Actually, Farid says you can't prove a photo is real, but he did knock down one of the main arguments that the photo was faked: People claim the light sources hitting Oswald's face are all wrong, proving it's a paste-up job. But Farid painstaking mapped all the light sources in the picture and compared them against his model of Oswald's head. According to the Union Leader:

He used a computer program Facegen, to build a virtual 3D model of Oswald's head. Once that was completed, he added in the background features of the photo. Through a series of computations, he figured out where the camera had to be, the trajectory of the sun and where Oswald was in relation to the camera.

After that, it was many a sleepless night Farid said, trying to match exactly the shadows to those pictured in the photo...

Farid said given the technology available 46 years ago, there is no way someone would have been able to get the internal and external elements of the photo just right in order to fabricate not only the one photo, but two others in the series.

We were ecstatic to interview Doug Jones at the Wrath of Con party over Comic Con and we've been holding on to this gem, so we could show you his creepy footage from the Legion clips alongside it. The whole interview is transcribed below, as it gets a little difficult to hear in some places.

I'm one of [the bad guys]. I basically have a [few] showcase cameos in the film. My character plays in about the third part of the film. And that's when things break loose, or when Heaven breaks loose rather. That said, I think theologically, it's a big mind-bend. It's a good conversation starter for topics on religion, it really is. Because humanity is in a place where we might deserve another flood, like what happened in the Old Testament. That's the question he's posing with this script. And it's really well written, it's a beautiful movie.

Tell us about Paul [Bettany] as the angel. Why does he need a gun and a knife?

Paul Bettany's character, as you saw in the footage, he cuts his wings off. He's actually going away from the orders he was given when he comes to Earth. I don't want to give too much away, but he's kind of a rebellious angel. And with the rebel comes a knife and a gun.

How violent does this movie get?

Pretty darn. Pretty darn violent, but in such a creative way that it's not like blood-on-the-wall horror film at all. It's apocalyptic, it's epic, it's going to make you shudder, possibly yell an scream. I think; that's how I would feel.

What freaked you out?

Well, the angel that inhabits a human being, that makes an entrance before me, is a woman. It's an old woman in a diner, another cameo in the film. But it is something that will absolutely freak your pants off.

Then we asked him about being in a movie where he wasn't covered in make up like in Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy or Pan's Labyrinth and he has a pretty sweet response to that along with seeing his face on a t-shirt.

Here are a slew of new Legion stills released from Sony. We can't wait for the spiritual cleansing!

The Perseid meteor shower occurs every year when the Earth passes into a cloud of debris trailing behind the comet Swift-Tuttle. The shower has already passed its peak for the year, but several quick-fingered photographers have shared their photos of the meteors streaking the sky:

Goldstein explains:

As a young girl, growing up abroad, I was not exposed to Fairy tales. These new discoveries lead to my fascination with the origins of Fairy tales. I explored the original brothers Grimm's stories and found that they have very dark and sometimes gruesome aspects, many of which were changed by Disney. I began to imagine Disney's perfect Princesses juxtaposed with real issues that were affecting women around me, such as illness, addiction and self-image issues.

These images appeared in JPG Magazine, and Goldstein plans to add more before the entire series goes on exhibit in October.

UK paper The Independent spotted the trend first, in a post called "The Robots Are Coming":

Karl Lagerfeld himself did the robot this season – or at least, he did doll-faced dystopiennes who looked like they'd just stepped out of a souped-up DeLorean (flux capacitor as standard)....

The hyphenated buzzword this season is "retro-futurism", think "Rachael from Blade Runner . The British design duo Preen quoted the film as one of the main sources for their collection this season, where chic mini-dresses were slashed and reconfigured. It's the 1940s, as seen through the lens of modern-day, but interpreted with the future in mind. At Balmain, dresses came in intergalactic cobalt-blue sequins, with accentuated shoulders worthy of a glamorous space cadet. Kate Moss has been spotted in a silver version at parties recently.

The two new pics of jumping Wolverine and Wolverine's confrontation with Sabretooth come from IGN, and you can find them in higher resolution over there. Meanwhile, SpoilerTV has some new "character posters" from the film, including a better look at some of Wolverine's mutant enemies. I had forgotten that Agent Zero was in this film, actually.

Yesterday, the Hubble Telescope warned us of impending doom from Sauron's Eye, but it's hardly the only astronomical body making us nervous. There's the Cat's Eye Nebula, staring at us with its unblinking gaze, the arachnophobia-inducing Tarantula and Red Spider Nebula, the Ghost of Jupiter (our gas giant's spectral doppelganger), and the eerie apparitions contained in the Ghost Head and Little Ghost Nebulae.
