Ok Go's video for the song This Too Shall Pass off their new album Of the Blue Colour of the Sky. My absolute favorite part starts at 2:37 until the end.

Okay that is it. There is only one this week.

Kanye West has redesign his blog, and on it a new music video.


Michael Moloney, a filmmaker, and John Hooper, a photographer, collaborated on this video for If You Could Collaborate. Watch out for the part when they filmed camera flashes on the hillside at about 0:40. [Via Kitsune Noir]

Better Things To Do With Legos

Use your Legos wisely instead of wasting them on some useless and emotionless national building campaign. Look at how Muji does it with the plastic brick maker that had the whole internet buzzing.

Weekly Cool Videos Release Week 46/09

Three great videos this week. Let me start this week with the trailer of the movie based on a book by Christopher Isherwood, A Single Man. Directed by ex-Gucci CD Tom Ford and starring Colin Firth and Julianne Moore.



Immersion: Porn by Robbie Cooper. It is quite interesting to listen and watch people talking about porn and masturbation. It is amazing to see their expressions and actions while watching porn and masturbating. Especially, when you can observe the difference between how the male person and female person does it. One is focused at the porn images while the other is more focused on the masturbatory experience. NSFW. Via Wallpaper*



Something about this Leo Burnett poetic Macdonald's UK ad that is so emotionally good it is just wrong. Via AdFreak.

Inglourious Basterds

No expectation. That is the key to watching any movies nowadays. Even though, I must admit I did have some level of anticipation when I watched Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds two days ago.
