Video: 9-YEAR-OLD Builds Cardboard Arcade; It Gets Flashmobbed. Heartwarming ++
This is some heartwarming riffage right here, guaranteed to make everyone save the most resolutely douchey people smile. Caine Monroy is a 9-year-old who spent a summer vacation building a cardboard arcade. Swagometer already buzzing. Caine totally was sweating the day people would come and rock out at his arcade…but it never happened. That is, until this filmmaker came upon it.

This SPACE PHOTO Has A Fox Fur, A Christmas Tree, And More.
The human mind is wonderful in its capacity for seeing familiar objects in the unfamiliar. NASA all claims we should be seeing a Christmas tree and a fox fur or some shit in this photo, but all I’m seeing is a vagina. Yes, a vagina. I’m sorry. I apologize. I see it. It glares at me.
Strange Moments in Solid Movies: Return of the Jedi Buzzkill
Call me crazy, but I subscribe to the notion that, since its beginning, the universe has been ever-spreading and everything within its massive expansion has gone along for the ride. Following suit, every initial notion with storytelling potential tends to enlarge exponentially, growing with time and purpose into stories and, if the commercial and/or artistic drive remains resolute, these stories multiply into sequels and beyond. This especially holds true for the interstellar saga from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. After its explosive entrance into the public sphere in ‘77, the Star Wars universe took three years to develop from A New Hope into The Empire Strikes Back, wherein its archetypal characters became more complex and their dilemmas darkened as SW’s expansion followed its primary course into the emptiness of space. But then something changed: George Lucas, supreme author, came down and let there be lightness where the darkness once dominated. And this certifiable change is evident in the trilogy’s finale, Return of the Jedi.
MINIMALIST Posters Explain Complex Philosophies With Basic Shapes. F**k My Degree.
Well here’s some peanut butter on my balls just prior to the dog nibbling it. This assortment of gorgeous minimalist posters summarize complex fucking philosophical ideas more succinctly than my dumb ass and my philo-minor. Yeah well, fuck you, posters! Minimalize that.
No seriously they’re hot.
THIS WEEK on Game of Thrones: “The Night Lands”
This is the week everything could go wrong for a heavily serialized show like Game of Thrones. It’s the second episode of a second season; a show can knock an audience on its ass one year with a perfect storm of timing, talent and spectacle, and then lose it all during the hiatus. A shoddy premiere can rest on the laurels of its fans’ frothing anticipation and still come away with merit.
We’re pretty fortunate then, that we got the premiere we did, and the second episode to prove shit’s still on track. The immense task of adapting Martin’s ‘song’ is somehow, somehow still staying faithful to its source text. Ponder that, and marvel at it after every episode.
ROB LIEFELD Slaps Down Hipsters By Drawing Feet. Well Played, Sir.
The DC solicitations for their July comics feature a disturbing trend: Rob Liefeld actually drawing feet. This occurrence across three of his covers is unfathomable even to his supporters like myself, who embrace his absolute lack of regard for human anatomy. Liefeld didn’t just stop there. He threw a pretty amusing quote-bomb upside his detractors’ skulls.
ACTIVISION v. INFINITY WARD Court Date Delayed. Just Get It F**king Over With
Activision and Infinity Ward have tots had the hate for each other since their falling out around the time of Modern Warfare 2: More Warfare Post-Modern (Warfare 1). They’ve been suing one another for like infinity (years!) and it doesn’t look like its about to end.
Rumor: KID CUDI Is In The ‘NINJA TURTLES’ REBOOT? WHAT HAVE WE DONE.
Dark Lords and Masters, what have we done to offend you so? It wasn’t bad enough that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are going to be Turtle Lookin’ Motherfuckers and nothing more in their reboot? Now we have Kid Cudi rolling up (ha!) into the franchise?

NEW ‘AVENGERS’ CLIP: Maria Hill Goes Blah Blah Blah
There’s a new Avengers clip featuring Nick Fury and Maria Hill gabbing about what out of context is essentially nothing. I’m pretty excited to see Maria Hill on the big screen, as she is a character that I’ve come to close in the Marvel U the last couple of years. Here’s hoping she gets to shoot a motherfucker or two on top of this bickering.
