Dialect coach Erik Singer is an expert on accents, and he's really good at his job. WIRED invited him to critique the accents of 32 actors, from the late Phillip Seymour Hoffman's excellent Truman Capote, to Kevin Costner's terrible Robin Hood. The subtleties of what goes into creating an accent for the screen are amazing.
Monsters do exists. In Jordan Vogt-Roberts' King Kong reboot, Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson, John Goodman, and Brie Larson travel to an island where a gigantic angry ape is the least of their problems, because there's also gigantic lizards, gigantic water buffalo, and a normal size John C. Reilly. Cross your fingers for a monster-to-monster throw down when the film comes to theaters March 10, 2017.
The Roots and Metallica just made the collaboration no one saw coming. Adding a xylophone and a kazoo to the 1991 hit "Enter Sandman", the two bands cram into Jimmy Fallon's music room to turn the heavy metal staple in to a classroom classic. You may love it, you may hate it, but you will respect the way Lars throws down on the mini cymbals.
There's nothing quite as mesmerizing as a tourbillion complication on a luxury timepiece. And Era has not only created a beautiful example, but they've done it at a price that's considerably less than the majority of tourbillions on the market. The Prometheus Titan is built around a 44m hand-polished case with ultra-scratch resistant Sapphire glass that houses a dial with a GMT hour hand, day/night complication, — and of course — the elegant flow of the single-axis manual tourbillion movement. The platinum bezel with 78 round GH colored diamonds weighing 2.3 carats add an extra layer of class and brilliance, and the timepiece is finished with a Hornback style leather strap with quick release bars. The Titan arrives in a box made from pure custom wood that is lacquered carefully over hours and the watch is backed by Era's two-year international warranty.

Movie memorabilia superfan Adam Savage went to visit his friend Peter Jackson — who not only has a massive collection of movie props, he's also directed some movies with great memorabilia himself. Peter and Adam geek out over a choice piece of Peter's collection — an original HAL 9000 panel from Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Interplanetary travel isn't easy. There are all kinds of ways to die — radiation, solar flares, equipment failures. But before you get to space, you need to get off the ground, and that's dangerous too. And if you actually make it to Mars — well, you get the idea.
