The Most Beautiful Shots in Disney Movies

We loved Disney movies as kids, but we might secretly love them even more after we’ve grown up.

It’s a fairly common shot in his movies, which you’ll see in this video showing ‘The Kubrick…

Can You Tell the Difference Between Scenes from Hollywood Movies and Stock Footage?

Hmm. Could stock footage basically do the same thing as famous film directors getting paid millions to make a movie? Sort of! (of course not, well, depending on the director and depending on the shot) Here’s a video from VideoBlocks that compares stock footage versus scenes from famous movies like Top Gun and Drive and…

This Biotech Discovery Means You’ll Never Need a Painful Flu Shot Again

The worst part about getting vaccinated is the shot. I don’t care how much of a badass you are, it’s still painful and annoying. But now a group of researchers in Japan have tested a new “dissolving needle” that is basically a painless patch that you stick to your arm. And it works. Below, you…

How To Make a Multi-Layered Drink

Drinks are generally one boring, homogenous color. Usually it doesn’t matter because you’re in a dark bar and we’re drinking for the flavor (or more likely, to forget). But sometimes it’s fun to shake things up. Add a little color, add a new dimension to your drink. And wouldn’t you know it, the key ingredient…

The Colorful World of Shots

Alcohol is supposed to be simple: whisky, whisky and more whisky. Maybe some gin. Tequila if you want to party. Fine, vodka too. But alcohol doesn’t have to always be so boring. The sugary world of flavored party shots can be fun! Or at the very least, be super colorful. It’s really ridiculous how humans…

Dwarves invade Bilbo Baggins’ house—and start rapping

This parody video by The Hillywood Show opens with Bilbo Baggins opening his door to Gandalf and a group of rowdy Dwarves. But instead of showing off their plate-throwing skills and singing haunting music, the Dwarves start pounding drinks to LMFAO’s party rock anthem “Shots.” It’s a weird combination, but surprisingly well executed. Who would…
