Dark Knight Rises

The Dark Knight Rises Trailer

Finally, it’s here! I heard about the leak of this Dark Knight Rises trailer days ago and was itching to post it up. Unfortunately, I just couldn’t find a copy that wasn’t completely unwatchable. That all changes today, though, and if you haven’t had a chance to see this yet, you’re in for a real treat. Crank up the volume, set the video to maximum resolution, and enjoy the show. The trailer does an excellent job of conveying the mood and happenings of Gotham City, and you may just

The Raid – Lee Hardcastle’s Claycat Cinema

A few weeks ago I saw a status update from a friend who mentioned that he had just seen the most awesome movie ever called The Raid: Redemption. I had never heard of it, but given his high praise, I went and watched it last night. If you’ve ever wanted to see hours of absolutely nothing but straight up fighting and over-the-top violence, this is the movie for you.

What’s even more exciting is that Lee Hardcastle, the mastermind behind Claycat’s THE THING, created his own claymation version of

Retro Television – Game of Thrones and Beyond… 1995 Style

I don’t watch a whole lot of television, but I am quite passionate about the few shows that I do watch. After all, I only watch the best of the best, so might as well go the distance with them.

There’s a problem with this whole, thing. You see, I’ve been watching these shows with the knowledge that I’m seeing them first. No, not before anyone else exactly… but still immediately, the moment that they’re available. Unfortunately, as I learned a mere two hours ago, the whole lot of them, from Game of Thrones to Breaking Bad, were all actually launched in the early 90s on minor family television networks in the United States. Crazy, right? Read on… 

Pop Culture by Madeon on Novation Launchpad with man dancing

Pop Culture by Madeon: Killer Live 39 Track Mashup

I heard Pop Culture by Madeon a few months ago and it immediately got in my head with its crunchy synth and infectious dance styling, so when it came up in my playlist today, I decided to check for a video. When I found the official release on YouTube, I was blown away by what I was seeing. I knew it was obviously a mashup, and could pick out bits and pieces of songs I like, but I didn’t realize just how deep this rabbit hole went. The seamless editing blends 39 separate tracks from artists ranging widely from ELO and The Who to Chromeo and Nero.  Watching Madeon’s fingers dancing across his Launchpad and trying to figure out how he’s keeping track of the samples and levels while playing a freestyle organ solo is nothing short of amazing. His mastery of digital dj equipment seemingly knows no bounds. And then, I found out he’s only 17 years old – queue puff of smoke leaking out my ears. Hit the jump and turn it up for a great party track, an unbelievable visual use of musical technology… and bonus utterly ridiculous dance video .

Justin Bieber On My Mind – A Photo Tribute to JB

Justin Bieber Squirting Water

A few months ago I heard the name Justin Bieber for the very first time, I wasn’t sure who it was and didn’t really care that much.  The next few weeks, it seemed every damn place I went to, I had to hear, see or read his name.  Pretty much every website, TV channel and magazine was covered with this “God’s gift to mankind”.

Justin Bieber Is A Girl
Exhibit B

So like any modern-age internet geek, I paid a visit to our good friend “The Google” and typed in his name to see what this mythical creature Justin Bieber looks like.  I was shocked to find that Justin Bieber was a 10 year old girl!!! (see exhibit B).  I learned at an early age that Justin is a boy’s name, so I continued my research and finally was convinced that he was indeed a boy and a 16 year old one at that.  Needless to say, after my extensive research (a whole 10 minutes of it); I came to realize that this “boy” didn’t have any talent and has a very punch-able face.
