Cool Shit 4/2

The notion of living in an isolated paradise is romantic, but now it seems this remote island wants to open its borders some, destroying that notion.

Apparently if you're an astronaut, you're going to get hit in the face with a cross by a Russian Orthodox priest. Hey, it's tradition!

So now you can play Pac Man with Google Maps. Possibly the greatest thing ever. Here are ten places that will test your ability.

What it was like to be Andre the Giant.

Skinner and Cigarette Smoking Man coming back to X-Files: Yay! Doggett and Reyes possibly coming back to the X-Files: Huh?

It's kind of amazing that one of Nature's challenges, summitting Mt. Everest, is treated so capriciously by the people who attempt it so much so that they treat it as little more than a trash can.

A list of the weird in villains from cinematic history.

Cool Shit 4/1

Hopefully, everyone understands that a zombie invasion is impossible and will never happen, I guess it's still fun to think about what one should do in the event of it ever happening.

I had no idea the chronology of the Fast and Furious movies was so out of whack. I also have no idea how these movies got so popular.

New trailer for Mad Max. This movie looks insane:



So in addition to coming back for another round of The X-Files, David Duchovny is apparently releasing an album. Of music.

A buried treasure of cocaine and the quest to find it.

Looking into the death of Tupac.

Ranking the Marvel cinematic universe.

Cool Shit 3/31

Is the America's toughest prison? And what does that entail?

The fan theory that suggests Kyle MacLachlan's roles are really all just the same person.

I will never get tired of Muppets performing rap songs. This one is Gonzo doing the Humpty Dance...



Help De La Soul produce their next album.

Wrists zip tied? This is how you might be able to escape.

Due to humanity and what not, there are places on the Earth that are slowly (and rapidly) disappearing. Here's the ten you'll probably want to visit sooner rather than later.

Cool Shit 3/30

Who would have thought Sriracha was poised to take over the condiment world?

A look at thunderstorms...from space!



More details about Fight Club 2: Chuck Palahniuk's sequel to his classic. This one in comic book form.

I'm hoping when Duchovny suggests the new limited series run of X-Files will be a blend of both alien mythology and monster of the week stories he's just speculating, and not speaking about a plan that is in play, because 6 episodes is not enough to revisit what made X-Files successful during it's initial run. As I will continue to keep saying - follow the True Detective map and you will do gangbusters. Remember when everyone wanted True Detective's ending to have a supernatural element? That's because people wanted True Detective to follow the X-Files format! Success is waiting for you right around the corner!

So, we are a technology-based civilization. What does that mean? It means no one really has any idea how long a technology-based civilization can last. It also means there's going to be papers written on that very subject.

An oral history of News Radio...one of the best sitcoms for the '90s.

The Humpty Dance is 20 years old. And still as awesome as it ever was.

The story of an avalanche survivor.

Cool Shit 3/27

The X-Files coming back I can understand. Coach coming back... not so much.

If you've never heard the urban legend of "Who wants to sex Mutumbo?" you should watch this clip. If the urban legend of "Who wants to sex Mutumbo?" directs your life, you DEFINITELY need to watch this clip:



A good look at that chronology of the Star Wars universe, including the new movies, series and books that have been announced recently.

Want to be Batman? Start with this video (and get your hands on a lot of money):
