How Hollywood Says “I Love You”

If there’s one place where romance hasn’t been completely beaten to death by hedonistic indulgences and drunken debauchery, it’s Hollywood. Nothing says I love you like a montage of romantic moments from movies down the ages, as stars both real and animated get all mushy-eyed and start spouting the sort of fluff that no one [...]

Starry Night (interactive animation)

Van Gogh’s ‘Starry Night’ gets animated by Petros Vrellis into trippy, melting visuals that might well give you a flashback should you watch it too many times, because it is quite addictive. The painting becomes interactive with the sound too responding to the flow, so just dive in, get lost for a few minutes and [...]

Diplo & Don Diablo – Make You Pop 2012 Reprise

These people have got rhythm, the type that you can’t really learn but that you’re born with, blessed by Terpsichore, the goddess of dance. And because keeping such a talent to themselves would be a crime against all that is good and decent in this rotten world, the kind soul that is mega-producer Diplo has [...]

A Day Made of Glass 2: Same Day

Last year Corning Incorporated–a specialty glass company–made a video about how our future would be full of ubiquitous computing where glass paneled technology would be available at the wave of a hand.

Orphic Oxtra – “Skeletons Having Sex on a Tin Roof”

Mind you, they’ll have to be careful not to trip over the cats while they’re up there and you’ll have to be careful to remember where this video put your mind after you’ve finished watching it. It’s an incredible piece of work, the [...]

One of the most harrowing movies ever made is so ripe for a remake with puppets, it’s surprising that no one did it before with Kermit and Miss Piggy as the heroin couple fighting their addiction as their world around them turns into a paranoid hell. But now [...]

The Flip Side (Bar)

This will definitely make you think. Down a dark alley on the wrong side of the street, behind a door that looks like a window into the depths of mind there’s a bar that languishes on the edge of our reality. And in this bar things are a little different to what we’re all used [...]

Release the LIAM! Mr Neeson is a man who doesn’t immediately look like he would snap your fingers back before crushing your soul with his teeth and laying waste to you entire ancestry, but he will, if provoked. And if you were in any doubt then look at him in this compilation, opening cans of [...]
