See What Happens When A Seagull Borrows A Camera In San Francisco [Video]

Steph Barber — Thu, 13 Sep 2012 15:54:16 +0000

Youtube
Seagulls are pesky birds. I have always thought so. But a seagull in San Francisco swiped a camera from a French tourist while she was taking pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and the video that the camera continued to record is pretty amazing. Catch it after the jump.

No Plans This Weekend? Hollygrove Awaits…

FINALLY a nice cool fall-like weekend to enjoy the Michigan Renaissance Festival! Especially if you like dressing up in 16th century garb, you’d know that just isn’t comfy when it’s 87 out. 69 will be today’s high. Much more reasonable! 71 tomorrow. Of course you don’t have to dress up, I usually go in shorts [...]

Early Movie Concept Art: See What Your Favorite Characters Could've Looked Like

Nick Romano — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 14:46:01 +0000

Just as with scripts, movie concept artists go through many a draft until they get the final approval for their character portrayals. Take Shrek for example. A recent photo posted to Reddit revealed that our favorite green ogre with a hero’s heart started out looking more like the star of ‘Coneheads.’ And Yoda, ‘Star Wars” supreme Jedi master, was originally depicted as a combination of hobbit and elf from the upcoming ‘Hobbit‘ trilogy.

It’s safe to say that if things had gone differently — maybe if one day Pixar studio reps had drank too much coffee than usual and approved the wrong sketches — all these classic characters, from ‘X-Men‘ mutants to Woody and Buzz in ‘Toy Story,’ wouldn’t have looked the way they do today.

Someone in Spokane, Washington must have a lot of time on their hands. Who is sneaking stacking all the parks’ picnic tables into a pyramid, and why?
