Cool Shit 9/23

Cool time lapse of the city of Angels:




Thom Yorke took a picture of his turntable and people got excited.

I guess with the new television season upon us, people harken back to their favorite shows, which is why we're getting an article about Lost here? Not sure. But if you want to revisit it, this article does a great job.

Awesomely creepy. I can't think of a more appropriate phrase to describe these famous photos replaced with the likeness of John Malkovich.

Does the name Hitler burden a person for life?

Silk Road is of course dead. But that doesn't mean you can't buy drugs on the internet anymore.

Cool Shit 12/23

This guy thinks all of professional sports are rigged. And he has a book that, well I would't say proves it, because that would be a much larger story.

Bitcoin is so November 2013. It's all about dodgecoin. Don't know what dodgecoin is? That's because you shouldn't. Confused? You should be.

It's a good thing Indiana Jones was on our side, or Hitler would have had immortality when he found the Holy Grail.

Cool Shit 5/1

Here are some pictures that may make your stomach drop.

A transcript of Steven Soderbergh's "State of the Cinema" opening/rant at the San Francisco International Film Festival. Coupled with the news of his retirement from filmmaking, this screams midlife crisis.

I'm shocked a sit com heavily involving Hitler didn't garner a larger audience.

Here's a track-by-track review of the new Daft Punk album.

Time Lapse! This time of Death Valley...



There are plenty of terrorists out there still just as dangerous as Osama Bin Laden was...

Here'a cool photo set of things rockstars have listed in their riders. To visualize it gives it some unexpected humor.

Cool Shit 4/26

In case you missed it yesterday, I shared some thoughts about The Walking Dead and Hannibal.

Take a look at these crazy photos. You won't know what's what.

Not all great movies are considered great while they're being worked on. Take these 9 for example. And then take a look at what these movies could have been like with some different choices for endings.

Wait - Hitler had a diary? No, no he didn't.

Marc Maron has a new show coming out, about a...podcast? I'm really not sure what it is.

This is a great look into the world of apples. And no matter what you think, you don't know everything about apples.

Cool Shit 3/7

It's one thing to take inspiration from the men you've dated and turn them into pop songs that millions of people enjoy. But going after those who have garnered a lot of respect and are considered 2 of the smartest/funniest writers currently working - women no less - and accusing them of insulting you simply for making a small joke about you, a joke that directly correlates to the foundation upon which your success is built?

Hmm. It seems the backlash may have begun. And seriously when you do something like this...



...you might start preparing yourself for some sort of backlash. Miss Swift is starting to remind me of the person in high school who was sweet and nice and said "hi" to everyone, regardless of their social level or status, but would fly into a rage if she felt slighted in anyway.

And also would never put out.

I can't believe a sitcom with Hitler as the central focus would only last one episode. Take a look at that and 27 other shows that only lasted one episode.

If you haven't seen Capturing the Friedmans, a documentary about a Long Island family torn apart by accusations of pedophilia (it's much more), then don't click on this link yet. Watch it first. Then come back and see what's happening today in regards to the outcome of the movie.

A list of movies you wouldn't think were expensive, but were. Insanely so. Also, until reading this list, I had completely blocked out the memory of ever seeing Stealth, so now I'm depressed.

On the one hand, it shouldn't be too surprising to anyone that processed meats increase your risk for death. On the other, let's just pretend this study never happened and go back to enjoying salami, bacon, hotdogs, etc.

Don't ever tell me again you can't make a movie trailer because you don't have a SFX budget. Check this out:

Here's the original Iron Man 3 trailer:



And then here's a shot for shot remake:



Now, which one would you be more excited for? Yes, obviously the first one, but doesn't the second one look like a ton of fun?

Podcast 14.0oooohGirlThereAreALotOfPeopleOnThisPodcast (Pt. 1)

Goose & I got together with some of our Nectar of the Gods buddies, had some beers, and turned on the mikes.

Then we said a bunch of shit.

And then we left Goose to edit it down to something coherent and consumable. Did he do that?

Listen and judge for yourself.

Never trust Katherine Heigl to take out Baby Hitler. That’s why I say you should cut off one of his adult hands.

Best PSA Ever

Don't worry, however slow/boring you think this is in the beginning, the payoff is definitely worth it.

Funniest Ads of 2010

These? While some of the ads are humorous and deserve to be there, off the top of my head, I can think of 2 glaring omissions...

Old Spice:

AT & T Taco Text Message:

In my opinion, I think these 2 are way better. Of course none of the aforementioned ads beat Michael Jordan's Hitler tribute...
