Vin Diesel popped in to British radio station Capital FM and while there sung a cover of Sam Smith’s ‘Stay With Me’—and it was a thing of beauty as Vin’s grizzled voice reaches for those high notes and low ones—and fails, teaching the young Smith the REAL art of singing.
A couple of Australians decide to prank call someone who calls himself a “private investigator”, who’s actually a car salesman, and it escalates pretty quickly into a war of words between them – Maybe these guys are doing a public service by outting these crazy people hidden in our midst. Or maybe we’d all go as batshit nuts as this guy and his wife, who takes the insanity up to 11, if we were called by a bunch of pranksters trying to aggravate us into a response. Either way, it’s still freaking hilarious.
Luke finding out Darth was his father, Ron Burgundy finding out Baxter is missing — two moments, if ever there were any, that require a long and drawn out “NooooooooooOOOOOOoooo!”. But it’s a staple of the movie world that comes up in pretty much every Hollywood movie worth its salt. So here’s a kind of symphony of “Noooo!”s from some classic movies.
Australian model and DJ Ruby Rose’s short film “Break Free” explores gender roles and what it’s like for people who don’t conform to typical identities that fit neatly into male or female.

Feeling sprightly today? Like the world’s your oyster and nothing can get you down? Well it’s time for a reality check as this video looks at the devastating medical, environmental, and humanitarian consequences of an all out nuclear war.

“Beth” is a song by KISS and is about the wife of a band member who calls him up during practice and asks when he’s coming home. But he’s not coming home, because he’s going to be jamming all night long. Here the song gets turned into a funny short film that every guy who’s ever been out late can relate to. And it’s full of great 1976 period detail too.
If you’ve seen the Hunger Games and Divergent, chances are you had to double take when watching the latter, so similar is its premise.
