Congrats to Birdman, Here’s Big Birdman!
I freely admit to being one of ‘those people’ who don’t like awards shows. I don’t rub it in anybody’s face, but I can’t even remember the last time I watched an awards show, if ever. I just don’t care to celebrate celebrity like that, thank you very much. Besides, the winners are announced online the next morning, so I know that Birdman won best picture. I haven’t seen it yet, but now I suppose I should get around to that.
Speaking of Birdman, enjoy this parody, Big Birdman! It’s exactly as it sounds.
I love the Internet. And I love the Sesame Street is finding ways to go viral. They’ve got the Sesame Street muppets, potentially one of the greatest viral opportunities in the world!

Lord of the Rings Finally Explained!
The Internet can be so helpful sometimes!
Thanks, CGP Grey, that was a load of help. I’ve never read any of Tolkien’s books, but I love The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, and quite honestly, I suppose I don’t really know why the One Ring is the way it is. This video really helped clear everything up in the way that only the Internet can.
He’s also got a second video detailing the origins of the various races of Middle Earth!

Pokemon Awesomeness!
I mostly congratulate the Internet for its silly stuff, but today we celebrate artists! So many people can come together and collaborate on something as cool as this redone opening theme. Plus the Pokemon opening theme is legendary, now even moreso! You can get more information on this nifty project on their Tumblr.

Old Meets New in Resident Evil
For the umpteenth time, the original Resident Evil game has been re-mastered with new and awesome graphics. But someone with the message board handle of Bunny has decided to splice that re-mastered graphical awesomeness with the original game’s very-outdated audio. It is, quite simply, brilliant.
This is the sort of genius idea that the Internet was made for. I loved the original Resident Evil games. I think they were the reason I went with Playstation back in those early video game wars. I think I played Resident Evil 2 half a dozen times.

Sweet Avengers Trailer Mash-Ups
Oh Internet, how I love you. You deliver us joyous videos like this Star Wars/Age of Ultron mash-up.
This bit of greatness comes courtesy The Unusual Suspect, the genius that delivered the previous Star Wars/Guardians of the Galaxy mash-up. This man is doing the Internet Lord’s work, and we are all better for it. This Ultron video was especially good.
But wait, there’s more! How about this mash-up of The Avengers and Watchmen?
Considering Disney owns both Age of Ultron and Star Wars, they should hire this guy and make these videos legit marketing for both movies! General audiences would eat this stuff up! And The Unusual Suspect needs to become more famous.
