DuckTales opening with real ducks (?)

Remember DuckTales? Yes... It's Disney TV show that ran from 1987 to 1990 following the adventures of Scrooge McDuck and his three grandnephews. Well... Some has re-created the opening titles with real ducks and it's both slightly odd and quite funny. The theme is also quite nostalgic. Anyway, good fun to watch. (Scroll down for the original opening sequence)

The Lego HISHE

Wow! HISHE really stepped up a notch with this one!

Apocalypse throgh LG HDTV

This is really funny, if it's real. Even if it isn't, it's still really good fun to imagine and watch. Not a big fan of promoting such commercials, but if it's well made, I guess it's OK. The premise is simple: replace a window with an HDTV. Bring some gullible people in for an interview and play an asteroid apocalypse on the screen and see how the people react.

Must watch! Mirror's Edge parkour

This POV Mirror's Edge parkour is simply incredible. I normally can't really care for parkour, but this is definitely worth a watch!

Miley the new Batman..?!

It's been a busy week with the internet coming out - rightly so - in force to voice our discontent with the casting of Affleck as the new Batman in the upcoming Batman-Superman mashup. On the other side, we have Miley Cyrus'... um... performance at the MTV VMA. No wonder it's a bit confusing, not to mention totally irrelevant.

Benz runs down Adolf

Clearly, Daimler is furious about this, but it doesn't mean this student ad project is bad. Actually, it's really clever although it does touch on some quite taboo themes. This ad was produced by students of the Ludwigsburg Film Academy.



Daimler response:

"We believe it is entirely inappropriate to use the death of a person/child or contents related to National Socialism in an advertising spot, even though it is a fictitious spot."

BBC blunders

Tonight, Top Gear concluded their final episode of the series (darn) with a wonderful tribute to British motoring. It was a dignified, uplifting, Elgar-esque (Nimrod-themed) affair. Even though one knows Top Gear is pro-British (for a rather international programme, watched by 300+ million around the world), one has to marvel at what Britain has to offer.

Best of British motoring lined up in front of Buckingham Palace

Oddly, directly after the emotional tribute, the BBC decides to air a show about the might of the German automotive industry and how it overtook the one in Britain. That's ridiculously contradictory... The programming director was either trying to be very even footed (as is the rule for BBC), or just plain mad. I'm leaning towards the latter...

Clarkson has come straight on to Twitter to share his displeasure:

I am properly cross with BBC2. What on earth were they thinking of?
— Jeremy Clarkson (@JeremyClarkson) August 4, 2013

We try our hardest to show British manufacturing and engineering is still astonishing. And then along comes BBC2...
— Jeremy Clarkson (@JeremyClarkson) August 4, 2013

What a shame...

Riker from TNG sits funny

Why does Commander Riker from Star Trek: The Next Generation do this? And where's the blooper reel of him smacking his dangly bits on a slightly higher chair?

Mean Tweets

We've all done this. I mean, I haven't, of course, but most people have... If you have a Twitter account, there's a good chance you've mentioned some celebrity in a Tweet and was pretty mean about them. Jimmy Kimmel got celebs to read out some nasty tweets about them. Really good stuff. Featuring: Bieb, Gomez, Biel, Alba, Ferrel, Borat, etc.

French police got kicking skills

Violence erupted after Paris Saint-Germain won the French football league title after 19 years. According to BBC News: "it took 800 police several hours to bring the situation under control." I was sent a video clip of how the police went about getting it under control. If this is anything to go by, French Police got skills!

Apple is so predictable a cider company can do it

I wonder how long before Apple wises up and demands for this ad to be pulled and the YouTube video taken off line. In the meantime, here's how Somersby Cider company is taking a real piss (incidentally that's what I think of ciders) out of Apple.

Captain Kirk vs. Gorn - The Rematch

Last month, the universe's greatest starship captain, William Shatner, turned 82. To promote the upcoming, and dare I say rather ugly looking Star Trek game, Bill took on an equally aged Gorn in a rematch. It's a pretty good laugh especially if you're a Star Trek fan. Seriously, the game scenes look really crap. I hope the upcoming movie won't resemble the game in any way...

Only way to celebrate winning an Oscar

This was the scene scooped by Taiwanese news agencies after this year's Oscars when Ang Lee won his third statue and second for Best Director. What a way to celebrate a momentous win by munching on an In-N-Out burger!

"It's a bird! It's a plane!"

What can you say but... "Hahahahaha!"

J. J. Abrams goes to the "dark side"

I'm still quite amazed this is the man who kicked started the Star Trek film series back to life and about to go on to revive Star Wars after three not so amazing prequels. Good for him! If he can do to Star Wars what he did with Star Trek, the future of the two sci-fi pillars look pretty great!

Clarkson loves GT86

This screen grab GIF says it all. Jezza takes Toyota GT86 around the Top Gear track on last Sunday's show, exhibits how car enthusiasts will look like when they get in the cockpit of this awesome sports coupé!
