In the last moments of World War II, a secret Nazi space program evaded destruction by fleeing to the Dark Side of the Moon. During 70 years of utter secrecy, the Nazis construct a gigantic space fortress with a massive armada of flying saucers.
When American astronaut James Washington puts down his lunar lander a bit too close to the secret Nazi base, the Moon Führer decides the glorious moment of retaking the Earth has arrived sooner than expected.

from Japanator
I Otaku ; Identifying as a J-culture enthusiast
by Colette Bennett
[ When I first started watching anime, I had never heard of the word otaku. However, in 1983 Japanese author Akio Nakamori wrote a little series called "An Investigation of Otaku" in loli manga mag Manga Burikko, and the word caught on as a Japanese slang word referring to a person with an obsessive interest, specifically in manga, anime or videogames. Sound familiar?
One thing a lot of American Japanophiles may not know, however, is that otaku is often considered a disparaging term by the Japanese. ]

"The Biology Of King Kong"
New York -
In the world of movie monsters, no creature stands as tall as King Kong. Sure, at just 25 feet in height, this gorilla may not be the biggest beast in the jungle. But more than 70 years after his classic film debut, Kong has reached a legendary status that few other film characters can even hope to attain.
And this great ape's fame is set to get even bigger following director Peter Jackson's remake of the movie, which opens on Wednesday, Dec. 14. The special-effects extravaganza presents one of the most realistic movie monsters ever seen, making Kong seem nearly as vital and real as the human actors with whom he shares the screen.
Of course, we all know that no matter how realistic he looks on the screen, Kong is just a fantasy. But what if he wasn't? Could a giant gorilla like Kong really exist?
"I remember my high school physics teacher telling me that Kong was a physical impossibility. This is basically correct, I think," says John Hutchinson, a researcher at the University of London's Royal Veterinary College, who studies how very large animals stand and move.
In the movie, Kong appears to be about 25 feet tall in a crouch--about seven times the height of an actual silverback gorilla. At that size, a very rough estimate tells us Kong would weigh anywhere from 20 to 60 tons.
