Boob Toob Supplemental: Yes, we're still here!


I went on a holiday (it was fun) and one of my other partners in crime did a blog (those jerks) but now we're back (who cares) to do another Boob Toob Supplemental!

The image you see above was done by freelance concept artist Khyzyl Saleem. I like Marty's new car a lot.

I'm just gonna throw at you every video I've been hoarding.


The Leviathan

I'm speechless. Stop reading and go watch the damn thing!

Thanks to recent guest on the show and super nice guy Nick Brokenshire for posting this. I will punch things if this doesn't get made as a longer movie.



Arnold Schwarzenegger as Darth Vader

George Lucas messed up by not casting Arnold as Vader.

Thanks Jon.



Where No Boob Has Gone Before

This might take you a while to watch but it's pretty interesting, at least for a science goober like me. You get to see light travel outwards from the sun in real time.


Thanks Rowland Pearce.



87 Bounces


Neat!



Jurassic World Trailer


Looks good but needs more Goldbloom.



Pixels trailer


I like like a lot of these games (ARKANOID!) so I hope this movie doesn't suck.




Marvel Photobomb Team-Up


In case you were curious what Cap and Star-Lord do when they're not saving the world/galaxy...



Beautiful Chemistry

This wasn't done using CGI apparently. They did those chemical reactions and filmed it. So pretty.

Check out their website for more chemistry goodness.



Every 90s Commercial Ever

Thanks Vernson. I don't even...

Boob Toob Supplemental: We're back, baby!


It's been too long! Time for some silly videos!

Btw, any time I get to use Picard as the header image is the best day ever.


The Killing of Satan

Hey Cumberbatch! Pack up your stuff and go home. The Philippine film industry already made a Doctor Strange movie and it was awesome.


This was covered in greater detail in thatscoolthatstrash.com. Thanks to Matt Howell for tweeting it.


French accent Picard

Plus some other fun stuff. But mainly French accent Picard. I needed this in my life.




Clay Davis teaches people how to say “sheeeeeeeeit”

I needed this in my life. I really did. Big thanks to Rob Hafferman for pointing this out.




Needs more Picard

How about getting clothes that fit, baldy!




Batman vs Superman Lego

Why wait for the Zack Snyder movie when you can watch the World's Finest battle it out now. And in Lego form too! Thanks to Whirlwind Kevin for sending me this.



"But what about all the collateral damage?"

*Insert Picard facepalm gif*


Claystantine

If they don't renew the Constantine tv show, I'm happy for the story to continue in clay form. I think I also have Kevin to thank for this. I should hand him the keys to the blog and cut out the middleman.




Farnsworth Project

Kinda creepy but pretty awesome nonetheless.

Boob Toob Supplemental: All about the Bobgar


The first few are from Bossman Bobgar. I say Bossman because he could've just posted these himself but he told me to do it. Rant over, on with the show!


Disney's Feast

Pretty sweet short animated movie from Disney. A feast is a feast!




Looking back on Lost: 14 Things You Probably Didn't Know

Not a video but an interesting article nonetheless if you're a Lost fan like Bobgar and I.

KEATON!




Pikachu on Acid

Funny. Ass. S&*#. Needs more Charmander though.




2000AD Documentary Teaser Trailer

Thanks to our buddy Damjan for pointing this out to us. Wipe the drool off your face Bobgar.



Okay, Bobgar's taken his best shot. Now it's my turn!


Captain America: Winter Soldier - out now on... VHS?!?!

I wish I could be half as awesome as the guy who put this together. I really do.




Live Action Adventure Time Trailer

Damn, this is pretty depressing. LSP noooooo!




I Like Green Tea

Favourite band ever.




All Futurama Episodes

In case you wanted to watch every Futurama episode ALL AT THE SAME TIME!

I think my eyes are bleeding...




All Simpsons Couch Gags

In case your eyeballs are still intact after that last video...

Boob Toob Supplemental: Toob Raider edition


We got a new cat and named her Indy. Because she likes to explore. We did it as a joke after talking to fellow Boob Toober/Blooger/cat owner Rebecca but the cat seemed to respond to it so we just went with it. But enough of my life story, here's some videos and junk!


Raiding the Lost Ark

Really cool 'filmumentary' by Jamie Benning. This actually came out 2 years ago but just got around to seeing it recently. It's Raiders of the Lost Ark but spliced with supplementary material (in the form of audio, video, transcripts, pictures and even comics) related to the making of the movie. Really fun to watch especially if you like Raiders and/or Indiana Jones in general.



Staging Raiders

In case the above video wasn't enough for ya, here's Raiders in black and white and with a different score to help emphasise Steven Spielberg's staging techniques. The guy behind all this is director Steven Soderbergh and I guess he thinks very highly about Raiders from a visual staging standpoint.

No embeds but please go to this link for his write up as well as the video. Careful with that thang, Indy!



Korra Book 4 trailer

I can't believe this series is almost over. Just 4 books/52 episodes in total. I thought book (or season) 4 wasn't until next year but it'll be out this month. Maybe Nickelodeon wants it out of the way. Such a good series, one of my all-time fave animated shows. I'm gonna be sad when it's over and I hope they do another show set in the same universe.



Moonlight | Sony A7s ISO test

I'm into photography and I watch a lot of these kinds of tests but I normally don't post them here. This is pretty nice though. Shot using a Sony A7s and lit entirely by moonlight. Good job by Sony creating a sensor that performs really well at the higher ISOs and if I was more of a video guy, I wouldn't hesitate picking one up. (I have the A7 and it does really well with photos.)



Japanese GotG trailer

Yeah, I'm not done with the Guardians of the Galaxy love. Check out the Japan trailer. A lot more entertaining than the one we got.


I had a couple more GotG related stuff to post (one was the team's appearance in the Avengers Pokemon-like anime and the other was Chris Pratt's GotG/Marvel parody by SNL) but they seem to have been taken down from Youtube. Oh well. Watashi wa Groot!


Optical illusion

For those of you who like headaches...


I'll see you guys later! (Assuming you're still alive after watching that video.)

Boob Toob Supplemental: The "Are You Not Entertained" Edition


By Dan Pua

Reggae Slowpoke!

Reggae music and Pokemon... how can you go wrong? Also, I can't believe I'm just now finding out that there's a Pokemon Youtube channel. SUBSCRIBED!



More info from the nice peeps at Kotaku. You can also thank them for that cool ass gif above.


Wu-Tang Clan (and the Youtube user who put this together) Ain't Nuthin' Ta Fuck Wit

Thanks to FB buddy and not too shabby comic creator Frank Candiloro. Too good! After this video and Reggae Slowpoke, it’s all downhill from here (both this blog post and life in general).




Komikero Chronicles trailer

I love them documentaries! And comics! Plus even though I'm from the Philippines, I don't know a whole lot about the history of Philippine art so I'm looking forward to eventually seeing this.




The Flash tv series trailer

The kid looks good as Barry Allen. Looking forward to the new tv show. 




Dracula Untold trailer


It's got a bit of Castlevania in it which isn't bad at all.




Street Fighter xD

For those of you who've been dying to watch Street Fighter characters mess with actual people. You can thank Jon Westhoff.




Wheel of (Mis)Fortune

It pays to learn Greek Mythology.




The Spellbinding Mathematical GIFs Of Dave Whyte

Nothing to do with either boobs or toobs but you know how much I love them gifs. Let me have this one thing! Check them out at this link. Thanks iO9!

Boob Toob Supplemental: ALL THE VIDEOS!


By Dan Pua

Got so many videos, better post this now before I get any more! Prepare yourself for another installment of Dan posts silly videos cos he's bored Boob Toob Supplemental!

You can thank that sicko Bobgar for the gif above.


Understanding Art House: Snowpiercer

Major spoilers if you haven't seen Snowpiercer so please watch that movie first before watching this video. There's a lot to take in during and after the movie and this analysis helps frame things although someone out there has probably done an even more in depth analysis. Watch out for a Snowpiercer review in an upcoming episode of the Boob Toob.




Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist

This is a fan made web series based on a hugely popular video game by Capcom. It apparently got approval from Capcom. At first I wasn't digging it and didn't feel as though the actors were fit to play Ryu and Ken but it ended up being pretty interesting. Although I admit it may not be all that interesting to non-fans. There's a surprise cameo from another Capcom property that I greatly enjoyed.

The link below is episode 00 or 'Alpha' which acts as a prelude but is actually set some time in the future (sorry for the confusion!) when Ryu and Ken are fighting. Episode 1 shows us how it all started and takes it from there. It's a Ryu and Ken story ut also goes into the history of their master, Goken.

There's 12 mini episodes, each being 12 mins or so in length. We found a version where it's just one big movie so that might've helped with our enjoyment. But who knows, maybe others would rather watch it in bite sized chunks.

Check it out if you liked the game from back in the day but maybe not if you didn't care for the game. They're apparently doing a season 2.





Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno trailer

Rebecca is losing her mind right about now.





Walt & Jesse's new gig

Wait... no more drugs? *sad face* Hi Elaine!





Brain loses his %#*! and swears at Pinky

Gotta love Rob Paulsen and Maurice LaMarche but poor Pinky!





Every Sam Jackson MF-er ever

I think I used up my lifetime quota for hearing that word.




Michael Bay's 'UP'

More like 'Blowed UP' am I rite?





Spidey being a jerk while dancing to Psy

Thanks LA Rabbit!

[Updated] The Bet To End All Bets! (probably not though)


By Dan Pua

Some months ago, I don't even remember when, Bobgar and I made a bet over which movie was going to make more money: the movie with the talking apes or the movie with the talking raccoon and tree? Or rather...



Bobgar went with Apes and the Marvel Zombie that I am, I went with GotG. Be sure to listen to our upcoming Boob Toob episode where we discuss these movies with our good friend and fellow Earth 2 Network bro Lawrence Rosales. Thanks by the way to Box Office Mojo since I'll be referring to them for all the figures.

As of Friday, 8 August 2014, 11am Australian Eastern Standard time (some time Thursday evening/night for US peeps) GotG has made $126,759,442 and there's still one day to go in its first week. Apes made $102,952,844 in its first week. GotG also made more monies during the first weekend by ooga chaka-ing itself to $94.3m vs the $72.6m that Apes in its opening weekend. So talking raccoon and tree wins the first weekend and the first week.

But there was another component to the bet. Bobgar predicted that GotG will open big and have a huge drop in its second week. Fair enough, GotG is a bit of an unknown quantity and who wants to watch a superhero sci-fi movie, right? Even I couldn't be sure that this wasn't going to happen.

Apes made $52.7m in its second week, a 48.8% drop from the first week. Not bad. Assuming GotG passes the $130m mark, it will have to drop by about 60% in its second week to match the $52.7m second week haul of Apes. Or 80% (i.e. make about $25m) if it is to match the week 1 and 2 total of Apes ($155.7m).



Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Production budget - $170,000,000
Opening weekend - $72,611,427
Week 1 - $102,952,844
Week 2 - $52,735,785

Guardians of the Galaxy
Production budget - $170,000,000
Opening weekend - $94,320,883
Week 1 - Over $126,759,442 (one day left in the week)
Week 2 - ?

If I remember, I'll update this write up next week with 2nd week figures. In the meantime, check out Bobgar's Koba!



UPDATE: August 18, 2014

GotG has beaten Apes' total domestic haul. GotG has $222.3m while Apes is at $201.8m. GotG earned $63.2m in its second week, a 53% drop but still higher than Apes' $52.7m. So if we're only talking US numbers, looks like I won the bet.

Here's the thing though: Apes is doing really well in foreign markets, having earned $334.8m so far. At the moment, GotG is at $196.4m. So if we're taking those figures into account, Bobgar may have me beat (for now).

While I'm here, check out these failed Apes sequel names. Also Groot and his new shirt!

Fun stuff! Gotta do this again next year. Perhaps we'll bet on...

Boob Toob Supplemental: Ooga chaka edition


Check out that sweet Attack on Titan and Adventure Time mashup by Rodrigo Alexandrino ICO! High res version available here and you can go here to see his process and some close ups. So good!

Less than 6 hours until I see the Guardians of the Galaxy movie so let's knock out another Boob Toob Supplemental!


3D Futurama

Keeping things within the cartoon realm, check out this 3D version of the Futurama opening scene. Looks beautiful, doesn't it?



More info and video/pics here. Thanks to fellow Boober and Toober Wendi Freeman for bringing this to our attention.



No Man's Sky featurette


Short little video on the story of Hello Games, the studio behind upcoming PS4 game No Man's Sky. This game looks and sounds so damn good, I may have to buy a PS4 just for it.




Lupin the Third live action movie trailer

YES! The world's greatest thief, Arsène Lupin III, finally gets a live action adaptation!*



The movie comes out in Japan on August 30 and it's directed by Ryuhei Kitamura who also directed films such as VersusGodzilla: Final Wars and apparently Midnight Meat Train which I've never seen but sounds interesting enough based on the title. He also directed the in game cutscenes for the video game Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes which is a Game Cube remake of the original Playstation game Metal Gear Solid. He's a cool dude.

The movie looks beautiful and I love how the characters look and seem to act a lot like the manga/anime versions of themselves. Fujiko is crazy hot, as she should since her character is a bit of a seductress. Can't wait to see it!

* Ooops, I apologise. Below is the first Lupin the Third live action adaptation.




Talk of the Town

ABC's Australian Story recently did a feature on Aussie singer Megan Washington. She talked about her fear of public speaking and her debilitating stutter. It was really engaging and well done and made me care for this person who I never heard of before (I'm not hip and up to date with what the cool kids listen to). Some info here and the transcript here. No YouTube embed or a link to the video (couldn't find one online) but I thought I'd share anyway.


Birdman trailer

I never understood the term 'batshit insane' until I saw this trailer. No idea what it's about and I don't think I wanna know, I just wanna go in there without knowing any info. Also, aw yeah Keaton being Keaton! And a bunch of other famous peeps are in it too. Bobgar likes Edward Norton and he's in here. Gotta see this movie NOW!



In case you didn't click and watch the trailer, here's some Keaton for ya!


Thanks to Devin Bruce (Doctor Teeth on Twitter and other places) for bringing this to my attention.


BATMETAL!

I accidentally sent this video to my mother. I fail at internetz. Fun video though. Good thing it had subtitles since I wouldn't have been able to understand squat.



Thanks to John at Burnt Weiners for tweeting this.


Artists vs TMNT

That's great and all but where's Vanilla Ice?




TMNT Saturday Morning Slow Jams


Nope, we're not done with the TMNT love just yet. Check it out, son!




Zombeavers trailer

Whuuuuut?



Thanks, ya Comic Bastards! (No, that's not an insult. That's their name! Get off my case!)


Not long now before...

Boob Toob Supplemental: Hooked on a feeling edition!

Fron deviantART member BloodySamoan

Star Wars trailer... Guardians of the Galaxy Style!

Here's a fan edited trailer for the original Star Wars using the Guardians of the Galaxy trailer music. Pretty neat, don't'cha think? I'm soooooo excited for both movies. I hope GotG is great and I hope Luke kicks some ass. Screw that Han Solo and his stupid broken leg!




The Legend of Korra: Book 3 trailer

The best animated series in recent memory is about to return for a 3rd season. CAN. NOT. WAIT!




Incredibox v3

Something different! This one isn't a video (but it can be ‘viewed’ on a computer so it still counts as a Boob Toob), more of an interactive audio experience (and some video if you can unlock the bonus content). Pretty funky, try it out! There’s a v1 and v2 as well with different tunes.

www.incredibox.com/v3


Big Hero 6 trailer

Fun trailer on an upcoming animated movie by Disney which is based on an old Marvel book. Not super old but this was when they were doing the Marvel Manga stuff. The concept may be different, I remember the book featuring 6 heroes. Or at least it seemed that way based on the covers. Maybe this is the Disneyfied version. I love that white blob dude.




Real life version of Kirito's Elucidator from Sword Art Online

Nice work by the guys at Man At Arms for not only creating an awesome real life replica of Kirito's blade from the anime Sword Art Online, but also for this cool ass 'making of' video. Check out their other videos white you're at it, I think I saw Link's sword in there.




Hentai Kamen

Sent in by Billy (a.k.a. Aqualec) although I'm not sure why, it's not like I'm into this weird crap. Nope, not at all...




Ikaruga review

Here's an old one for ya. Greg Kasavin at Gamespot gives a good video review for what is possibly the best shooter ever. Ikaruga was originally released on the Sega Dreamcast and eventually on the Nintendo Gamecube (I owned that one). I just saw it for sale on Steam which prompted me to look up some videos for it. I might have to get it again!

I’ll let the video below explain the game mechanics but for me, the main draw was that it didn't require you to simply avoid enemy fire. If you turn your ship white, you can absorb the white enemy fire and use it to power you up. Same deal with black enemy fire, just turn yourself black. So it’s a totally different play style than, say, Gradius (which I also adore). There’s a ton of depth to this game, most of which you’ll probably only realise once you’ve played it a few times.



The easy mode is challenging but doable. This game can be absolutely brutal though when going up the difficulty levels. You might get to a point where you can finish the levels in the higher difficulties but what’s your score like? Can you chain combos together (hitting 3 enemies of the same colour) or do you just barely make it out alive?

And even if you’re that damn good, are you good enough to handle two ships at once like this bad ass below? He’s getting a crazy amount of combos too. What a legend!



If you like shooters, I can't recommend Ikaruga highly enough.

Boob Toob Supplemental: There's actually some good stuff in here this time... I promise!


It's been a long time, I shouldn't have you... without a dope beat to step to... step to step to step to... Remember that song? No? Ahh it doesn't matter. What I wanted to say is I'm back so strap yourselves in cos you're going for a ride!


JohnnyExpress

Here's a good animated short film by South Korean studio Alfred Imageworks (check out their Vimeo page for some other videos). And by good, I mean Pixar level in terms of animation and also the humour and quirkiness although I admit there's a point in the animated short where things diverge from the usual Pixar fare.

It's about a space delivery man and one of the things that happens when he's out delivering a package. Sooooo funny and I kinda wish they'd do more of it, just him going to different planets and delivering stuff. Oh wait, they already made Futurama.

Anyway, this short film is 5 mins long so please do me a favour and watch it. Especially you, Bobgar!




Project 2501 - Homage to Ghost in the Shell

These guys are taking fan tributes to the next level! As the title suggests, this is a homage to Mamoru Oshii's film, Ghost in the Shell, based on Masamune Shirow's manga of the same name. What they've done is they've recreated the film's opening sequence using a series of still images they've created with a mix of live action and computer generate imagery. Be warned: there is nudity.

Check out Hollywood graphic designer Ash Thorp's website to see the awesome still images they've created plus a list of the people involved. Seriously, go there and check it out cos they're amazing. Well done to Ash Thorp and his team.




Underground Hero Love To Hate Me

Here's a short documentary by director/cinematographer Luke Huxham on a Yakuza member talking about his love of Lamborghinis. If nothing else, check out the fancy Pimp My Ride style Lambos. More info and a "making of" video at The Verge.




X-Men: Days of Future Past interview on The Feed

Mark Fennel interviews Hugh Jackman and Peter Dinklage on The Feed. Funny guys and lots of good stuff in there, such as Patrick Stewart being HUGE in Woolloomooloo. Who knew? Also a detailed description of how Wolverine was able to look all big and veiny. He should change his name to HUGE Jackman.




Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead trailer

Thanks a bunch to Mr Rob Vernson for bringing this to my attention.




Gojira party!

This one is courtesy of Youtube master LA Rabbit.





Bill Murray 4 life

No embeds because I have no idea what kinda Voodoo magic they’re using on the site but check out this article on Deadspin (with video) of Bill Murray crashing a bachelor party and giving some good advice. I hope they invent the Infinity Formula soon and give it to Mr Murray because I want him to be around forever.

Boob Toob Supplemental: 45mins until my long weekend starts


Easter is upon us which means most people here in Australia get a 4 day weekend. If you plan it in advance (as some peeps in my department did) you can have almost 2 weeks off just by taking a few days off work. There's only 3 work days next week because we have Monday off and then Friday (April 25) is Anzac Day. So some people here took 3 days off next week and I won't be seeing them for almost 2 weeks. I'm already taking 2 weeks off at the start of May so I'll be staying put next week. It's all good, at least I get 2 long weekends in a row.

But you didn't come here to hear about my life story, right? You came here for some videos. Let's do this!


Origin of memes

If you ever wanted to know where your favourite memes came from, how's about you leave Britney alone (that's a meme, right?) and check out the video below. I can never ever ever get enough of Star Trek memes.


Japanese intro to the X-Men 90s cartoon

Pretty freaking epic. Thanks to either Billy Z (from Comic Book Bears) or Gerry McDade (the G in GXPod) for alerting me to this. I don’t know which one of them posted it because it was done on Facebook and I don’t know how any of it works. (Get off my back!) But apparently Jon Westhoff (the guy that says “and we’re baaaack” on E2P) originally posted it.

More info on the opening can be found here. I wish they did a whole series in this animation style.

CRY FOR THE MOOOOOOOOON!


Gotta catch... all the Avengers??

More Japanese Marvel goodness! This is the opening to Disk Wars Avengers. It sounds a lot like a mash up Earth's Mightiest Heroes with Pokemon. Thanks to Kross on the 11 O'Clock Comics forum for pointing this out. POKEVENGERS!


360° video made from 6 GoPro cameras

By Vimeo user j0n4s. This is pretty neat, I'd love to try something similar. I've embedded the video below but you'll want to check it out on Vimeo to see the original and better quality version. Mone info on how it was done can be found here (you may want to translate it in English).


4D? I barely have a handle on 3D!

Pretty trippy looking game called Miegakure. I may have to check this out. More info at Kotaku. FYI the 4th dimension is not time.




Shatner kills Shakespeare

Say whaaaat?!? Why would anyone wanna kill Billy Shakespeare? Watch the video below to find out. They used Legos to make it too and you know how popular Legos are these days. 


Speaking of Legos...

Check out these adults who get to play with Legos. That's exactly what I'm gonna do once I retire. Play Legos all day.

Best. Thing. Ever.
