Awesome story that dives deep into the making of the Beastie Boy's Paul's Boutique, and something about an unreleased single that could have completely turned the Beastie Boys down a different path. While I want to hear the song, I'm glad it didn't make it's way onto their follow up album.
Saul Bass and Stanley Kubrick collaborating. Cool to see just how detailed Kubrick would get, down to the movie posters of his films.
Even though season 4 was inconsistent at best, I still think it's good news that there will be a season 5 of Arrested Development. Learn from your mistakes!
Space craft cemetery!
While the "controversy" in the middle of this story about breaking the Game Boy Tetris record seems a little too contrived, the punchline at the end kinda makes up for it.
Know the secrets of the casinos before you go in and you might save some money. Of course you won't hit the big jackpot either!
This isn't bragging. I would dominate on Supermarket Sweep.

Cool Shit 8/6
So, Elizabeth Moss has been "rumored" for the new Season of True Detective. Aside from the fact that there have been a lot of actors "rumored" that have then never materialized, I'm not going to get excited or disgusted just yet (though I think it's a fine choice; and it's possible I may have reached an age where the casting of people on television shows doesn't wake a slumbering beast of rage inside me). I do enjoy however, when someone does disagree, and then takes it to the Internet, like this person, who attempts to make a rational argument about why Moss would be a poor choice, while still trying to say how great an actress she is. It's dizzying in its stupidity.

Of course the whole thing might be kind of moot since the creator of True Detective was accused of plagiarism. Sort of.
New Left Behind trailer!

Here's another example of people just opining stupidly about things they're not sure about. This guy is talking about the Marvel movies, and how the main villain they've been leading up to with this recent set of movies, isn't necessarily that big of a threat, based on movies he really hasn't been in. So basically we have speculation about a possible villain, and this guy doesn't like him. Awesome.
On one hand, it's Pete Dinklage with an awesome mullet and badass gun. On the other he's on the set of a movie that will also star Adam Sandler.

Cool Shit 8/5
Listen, I don't want to hear how you just can't afford an indoor pool anymore. Not if you have some ingenuity, and apparent disregard for your belongings like these guys do.
I realize the saying is, the customer is always right, but some of these requests are pushing the limits.

Well here's your average, fake-your-own-death-and-occasionaly-fight-in-a-cage-while-on-the-lam story.
Acting school? Taught by Burt Reynolds? Um, yes please.
Vince Vaughn in season 2 of True Detective? I could see it.

Cool Shit 8/4
Strange candies from all over the place that might not be as appealing as a Snickers bar.
So there's a new James Brown biopic coming out; but seriously can anything come close to watching the real thing?
I've kinda been wondering why I didn't have the option of ordering a 52. oz bloody mary in my life. Thankfully, the situation has been rectified. I'm going to Flavortown!
The main thing I took away from this article is that I can turn my microwave into a space enjoin and go visit Mars.
Train graveyard!
So Guardians of the Galaxy did ok this weekend. Here's a look at all the Easter Eggs they hid throughout it.

Cool Shit 8/1
Beautiful trees have such a calming effect.
The Fermi Paradox is basically the idea that by now we should have discovered intelligent life in outer space. But we haven't. And scientists have some reasons why.
Fuck you, Esquire, writing something like this about Michael Bay, just so you can seem hip because you're indirectly hyping up TJ Miller, in a poorly thought out reach for a younger audience. You've now done what I thought may have been impossible - your attempt at wit has gone and made Michael Bay a somewhat sympathetic figure. And nice try on thinking that people that read your magazine are the target audience for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. Ugh.
The movie Birdman seems to be getting some cool buzz, and now news that it is edited to appear as one long take is only making it sound better.
Soda sales have been declining over the years. What is Coca Cola doing about it?
Gluttony is such a fun thing. At least that's what Red Robin wants you to believe, after taking the crown for the worst fast food meal (most calories division) for 2014. Though to be fair, the name "Monster Burger" should probably be a clue that this isn't going to be found on Goop.
