| Top 5 Telekinetics Stronger Than Carrie
The newest adaptation of Stephen King’s Carrie, a film about a girl with telekinetic powers who gets bullied and begins to use her powers against a lot of people, just hit theaters last week. The movie had some really great marketing schemes including the viral coffee shop prank that was covered on the site a few weeks ago. With Carrie‘s recent release, I thought it would be appropriate to compile a list of five telekinetic fictional characters that Carrie would not want to mess with and who make the power Carrie wields seem like child’s pay. Check out the list below of the Top 5 Telekinetics Stronger Than Carrie.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far, away, Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, and Peter Cushing forgot their lines, Chewbecca obstructed Alec Guinness‘ view, and other hilarious mishaps happened while on the set of the original Star Wars movie. A new two and a half minute Star Wars blooper reel has made its way online, and it just gives us a look as to what happens when things don’t go as planned — seeing the Stormtroopers take a few stumbles, Peter Cushing embrace Carrie Fisher when he forgot his lines, and Harrison Ford eat his microphone when he flubbed his lines just shows that even the Force can’t help them remember what is going on. The video also shows how far technology has come. But the costumes and set pieces still remain to be some of the most convincing things about the film, despite how primitive it may look today. Hit the jump to see the full video.

| ‘X-Men Gold’ Preview: Marvel Celebrates 50 Years Of X-Men With A Golden Series
The X-Men have been in print for 50 years! Marvel is celebrating that milestone with a limited series called X-Men Gold that will feature all-new stories from the creators that have made the Children of the Atom what they are today (for better or for worse). X-Men Gold #1 is an all-new full-length story from writer Chris Claremont and artist Bob McLeod. Claremont has had a rocky return to the franchise over the last few years, but there’s no denying the impact he had on the X-Men and the Marvel Universe in general. There’s also an all-new story from Stan “the Man” Lee! Other stories set at various points in X-Men history are from creators Len Wein, Jorge Molina, Fabian Nicieza, Salvador Larroca, Roy Thomas, and Pat Olliffe. Check out the preview of X-Men Gold #1 here below.
