And I mean DANCE, bitch.
See how much it helped him?
Why does anyone like Will Smith?
Here’s a picture that has nothing to do with anything at all.

This first is a video sent to me ages ago by my brother Charlie. It is a beautifully animated video for the song “Le Café” by the French group Oldelaf. I don’t know anything about the band, but the video is super awesome and unbelievably French.
Here is the video on YouTube with subtitles. Oldelaf – le Café (english subtitles)
The other video is a short animated film by Paris-based studio Passion Paris which I encountered on BoingBoing. It deals with the impending end of the world in 2012. Scary stuff. Also beautifully animated and possessing of a biting sense of humor.
Enjoy!
This news story from 1981 is a fascinating piece of the past’s future, and eerily prescient regarding the eventually demise of print media and availability of online versions. And check the rotary phone he dials placing the receiver on the cups of the modem. Pretty cool.
Two hours to download the online edition? How much data could a text-only version of a local newspaper like the SF Chronicle actually contain? A few hundred kilobytes at the high end? I make you load that much in utterly unimportant image data every single time you look at The Black Laser and I bet you never even bat an eye. It’s amazing how far the technology has come since then, a mere 28 years. It really forces on you the fact that we have no idea what technology will be like 28 years from now. I fully expect replicants by 2019, and that’s only a decade. 28 years is 2.8 times as long! Maybe they’ll have Nexus 16.8s!
And you know it about yourself. So why not get something to help cheer you out of the black cloud of misery that follows you through your waking life?
The puzzle is not complete without you!
Thanks, Fail Blog!
I thought I might share with you the finest fight choreography I have ever had the distinct misfortune of seeing.
I know this clip has been floating around for a long time, but, God damn, it is good.
Keep an eye out for ya, Stingray.
Yeah! See ya!
Update – It’s from a movie called Undefeatable. Does anyone have this? Can you please send it to me? Seriously, I would love you forever.
I work in advertising post-production. I know commercials. I have worked on many commercials for companies you have heard of and, perhaps, patronized. So, it is with some gravitas that I pronounce this to be the finest piece of advertising I have ever seen in my life. Watch and be amazed.
Eastern Europe is a surreal place.
¡Watch the whole thing! The real magic is at the very end…
Can humans eat things like this and not just keel over dead? Is Paula Dean secretly a machine from the far reaches of outer space whose nuclear reactor core runs on sugars and fats? Is she plotting to conquer the Earth and enslave us all to work her butter mines on distant planets? Am I becoming increasingly neurotic since the revelation of this whole doppelgänger thing?!
