Making an entry. With Xzibit

10 minutes of dramatic jump cut entries. You are welcome.

One of my fav books is now a movie: How To Sharpen Pencils

This is a seriously good book. You can read some stuff about it if you like. So I’m thrilled that it is also a movie.

Estonian Death Folk

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas from Chuck Norris (and some airline)

Anything JCVD can do, Chuck can do better.

Here’s the JCVD original (in case you missed it).

And as a bonus. Chuck Norris fights Bruce Lee in Way of the Dragon.

A little afternoon pick you up…

I don’t think this needs an introduction.

Or introducktion.

Walk like a ninja

Amazing music mashups

I love a good YouTube mashup. These are quite incredible – songs from dissonant genres blended together almost perfectly.

Like Miley Cyrus and Mumford and Sons…

Korn and Taylor Swift…

And this slightly disturbing Slipknot and Justin Bieber song…

I’m a fan of this video

Seriously.

I’m not sure YouTube gets any better than this. It wins the Internet. But has a slight language warning…

I have watched it again, and again since my housemate Josh sent it to me.

Can you top it?

Timelapse with lasers…

Timelapses are cool. This is a timelapse. This is cool.

Lasers are cool. This has lasers. This is cool.

Infographic: Beards as fonts

This is an essential guide to growing a font, or choosing a beard. Should you wish to do either.

Epic quest for the Holy Grail (Monty Python recut)

This is great.

So is the original.

The fourth eagle of the apocalypse, and his co-co-prophet of the end times

The fourth eagle, would you believe, is an actual eagle.

And this is his co-co-prophet.

Who can interpret such events?

Why you should grow a beard

This is magic.

Stunning theory about the interconnectedness of Pixar movies…

This is as good as the Radiohead 01 10 album theory, the (confirmed) Tarantino movie and movie within a movie universes (also this), and the Tommy Westphall’s mind theory that connects almost every television series known to mankind. All Pixar movies are connected and occur in the same universe.

It’s surprisingly plausible, and utterly convincing.

Here’s something from the middle of that post.

In the beginning of Up, Carl is forced to give up his house to a corporation because they are expanding the city. Think on that. What corporation is guilty for polluting the earth and wiping out life in the distant future because of technology overreach?

Buy-n-Large (BNL), a corporation that runs just about everything by the time we get toWall-E. In the “History of BNL” commercial from the movie, we’re told that BNL has even taken over the world governments. Did you catch that this one corporation achieved global dominance?

Interestingly, this is the same organization alluded to in Toy Story 3:

Toy Story 3 (Buzz's batteries)

Toy Story 3 (Buzz’s batteries)

In Finding Nemo, we have an entire population of sea creatures uniting to save a fish that was captured by humans. BNL shows up again in this universe via another news article that talks about a beautiful underwater world. In Finding Nemo, lines are being crossed. Humans are beginning to antagonize the increasingly networked and intelligent animals.

This is cool. A little old. But cool. And the kind of thing you post to overcome horrendous writer’s block.
