Sochi 2014 Short Track Speed Skate Reimagined as Mario Kart

Fan of short track speed skating or the always awesome Mario Kart series?  This is the perfect hybrid.

Animated Short Paths of Hate

An animated short of a WWII style dogfight between two fighters in single engine prop planes.  The animation style is awesome and the action is kinetic and fast through the snowcapped mountains.  At the end it gets a little ridiculous and the song to close it out is just terrible but it is definitely worth sharing for the style and action alone.  I would love to see a full feature in this style.

Disney's Warplanes Trailer

A parody trailer for a movie that Disney and Pixar should make instead of more Cars movies.

Captain Murphy's The Killing joke video

A fan made music video for the Captain Murphy track The Killing Joke, that Captain Murphy liked so much he made it the official video. Below is a 35 minute video released last year on VHS for the Duality Mixtape that had the internet guessing Captain Murphy's real identity. It was later revealed at LA's Low End Theory that the true identity of the Captain was producer Flying Lotus rap alter ego. A few weeks later on New Years Day I was lucky enough to be seeing FlyLo when he closed out his set with a few Captain Murphy tracks. You can download the whole mixtape at the bottom of http://www.captainmurphy.xxx/

Food Will Win the War

War propaganda that the US government commissioned Disney Studios to make once they entered WW2.  Both these shorts have to do with food and food production and how the public could help the war effort and why the US food production and American innovation was key to winning the war and defeating the Axis.

The Human History Movie

This is fucking crazy but entertaining none the less.

GZA: The Jam

GZA tell of how RZA and him went to the Bronx when they were kids to see DJs at Jams in an animated episode of Frames.

Universal's New Logo

To celebrate their 100th year Universal unveiled a new logo animation.  This video shows all the logo shots that the studio has used in cronological order.  I like all the logos they have used and the fact that they have kept the same concept through the years.

The Truth about ACTA

Last week the internet was all about PIPA and SOPA and now that those have temporarily been put on the shelf due to public outcry (and many government and media websites being taken down by hacktivists).  Now there is ACTA, the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, which establishes international standards on intellectual property.  This was drafted mainly by US multinational corporations and the RIAA and MPAA (which were the sole beneficiars and supporters of PIPA and SOPA (there were a large number of multination corporations that stood against these two bills)).  ACTA establishes an international legal framework and would create a governing body outside established international institutions.  Canada was one of the first countries to join over 6 years ago and has been fully supportive of all the bills that see big businesses wants covered at the expense of their citizens and their privacy.
