Once upon a time (from the time I first got into Kpop as a teenager, and all through my twenties before popping out my fist kid at the age of 29), I used to stalk the top Kpop tunes on Naver Music and Mnet Chart every week.Before YouTube was a thing — yes, I'm that old — I remember sharing (via burned CDs and Zip drives) and repeatedly watching Kpop music videos with my friends. And man oh man the Korean music videos these days got NOTHING on those classics from the late 90's to early 00's. Who doesn't remember shedding tears over Kiss' "여자이니까" (Because I'm a Girl)? Or calling their mom to tell her "I love you" after watching G.O.D.'s "어머님께" (To My Mother)?And we can't forget...

I confess that I had to look up Uwe Boll, but it all made sense once I realized I'd watched a few of his C movies (when insomnia hits and I'm purposely looking to watch bad movies)!Via Blame It on the Voices....

Warning: some of these are NSFW. But the creativity and technique of photographer Edy Hardjo are well worth a look…especially if you’re into the Marvel and DC superhero-verse. Enjoy!
In celebration of the release of the live action film Cinderella, Disney has enlisted 9 global luxury shoe designers to create their own interpretation of the iconic glass slipper. Take a look!
Paul Andrew:
“Cinderella’s glass slipper represents every woman’s dream shoe. The story, being a classic, inspired me to use my iconic pointed toe silhouette, which I embellished with an array of hand encrusted Swarovski crystals to create the ultimate fantasy shoe. I used transparent PVC to create a ‘glass’ effect and ivory suede for luxurious texture and dimension.”
Alexandre Birman:
“My vision of the glass slipper was inspired by the timeless and feminine beauty that I believe Cinderella and the Alexandre Birman brand both share. I reinterpreted our classic Johanna pump, this time giving it a fashionable and romantic twist with satin and Swarovski crystals. It’s a shoe I imagine a modern princess would wear.”
René Caovilla:
“‘Works of arts called shoes’ to grant wishes and raise emotions. Passion and never ending research don’t draw the line at fantasy and creativity. This is how dreams come true in our fairy tale.”
Presented to you by the 2nd Annual RIPTcademy Awards. I would totally watch some of these; The Grand Arkham Asylum looks especially badass! And Quailman? I used to love the show Doug!

YOU. GUYS.
You’re probably aware of the fact that both the Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies were made by the same production company, Lucasfilm.
And you have to know that Han Solo and Indiana Jones were played by the same actor, Harrison Ford. (Right?)
So what if they could meet?!???
“Into the Great Unknown” is a 10-page non-canon comic story that was included in the comic book Star Wars Tales 19 in 2004. It serves more as a fanboy fantasy than a serious addition to either Star Wars or Indiana Jones worlds, but it truly is mind-boggling and leaves one almost wishing it were true.
(Almost. Without giving anything away, something big happens in the storyline with which most Star Wars fans have a big problem.)

Thanks to the expansive trove of treasures offered by Netflix, I have been introduced to various cable shows I would have never watched otherwise. I've gone through almost all of USA Network's original programming (some of the best cable shows out there!), and now I've moved onto Syfy TV with the likes of Z Nation and Haven. There was an episode of Haven last season in which a relatively unknown cover of an old song served to heighten the emotionally bittersweet conclusion. The song and the scene continued to play in my mind for days on end, so I did what any nincompoop would do and looked it up online. I present to you: "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" by Sweet Talk Radio. Isn't it hauntingly beautiful? Months...

This past week was a big one for us Star Wars nerds fans. Even if you're not into the greatest sci-fi franchise ever created, you may have heard about a certain comic book already breaking records before its official release date. ;-) That's right — Marvel's Star Wars #1 was released on January 14th, 2015! Did you know that these days, major comic book releases almost always include different cover variants? And that there exist illustrators who make their living just from doing comic book cover variants? So with Star Wars being such a popular franchise — and because Marvel's acquisition of the comic book rights is such a big damn deal (previous Star Wars comics were published under Dark Horse) — it seemed that every major variant artist, comic book store chain, distributor,...

Korean artist Na Young Wu has recently unveiled a series of illustrations which combines well-known western fairy tales with the Korean manhwa (the equivalent of manga in Korean) as well as the traditional Korean drawing style! They’re quite stunning, to say the least.
