Second time I’ve seen this on my dash today and I feel the need to clarify: These are not a newly discovered species.
 
Giant wetas have been known for decades.
 
Also, this is terrible reporting by the Sun and the Telegraph. They describe this specimen as being the biggest ever found, yet provide no information about its size, minus wing span. The only characteristic we learn of it is that it “can eat carrots.” Body length, actual weight (“as much as three mice” is not a measurement), none of this matters because it “CAN EAT CARROTS!”
 
Fun fact about the weta: The largest known specimen was a female that weighed 71g (2.5oz) and had a body length of more than 85mm (3.4in), however they average roughly 35g.
 
Compare that with the Titan Beetle, which can grow to 16.7 cm (6.5in) long and weigh up to one pound and have mandibles that can break a pencil in half and cut into human flesh.
 
Here it is:

Atari’s updated take on Asteroids is pretty swell, actually. But I definitely miss the inertia. You can’t just float around anymore, and that’s a big loss. 
 
I find myself wishing, hoping that Maelstrom will make an appearance in the App Store. Now that was a classic take on Asteroids.

A new Asia could evolve in which China exercises more power and influence than it has before, but does not dominate, and in which America no longer exercises primacy, but still plays a large and vital role. In short, an Asia in which the US and China share power. This should be Australia’s vision of Asia’s future. We do not want to live under... - http://mrshl.net/post...

Atari Symbol - by George Opperman
 
George Opperman, Atari’s first hired artist, created the ”fuji” Atari symbol in 1972. “George tells us that the corporate logo basically represents a stylized letter ‘A’ to stand for ‘Atari.’ He did have an added inspiration in designing the symbol, though. Back in 1972, Atari’s claim to fame was ‘Pong,’ and George says the two side pieces of the Atari symbol represent two opposing video game players, with the center line of the ‘Pong’ court in the middle.

I See What You Did There, Film Comment.
 
(apologies for the eye-strain, click to enlarge)
 
Film Comment’s Laura Kern finds a clever way to cut her workload in half, doubling her vitriol for 2 new films in the process.
 
for what it’s worth, your humble host doesn’t think that either of these films deserve such scorn, but… ya know… i see what you did there.
 
p.s. folks, no one’s getting fired for this. this isn’t something that snuck by some of the sharpest editors in contemporary film criticism. it’s merely Kern’s effective (if reductive) means of playing these 2 films against one another in order to illustrate how they mutally expose their shared banalities… it’s not a point with which i agree, but it is a point well made.
