Superheroes - HBO Documentaries



This is real. The HBO Documentary from director Michael Barnett, Superheroes, provides a glimpse into the lives of a few Real Life Superheroes (RLSH). The 80 minute film follows these eccentric crusaders as they attempt to rid the streets of violent crime, and help those in need.

A noble cause fueled by delusions? Maybe. But this documentary is absolutely worth the watch.

80's Video Friday

While research shows this was NOT the first documented sighting of the 80's video dance move known as the "80's gentleman snap and twist", this is clearly the first video to show the move perfected. This 1986 masterpiece not only contains the legendary dance move, but they've also thrown in  an electric keyboard on a shoulder strap just for good measure.

Thanks to my friend Amy B. for this week's 80's Video Friday submission.  This was her pick because "Steve looks really nice "...

San Diego Fireworks 2012

I'm sure most have already seen this, but for those who haven't... this is AMAZING.

Shark: "Don't touch my stuff"

I really like how this dipshit, after shrieking in terror, attempts to reel in this "big ass shark". "It's all mine, It's all mine!!!"..... I think you're going to need a bigger net, buddy.

Hong Kong Apartment

Architect, Gary Chang, took his tiny 360 square foot Hong Kong apartment and turned it in to an efficient 24 room livable space.  This should give Ash and M. of The Dim Sum Diary some great ideas for their space in HK.  With M.'s love of Transformers, they should have their walls sliding into 50 or so rooms in no time. I expect to see a full size movie theater and billiard room in their place on our next visit.

Dark Knight Rises - Featurette

This is going to be epic. In theaters July 20th, 2012.

80's Video Friday

I heard someone blasting this song through their headphones this AM on the train. The lady looked like she was having just a terrific ride in to work.  Thanks for this excellent 80's video, Huey.

Happy Flag Day!

#ShellFail

This video is horribly ironic, but slightly hilarious.  I'd assume you normally wouldn't want oil colored liquid shooting out of the beverage rig at your Arctic drilling release party.

...and on a lighter note

I really appreciate that someone made this video.

Kids Reenact 'Sabotage' - MCA Tribute

Gawker:
Kids Reenact 'Sabotage' to Honor Memory of the Late MCA
Portland-based filmmaker and Dad of the Year shorlister James Winters played next level cops and robbers with his kids and nephew last week while putting together this stellar reenactment of the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" to pay tribute to Adam "MCA" Yauch who passed away May 4th at age 47

Meet Cody

Somewhere in between hundreds of clips of folks getting hit in the nuts with assorted things, AFV (yes, that's Americas Funniest Home Videos) squeezed in this gem of a video. Meet Cody the Howling Dog.  Not exactly the voice of an angel erupting out of this animal.

Wing Suit

 Not too bad of a way to get around.  These suits are so rad.
