentaries about different aspects of this important story in the annals of computer history.

Drama series about the warez scene. No. Really.

Seriously.

I can’t imagine it appealing to Joe Blow, but I’m on episode 3 myself.

Fanfic new episodes for season 9 + 10. W. T. F.

George Lucas is describing the forthcoming finale to his Star Wars series as “Titanic in space.”

Oh boy..

Obviously, fans would love to see a movie about Darth Vader running around killing people. I’m not telling that story, and I’m not interested in that. That’s not what the movie is.

What an asshat. The one thing everyone was hoping for and he deliberately doesn’t do it. Seriously, after the horrible suckfest of Ep I & II you’d think the man would have the decency to provide us with some action packed Jedi carnage, but noooo Mr Midichlorians has to make a point by giving us 2 hours of rendered steaming dogshit.

I’m still going to see it, though.

Also, the marketing madness is about to start again.

.. but I’m guessing it is. I mean, it made me go wtf and I’m fairly cynical to start off with. Most of the stuff you see in media is fake. That definitely includes things like bikini models. There are zooms tabs on the left. Don’t skip those.
