Cool Things to Find, A Parody
If only all parody videos were this catchy. It’s a parody of ‘Dumb Ways to Die’.
I love the art, I love the song; taking the ‘Dumb Ways to Die‘ video and making new version is just good Interneting. It’s also a little odd that this seems to be a legitimate video in its own right, like an ad for the Mars Curiosity Rover. This is a great way to celebrate and cherish Curiosity for all of its alien exploration. Speaking of which, has Curiosity found aliens on Mars yet? That’s why we set it up there, right?
The video was produced by Cinesaurus, which scores points for making their name sound like a dinosaur.
The Great Geek Dark Knight Rises Project
All hail Ben “kinjamin” Deguzman as the greatest Batman dream artist ever!
According to his Deviantart page, it sounds like kinjamin is just having his own bit of fun designing characters and plots to follow up on Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy. John Blake as Batman, of course, but he’s got a ton more. I’ve included them after the jump, including a take on Robin and an ingenious take on Huntress that I can’t believe never occurred to me. Kinjamin makes sure all of his ideas fit with established movie continuity, and it’s just very cool. I love that kind of fan fiction creativity. And the fact that he took it a million steps further with this awesome art is just beyond brilliant.
Join me after the jump for Robin, Huntress, Harley Quinn, Batgirl and a new Two-Face. He’s also promised more images to come someday!
Literal Iron Man 3 Trailer
Tobuscus is at it again with a Literal Iron Man 3 trailer! His videos have become some of the favorite music parodies I’ve ever posted on my blog!
Is that man a genius or what? I don’t know how well his songs actually match up to the music in the trailers, but I have to assume it’s good. He’s a lyrical master. I wish he produced more of these more often, I’d post every single one. Plus, this somehow gets me even more excited for Iron Man 3! So that’s pretty neat.
So Many Dumb Ways To Die
If you work for the railroad and want to stop idiots from playing on the rails, what do you do? If you’re in Australia, you apparently win the Internet.
Is that not the most adorable and gruesome thing you’ve seen all year? It’s good to know that the magic and power of the Internet can be used for educational purposes. The video was created by the Melbourne Metro Trains, with a song by Tangerine Kitty. You can even enjoy it in gif form!
And please, people, stay off the tracks. And don’t drink super glue.
The Ultimate Hobbit Trailer
Some genius has created a 7-minute trailer for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. They’ve spliced together all the footage from the other trailers and TV spots! And it’s neat!
It’s a little long, and not as epic as the real trailers and TV spots. But it’s still fun to see something like this. A lot of people out there on the Internet have a lot of talent. And I love me some Internet talent.
