Win Obsessed On DVD Now, Please
Obsessed, now that was a brilliant film. Just like Fatal Attraction, but none of the women had stupid haircuts and you didn't see Michael Douglas' nipples. Brilliant. And even more brilliant is the fact that, because it's out on DVD next week, we've got three copies of Obsessed to give to you. You'll like it - it's just like Dreamgirls except Beyonce doesn't burst into song all the poxy time and there's a fistfight at the end of it. Brilliant. The Obsessed competition details are after the jump...

Awesome or Off-Putting: The Chronovisor, A Time Travelling TV-ish Thingy
Awesome or Off-Putting is a weekly delve into cryptozoology, ufology, aliens, medical marvels, scientific wonders, secret societies, government conspiracies, cults, ghosts, EVPs, ancient artifacts, strange facts, odd sightings or just the plain unexplainable. The trouble with time travel is that if you go to the past and step on a butterfly, that butterfly's family will then travel to the future and murder you and everyone you love. We can't remember how that old adage goes, actually. That makes the Chronovisor, invented by Father Pellegrino Ernetti, quite convenient. On it, you see, you can view the past without disturbing it - TV style.

Awesome Or Off-Putting: The Hexham Heads & The Werewolf That Watches Them
Awesome or Off-Putting is a weekly delve into cryptozoology, ufology, aliens, medical marvels, scientific wonders, secret societies, government conspiracies, cults, ghosts, EVPs, ancient artifacts, strange facts, odd sightings or just the plain unexplainable. Every now and again someone, somewhere finds little stone heads for which gigantic, misshapen wolves always come hunting. Well to be sure, we said 'every now and again' - but we meant it only happened once that we've heard of. And incidentally - those wolves we mentioned, well they don't just track you as you and your over-sized Spider-Man backpack walk to school - they angrily plod through your house too. Searching all the while.

Awesome or Off-Putting: Black Eyed Kids
Awesome or Off-Putting is a weekly delve into cryptozoology, ufology, aliens, medical marvels, scientific wonders, secret societies, government conspiracies, cults, ghosts, EVPs, ancient artifacts, strange facts, odd sightings or just the plain unexplainable. Ghosts are passe and Sasquatch seems about as scary as a bucket full of lollipops. Whatever is the former world of terror/monsters to do? Why, they need to invent some sort of a new creature to fear - and by new creature, we mean of course, children. Not just any children though - needy ones with black eyes. Black eyed children, it seems, are a fairly new epidemic.

So after the jump you'll find an avalanche of World Contraception Day-related photos and videos and links. And if you love me you'll look...

Megan Fox’s Body Doesn’t Convince People To Watch Movie!
Over the weekend, the latest Megan Fox movie opened for business, then whimpered its way through the first few nights, barely creating a ripple on the vast Hollywood ocean. Meanwhile the cartoon about meatballs caused a splash the size of Philip Seymour Hoffman high diving into a shot glass. What in hellfire is going on here? The Megan Fox film is called "Jennifer's Body", it's got Fox playing the part of "Jennifer". Surely that makes it Megan Fox's body, no? Who wouldn't want to see a film about Megan Fox's body? The answer to that question is this: barely anyone. Especially not on a massive cinema screen, where it would be ten times more intense, and twenty-three times bigger. Has everyone turned gay? Again, the answer is a resounding "no". Not everyone has turned gay. Some people might have, but that probably had little to do with this particular actress, and more to do with genetics, hormones, and an insatiable urge to wear swimming knickers instead of long Bermuda-style trunks. No, the real reason that the masses have avoided this horror-slash-comedy romp is that Fox is fast becoming rather difficult to like.
