Yesterday a huge typhoon hit Taiwan and China, and it’s still too early to accurately measure the death toll and damage, but estimates are grim. To get some appreciation of what it might have been like – and what any number of other massively destructive weather systems might be like – we’ve weathered The 10 [...]

The Golden Gate Bridge celebrates its 72nd birthday today, and to celebrate we’ve rounded up some of its most memorable big screen appearances. As our colleague Henry Stewart wrote recently, San Francisco has become the go-to movie disaster site, so you’ll notice a slew of very recent films in the mix. Our favorite of The [...]

So, as we noted earlier, X-Men Origins: Wolverine comes out today, and having already seen it we can safely say that young Wolverine’s bony claws are even weirder than the metal implants he acquires near the film’s end. Still, there are worse augmented fingers and cyborg hands to be stuck with, as our listicle of [...]

Like any great comic book character, Wolverine (whose origin story movie comes out today) is a costume party favorite. But with so many versions of Wolverine to work from (movies, comics, cartoons, etc.) there’s an incredible variety of costuming results, some of which are not so hot. Unreality chronicles some disasters in their listicle of [...]

It’s funny, we’re always disappointed to learn that a character we’ve come to love isn’t actually as original and unique as we thought. Like our uncle Ted, who we thought was just the sweetest guy, but turned out to be a documentary filmmaker making a life-long project about the decline of the modern family. That’s [...]

Film trilogies, and the various fluctuations of the franchise as it expands, are hotly debated topics that virtually everybody has their piece to speak about. Thankfully, Dan Meth has put all the squabbling to rest with this helpful infographic rating each installment of 21 Movie Trilogies.

We remember obsessively checking Fox’s now-defunct auction website to see how much a seat from the X-Men’s airplane was going for. We’re not sure what price it ended up fetching, but our bid of $26.95 sure didn’t last long. Clearly, though, that was just small peanuts compared to the prices some folks pay for a [...]

In preparation for this week’s edition of our psychoanalysticle, Freudian Fridays, we’ve been reading up on this fascinating new research whereby doctors and scientists have been able to track the brain chemistry of coupling mammals. After all, what could be more Freudian than libido-liberating animal sex? More interestingly though, the research could eventually lead to [...]

If the 2008 U.S. Presidential election proved anything (aside from the unassailable fact the we live in a post-race, soon to be post-oil society), it showed that we’re still a culture who enjoy a fun good v. bad, black v. white duel. Unreality picked up on that love of the good fight with this terrific [...]

It’s true, we’re rather skeptical about knee-jerk revisions, sequels, prequels, reunion tours, side-projects, spin-offs, franchises and disastrous re-vamps, but the film world is where we’ve found the greatest number of exceptions to this informal rule. Arguing that newer and bigger can be better, Unreality’s David Madison offers proof with a listicle of equal or superior [...]
