Lego Creation: Claptrap


LEGO Claptrap (CL4P-TP) from Borderlands 2 by Simon Liu

One day someone's going to invent a game that's nothing but torturing Claptrap, and I'm gonna be first in line to buy it.  Not since Link's fairy guide has there been a character as annoying as ol' Claptrap.

Hackers watch Hackers: "Hackers was a financial flop, but its hilariously over-the-top early CGI visuals, oddly prescient view on technology, and glam-cyberpunk aesthetic rendered it a cult classic. To honor its 20th anniversary—at a time dogged by newfound fears about what the future of technology holds—we thought it would be fitting to bring together a group of actual hackers to screen and discuss the film."

Video: Avengers of Oz: Age of Tin Man



YouTube user Darren Wallace took some video editing liberties in creating a mash-up of the popular Marvel franchise Avengers with the classic film The Wizard of Oz.

The mash-up re-imagines the Tin Man as Ultron, the Cowardly Lion as Thor, the Scarecrow as Captain America and Dorthy and Toto as Black Widow. This is the stuff movie-lover dreams are made of.


Short Film: Actor Seeks Role



"Actor Seeks Role" is a short comedy film about the difficulties of pursuing an acting career.  In it, a struggling method actor resorts to medical acting, a part-time gig performing the symptoms of various illnesses for student doctors.

As two competing mentors direct our struggling actor, their incongruous advice sparks an internal tug-of-war.  The film is a darker-toned character study that explores what happens when preparing for a role turns into an unhealthy obsession.  The film builds up slowly, paying fantastic attention to detail.
