Daily Tea Calendar

Tea Calendar 1

A German Company is giving out these “Tea Calendars” to “selected business partners” so this isn ‘t available for sale…at least not yet. The brilliant idea allows a person to tear off the day-a unique flavor of pressed tea leaves- and steep the day/tea leaves in boiling water to enjoy a nice cup of hot tea. I’m assuming this won’t go public until someone can figure out how to keep completely unprotected tea leaves fresh for an entire year (let a lone a few weeks). Either way, the idea is cool.

Best School Ad Ever

UEA School Ad

Matt Smith’s alma mater, University of East Anglia, has a clever new advertising campaign.

Are you more interested in the fact the University has 2 Nobel Prize Winners or 1 Time Lord? That’s what I thought.

Misheard Song Lyrics 90s Edition

Most seem far-fetched, but if you read while singing it will start sounding like that’s what they are saying.

Justice Family Pictures

Justice Family Pictures 1

Superheroes and kids aren’t normally paired together. Sure, kids love superheroes but do superheroes really care for kids? According to artist B Clan they do.

B Clan created this series of Justice Families featuring a number of DC heroes holding the hands of their children. They are all adorable photos, however the Green Lantern picture seems awfully depressing.

Daily Movie Update!

dmu

Hey everyone, first up for today’s update is WB’s latest look at Man of Steel which looks fantastic, much like the other promotional materials released as of late. This one is a bit more villain focused and gives us a better look at the threat involved with the film, probably focusing more on the final act of the film. Doesn’t the scale of this film look incredible? It really does seem like a scenario worthy of Superman’s abilities, and this latest look at Zod and some of the other villains have gotten me quite a bit more excited.

It’s not as awe inspiring as the last trailer, but I think it’s the final piece in properly getting me pumped up for the film. At this point, the 20 + day wait is way too long. I never thought I’d be this excited for a Superman film, yet here I am, wishing the film would just be out tomorrow at this point.

Also released yesterday is the second trailer for The Wolverine starring Hugh Jackman. The trailer features a lot of the same stuff as the first one, but there’s also more Jean Grey visions and a not so great first look at the Silver Samurai who looks mechanical? What? Kinda confused, maybe I don’t remember the Silver Samurai very well.

All in all, it is edited into something a bit more exciting and it looks like Wolverine looks pretty well and truly unleashed in this one, so that’s good. However, I’m just not feeling much excitement for this one at all. And considering it’s the last of the three comic book movies of the Summer, it’s got a lot to prove that it can hang around with the relative big boys. But I do think James Mangold is a solid director, and I would like to think that the producers and crew realized where they erred with X-Men Origins, but we’ll see.

Is it possible that Disney and co. are setting their sights on one of their first male leads for the new Star Wars trilogies beyond the original cast? Latino Review is reporting that Jonathan Rhys Meyers may be in talks to join the series. It might not be so crazy after all as the source cites his relationship with J.J. Abrams after having worked with him in Mission: Impossible III. I could see it, it’s not like Star Wars is known for casting big names, it’s more about the story, so it’s not like an A lister is required for the series.

One thing though is that Rhys Meyers has had his fair share of personal issues lately and he’s also on a TV show (Dracula on NBC) which may or may not interfere with his schedule. Who am I kidding? It’s on NBC, of course it’ll be canceled after one season. Still, possibly a rumor to keep an eye out on, though Latino Review seems to have gotten quite a bit wrong lately despite occasionally landing some really good tidbits.

Cronut (Croissant and Donut Crossover)

Cronut Croissant and donut Cross

 

Cronuts look amazing. This is apparently the love child of a donut and croissant after a long hot night in the fryer. Take that buttery layered goodness of a delicate croissant, cut it into donut form and fry just as you would a raised donut to get this successful take on two delicious deserts.
