Marvel has released a new extended TV spot for Thor: The Dark World, and as you've seen, it looks like he has his work cut out for him in this next movie. He's going to be fighting some real bad dudes in trying to once again save the universe. Unfortunately, there's really nothing new to see here, but the movie still look amazing! I can't wait to see how this story turns out, especially the ending. I think it's going to be pretty jacked up. The highly anticipated film hits theaters on November 8th, 2013.

Here's another episode from the fun new webseries, Movie Phone Mangler, created by YouTuber gnarlytooth. This one takes Ed Rooney from Ferris Bueller's Day Off and pits him against Les Grossman from Tropic Thunder. It's a perfect combination that delivers some funny entertainment.

After a few weeks of teasing, the latest Borderlands 2 animated short is here! It follows Brick from the first game and everyone’s favorite homicidal pre-teen girl, Tiny Tina. This short is a prologue to the downloadable adventure,Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep, which is Tiny Tina playing Bunkers and Badasses (a play on Dungeons and Dragons) with the players. In short, it is hilarious.

This cages were designed for temporary 72-hour stays. But many of MS-13 and M18 gang members have to stay there for months and even years. Unhuman conditions but at least they have some extra time before being killed in the streets.

Copehill Down in the English county of Wiltshire may look like a normal English village but it's different. Copehill Down is a mock-up or, more accurately, a FIBUA – an acronym standing for Fighting in Built Up Areas. It is used by the UK Ministry of Defence to train the armed forces in the art of close quarters combat in an urban area.

Yesterday we introduced you to Julia, from Russia who is a very strong girl. Here is Georgina MCconnell, a British girl as a comparison. This is how she looked when she was 16. After the jump you'll see how she looks today.

In the Yunnan province of Southwest China, this man caused havoc at a local bank when he paid his assault fine. The man in question got into a physical fight with a customer at his noodle shop. He was ordered to pay damages and gave the woman 10,000 Yuan ($1600) in small coins. When he deposited only half of the money into the bank, it took 18 workers 8 hours to count it all.

If you haven’t seen much of Poland yet, then Kacper Kowalski’s aerial photos will make the perfect introduction. Born in 1977, the artist originally holds a degree in architecture, but has turned to piloting and photography instead. While flying above northern Poland, he found two incredibly beautiful lakes and decided to capture them as they change throughout the seasons. One of the lakes is in Kashubia and another one in Pomerania. Being in control of both the plane and the camera gives Gdynia-based artist a unique ability to control and handle each shot as he pleases, so each photo is thought-through and completed.

From these pictures it seems that commuting in Tokyo has not changed that much since the ‘60s. Here’s a snap from 1972, during a Tokyo railway strike, which crowded trains so much, some had to exit through windows. Weeee!

If you're looking for a little something to brighten up your day, come check out the cleverly placed street art by OakOak. The French street artist sees the city as his playground as he finds everything from stair rails and street lights to random markings on a wall to become a part of his clever creations. While at times he'll feature pop-culture characters like King Kong or Calvin and Hobbes, for the most part his whimsical works take on the form of animals found in some hilariously unexpected places.

Photographer Oleksandr Hnatenko brings his imagination to life with this extensive collection of surreal scenes. His series, entitled S. Real, captures a strong contrast between shadows and lights to produce the visually dynamic moments. In each photograph, the Austria-based artist invites his viewers into a bizarre world filled with unique perspectives, optical illusions, and confusing spaces. By naturally blending the concrete with the conceptual, Hnatenko creates playfully contrived realities in which his subjects hide behind fish eyes and top hats, bodies magically disappear into the floor, and normal expectations are completely defied. He says, "In the search for reality, you come across many things, some that are simple, some old, some new, some that are eye-catching, in color or in monochrome, visible things and some hidden from view, some things with sense and some without…Surreal moments are born out of this."

Texas-based artist and animator Robby Cook has illustrated Disney princesses, villains, and other characters as elemental benders from Nickelodeon’s Avatar: The Last Airbender. Jasmine is depicted as a firebender with her lightning tiger Rajah, Mulan is a member of the earth-bending Kyoshi Warrior clan, Pocahontas is appropriately an airbender, and Ariel is a waterbender. Ursula, the villain of The Little Mermaid, is a corrupted waterbender who controls Ariel through the dark art of bloodbending. To see the rest of the crossover artworks, head over to Cook’s website.

St. Petersburg-based digital artist Alex Andreev recently unveiled the 9th installment of his ongoing series titled A Separate Reality. The collection features remarkably surreal illustrations of an alternate universe where skateboarders are guided by flying stingrays, masses of land float in the sky, and there's little difference between an enormous airplane and a monstrous octopus. Each image is brimming with elements from real-life placed in unconventional compositions, making them seem like weird yet wonderful dreams. Andreev's imaginative works borrow just as much from his own creative dreams as they do from his childhood memories. By merging these two sources of creativity, both conscious and subconscious, the artist produces entirely unique scenes. There's a sense of enthusiasm for exotic environments that think way outside the box, awarding residents of Andreev's fictional settings the freedom of free falling and diving through the clouds without a worry in the world.

Photographer Neil Girling of The Blight is posting photos on Flickr of the 2013 Burning Man festival, which runs until September 2nd in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert. Last year we posted about Girling’s photos from the 2012 festival.

You’re probably familiar with the phrase “One man’s trash is another man’s gold” and there’s few better examples of that than the work of visual artist Francisco de Pajaro. Much like Clet Abraham who has fun hijacking Europe’s street signs, Francisco likes to bring a bit of life, vitality and humour to our sterile urban environments. In a recently interview with James Buxton of Global Street Art he stated that:

The Kingdom is a visually stunning series by world-renowned graphic designer, photographer, and producer Seb Janiak. The images focus on massive accumulations of clouds in the sky, visually portraying the power of nature as it swirls overhead. In each composition, viewers will quickly get lost in the lively, dramatic clouds that lead directly to a bright central point. The French artist created "digital matte painting," a technique in which several images are layered together to produce one hyperrealistic photograph. In each of these compositions, he draws on that technique to create a fantasy world displayed in the turbulent skies. He focuses on nature and its mysterious forces to create each breathtaking scene. The transforming clouds reveal the changing light throughout a full day, moving from bright daylight to the shadows of moonlight that reveal twinkling clusters of stars.

It’s a good thing payday just happened, because here are a bunch of things that are going to tempt your wallet…

The UK artist Shitty Watercolour has become semi-famous on the Internet for his funny and clever paintings. Here’s a roundup of a few of his celebrity portraits as sloths.

If anyone knows anything about New Yorker's, it's that they're always in a rush (they must have a large Russian population. yay jokes!) Last Thursday, 8/29, the two culprits were caught delaying the NY MTA services after meddling, or loitering around the subway tracks. Damn those loitering vandals! They were however rescued, and subway services returned to normal and now you can go on with your normal day after having been informed of these dreadful news!

If you’ve checked your Facebook feed lately, chances are you’ve seen a friend, coworker, acquaintance or former middle school teacher sharing a “new” inspirational Bill Watterson cartoon. Except, it’s not actually by the reclusive artist behind the beloved ‘Calvin and Hobbes’ comic strip.

If you aren’t completely caught up with ‘Breaking Bad,’ move along. This is not for you. Otherwise, jump right in and enjoy these hilarious videos. Naturally you remember the scene from last week when Marie and Hank found out what was on the disc Walt gave them. Pretty quickly, people decided that the couple’s horrified reaction warranted a little messing with. Here are some great videos made showing the Schraders watching a variety of things in varying degrees of disturbing. Enjoy!

The aftermath of a music festival in Reading, UK. The visitors have left a lot of garbage and abandoned tents.

People Too is the name of a Russian paper-craft agency run by two talented artist Lena Erlikh and Aleksey Lyapunov. Hailing from Novosibirsk, the magnificent duo has been creating incredibly detailed sculptures produced out of paper depicting scenes from everyday life. Some of their work is commissioned by various agencies. Recently, they were hired by Amnesty International, a non- governmental organization focused on human rights, for an advertising campaign “Fan the flame”.

Not too long ago, professional illustrator Mica Angela Hendricks could not have imagined sharing her personal art projects with anyone. However, one day, when she bought a new sketchbook, her 4-year old daughter started adding her own contributions. Mica noticed that unrestrained imagination of a child allows her girl to finish the paintings in a way that the artist could never think of herself. Now the mom starts a piece by drawing a face, and the daughter finishes it up with the body she thinks to fit best. Mica never knows how they will turn out – which was tough for a perfectionist at first – but she learned to appreciate it:

Simon Hennessey is a Birmingham, UK based artist who paints realistic images of famous landmarks around the world as reflected in the lenses of a pair of sunglasses. Like most hyper-realistic painters, Hennessey’s process starts with the camera. But instead of simply copying the photograph, the artist proceeds to add or remove details, depth, add textures, form and color values, thereby creating an illusion of a reality not seen in any photographic source. “My Paintings therefore appear clearer and more distinct than a photograph. constructing my own interpretations of a reality results in blurring the boundaries of what is real and what is made up,” said Simon Hennessey. “I use the camera only as a source to assist me with gathering information.”

Artists Anya Stasenko and Slava Leontyev work together to create little sculptures of whimsical creatures both real and imagined that are as adorable as they are weird…

Colonel Meow, a Himalayan Persian cat who lives in Los Angeles, California, has set a Guinness World Record for “cat with the longest fur.” Three independent vets measured his fur at an average of 22.89 centimeters, or nine inches. Colonel Meow’s new record will be featured in the Guinness World Records 2014 book, which is set to release on September 12th. “We already knew that he was the best cat in the world, but to be recognised in the Guinness World Records book takes it to the next level,” Colonel Meow’s owner Anne Marie Avey said.
