Why Alden Ehrenreich Is an Inspired Choice for the 'Han Solo' Spin-off
To be completely fair, I have not been that pumped up about the upcoming young Han Solo movie as the next Star Wars spin-off. Not to give a wrong vibe here, since Han Solo is one of my favourite movie characters and I see no reason why this movie hasn't got the potential to be awesome.

What It Means To Be "Conscious"
I am currently writing a book that describes 50 of my most life changing experiences on different psychedelic drugs, entitled (for now) "Trip Report: Five Years of Psychonautic Activity". This is the preface to that unfinished book.

Here Come The Men In Black: Westworld's Time Time Travel Theory Is A Mindblower!
Warning: Spoilers for Westworld Episode 3 'The Stray' ahead! With Westworld theories coming thick and fast, it looks like HBO's all-star Western is becoming more like an episode of Sherlock than your standard John Wayne outing. The latest Westworld puzzler proposes a twist that seems plucked from the screenplay of Saw IV — are we actually seeing two different timelines play out on the plains of the wild, wild, West? If so, the truth about Ed Harris's Man in Black has been right in front of our noses this whole time.

What Do Corridor Fight Scenes Reveal About The Future Of CGI & Practical Effects In The SFX Industry?

Adults, watching cartoons, pfft, what sorcery is this! We all do it, so don't pretend like you don't.

We will (finally) pick up Season 2's cliffhanger ending when the series flies in its third season by the end of the year. As we continue to grow old waiting for the show return, here is something to quench your cartoon thirst in the meantime.

Life in 2050
2017 has given the planet its fair share of miseries and it's hard not to imagine oneself in the distant future, far away from the incessant click of phones and barrage of selfies (including my own, check my selfie it's my best yet). Technology and AI are making great leaps and bounds. The first female robot has been given citizenship of Saudi Arabia and you now have the option of consulting your doctor from your phone. For some reason the Conservative party still wants to remain in 1500 but that's ok, like climate change deniers it's likely they will catch up to the rest of the population in a century or so.
