Because of its incredible popularity the original advertising paper on this film was used extensively traveling through the several rungs of distributorship until the ragged remnants were finally discarded. This is the first poster we have offered on the title and the only copy of this unique window card that we have seen. ” Heritage Auctions where this 14″ x 22″ window card sold for $19,120 in 2008.

Chris Martin brought Corden on stage — dressed as a long lost fifth Coldplay member — to pay tribute to Prince with a surprisingly great cover of "Nothing Compares 2 U." It's a delight to behold, and a convincing argument for Corden's very own solo "Carpool Karaoke" segment.
When the robots come for our weak human flesh during the Singularity, let's hope they're at least as cute as the Xpider, a robot being developed by a small team in Beijing.
The developers, who were originally inspired by the cyclops character, Mike, from Monsters, Inc., created a tiny spider-like machine that can walk, recognize objects and detect and record faces via its camera eye.
The team used 3D-printed components and Intel Edison and Curie modules, which were both designed to make it easier for open source device creators to quickly develop innovative prototypes and products.
Weighing just 150 grams, the robot isn't available just yet, but the team is planning to launch a crowdfunding campaign soon, which means the Xpider might be commercially available in the near future. Read more...
