“Predators” Trailer Is a Cinematical Tyrannosaurus
by MICHAEL TUNISON / MOVIES / SCI-FI
The first official trailer for the Predator reboot has arrived, and it actually looks like it’s shaping up to be some quality mindless entertainment. And any way filmmakers find a way to shoehorn Danny Trejo into a trashy summer action movie is fine by me. Of course, having Robert Rodriguez helming the project made that choice all the more logical.
In tangentially related news, German scientists have developed an invisibility cloak that means in the infrared spectrum in three dimensions, which could help protect you from a Predator, except, as the trailer plainly tells us, they LEARN and ADAPT. Obviously the Austrians will always be better equipped to dispatch Predators than the Germans.

Concerned With Facebook Privacy?
There are tools to help if you are concerned with Facebook privacy. And if you were unsure you should be concerned with your privacy on Facebook. The CNN SciTechBlog highlights four of them. Why can’t Google and Facebook chill out a little and not be so concerned with knowing every detail about us in order to monetize every penny they can. Clam down, guys, we just want to use the damn internet. If we want to buy something we’ll let you know.
THREADZombie Awareness Month?
So we can just make up awareness months now? The Zombie Research Society has dubbed May ‘Zombie Awareness Month,’ and it doesn’t appear to be a joke, maybe. You are encouraged to wear a gray ribbon to signify your awareness of zombies for the month of May. This can not be real. On their website they offer a lifetime membership in the society for $25. This is ingeniously crazy. I totally just liked the ZRS on FB.
THREADThe NFL Throwing TV Elbows
Is the NFL a television juggernaut or what? NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said ratings are up 30% from last year’s draft. Thursday night was the first ever NFL draft in prime time, and the major networks will have to take notice when the official ratings come out. Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com reports the league is declaring last night’s first round a success and speculates the draft in prime time will most likely become a yearly tradition. Next year I am predicting there will be a lot of reruns aired against the draft if the networks are smart… which they aren’t.
