Four Year Old Girl Owns Her Father’s Marvel Trivia Questions, Is Adorable While Doing So [VIDEO]

by Rebecca Pahle | 5:45 pm, May 22nd, 2013

On YouTube this video is titled “Mia Grace Knows Her Marvel Super Heroes.” And here’s a bit of relevant information for you: Mia Grace is four. She doesn’t get all the questions right without prompting, but her clear enthusiasm for Marvel characters (“Maaag-neto!”) makes up for that. Also: The fact that she’s four.

Also: She’s playing with a Hulk toy. And her Marvel knowledge is pretty darn good.

You go, Mia Grace. Four for you, Mia Grace.

(Thanks, anonymous tipster!)

What Would Movie Posters Look Like If They Were Made Only With Clip Art and Comic Sans?

by Rebecca Pahle | 3:30 pm, May 22nd, 2013

Things like this are what make the Internet great. Or horrible. Circle A or B.

(The correct answer is “great,” though.)

14 Year Old Girl Covers A Van Halen Guitar Solo, Makes Your Acoustic Strumming Look Weak [VIDEO]

by Rebecca Pahle | 2:25 pm, May 22nd, 2013

Here’s a 14-year-old named Tina covering Eddie Van Halen‘s “Eruption” guitar solo and killing it. If you’re like me and the words “Eddie Van Halen’s ‘Eruption’ guitar solo” have no meaning, let me just say: This girl is some sort of guitar wizard.

Preschool Bans Kids From “Super Hero Play,” Doesn’t Even Have the Decency To Do It With Proper Grammar

by Rebecca Pahle | 2:00 pm, May 22nd, 2013

By now you may have seen the picture floating around of a flyer distributed by an unnamed preschool that has banned “Super Hero play.” If not: Yes, there is such a preschool. Apparently kids have been getting a little rowdy there lately—which is absolutely a problem that should be solved—so the school decided, hey, instead of addressing the violence issue, let’s just say they can’t pretend to be superheroes.

The letter, with my commentary, is behind the cut. I am unable to can with this one, folks.

Arrested Development Creator Recommends Not Binge-Watching The New Season; “Yeah, Right,” The Internet Responds

by Rebecca Pahle | 12:30 pm, May 22nd, 2013

Don’t get me wrong. Mitch Hurwitz‘s explanation for why you shouldn’t marathon the fourth season of Arrested Development, premiering on Netflix this Sunday, is really good. It’s just one I don’t expect many people already set on a binge to heed.

Amazon’s Launching A Program To Sell Fanfic. Yeah, You Read That Right.

by Rebecca Pahle | 11:19 am, May 22nd, 2013

Not just any old fanfic. Your Star Trek/Supernatural crossover high school AU won’t earn you any dough quite yet. But with a new program called Kindle Worlds writers in certain fandoms, with more to come, will be able to publish their fic on Amazon. And earn royalties. Completely legally.

There is no gif that can express what my brain is doing right now. In text form, it’s “??!??!?!!?!?!?.”

Patton Oswalt’s Star Wars/Marvel Rant Gets An Animated Short Film [VIDEO]

by Rebecca Pahle | 6:00 pm, May 19th, 2013

In case you’re one of the five people who hasn’t seen it yet, last month Patton Oswalt improvised an eight-minute rant on what star Wars: Episode VII should be like (keywords: Boba Fett, Tony Stark, X-Men, robot spider Chewbacca) for an episode of Parks and Recreation. And now Isaac Moores has created an animated version of that pitch. It’s geek-o-licious. Enjoy.
