'Breaking Bad' Best Show Ever, Says Guinness
05 sep 2013 10:52

Walter White, he knows all about your operation, your “TV show.” His partners tell him that you’re producing a series that’s 70% great, if you’re lucky. What he stars on, Breaking Bad, is 99.1% masterpiece. “So?” you might be asking yourself. “So,” Walt responds, “it’s grade-school T-ball versus the New York Yankees, but, like, the good New York Yankees, not the current limping New York Yankees. They’re terrible. What I am is classic Coke.” “Who the hell are you?” all other TV shows ask. “You know exactly who I am. Say my show’s name.” “Do what…? I don’t, I don’t have a damn clue who the hell you are.” “Yeah, you do. I’m the star of the greatest TV show of all-time, according to Guinness World Records.” “Bullsh*t. What about Homeboys in Outer Space?” “SAY. MY. SHOW’S. NAME.” “Breaking Bad.” “You’re goddamn right.”

New Trailer For 'Gravity' Shows Why James Cameron Praised It (VIDEO)
05 sep 2013 10:48

"I had a daughter. A little girl with brown hair. Tell her that I’m not quitting." So says Sandra Bullock while floating in space in the new trailer for Gravity. It’s director Alfonso Cuarón’s first feature film since 2006′s Children Of Men, and the beautiful long shots have totally sold me on this. The first 17 or so minutes of Gravity are one unbroken shot, which may be why other directors are praising it. Guillermo Del Toro said it’s five years ahead of its time. Earlier this week, James Cameron also lauded it in a Variety interview. “I was stunned, absolutely floored. I think it’s the best space photography ever done, I think it’s the best space film ever done, and it’s the movie I’ve been hungry to see for an awful long time,” Cameron said. The new trailer below includes some footage from previous clips, but it also gives us more backstory on Bullock’s character and extra scenes of her and George Clooney trying to save themselves. Warner has made the new trailer available in 2K HD. We recommend checking this out in the highest resolution. We also recommend bringing a change of pants to the theater.

Yahoo!'s New Logo Isn't As Good As Its Fake Ones
05 sep 2013 10:38

In case you’d forgotten, or more likely hadn’t noticed, Yahoo! is rolling out a new logo today, after spending thirty days showing off “old” logos. Yes, they’ve wanted us to get excited over typefaces, and I write “us” because I’ve had a Yahoo! email address for more than a decade now. And above is the end result. First of all, it is kind of condescending to try and get us hyped up over a logo. “Here, get excited about a signifier for a brand that few people will actually care about, and as a brand, barely even qualifies as a logo!” Secondly, a month of demanding attention for this? This has an announcement video, because of course it does.

Here's Robert Pattinson's Uncensored Dior Homme Ad [VIDEOS]
03 sep 2013 09:38

It’s finally here … Kinda. Dior has now shared more than mere stills or teasers of Robert Pattinson‘s Dior Homme fragrance ad campaign by giving us several behind the scenes video as well as an uncensored director’s cut. In it, we learn that if you use Dior Homme you too will be able to land a supermodel like Camille Rowe and will therefore spend your time macking it to her, standing around while brooding on top of buildings and crashing parties for foreign dignitaries. Possibly. It’s kind of unclear in perfume commercials exactly what’s happening. Directed by Romain Gavras and featuring Led Zeppelin‘s ‘Whole Lotta Love,’ you can check out the entire uncensored ad above. Side note: even though it’s labeled “uncensored,” it’s not that scandalous, unless it’s set in the town of ‘Footloose’ where dancing and suggestively cuddling is bad. As for behind the scene shots and actual uncensored clips? You can check out those below.

On Wednesday 8/28/13 Secretary of State John Kerry announced to a news conference that the US will be going to war.
30 aug 2013 18:04

The United States relationship with the Middle East has been...rocky, to say the least. The situation has become so complex, that by now, if you are not a History or Political Science major, it's more than likely you'll get confused or mislead (especially if you are an avid FOX news reader, then it gets really confusing. In an attempt to help ameliorate any anxiety over what is going on currently with Syria --since I'm sure you've all read/seen/heard things over the media, I'm going to consolidate all the information I can gather about the subject, and walk you through what been going on. Firstly, let's start with a little History facts:

Amazon Enables 1-Click Within All Your Android Apps
28 aug 2013 17:13

In-app purchases are a pretty big deal to developers; there’s a reason the “top grossing” apps in the Android store are mostly free. Now Amazon is trying to extend that logic to buying… well, anything you see inside an app. Amazon calls it the “Mobile Associates API”, and essentially, it means you can make anything in an app an ad for it on Amazon. And it’s not necessarily a bad deal for developers, either: "The Mobile Associates API allows developers to sell real products from the millions of items at Amazon, whether physical or digital, from inside their apps or games while earning up to 6% in advertising fees from those purchases. The Mobile Associates API is an extension of Amazon Associates, our successful web-based affiliate program created in 1996, paying advertising fees to hundreds of thousands of affiliates worldwide." 6% may not sound like much, but consider that some apps can be seen by millions of people in a given day. 1% of those buying could put a lot of cash in the pockets of developers, and you have to admit, being able to click a link to buy a book is a lot less annoying than having to hit up your friends on Facebook for in-game gold. The ultimate goal, of course, is to crush all retailers under Amazon’s heel as it builds a massive fulfillment network that makes consumer gratification instant and Jeff Bezos can afford his own planet. But, hey, it’s convenient!

The Onion Trolls CNN Hard Over Miley Cyrus; CNN Editor Responds

Satirical publication The Onion published a satirical article about CNN.com’s very real head story about Miley Cyrus at last night’s VMAs, entitled “Miley Cyrus Tweks, Stuns VMAs Crowd.” Alone, this would have been funny enough, but The Onion attributed the satirical article to CNN.com’s very real Meredith Artley.

Hugh Laurie's Love Letter To Los Angeles
27 aug 2013 21:39

I present this — Hugh Laurie’s love letter to Los Angeles — to you guys today because I’ve never really been a big fan of LA. It’s always been one of those places I’ve been fine with to visit but would never want to live. But I have to say, Laurie’s pro-LA argument is quite persuasive. I’ve actually come to think that I wouldn’t want to kill myself or someone else if I had to live there.

Mississippi Residents Love Porn More Than You
27 aug 2013 21:35

There are two main insights to be enlightened by from PornHub’s data dump that’s now steaming up the Internet like some sort of steamer, perhaps in Cleveland. Fact the first: America really loves “creampies,” “college,” “teens,” and “compilations.” Those four pornographical categories are the top-searched “adult-based terms” for over 30 states in AMERICA, with the occasional outlier of “anita queen” in Nevada and “smoking” in Wyoming. Fact the second: Mississippi’s love of porn is far greater than your state’s.

Mitch Hurwitz Confirms Arrested Development Movie In The Works
27 aug 2013 21:19

Exactly a month ago Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz and Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos confirmed that Arrested Development would return in some form or another. And in the short amount of time since Mitch Hurwitz has apparently gotten hard to work. He’s just checked in with Rolling Stone to confirm that the next installment is in fact — in his mind anyway — a movie. Mitch Hurwitz has good news for Arrested Development fans. “I’m working on the movie right now,” the show’s creator tells Rolling Stone. “I can’t get into much more detail because I don’t want to scare anybody off. I don’t want to be presumptuous about it. I don’t own the property outright – it’s a 20th Century Fox property. But everybody seems really into it and really eager to make a movie.” OK, so it’s not set in stone, but I’ve gotta believe that if this is the direction Hurwitz wants to take the Bluths no one is going to stand in his way. He also must have gotten some form of a go ahead if he’s already working on the feature film version. And since we already knew Arrested Development would be back in some form or another the movie news is super swell and all but what I found most interesting came at the end of the interview…

Who Twitter Thinks Should Play Batman Instead of Ben Affleck
25 aug 2013 00:20

Wow, people are upset that Ben Affleck is going to be the next Batman. Like, really upset. It’s almost like this somehow simultaneously affects them personally (it doesn’t), and they have nothing else in their lives to worry about (we’re jealous). They may be upset about it, but at least some folks have a sense of humor about it. Here are some choice tweets on the subject.

The International Trailer For 'The Counselor' Looks Awesome
25 aug 2013 00:02

In case you were wondering, Ridley Scott’s and Cormac McCarthy’s The Counselor still looks pretty ridiculously amazing. I know, I was also starting to worry that maybe the first trailer and clips were just an illusion and that I imagined the whole thing, but fortunately the international trailer was released this morning and now I feel a hell of a lot better. Javier Bardem still looks like your dad strung out on ecstasy in a mid-life crisis, while Brad Pitt is pretty intimidating as a long-haired cowboy. And Cameron Diaz looks better than she has in quite some time, probably because she’s being mean and I just love it when girls pretend like they don’t like me. “Here, have all of the money in my wallet,” I’ll say as she puts a cigarette out on my face. Anyway, enjoy the new international trailer.

Sneaking Back Onto A Website Is Now A Federal Crime | UPROXX
24 aug 2013 23:58

Banning an IP range, the largest of banhammers, is the ultimate crowd control tool for most websites. If you’re enough of a douchebag on a site, they will essentially make it impossible for you to come back. Of course, you can just disguise your IP address and get a new account, right? Uh, nope. Not anymore. In fact, cloaking your IP address has been ruled a violation of the Computer Fraud And Abuse Act, meaning it’s a federal crime to spoof your IP for the purposes of visiting a site you’ve been banned from. This isn’t some piddling random law, either; it’s the law that basically dictates what theft is and isn’t on the Internet in the United States. You might be wondering how the hell the federal government came up with this decision. The answer lies, surprisingly, with Craigslist. Craigslist has been fighting sites like PadMapper that scrape the site for information, and blocked their IP address. PadMapper and similar sites just hid their IPs. But according to U.S. District Court Judge Charles R. Breyer… The law of trespass on private property provides a useful, if imperfect, analogy. Store owners open their doors to the public, but occasionally find it necessary to ban disruptive individuals from the premises. That trespass law has enforced those bans with criminal penalties has not, in the brick and mortar context, resulted in the doomsday scenarios predicted by 3Taps in the internet context.

Your head’s bopping involuntarily isn’t it? You’re goddamn right it is! This song is infectious, and it’s somehow even more infectious when you toss in 15,000 screaming Taylor Swift fans as she bounces around the Staples Center stage in a little leather skirt. So yeah, HATER DONE GOT SERVED.

Watch Pearl Jam's 'Mind Your Manners' Video
24 aug 2013 23:56

Pearl Jam‘s love-hate relationship with making music videos is beginning to lean back toward “love.” After winning Best Video of the Year at the 1993 MTV Video Music Awards for the stupidly controversial “Jeremy,” Pearl Jam asserted that they were done with the medium. To quote bassist Jeff Ament, “I don’t want people to remember our songs as videos.” (That sentiment lasted until 1998, although to be fair, “Do the Evolution” was entirely animated.) In 2002, five live performances of songs from Riot Act were filmed and released as videos, and the same thing happened again for cuts from Pearl Jam and Backspacer. The video for “Mind Your Manners,” a single from the band’s forthcoming Lightning Bolt, isn’t as conceptually interesting as “Jeremy,” but there are visual nods to September 11th, so…that’s something? Also, a lot of lightning. Who doesn’t love a bolt of lightning?

*NSYNC Is Reuniting At MTV's VMAs On Sunday

While all the adults are watching Breaking Bad this Sunday, the kids table will will be tuned into a very different program: The Newsroom. You know children, they can’t get enough dramatized hindsight and Sam Waterston. But once they’re done giggling at Alison Pill and her inability to act like a normal human being, because women, they’ll tune into the MTV Video Music Awards, for The Gaga, The Daft Punk, The Hippity Hop, and mostly, The *NSYNC. "Justin Timberlake and his former *NSYNC band members are set to reunite for a special performance on the VMAs Sunday night at the Barclays Center, sources tell Page Six. MTV announced that Timberlake, who topped the charts in the late ’90s with the band, will perform at the VMAs and receive the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. But we’re told former bandmates J.C. Chasez, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick are scheduled to join him onstage for a reunion performance." --MTV news. It was nice of Manager Jerry to let Chris Kirkpatrick take a day off from his shift at Arby’s to attend the ceremony. He’ll just have to pull double sometime next week. Those toilets ain’t gonna un-clog themselves.

IAMA. SF's Newest Art Museum. Free
23 aug 2013 16:48

San Francisco's Newest Art Museum is currently FREE to the public. For months staring into the window of what looks like another Rainforest Cafe, is actually the International Art Museum of America. The insides are elegantly designed, very rich with materials, wonderful natural lighting upstairs and the Oddest art collection one has have ever seen. In naming a brand new museum, mysteriously funded by a international board of trustees, the ball dropped. The majority of the Beautiful Fine Art Collection is the 16 different styles of one man, H.H. Dorje Chang Budda III. In fact one wonders if there is a American Artist in the bunch. The collection combines 19th and 20th century European art next to some of the more famous asian artist ever. Extravagant frames, catchy bios brings one to a chuckle. "How could elegance of such Fragrant Loofah in a Purple Bamboo Forest not live on forever?" or "...you marvel at them in a state of perplexity. Then you realize they are paints of different kinds of Jade." While being very diverse the collection is very entertaining for a San Francisco afternoon.

FYI: Clean up the Bay the Creative Way!
23 aug 2013 10:25

San Francisco city has implemented a 5 cent charge for store to "provide a bag service" hoping that people BYOB, Bring your Own Bag, to stores. The Bay Area Stormwater Management Agencies Association (BASMAA) study recently, revealed that about 1.36 million gallons of trash flows into the Bay every year. "This is 100 percent preventable," said Brosseau to the Mercury News. "Trash doesn't happen by itself. If we can get people to modify their behavior, we'll make huge gains." The Bay Area has a deadline to clean up the bay by 2014 otherwise they will be fined, meaning the taxpayers. So in efforts to contribute as a Bay Area Resident, here is a promotional video as well as some cool project people have done with their extra plastic bags.

Seattle Cops Handed Out Bags Of Doritos To The Stoners At Hempfest
19 aug 2013 20:20

While you were busy mowing the lawn or teaching your kid how to throw a baseball like a total square, the cool kids in Seattle were all attending this year’s Hempfest over the weekend, in order to “advance the cause of Cannabis policy reform through education, while advancing the public image of the Cannabis advocate or enthusiast through example.” I think that means that they want people to take the legalization of marijuana debate more seriously and to stop thinking all pot smokers look like this guy. Another goal of Hempfest is to get pot smokers and public officials on the same page now that marijuana is legal in Washington, and the Seattle Police Department wanted to show that officers were capable of not harshing the buzz by handing out 1,000 bags of Doritos to people at the event, and each bag came with a reminder that exercising caution is a two-way game of hacky sack.

So, Alan Moore Might Have Secretly Had Batman Kill The Joker
19 aug 2013 20:01

Who here’s read The Killing Joke? Uh huh, seeing a lot of hands. Okay now, who here remembers the part where Batman kills the Joker? You don’t? Well, maybe you just weren’t reading closely enough. Recently Scottish magician and dabbler in comic book writing, Grant Morrison, dropped the theory that Batman actually kills the Joker at the end of The Killing Joke. Don’t worry, no mystical mumbo jumbo or time-travel theories involved — Morrison’s scenario is actually pretty logical and convincing. Hit the jump to have your mind blown… Yeah, wow, okay — I don’t know if Batman killing Joker is actually what Alan Moore intended, but it’s pretty much a 100% valid reading of what we’re shown in The Killing Joke. For the record, here’s how the last page is described in Alan Moore’s script…

Lady Gaga Accuses Perez Hilton of Stalking Her, Perez Responds
19 aug 2013 18:31

It all started innocently enough, with a Lady Gaga fan getting super excited that celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton was spotted in the lobby of Gaga’s apartment building. Until Lady Gaga took this news and freaked out, calling security and then raging against Hilton on Twitter in all caps, going so far to accuse him of stalking her. After learning that Hilton was in her lobby of her New York apartment building through a fan, Gaga called security, who took care of the situation. They confirmed to Mother Monster (who was in L.A. at the time) that it was in fact the gossipmonger on her doorstep. Which resulted in some angry — and since deleted – comments hurled Hilton’s way:

Local to Ithaca New York, Kelly Cox-Brady is creating a horticultural landscape with a paint brush. Her paintings are very much like her personality, bright, bubbly, big, with a earthly center and a realistic personality. Studying landscape design, Kelly thought she would be taking her green thumb to make plants grow. Somehow along the way of life she grew Black Eye Susans (flowers) to over 10 feet tall in her Botanical Mural in Ithaca. Quoted in Garden Designs, Kelly talks about how her education combines her passion for art. "One interesting aspect of painting botanical murals is the attention to detail that is required. Since my subjects are larger than life, many details become obvious that are easily overlooked on the actual plant. It is almost like putting a specimen under a microscope, but instead I’m painting them on walls. This is where my education in plant science comes in handy. I make sure the veins, stems and petals are all scientifically accurate." Don't you love it when science and art combine together!

Big Sean 'Control' Featuring Kendrick Lamar And Jay Electronica
18 aug 2013 23:33

We live in a land of hyperbole. Everything either sucks or is the best thing ever. That’s why it’s important to keep things in perspective and temper overstatements. With that said, HOLY SH*T KENDRICK LAMAR JUST DROPPED ONE OF THE BEST RAP VERSES OF ALL TIME! Okay, seriously. K. Dot has asserted himself as one of the alpha dogs in rap and his latest verse on the unreleased “Control” from Big Sean’s upcoming Hall Of Fame only solidified that position. Kendrick Lamar is LeBron James. He’s head and shoulders above everyone else rapping at this very moment and it’s not even close. So when he drops a verse like he did here, it turns the rap world on its head. First, he declared himself the King of New York (he’s from Compton) then he dropped this gem: I’m usually homeboys with the same n*ggas im rhymin wit But this is hip hop and them n*ggas should know what time it is And that goes for Jermaine Cole, Big KRIT, Wale Pusha T, Meek Mill, A$AP Rocky, Drake Big Sean, Jay electron’, Tyler, Mac Miller I got love for you all but I’m tryna murder you n*ggas Tryna make sure your core fans never heard of you n*ggas They dont wanna hear not one more noun or verb from u n*ggas What is competition? I’m tryna raise the bar high Who tryna jump and get it? You better off tryna skydive Whoo. Yes. Kendrick namechecked every popular rapper in his age group and said he wanted to destroy them. In this day and age of chummy rappers and passive aggressiveness, KD rang off warning shots that he’s in a league of his own. Yes, this is the verse of the year and one of those iconic moments in Hip-Hop — scratch that, all of music — that you want to be a part of. So here, listen, absorb and enjoy the moment.

Prince Joins Twitter, Releases Preview of New Song “Groovy Potential”
17 aug 2013 21:44

It happened. The notoriously anti-Internet Prince has joined Twitter (which may be a little confusing to those of you who thought the @PrinceTweets2u account was actually Prince). The musician started posting Tweets under the account of his band, 3rd Eye Girl last night, a spree that as Billboard points out was verified by Twitter’s Tatiana Grace. And in just a matter of a few hours, Prince touched on all the essentials of the social media: selfies, food pictures and memes. He also posted a snippet of a new 3rd Eye Girl song, “Groovy Potential” which-as the title suggests-is indeed very groovy. Listen to the preview below.

El-P and Killer Mike got the question all rappers have been getting these past 24 hours: “What’s your reaction to the new Kendrick Lamar verse?” El-P breaks it down real simple, explains why competition in hip-hop is good for everyone, and says that when he and Killer Mike go in to record Run The Jewels material, they’re always in that kill mode. “He just got on a track, ripped it, and said what he wanted to. That’s what we do, that’s what everyone should do… it shouldn’t be rare. It shouldn’t be surprising. It should be respectable and it should be something that frequently happens.” Killer Mike adds: “That’s how I got my name!”

Watch Drake, J. Cole, & Big Sean respond to Kendrick's "Control" verse
17 aug 2013 21:29

Watch Drake, J. Cole, and Big Sean respond to Kendrick's "Control" verse In the sea of memes, response verses and spoofs (like this Hitler one) that emerged in the wake of Kendrick Lamar's verse on "Control," there is probably none funnier than this video. The clip takes interview segments of Drake, J. Cole, and Big Sean and adds a voice dub over it to make it seem like they're speaking about K.Dot's lines. Even if you're like, "Ugh, I'd rather be in a jacuzzi with The Situation before I hear one more joke about Kendrick" just do yourself a favor and make room for one more. You don't even have to watch the whole thing, just Big Sean's part. Great job Internet!

An Illegal Mountain Retreat On A 26 Story Apartment Block Built By A Beijing Professor.
13 aug 2013 18:27

A 26 story residential building in Beijing, China has a new bizarre construction. There's a mountain on the roof around one man's attic apartment. How did this happen you wonder? A doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, Professor Zhang Biqing built it over a period of 6 years by carrying rocks and other material to construct a mountain around his home. He then added some balconies and landscaping to create his own retreat. All of that was done illegally and without consulting with the rest of the building residents, so after complaints of cracking walls, the eccentric owner was issued a 15 day notice to remove his 800 square meter creation. "I used to worry that the house might be too much but I never expected this much attention," Zhang is reported to have told The Beijing News. Oh of course not, it totally blends in with the rest of the mountain top buildings.

11-Year-Old Boy Raises $16,000 for Tornado Victims Mowing Lawns
13 aug 2013 15:30

Dyllon Orthman cut a lot of green to raise a lot of green. The 11-year-old Dalhart, Texas boy cut lawns to raise $16,000 for victims of this year’s tornado in Moore, Oklahoma. Dyllon cut almost 90 lawns in a two-month period and said “If a little boy can help, then anyone can help.” The money was given to the Hudson family, whose home was ruined in the tornado. Ursula Hudson lived in the house with her six kids and says she’s blown away by what Dyllon accomplished, adding, “How does one little boy accomplish so much and contact so many people? How does he grow such an amount for us, when he didn’t even know us to begin with?” Proof that heroes come in many sizes.
