The Next Big Thing? Hmm...


Sorry, not buying it.

Pepper Spraying Cop. Hmm...





So it seems that a pic snapped during the #occupywallstreet riots of an irate and assholic pepper-spraying cop has attained meme status. You'll find him pepper spraying anyone and everything without regard. There's even a Tumblr with pages and pages of photoshopped goodness in case you're bored at work. Go on, have a looksy.

The Nicest Place On The Internet. Hmm...


What a rad idea! Kinda wish I'd thought of it. Click here to see what the heck I'm on about.

The Amazing New MGMT Video. Hmm...

India's Got Talent (& Flippen Crazy People). Hmm...

REMINDER: Like Limited Editions Exhibition. Hmm...






















Don't flippen miss this #amazeballs exhibition of limited prints you can actually own without selling your mother to gypsies. It starts tomorrow at Glow Studios, Cnr Oxford and Chaplin, 6:30PM.

Salvador Dali & Walt Disney Once Made A Film. Hmm...

#truestory. In 1946, Dalí and Disney embarked upon a formidable collaboration — to create a six-minute sequence combining animation with live dancers, in the process inventing a new animation technique inspired by Freud’s work "on the unconscious mind and the hidden images with double meaning." The film, titled Destino, tells the tragic love story of Chronos, the personification of time, who falls in love with a mortal woman as the two float across the surrealist landscapes of Dalí’s paintings. Dalí described the film as “A magical display of the problem of life in the labyrinth of time.”  Disney called it “A simple story about a young girl in search of true love.” Must have been quite the project to work on... The amazing thing is the project remained a secret for over 5 years, only seeing the light of day in 1999 when Walt Disney’s nephew, Roy E. Disney, accidentally stumbled upon it while working on Fantasia 2000. In 2003, it was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film. Can't believe it didn't win. Even compared to Pixar, this is an amazing piece of animation!!!
