Woah… don’t mess with Basement cat. Srsly.

Source Code itself is a mix between the Bourne films and Quantum Leap and sees our hero (played by Jake Gyllenhaal)  leaping into the body of a man who has only 8 minutes left to live and when I say leaping I mean leaping.

The leaper (Jake) is transported into the body of his doomed flesh donor from the future through the use of a strange computerised device. When he arrives he’s disorientated, has partial to total amnesia but usefully manages to retain all of his skills and language abilities from before the leap. There’s no Al and no Ziggy and throughout he only ever leaps into one person’s body but really now… I hope Scott Bakula at least gets an invite to the premier.

The time travel device (let’s call it the accelerator) taps into something called the Source Code and allows users to experience the last 8 minutes of anyone’s life before it vomits the user back out into the present. Our hero Jake therefore finds himself as a passenger on a train that’s destined to explode exactly 8 minutes after he realises what’s going on and he has just those 8 minutes to work out who causes the explosion and why.

Here’s the trailer so see for yourself.

As a huge fan of Quantum Leap, 12 monkeys, the Bourne films and that other film with Tom cruise and the precogs whose name escapes me… I think this is going to be great fun to watch. That is of course as long as the film lasts longer than the 8 minutes it takes Jake to explode.

Enjoy! (we did)

Another excellent one take music video from OK Go and it’s filled with cute (and clever) doggies. Win!

The people that do this job must get paid a bloody fortune, also where are their parachutes!

This week’s walk down memory lane revisits a surprisingly creepy video from late 2007 in which a series of everyday chocolate rabbits meet a disturbingly grizzly end.

Some people prefer the heavy metal remix… we included it after the jump so you can decide for yourself. Enjoy!

Reminiscent of the Vitalic video “Poney – Part 1″ from 2006 and recently copied for a dog food advert by “Pedigree” we love this video. How can you go wrong with 1000fps? Oh and for those of you that missed it first time round… Here’s the Vitalic Music video. Woof!

Yet more proof is it were needed about how excellent the internet is for science and education. Sure for many of us making our own glowsticks is going to be expensive and impractical in our tiny (shedless) appartments but hey; what does that beginner’s guide to electronics and chemistry sitting on our shelves say about us if not… “here lives a dreamer. One day he will own a shed.”
