Watch: ‘X-MEN’ 1992 cartoon intro goes STOP-MOTION.
The X-Men cartoon was the berries back in the day. At the same time as it aired, I was also down with playing with action figures. Well, more so than I am now. I used to have epic battles, now I’m all just like, “This is hilarious, making these two figures 69. I can hear their slurping sounds.” This video logically combines these two activities, dropping the cartoon intro as a stop-motion masterpiece.

Christopher Nolan plays it cool about BATMAN cameo in ‘MAN OF STEEL.” Oh, Chrissy.
Want to know if that rumor about the Batman cameo in Man of Steel is legit? Chrissy Nolan ain’t telling you, so just shut up! The director was recently asked about the juicy little nougat of potential, and played coy like a motherfucker.

Take Five in Honor of Dave Brubeck
Dave Brubeck, influential jazz musician, passed away today at 91. An artist known for experimenting with time signatures, Brubeck created his own signature contribution to jazz with the Dave Brubeck Quartet’s Time Out, an album that soared to number 2 on the pop charts, making it one of the best-selling works in the genre. And, in this case, for very good reason too: The album is fantastic. It’s filled with memorable and lively compositions that most people, regardless of their propensity for jazz, have heard before. And no Brubeck tune is more intricately woven into the fabric of jazz and our culture than “Take Five,” a work that simply exudes cool (and was composed by the rad saxophonist Paul Desmond). So do yourself a favor: hit the jump, sit back, and take five in the man’s honor. Not only do you deserve it, but Brubeck does as well.

Microsoft planning their own ‘PROJECT GLASS’ equivalent. Errbody in AR goggles!

New patents have revealed that the Gang that Says “Oh Yeah!” is dipping their toes in the AR goggles arena.
