Vocals only for Freddie Mercury and David Bowie’s Under Pressure.
This is the most fantastic thing you will listen to today.
“You will give the people of Earth an ideal to strive towards. They will race behind you. They will stumble. They will fall.
And in time, they will join you in the sun.
And in time, you will help them accomplish wonders.”
I was not a fan of the first teaser and trailers for Man of Steel. I think “Clark Kent, Lonely Fisherman” was pretty much the worst way to sell Superman.
But, the first minute and forty seconds of this new trailer are incredible.
I want to see that movie.
“More than any time in recent history, America’s destiny is not of our own choosing. We did not seek nor did we provoke an assault on our freedom and our way of life. We did not expect nor did we invite a confrontation with evil.
Yet the true measure of a people’s strength is how they rise to master that moment when it does arrive.
Forty-four people were killed a couple of hours ago at Kennison State University. Three swimmers from the men’s team were killed and two others are in critical condition. When, after having heard the explosion from their practice facility, they ran into the fire to help get people out.
Ran into the fire.
The streets of heaven are too crowded with angels tonight. They’re our students and our teachers and our parents and our friends.
The streets of heaven are too crowded with angels, but every time we think we have measured our capacity to meet a challenge, we look up and we’re reminded that that capacity may well be limitless.
This is a time for American heroes.
We will do what is hard. We will achieve what is great. This is a time for American heroes and we reach for the stars.”
Tell me why I don’t like Mondays.
Great dance party to a great dance party song at a great birthday party at a great house with great friends made for a great night.
I don’t know where you were or what you were doing Saturday night, but if you weren’t in this room losing your mind to Icona Pop, then you didn’t do your weekend right.
Car-Jumper Ep 7 - Behind the Scenes Go Pro Shot
So when we did the one-shot episode of Car-Jumper, BK clipped a Go Pro onto his Glidecam rig and pointed it back at himself, I think to prove that we did it all in one shot. It turned out pretty neat, so I did a little split-screen with the episode. You can see fun stuff, like Alex trying to flag off the screen for BK or me bumping into BK, screwing up the shot. Neat!
The most amazing five minutes of video produced in the last month gets even more amazing with this behind the scenes go pro shot. Again, kudos to all involved.
This was a fun one. About twenty of us drove out to Victorville to make this happen.
Directed by me. Written and produced with Spencer Strauss. Shot on a Glidecam by Brian King. Awesome score by Ryan Elder. VFX by Sevan Najarian. Starring Jim Klimek, Chase Fein, Brenan Campbell, and Emma Koenig. Some awesome Road Warriors. Some awesome dead bodies. And Baxter the puppy! (FULL CREDITS HERE.)
This was a magnificent achievement, bravo to all involved, and far and away hands down a better conceived, shot and directed episode than the third season finale of The Walking Dead.
This was yesterday, Saturday, at WonderCon in Anaheim.
It’s a living, breathing, real, life-size, noise-making, arm-moving, track-rolling WALL-E.
There were TWO of them.
They were built and controlled by Mike Senna, and his website is here, and he also builds R2 units that are just as fantastic.
I saw a lot of amazing things at WonderCon; I saw a copy of Amazing Fantasy #15 and I saw a man dressed as Robocop and I saw a lot of really terrible an really awesome cosplay, but watching Wall-E roll around and speak and EXIST…
It was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.
So now I have to get a Wii U.
The fascinating evolution of a bedroom party band, via a bunch of drunken Vine videos I… vined …and threw together in a mostly incoherent loud mess, complete with shitty live type on top. (I took a few “real” iPhone videos, long form, but the inherent charm of Vine’s seven second clips really contribute to the party/mess/disjointed flow of the whole thing.) (The “whole thing” being “life.”)
Not only does the band grow, adding/subtracting members and instruments and coherency as the night progresses, but it’s a near perfect journey forward through music history, from the 60’s (Neil Diamond) to the 70’s and 80’s (The Rolling Stones and AC/DC; The Cars and The Go Gos) to the 90’s (Weezer and Third Eye Blind), with few deviations (The Beatles and perennial party anthem “Shout!” being the two main ones.)
And it goes without saying, but, if you haven’t seen Paul do The Beatles “Oh Darling”, then you haven’t seen Shakespeare the way it was meant to be seen.
It really was the most fun anyone could have on a Saturday night.
Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus.
Come for the blistering-as-fuck Prince guitar solo, stay for him throwing his guitar across the stage at the end.
Prince gives no fucks.
I fucking love Matt & Kim, and this video is pretty fantastic.
One of the best musical performances on SNL this season, and a truly great performance by the Alabama Shakes, who always deliver great performances.
Paperman, the Disney short that ran in front of Wreck-It Ralph, is now online and you should watch it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.
