    Best Buy Sale: Select Blu-ray Movies $9.99-$14.99

    Found in: Movies, Deal of the Day

         Pursuit of Happyness     

    After spending all day at the beach or with family at the backyard bbq, summer nights are a great time to relax and catch up on your favorite movies.

    Best Buy has a variety of classics to choose from, titles like “The Graduate,” “The 40-year-old Virgin,” and “Road House”… (“I want you to be nice, until it’s time to not be nice!” heheh, sorry, there are some great lines in that one) can be scooped up for under $15.

        Corpse Bride   

    Or if you’d like to work on your vocabulary and revolutionary tactics, “V for Vendetta” is $9.99. You’ll forgive me if I skip past the “Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” however, “Day of the Dead” is a fun family flick. Okay not really, but you get my point. Maybe Tim Burton’s “Corpse Bride” would be a better choice for the kiddies.

    Whatever your liking, this deal is only happening until Saturday so get to gettin’!

    Swim Safely in a Galaxy, Far Far Way: Star Wars Inflatables

     Star Wars Inflatables

    If they ever was a reason I’d be afraid to drown in the kiddy pool, those reasons are all gone now.

    And for this reason and one reason only: Star Wars inflatables!

    Sure, this thing will help you stay afloat, but it’s the ability to have your own X-Wing that excites me. And sure, all it takes is one dart to put you out of commission, but it’s worth it!

    Now if Princess Leia was serving me cocktails in a bikini, I’d never leave poolside.

    Some people have told me to grow up, but I tell them, they should stop taking life seriously at 30.

    Smell Like a Trekkie: Star Trek Fragrances

    Star Trek Fragrances

    Have you always wondered about the scent of a Klingon?

    I wonder if Captain Kirk smells of rich mahogany with a hint of musk…hmm.

    Well, now all your age old questions about the men and women of Star Trek have been answered.

    With the new Star Trek movie set to be released in the near future, their marketing campaign is up to full speed. They’re now releasing a line of Star Trek fragrances to be released in April. They’ll range from $30-$40 a bottle with three different scents: “Tiberius”, “Red Shirt” and “Ponn Farr.”

    How come Spock is getting no love? I think as a limited offer, they should offer a pair of Vulcan ears with each purchase.

    I can see it now: Spock Ears + “Tiberius” aroma = Chick Magnet.

    Eat your heart out.

    Golden! AT-AT Walker iPod Dock Painted Gold

     Golden AT-AT iPod Dock

    For those of you who have been looking for an unconventional iPod dock, or maybe you’re looking for that “different” dock that can also help satisfy that geeky, Star Wars side of you.

    Well, look out cause someone has just made your dreams come true. And in gold!

    So basically, the only thing special about it is that it’s spray painted gold, so don’t think that this is some commemorative issued iPod dock. The speaker dock is just slapped right there on the tush of the AT-AT. Basically you can make this thing yourself, then again, you’d probably end up painting yourself like a golden fairy, so leave it to the experts.

    Let the Force Be With You: Now You Too Can Become a Jedi

    Finally, a toy out there than can help manipulate minds!

    Well, it hasn’t been proven yet, but it’s awfully close.

    Toy maker Uncle Milton has come up with Force Trainer game. A game that utilizes the Neurosky’s brainwav-controlled gaming technology. Simply the child dons a wireless headset that communicate with a simplified EEG. And if that child concentrates hard enough, the young Jedi can raise a ball in the small 10-inch “training sphere.

    Why am I bit intimidated by this toy? Is there soon to be a rebellion of children 12-and-under.

    I can see he now:

    Dad: “Timmy, eat your vegetables”

    Timmy: “No. You will eat the vegetables and bark like a dog.”

    Timmy waves his hand.

    “Ruff.”

    Japanese Advertisements Are Now Watching YOU

    Minority Report

    You’ve seen them everywhere. Billboards and advertisements. But how long do you actually stair at them or even really pay any attention.

    Well, now those in Japan have come up with a process that actually watches you to see which advertisements grab the attention of the average spectator. The study is going to begin in January, where a camera is going to be placed above a display and equipped with facial recognition software.

    “It uses image detection software. We gathered together many faces and came up with an average Japanese face, and by using pattern matching the system recognizes faces from the image.

    Hmm…I’m not gonna lie, this is a bit creepy. The article was right. This does seem like a scene out of the movie Minority Report.

    Well, it looks like if you’re Japanese, you’re out of luck if want to show your displeasure with the ad. But if you’re the All-American white guy who happens to be in a Tokyo subway, proceed to flip the bird to ad if you don’t like it.

    So yesterday I was bored and decided to hit up the Keanu flick, “The Day the Earth Stood Still.” Needless to stay, I wasn’t so impressed and had more fun picking the salt off my pretzel. But the suspense of me waiting for Keanu to say “whoa” is what kept me tuned in.

    But through all the misery, there was one good thing that came out of it. The new trailer for X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I’m not gonna lie, I’m a little excited, especially to see some new characters like Gambit.

    Click on the image to see the trailer.
