Le Cafe, or “Too much coffee can be dangerous”, is an entertaining short animation that tells the tale of a harrowed cubicle employee that goes through his daily routine with his coffee. Eventually the cups add up and inspire his aggression into a homicidal rampage. Directed by Stephanie Marguerite & Emilie Tarascou, and featuring the […]

This short and winsome tale tells the story of one Nikolai Tesla vs. the Douchebaggery of Thomas Edison. Now I know Edison did a lot of crazy shit himself, like invent the lightbulb, record player and film camera, but the man held many things to be desired — such as his respect for onetime employee-soon-to-be-nemesis  […]

I don’t know why, but I’m a pretty big fan of pop-up books. Both that ABC3D book and Popville are legitimate works of art, and when done right they’re their own genre of awesomeness. It appears this Il était une fois book fits the above category, as this trailer for the book hints at. Illustrated […]

A crazy anecdote by famed director Werner Herzog and his chance encounter with Joaquin Phoenix…who he saves from an upside down car crash. Maybe all that stuff about Joaquin being loose canon rapper, as portrayed in the I’m Still Here film, isn’t all just an act — maybe homeboy totally does have a very large […]

The Bryan Singer X-Men (1 & 2, not that Brett Ratner abomination) and Ironman alone slay the best of what DC’s managed to come out with, and that doesn’t even count […]

Props to N.A.S.A. who continue their Boing Boing-sponsored run of excellent animated videos (e.g. that Syd Garon directed “People Tree” video featuring David Byrne, Chali 2Na, Z-Trip and Gift of Gab, “Whachadoin?” with M.I.A., Santogold and Spank Rock, “Spacious Thoughts” with Tom Waits & Kool Keith, etc). This time it’s a vid for “Strange Enough”, […]
