The Wolverine or as we like to call it Let's Just Gloss Over X3 And Origins, Sound Good? arrives July 16th, and Fox has been firing up the hype machine accordingly. We've got a new featurette, and a big, big pile of photos. First, there's this featurette, which has plenty of new footage, a fair chunk of which is dedicated to reassuring us all our favorite Japanese stereotypes will be on display: The action scenes look pretty good, we have to admit, although the plot seems even more extraneous than it already was. Also, we're starting to think Yukio, the red-headed ninja waif, has pretty low odds of making it out of this movie alive. Fox also revealed some exclusive pictures over on IGN, featuring more of Yukio, Mariko (who is apparently less of a doormat here than in the comics), the Silver Samurai, and, oh yeah, Wolverine.
Once a film’s over, what’s really going to stick in your head is the ending. Those last moments will be what you and your buddies discuss long after the credits have rolled and is why filmmakers put a lot of stock in those last few scenes. It’d be really easy to make an M. Night Shyamalan joke about now, but kicking a man whose career has had the same trajectory as a skydive without a parachute seems a little too far. Besides, it’s more than just twist endings, which are becoming more and more ubiquitous in Hollywood cinema that I’m on about here. Teases for new movies, be it a sly line of dialogue or a post credit sting also work well, but if you really want to get audiences chatting, leave them uncertain. Nothing’s going to make people recommend a film more than when they’re not even sure if there’s a twist at all. After seeing the film whose ending is succinctly solved in the image above, the ending stumped me for months. I saw the film multiple times in cinemas, each time debating with my fellow cinemagoers over the increasingly high number of nuances we were picking up. Me and my friends would even spend nights out in the real world trying to get to the bottom of what we saw. So without any more forced ambiguity, here’s ten films that people constantly say have confusing, cryptic endings, but actually have pretty simple and obvious solutions. Hopefully you’ll come away with feeling a little more certain about some classic films. Warning – MAJOR SPOILERS for every film featured. Only a handful come from the past few years and most form a key role in popular culture, but better safe than sorry.
It’s easy to see how you might let Ian Somerhalder turn you into a vampire on the CW series ‘The Vampire Diaries’ — have you looked in his eyes? You could get lost in there for hours. It’s worse than IKEA. On ‘The Vampire Diaries,’ Ian Somerhalder plays Damon, a really sexy vampire with a really troubled past (don’t they all have troubled pasts?). He hangs out with other sexy vampire types and they do sexy vampire stuff, like sulk around in the dark in nice clothing. You may also recognize Somerhalder from his role on ‘Lost’ as Boone, or from the 2002 movie ‘The Rules of Attraction,’ in which he played the bisexual character Paul Denton, who had a crush on James Van Der Beek (but who doesn’t, really). When he’s not busy being a sexy vampire, Somerhalder is involved in various charitable efforts, like the Humane Society (aww) and the It Gets Better Project. He also set up the Ian Somerhalder Foundation, which helps bring attention to the importance of the environment and animals. And a bit of good news for all the single ladies out there — he’s a free man these days.
You probably think of a plush toy as something very cute and soft you go to sleep with. Well, at least until you get to know Patricia Waller, a German based artist, born in Chile whose toys are a little bit different. “Due to the technique of crocheting – all my works are produced by myself in handicraft – and the selection of the subject-matter, my works seem harmless at first sight. But if you take a closer look, you will discover biting irony and a strong dose of nastiness.” says Patricia. The artist is interested in our fears and our ability to suppress them – that’s why Patricia plays with various themes that we usually ignore like fears of aging, illness and disability. When looking at the pictures, many people don’t realize that these toys are really huge - for instance the shark is almost 6.5ft (2 meters) long!

According to Wikipedia, “liquid takes the shape of a container” and maintains “almost-fixed volume.” So there you have it. Cats are liquids! However, unlike water, cats do not merely show the properties of liquid – they love to do so. They will take any chance to show they are liquids by jumping into various boxes, jars or pots no matter how small they are. If you are a cat owner, chances are you have already witnessed this strange phenomena before. However, if you still don’t believe this, below are 15 undeniable proofs that cats are liquids!
Here is a hilarious photo gallery of funny Ironic Moments. I hope these ironic moments will make you smile as much as I did. This collection of pictures is too funny!
Artistic Brilliance usually comes from eccentric minds. Some filmmakers tend to get a lot of leeway when it comes to weirder than normal behaviors. A few select artists go way beyond the normal weird behaviors and are down right creepy and sleazy. Here are 8 of the sleaziest filmmakers of all times.
