Things We Saw Today: Turn Your Kindle into The Neverending Story

by Rebecca Pahle | 5:00 pm, March 22nd, 2013

Best Kindle cover ever. None others come close. Etsy seller GeekifyInc has also made tablet covers that resemble H.P. Lovecraft‘s The Necronomicon, the Red Book of Westmarch from the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, and To Serve Man from The Twilight Zone. (/Film)

Travel Posters for Pop Culture Locations, by Dave Perillo

by Susana Polo | 3:30 pm, December 5th, 2012

We’re no stranger to travel posters for fictional locations, but Dave Perillo’s art sure is charming. Ventur in for more ’80s nostalgia, and then a bunch of stuff that isn’t even a travel poster but that’s cute enough anyway.

I'm In A Glass Case of Emotion

Here, Have Some Feels: The 100 Most Depressing Movie Death Scenes [VIDEO]

by Rebecca Pahle | 5:45 pm, November 15th, 2012

I made myself sit through this five minutes and seven seconds of pure emotional turmoil, and now I’m passing it on to you. Via the miserable sadists at Movie Miscellany, here’s a montage of the 100 Most Depressing Movie Death Scenes. Some of them are legitimately heartbreaking (ARRRTAAAAAX!). For others, your narm mileage may vary. Some of the deaths aren’t really geared toward being depressing at all, like that of Marion Crane in Psycho, which is more of the bone-chilling variety. And there are a few particularly tragic examples missing (Littlefoot’s mother from The Land Before Time, for example. And any of Sean Bean‘s many, many deaths, which the video description acknowledges).

Still. Something tells me that you’ll need to see something chipper and uplifting after watching this. Here’s a baby kangaroo.

Now excuse me while I try and stave off The Iron Giant feels.

Art Nouveau Prints For All the Non-Disney Princesses

by Susana Polo | 10:18 am, November 13th, 2012

Okay, Lydia Deetz and most of the other female characters featured in Kishokahime’s DeviantArt gallery aren’t princesses, but you know what I mean. They’re the leading ladies of a bunch of animated and genre films from an era that corresponds to a lot of childhoods these days. And they may not get as much play in the media as Cinderella, but that doesn’t mean we’ve forgotten about them. So here’s to the strange and unusual movies where unicorns are a far more likely occurrence and  Tim Curry is almost always the villain.

by The Mary Sue Staff | 12:34 pm, January 17th, 2012

So you’re a bad ass. So you’re in a position to know of the significant challenges that you face, as a bad ass. You can’t just eat any old thing: you’ve got to go on a bad ass diet. You can’t just wear any old clothes: you’ve got to wear the clothes of a bad ass. And you can’t just roll up in your mom’s mostly powder blue Nissan Stanza.

We’re here to help.
