X-Men Days of Future Past first Official Image (2 photo)

Today brings us the first official image (not including all the viral stuff and Comic-Con pictures) from Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past, a title that’s little by little turning me into a Vietnamese spam bot every time I type it. Obviously, it’s a big deal for anyone who’s a fan of Earth tones. A movie that shows us what the characters looked like in the seventies! Can you imagine? Has this ever been done in a movie before? Maybe it will explain how Professor X went bald as a cueball. He’s like 30 in this and his hairline doesn’t even have power alleys. If a person can go bald that fast, I have something new to worry about. Also, didn’t Nicholas Hoult already turn blue in the last one? Don’t explain it, I want this to be a surprise. X-Men opens May 23, 2014, and the plot will include time travel, Bolivar Trask, Sentinels, and Peter Dinklage’s sweet porn ‘stache. No word on whether we’ll hear from some of the lesser-known mutants, like the guy who has super strength, but only when he’s standing in a puddle of his own pee, the guy who turns water into mustard, or Close Caption, whose special power is lip-reading.

A Reddit User Predicted Every Aspect Of Walter White's Confession (3 photo)

Now that you’ve wiped the tears from your eyes after seeing Hank and Marie’s response to Miley Cyrus’s VMAs performance, let’s take a moment to appreciate the fact that someone essentially predicted everything that happened in Walt’s confession — a scene I termed “one of the more diabolically brilliant plot twists I’ve ever seen on a TV show” in my recap/discussion post earlier — five days ago on Reddit.

The Incredible Monsters & Machines Of The Isle Of Nantes (21 photo + 1 video)

When it comes to tourism, many countries highlight their unique landmarks (Sydney Opera House in Australia, The Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy) or cultural celebrations (or the Rio Carnival in Brazil & Running Of The Bulls in Spain) as a reason to visit. But Nantes, the 6th largest city in France has an entirely different proposition to lure tourists to their region. Tucked inside several warehouses that were formerly used as shipyards, sits an exhibition titled ‘Machines of the Isle‘ (or if you’re a local Les Machines de l’Île de Nantes) that will genuinely blow your mind. Since it’s inception in 2007 it has captured the imagination of thousands of tourists visiting the area. But what is it exactly? It’s the creation of two artists François Delarozière & Pierre Orefice, their vision is based upon “Visualising a travel-through-time world at the crossroads of the “imaginary worlds” of Jules Verne and the mechanical universe of Leonardo da Vinci.” and if that sounds as ambitious as it does exciting you’d be right. Over the past 6 years, together they’ve built 3 major machines, ‘The Great Elephant’ back in 2007, ‘The Marine Worlds Carrousel’ in 2012 and ‘The Heron Tree’ which will be available to the public in 2014. Of the three, most famous is ‘The Great Elephant’ and it’s not hard to see why. Standing 12M high and stretching 8M wide it’s a structure built from a staggering 45 tons of timber and steel. But what is truly remarkable about the machine, is that was it was designed to actually move and carry members of the public. 49 to be exact and it can do so easily without any issues for around 45min. But it doesn’t end there, Delarozière & Orefice have brought other creatures to life, giant spiders, deadly venus fly traps, pterodactylus and even fish that could swallow you whole all make an appearance as you wind your away around their world. So next time you’re in Europe and what to experience something different away from the hordes and cramped cobble streets of Europe’s tourist traps – why not head over to Nantes? It’s a place where the past and future truly do collide.

That Inspirational Bill Watterson Cartoon You're Sharing Is A Homage (1 photo)

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.

Worst Break-Up Texts Ever (15 photo)

Dating is tough, but breaking up is so much worse, especially over text message. Break-up texts are hard to write. You can’t be honest with the person, because if you were, you would unleash a fury upon them that would echo through eternity, but you can’t be too nice or it will never end. No matter what you do, don’t do it like any of these idiots. These are the 14 worst break-up texts ever.

RJ Mitte -- AKA Walter Jr. -- Had Fun At His Vegas 21st Birthday Bash (5 photo)

Sooo, it looks like the latest heart throb to hit Hollywood, RJ Mite, just turned 21 and celebrated his new found awesomeness in Las Vegas, like any other typical 21 year old boy. The results? Well lets put it this way: I'm not sure whether to laugh in amusement, or let out a giant "AAWWWWW HOW CUUUTTEEE" with a condescending look on my face. I think I'll do both. Here are the results of said party:

Fantastic Manipulations Performed Before The Golden Age Of Photoshop (23 photo)

You’ll rarely see a photo today that hasn’t been manipulated, generously enhanced or overlayed with dozens of filters, but in truth this has been happening since the dawn of photography itself – its just that the process of manipulation has evolved. In the early 1800s and even through to the 1900s, if you wanted to alter your photo to create an illusion it was an incredibly labor intensive process. There was combination printing, photomontages and even overpainting – all took time and all had significant drawbacks. Which makes the following collection of fun and somewhat illusory photographs all the more impressive. They were created during an era where you genuinely had to be measured and considered in how you were adapting the film negative itself. There was no magical ‘undo’ button, just lots of trial and error and trying to adapt the technology as best you could. But its safe to say, thanks to the creativity of those involved, all of these images bear little resemblance to their original photographs – it’s amazing what a little magic can do isn’t it?

What If Dexter Writers Wrote Breaking Bad? (2 photo)

n yesterday’s next day Breaking Bad discussion a lot of you voiced your confusion and calls of bullsh*t as to how and when the light finally turned on for Jesse with regards to the ricin theft/Brock poisoning/Huell’s delicate hot dog fingers. Even Anderson Cooper didn’t know what the hell was going on. I personally felt like the groundwork had been sufficiently laid down and it made for a better reveal that they didn’t hold our hand through it. But, you know, I’m cursed with ridiculous perception skills and high cheek bones. We can agree to disagree if you feel differently, but we should also agree that given some perspective as to how it probably would have been handled by other, much hack-ier writing teams, Breaking Bad’s version of divisive writing is still superior to everything else on its best day. To really hammer this home one Redditor created the below graphic to remind us all why we’re so damn lucky.

15 Cartoons Better at Twerking Than Miley (14 photo)

If Miley Cyrus’ performance at the VMA has turned you off of twerking, or if you just find cartoon butts bouncing around hilarious, this is for you. Or, you could look at it this way — we went through the trouble of parsing through all the twerking GIFs and selecting only the ones that don’t require a NSFW tag. Frankly, it doesn’t matter how you look at it, as long as you look at it, because cartoon butts bouncing up and down ARE hilarious. End of story.

Kittens Run onto Subway Tracks in Brooklyn and Shut Down Trains (1 photo)

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!
