It’s true that the “Jupiter Ascending” trailer makes the otherwise scrumptious Channing Tatum look like the douchiest elf in all of Middle-Earth. But the troubling part of the movie isn’t the prosthetic ears—it’s the insidious idea that only people fated to do great things can become heroes. Angry Nerd has other ideas about saving the world (again).

Honestly, Angry Nerd probably won’t see Fifty Shades of Grey. But he gets it. He does. Because poorly-written “romance” novels are right in geek culture’s wheelhouse. “Fifty Shades” is just fan-fiction—erotic and “Twilight”-derived and not in space, but fanfic nonetheless. Nerd’s built fan fiction from the ground up, and fan-fiction is what’s behind today’s biggest blockbusters.

Elon Musk recently unveiled Tesla Energy and the Powerwall home battery. I'll attempt to cut through the hype and break down the basics. NOTE: One of the most important things we neglected to mention in the video is that a big part of the appeal for this system is not economical, but environmental. It may not be easier on the wallet (at least not yet) but you're powering your home with green energy instead of fossil fuels, and there's a lot to be said for that. -Brent
