We live in an age of electronic gadgetry, where everyone carries around at least one device that digitally hooks them up to the world—ten years ago you couldn’t have predicted the smartphone, so what will the devices of the future hold?
Vidar Magnussen and Bjarte Tjøstheim play Sherlock Holmes and John Watson in this off-the-wall parody of the BBC series Sherlock—titled Oklahomo it perfectly nails the style and tone of the series but adds in some curve ballss using strange dialogue and scenes that make no sense and are littered with non sequiturs. And kissing. Which Sherlock and Watson like to do a fair bit, even attempting something called a “jump and kiss”. Don’t try to understand it, just laugh.
Taking inspiration from the recent ‘Would You Help a Freezing Child?’ social experiment in Norway, Youtuber Yousef Erakat decided to test how kind people in the US are by putting a kid on the street and pretending he’s homeless to see how the public would react. The results are very interesting, it seems like a bit of warmer weather seems to have an effect on the milk of human kindness.
It was the end of the 1970s, guitar music was on its way out and on its way in was a new type of music, influenced by sci-fi and Kraftwerk: synth pop! This pretty damn awesome documentary from the BBC follows the post-punk music makers whose god was the electronic sounds of the synthesiser.
It’s Chun-Li’s turn to sit in the chair—and while the others were chastised for their addition of deadly weapons or lambasted for their undecipherable battle cries, Chun-Li just gets perved over and told off for being too provocative with her Spinning Bird Kick which shows off way too much of her, er, “business”. But she claims it brings honor to the tournament. Pete Holmes, however, thinks differently.
To mark the third anniversary of the civil war in Syria, Banksy, Idris Elba and rock band Elbow have teamed up to release this remindful video as part of a global vigil. The video features one of Banksy’s most iconic images, that of the little girl holding a red balloon, but this time it floats above a war-torn and blood-strewn landscape.
It’s got Cyriak Harris doing the music with Hardcastle writing and directing—and after watching the trailer you’ll be eager to see this violent claymation horror movie about a haunted fairground ride, but first Lee needs to get it funded on Kickstarter, so you can go and donate if you’re feeling all Harvey Weinstein.
William S. Burroughs: A Man Within explores the controversial writer and junkie, who infamously shot and killed his own wife and wrote about his debauched lifestyle as a narcotics fiend, travelling the globe inhabiting and haunting cities like a phantom. This documentary, looking at the life and work of this celebrated American counterculture figure, is narrated by RoboCop (the original one), featuring never before seen footage and numerous interviews with friends and artists such as David Cronenberg, Iggy Pop, John Waters, Patti Smith, Gus Van Sant and Genesis P-Orridge.
This whole video featuring the dumb comments from Domino’s Pizza Australia Facebook page is just one facepalm after another—and if that isn’t enough to make you want to watch this and laugh in the face of these idiots then it also has the complaints being read out in silly voices, just to ram the point home how stupid these people are with their inconsequential #FirstWorldProblems.
The worrying thing about this is, not only can this mom and dad perfectly lip sync along with the music, which means they’ve listened to this soundtrack far too much—but they also seem to be enjoying it way more than their daughter who’s sitting behind them in the back seat. For the moment it’s just a funny video we can all enjoy, but if YouTube’s still around when that little girl grows up, it’s going to be cringe city.
The ubiquity of Photoshop in the images we’re bombarded with on a daily basis means that pretty much everything you see now is fake and gay—and to fully see just how crazy this retouching phenom has got, watch this video from College Humor which shows you the photoshop process in reverse—and boy is it eye-opening. Watch this one all the way to the end.
