Mad X-Men
I don’t watch Mad Men. Maybe like Breaking Bad, it’s one of those shows I should just start watching, and no doubt I’ll start loving it. But sometimes, there are just shows you don’t watch. Thankfully, the kind souls at Union Pool made an X-Men/Mad Men parody. So I think that’s all I need…for now.
Chipotle Combines Food with Dystopian Beauty
I have never eaten at Chipotle before, but now I want to give them all the monies! Behold, The Scarecrow!
Was that amazing or what? The haunting rendition of the Willy Wonka song. The sad look on those cows’ eyes. The scarecrow filled with determination. The good people at MOONBOT Studios really delivered a world of commercial goodness. Apparently there’s a mobile game to go along with the commercial, but why ruin something so breathtakingly amazing with some silly app game? This rendition of ‘Pure Imagination’ is sung by Fiona Apple, who I think is going to release the single, for those of us who have fallen in love.
Legend of Korra Returns on Friday
I had no idea the new season was starting so soon! I need to stay on top of things like that! Enjoy this last minute trailer.
The first Avatar? Now that sounds fantastic. I loved Legend of Korra’s first season, and no doubt we’re all going to love season 2!
Batman is the Knight of Awesome
A super artist named Mauricio Abril decided to up his awesome level by drawing/painting this epic Batman adventure.
Set to the tune of “Knights of Cydonia” by Muse, Batman just kicks a lot of butt in pure Batman style. I know that if I were an artist in any way whatsoever (besides wordsmith), I would totally do Batman art all the time. That makes life worth living.
6 Things I Love That Everybody Else Hates
Wow, people really seem to hate Ben Affleck. When it was announced last week that Affleck had been cast as the new Batman, the Internet exploded! And after that, I think there were more articles about the negative fan reaction than there were articles about the actual announcement. It seems the Internet really, really doesn’t want Ben Affleck to play Batman.
But why not? I like Ben Affleck just fine, and I’m excited to see what he’ll do with the character.
Give him a Boston accent, probably
So that got me thinking, what are other pop culture things that I love but everybody else seems to hate? I know there are more than a few movies on that list, but what else? Being the student of the Internet that I am, keeping track of the various hate rage is just something that comes gradually. We all know that the Internet loves bacon and Joss Whedon, and we also know that everybody hates the Star Wars prequels and, apparently, Ben Affleck. These are just accepted facts of pop culture society these days.
Well I’ve put together a list of six things I absolutely love that everybody else seems to hate. And I’d love to hear some of yours in the comments.
