Since the “Blizzard of 2011” seems to be the hot topic in today’s news, it seemed fitting to post artist Colin McGreal‘s great Star Wars-themed photos of a blizzard, apparently from some time last year, depicting various “Hoth” scenes set in real world New York City. These are really cool. Check ’em out below!

According to a Tweet by LOST co-creator Damon Lindelof, 9,078 people played the New York Mega Millions Lottery last night, using LOST character Hugo “Hurley” Reyes’s (Jorge Garcia) “lucky” numbers from the TV series. Those numbers, being 4 8 15 16 23 42, won each person $150 since the winning numbers were 4-8-15-25-47 with a mega ball of 42!
Hurley’s numbers played a significant role on the series, both in bringing him extreme wealth ($156 million as a matter of fact) as well as extremely unlucky circumstances. They show up time and time again throughout the course of the series and end up tying in to the destinies of certain characters on “The Island.” Looks like 9,078 people – albeit a small, indirect way – have also partaken in this phenomenon.
I knew it! “The Island” is real!

Neither did I. Read on for more!

Right before the teaser trailer for Marvel‘s Thor was released, the first official poster for the film was unveiled to the public. While it’s a pretty cool, shadowy-looking poster, I actually found it to be quite similar to a little poster by Troublemaker Studios for another film that was released this past July. Take a look at the poster comparison after the jump!

After seeing the first teaser trailer for Dreamworks’ Real Steel, I’m sure many out there are now quite curious about the film and what director Shawn Levy‘s vision is for it. Clearly the movie is quite different from the comedies and family-friendly films he has done in the past (Night at the Museum, Date Night, etc.), so his latest “robot boxing” movie has been slowly generating a lot of buzz.
Collider.com recently posted a highly insightful interview with the director, which sheds a lot of light on the direction the film is going and what Levy intends to accomplish with it. Check out some of the highlights below!

As Back to the Future fans know, part of the second film in the trilogy takes place in the year 2015, and we all wanted the cool futuristic gizmos featured in the movie like hoverboards and flying cars.
Well, the year 2015 is not that far off, and, while we probably won’t have flying cars or hoverboards by then, Nike is currently working on a patent to develop self-lacing sneakers – very similar to what Marty McFly wore in Back to the Future II. Read on for details!
