Hi, I’m Amy. I like long walks in the graveyard, horror movies, comic books, and bringing you the latest in nerd-centric news.

Comedian Jay Leno has been released from the hospital after suffering severe burns. On November 12th, the comedian and car enthusiast was working on his 1907 white steam car in his garage. While fixing a clogged fuel line, there was a leak that sprayed gasoline onto his face, hands, and chest. Unfortunately, there was also a spark that triggered an explosion, which caught the gasoline on fire.  Luckily the former “The Tonight Show” host was not alone in the garage. His friend, known only as Dave, acted quickly and smothered the flames. But even with Dave’s swift action, the left…

Marvel Studios’ upcoming film adaptation of the “Blade” comic books has found a new director with Yann Demange! In late September, previously announced director Bassam Tariq (“Mogul Mowgli”) exited the project due to issues with scheduling. In early October, Marvel Studios announced they would be pausing production until a new director was found. Which is often a very risky move for studios, but one source claimed they were taking their time because they “want to really get it right.”  Production on “Blade” was supposed to start this month but instead, the studio took the time to revamp the script and…

Yacht designs for the ultra-wealthy just keep getting more and more elaborate, don’t they? Well, the Lazzarini Design Studio may have just won the game with their concept for the terayacht. Which is basically just a floating city adorably shaped like a giant turtle. The vessel is called Pangeos, a direct reference to Pangea, the supercontinent that existed millions of years ago. Specifically during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. It bills itself as “the floating city of the future,” of course only if you can afford it. This whole idea started back in 2009 when designer Pierpaolo Lazzarini…

Since their introduction in 1981 Chia Pets have gotten a bad reputation as a gift. They are often put in the company of last-minute or passive-aggressive gifts like fruit cakes. These mini gardens are often viewed as impersonal and just something you grab at the gas station when you have no clue what to get someone. But what if we told you there is more to Chia Pets than just the standard sheep-like figurine? At this point, the company has expanded its product line to include all sorts of hobbies and interests, even nerdy ones. Below we will look at…

At the last minute, Morissette dropped out of performing the Carly Simon classic. Rodrigo performed it solo during the November 5th ceremony. Morissette participated in rehearsals with Rodrigo, so this left many scratching their heads as to why. “When she ran through it the first time with Olivia, it seemed like they weren’t prepared,” an insider claimed. This led some to speculate that the singer may just not be up to the tune. That’s…
