VIDEO: Researchers Create Fully Functional Terminator Hand

Today in science catching up with science-fiction: German researchers have constructed a fully functional terminator hand. As the video demonstrates, this robot hand can emerge from baseball bat assaults totally unscathed, just like real terminators. My question: Why we are seeing more progress in the creation of machines that are supposed to wipe out humans rather than say, curing cancer? Anyway, the video of the creepy, moving robot fingers getting hit by bats is after the jump. How many years until we get the full T-100? Place your bets!

Evil Dead Trap Director Toshiharu Ikeda Dies at 60

Very sad news from Japan: It looks as though director Toshiharu Ikeda, who held a place on Movieline’s Halloween 25 horror film list for Evil Dead Trap , has been found dead. He is believed to have committed suicide by drowning. Besides a number of exploitation films in the early 80’s, including the fourth film in the internationally-infamous Angel Guts series, Ikeda was known in Japan for Mermaid Legend and the 2004 Tokyo International Film Festival selection The Man Behind the Scissors . Rest in peace. [ Jasper Sharp ]

To celebrate the gory, tongue-in-cheek vigilante tale about — yes — a homeless hero with a shotgun, the Hobo folks hosted a thematically relevant Bloody Mary hour this morning where Hauer walked in wielding his titular firearm and regaled Movieline with six important revelations/life lessons:

Jon Favreau Did Not Write the State of the Union Address

How about Barack Obama’s State of the Union address last night? Wasn’t it — um, muted? Yeah, it was. Still, that probably had more to do with the state of the country and the recent shootings in Arizona — plus the awkward bipartisan seating arrangement — than anything else. As such, let’s give it up to Jon Favreau for making chicken salad out of chicken you-know-what! Not that Jon Favreau. “Thanks for all the congratulations,” the Cowboys & Aliens director wrote on Twitter. “But I didn’t write the State of the Union address.” No truth to the rumor that Political Favreau — the president’s speech writer — walks around the White House talking about how he’s BFF with Robert Downey Jr. [ @Jon_Favreau ]
