Those China-Only Iron Man 3 Scenes Are Being Released As a Short Film

by Rebecca Pahle | 11:01 am, May 9th, 2013

Everything we’ve heard about the China-only scenes in Iron Man 3 is that they’re sort of lackluster and don’t really add anything to the plot. But hey, if they exist Marvel movie completionists might as well watch them, right? Now those of us who don’t live in China will have that chance, as Marvel is reportedly releasing three minutes of that extra footage as a short film.

by Jill Pantozzi | 4:14 pm, February 4th, 2013

Chen Guangbiao’s wealth is valued at upwards of $700 million dollars. I can think of a lot of things I could do with that money but Guangbiao decided to use it to make a point. One that Mel Brooks kinda made in 1987′s Spaceballs.

The video’s a weird size, so behind the jump it goes. You get a physics puppy and Neil deGrasse Tyson quite impressively busting a move to Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough in one post! You lucky duck.

A Victoria’s Secret Model Breaks Down Privilege and Physical Insecurity in This TED Talk [VIDEO]

by Rebecca Pahle | 5:45 pm, December 20th, 2012

Victoria’s Secret model Cameron Russell gives honest answers to questions about the superficiality—and the importance—of physical appearance in our society. Speaking as someone who fully acknowledges her success stems from her winning the “genetic lottery,” Russell’s perspective is quite interesting. My favorite part is when she explains what she wants to say to little girls when they tell her they want to be a model: That they should instead aspire to ”Be my boss. Because I’m not in charge of anything. And you could be the editor-in-chief of American Vogue or the CEO of H&M or the next [legendary fashion photographer] Steven Meisel.”

(It would be great if she actually told them that, but I won’t judge her for it.)

Halloween Costumes for a Droid to Wear

by Susana Polo | 10:19 am, October 16th, 2012

Rest your diodes: your quest for a Halloween costume is at an end. It’s just too bad the only one who’ll do couples costumes with you is that overweight glob of grease you can’t seem to ditch. And you’re still peeved over the last time he told you you were acting like a “mindless philosopher.”

Maybe this year you can get that near-sighted scrap heap to dress up as an actual scrap heap.

There Is A Real WALL-E Traversing Our Planet Right Now [VIDEO]

by Jill Pantozzi | 6:00 pm, August 4th, 2012

It’s been a while since Pixar’s WALL-E hit theaters but we haven’t forgotten how much we love that little robot. Apparently neither has Mike Senna. He’d previously built a working R2-D2 and took him to City of Hope pediatric cancer charity events but decided to take on another challenge. He worked 25 hours a week on WALL-E, outside his normal work hours, for over two years to complete the project. Check out the video above but also check out Senna’s blog for some more info, pictures, and fun! I have never wanted a robot to be my best friend more than right now.

David Walton Smith was working on a movie with Bill Murray and asked if the actor would film a quick shot of himself walking down a hallway with his friends in slow-motion, à la every Wes Anderson movie. And Murray complied. Because he is Bill Murray, and he is the best.
