You don’t realize just how crappy most action movies are, until you see something like Mad Max: Fury Road — a movie in which there are no “action scenes” because the action pretty much never stops. And the film’s constant sense of violent motion is in the service of incredible imagery and transcendant moments.

You’ll want to read the rest of this post with your eyes shut if you have even the remotest fear of heights: This is the world’s longest skywalk, which recently opened in China. The skywalk allows crazy people to walk 87 feet off a cliff for spectacular vomit-inducing views. Don’t worry, it’s only about a half-mile down to the valley floor.

Sign #456,982,455 for how you know you’re a thirsty trollop: Your tongue pressed against Chris Hemsworth’s silicone Pringles dick as soon as that screen shot came up. If I have more typos in this post than usual, it’s because I can’t see the keyboard since my tongue is glued to the goddamn screen.

I was kind of “meh” about the whole reboot of Vacation, because the last thing we as a people need is more “reboots” of 80s movies and what’s a Vacation movie without the gorgeous magnolia blossom Beverly D’Angelo in the lead female role? But my “meh” has turned into an ALL-CAPS, bolded YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS thanks to a few seconds in the newest trailer. Thor plays some character named who really cares who’s got a head full of golden 90s boy band hair and a pair of baggy chonies full of Marky Mark’s stunt dick from Boogie Nights. I’m so glad that stunt dick finally got more work. If you just want to watch Thor’s fake crotch hammer swing around like a girthy angel on a rope swing, click to around the 1:58 mark:

Yeah, they could’ve gotten Jon Hamm to do it since he wouldn’t need to wear Marky Mark’s stunt dick, but the Hammaconda is an A-list peen and they couldn’t afford it.

Tim Dunn and Nate Coppard are on a mission to rewire your brain. They're respectively the senior producer and senior designer behind Guitar Hero Live's new six-button guitar, and while neurological change is not their direct goal, it's a side effect they seem to relish. The new guitar has two rows of three buttons each, stacked on top of each other at the end of the neck -- this not only adds an extra button to the series, but it allows for fresh challenges. "It's not something people will be familiar with," Dunn says, glancing down at the Guitar Hero Live guitar in his hands. He taps some of the buttons. "It's a new thing."

Seated next to Dunn, Coopard adds, "We've had a lot of people saying they can feel their brains kind of adjusting and kind of rewiring to the new way of playing it as they play through the songs, and then gradually getting to grips with how the difficulty ramps up as you jump around between the two layers."%Gallery-slideshow285169%
