You are not a bigger fan of Raiders of the Lost Ark than Jamie Benning is. Don’t even bother trying. Out of nothing more than love for the film, Benning has released his own 2.5-hour documentary on the making of the film that goes more in-depth than any doc approved by Spielberg or Lucas.

Why would anyone want a guillotine, much less a guillotine made of bone? Then again, why wouldn’t anyone want one? The guillotine is known to be one of the worst methods of execution, and while I don’t think anyone uses it today (you never know, though), it does have a lot of historical value. If you are into history and execution-related stuff (not to mention bones), then this bone guillotine model will certainly catch your attention. While I am not particularly into gory things, this bone guillotine model did make me look twice. Even three times. You have to admire the work that went into the bone guillotine model.

Did you go through the phase of collecting stamps as a child or teenager? Did you engage in the good old activity of writing snail mail to pen pals from all over the world? Maybe today, as an adult, you still consider yourself a philatelist. If this is the case, then you might be interested in the recently launched stamps series by the UK’s Royal Mail. The series is none other than artwork from the stories of children’s book author Roald Dahl. Who doesn’t recognize that name? After Charlie and the Chocolate Factory captured the attention of people of all ages all over the world, Roald Dahl became a household Read more »
Who’s on the edge of their seats waiting for when The Dark Knight Rises finally comes out in the theaters? I guess the better question is: Who isn’t? We can’t do anything about that but wait, although you have the option of stoking the fire of anticipation by watching the teaser again and again. Or reading up on the movie over and over. Or you can just head on over to The Big Bad Toy Store and get your very own Dark Knight Mr. Potato Head. If you are a fan of spuds, then you will need no convincing to get this toy. If you don’t have a single Mr. Read more »
Did the 1992 “Death of Superman” storyline from DC Comics send you into a fit of fanboy fury? Max Landis, son of director John Landis and writer of the film Chronicle, was pretty ticked by it. His 15-minute rant-slash-reenactment is required viewing for all true comic book fans. Read more »
It’s that time of the year again, when everyone and their mom seems to be caught up in the overly commercialized fever of the “Love Month”. We are not totally averse to Valentine’s Day, as you may very well know. We have posts such as the one about the Indiana Jones engagement ring. If, however, you are not feeling all too lovey dovey this month, don’t worry. There is no pressure to fall into the commercial trap from us! In fact, today’s post just might make you appreciate flowers more than ever. Without the usual connotations that come with it. These flower pictures are the work of American photographer David Read more »

We just released the only 2012 movie calendar that you will need, and I think that many of you found more than a few interesting titles in there. (Remember that you can give your input by getting in touch with us via the link given in the post!) Anyhow, if you are into calendars that serve a different kind of purpose, you will love the Mapping Stereotypes Calendar Project by Alpha Design. As you can read from the title, however, this is definitely not for you if you are rather sensitive about political correctness and everything else remotely related to the concept. The Mapping Stereotypes Calender Project might very well Read more »
As all fans of Calvin & Hobbes know, Bill Watterson shunned all tie-in merchandise for his creation, never selling so much as a bumper sticker. So it’s a very big deal that one lucky buyer is about to get an incredibly rare art print signed by the artist. Read more »
Do still remember the good old days when you had to sit in class, listen to your professor give a long lecture, and write down notes in your trusty notebook? I certainly do! These days, I think kids still use notebooks, but I wouldn’t be surprised if many university students these days use their smartphones, tablets, or even laptops. However, I don’t think that you can deny the pleasure of actually wrapping your fingers around a nice pen and writing things down on a sheet of paper. And nowadays, when it comes to notebooks, I think we can all agree that Moleskine is one of the more popular brands out Read more »
