If you didn't see "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/473385/moviemain.jhtml"]Attack the Block[/url]" while it was in theaters, you missed out on one of the best genre movies of the year. Check out our [url="http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2011/07/29/attack-the-block-review/"]"Attack the Block" review[/url] if you don't believe me — the movie lives up to its massive hype and then some. Trust.

Thankfully, if you did miss this wildly inventive sci-fi action comedy, you'll get another chance to tool up soon. "Attack the Block" hits DVD on October 25, and ahead of the big release date, we've got two exclusive clips from the home video release for your viewing pleasure.

Up first, director Joe Cornish speaks out in an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at "Attack the Block" about making a high concept sci-fi flick on a fairly low budget. "Block" doesn't come equipped with the same financial backing you'll find in major studio tent poles like the "Transformers" movies, but you wouldn't know it from looking at the film; Cornish tells you all about it.

Next is another exclusive first look at a featurette that's best viewed by those of you who've already seen "Block." Cornish takes viewers behind the scenes at how the final moments of "Block" could have played out through a series of storyboarded sequences that never made their way to the screen. Again, some [b]spoilers[/b] for the "Block" finale in this one… proceed with caution!

There's more "Attack the Block" goodness if you're in New York City this week: Cornish is coming to [url="http://www.mtv.com/geek/event_coverage/new_york_comic_con_2011/main.jhtml"]New York Comic Con[/url] this week, and there's [url="http://www.moma.org/visit/calendar/films/1217"]a screening of "Block" at the MoMA[/url] on Thursday (October 13).

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
