Ok, so Be Kind Rewind is not the greatest film ever made - granted. However, like any good idea badly executed - it is still a good idea. This one in particular has spawned a whole subculture of “sweders” (”swedites?”). People dedicated to giving us their low (no) budget take on film classics. Cinematographic genius!
Warning: plays annoying, repetitive and loud music. About 2 minutes of sheer entertainment!
Pretty much everybody wishes that they made toys for a living, so getting paid to come up with as many Star Wars products as possible is unquantifiably cool. It happened to this guy, though, and I have no idea what stuff they ultimately made, but the rejected products are pretty awesome: I loved the Spaceballs-reminicent headphones, and the Jabba the Hut stress squishie.
Reminiscing about Star Wars parodies reminded me of my favorite, Hardware Wars. Starring Cookie Monster’s Wookie colored brother, I saw it as a short before a John Waters film in high school and loved it. It’s the best kind of silliness- check part 1 and 2 on YouTube.
Stumbled across a highly informative site this morning. Gave me about 5 minutes of entertainment and several times tickled my childish humour bone. So if you are wondering what a full-on honkey handshake is or if you are sick of whacking-a-mole and would like to know whether it is your chips or your salsa thats causing the problem -then gear up your fatpipe and check it out. Unless you have ribs ‘n’ dick to do it with. I know, I know, sounds like a cluster funk to me.
So, after being inspired by this post on Cool Tools (you can buy it here), I had a look into the wonderful world of soldering information on the internet. Instructables will teach you how to solder, and then you can build an auto-whammy bar to attain Guitar Hero God status, or a robot, or turn your DVD burner into a high powered laser. Of course, if you’re interested in welding (soldering’s big brother), there are lots of cool projects out there, or, if you’ve been having ninja problems, you can slap together some throwing stars.
