“The Future”, the latest music video by The Limousines, is filled with catchy hooks, DeLoreans, and disturbingly morbid endings. Sort of Back To the Future meets No Country For Old Men. “The Future”, which focuses it’s eye on how things end, eventually led to the band’s choice to leave their label:

We left the label. Gave it a year and weren’t happy so we left. They said no to the video so we made it with our own money and no help from them.

In case you missed it before, be sure to check out their fantastic video for Internet Killed The Video Star.

Here’s the new video for Stoop Sale by MC Frontalot from his album Solved. The video was directed by Max Isaacson and features an awesome puppet version of MC Frontalot on a wonderful hand-made Brooklyn set.

Call him Pavel Puhov, P-183, “Pavel 183″ or, as happens frequently these days, “the Russian Banksy” (as Russia’s RT News do here). By whatever name, he makes inventive, ambitious street art that often has a sharp political point.

The Moscow-based graffiti and street artist has operated for more than a decade, and is reportedly about 30 years old.

Whether adding real fire to a large-scale graffiti portrait of a protestor, installing life-sized decals of riot police to subway station doors so commuters pushing past also undermine their potency, or something more whimsical like his giant-scale candy bars replicas, Pavel’s most exciting work tends to bust its way out of 2 dimensions into 3-D. Recently he’s worked a lot in public projections, like this one featuring the iconic Afghan girl photo from National Geographic:

You can find more of his work and an interview in Russian here.

The chocolate bar is Alenka, an iconic brand in Russia, one of few that survived from Soviet times to present day.

Max Landis (son of John Landis) poured himself a drink and then began ranting about the storyline of Superman in The Death and Return of Superman. As he rants, actors reenact the history of Superman in live-action sequences. Look for appearances by Simon Pegg, Ron Howard, Chris Hardwick, Elijah Wood and Mandy Moore in this film produced by Bryan Basham. It’s sort of a drunk history of Superman, even though Landis says he is not drunk in the video.

A somewhat-mostly-accurate educational parody film by Max Landis…

I’m not drunk in the video, I only get about three cups in. The original rant was 45 minutes long, so of course we had to cut a bunch of stuff out for time, and because it was just too stupid. Like for instance the part where Pa Kent dies of a heart attack and literally GOES TO HEAVEN. AND SEES SUPERMAN.

If I saw this video, I might nerd rage out so hard. But luckily I made it, so I’m pretty happy. Really I’d hope people just are with me, and happy that Guy Gardner and Bloodwynd get to be in a movie.

Hanksy, the street artist who creates Tom Hanks-themed parodies of Banksy street art, was recently interviewed by EA Hanks of The Awl who happens to be Tom Hanks’ daughter. We’ve written previously about Hanksy’s work.

EA: Regarding your work, Tom Hanks sends the message, “I don’t know who Hanksy is, but I enjoy his (her?) comments via the semi-chaos of artistic expression.” Do you know if Banksy knows as well?

Hanksy: There has been word, from mouths that have some credentials to back it up, that he has seen the work, is following it, and completely encourages it.

In this microscopic video by University of Cambridge researchers, a killer T cell from the immune system attacks a cancer cell.

Cells of the immune system protect the body against pathogens. If cells in our bodies are infected by viruses, or become cancerous, then killer cells of the immune system identify and destroy the affected cells. Cytotoxic T cells are very precise and efficient killers. They are able to destroy infected or cancerous cells, without destroying healthy cells surrounding them.

Pro-renewable energy company, Ecotricity, wants you to “dump the big six” and move towards “clean forms of power like wind, solar, wave & green gas.” The Big Six they are referring to are Britain’s (controversial) energy companies: EDF, Centrica (British Gas), Eon, RWE Npower, Scottish Power and Southern & Scottish Energy. To make a point, Ecotricity created this compilation film, Collapsing Cooling Towers, which shows several anthropomorphic towers looking quite surprised at their sudden demise.

It’s time to move on. Our country, and all of us, need to move from a fossil fuel past to a renewable energy future.

The mood in Britain has turned very much against the Big Six energy companies. And it’s not hard to see why. People are fed up with the unethical pricing, complex tariffs, awful customer service and the dire lack of investment in new sources of green energy.

It’s become quite unbearable, self evidently. Even the government are calling on people to leave the Big Six.

People:Power can bring change to the energy sector — when people join Ecotricity they vote with their energy bills – and the more that do so the better. Together we can harness the energy bills of Britain and direct them to a proper outcome – the creation of a Green, energy independent Britain — a Green Britain.
