DEN OF GEEK CRITICS PICKS
Django Unchained
The second of Quentin Tarantino’s revisionist history lessons, Django Unchained is a provocative, post-modern Western film that mixes the widescreen sensibilities of Sergio Leone with Tarantino’s own gonzo impulses to create something hyper-violent, subversively funny, and more than a bit uncomfortable. Jamie Foxx stars as a slave freed by a German bounty hunter played by Christoph Waltz. Waltz won an Oscar for his performance as the kind German that takes in the stoic but savvy Django as his partner. Together, they travel the pre-Civil War South, killing slavers and savage men. Eventually, they embark on a more personal mission, as Django intends to free his beloved wife from a sadistic plantation owner played by a scenery-chewing Leonardo DiCaprio. With anachronistic needle-drops, hands-over-eyes horrors, and more blood than a donation bank, Django Unchained is an epic, entertaining revenge fantasy for the ages.
Silver Linings Playbook
From director David O. Russell, Silver Linings Playbook is a screwball romantic comedy for the modern age. Despite inviting, yet livewire lead performances from Jennifer Lawerence and Bradley Cooper, Silver Linings Playbook really shines as an ensemble: Robert DeNiro, Jackie Weaver, Chris Tucker and Anupam Kher bring fully-realized characters to life in just a handful of scenes. Based on Matthew Quick’s novel of the same name, Silver Linings Playbook finds Bradley Cooper as a man who has been released from a psychiatric hospital a bit too soon. He’s frantically trying to prove that he’s bettered himself in an effort to win back his wife, but when he meets the equally unstable and filterless character played by Jennifer Lawerence, unusual sparks fly. Combining the familiar tropes of a sports film with unorthodox romantic leads, Silver Linings Playbook is a crowd-pleasing watch that creates harmony out of dysfunction.
Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations
It never mattered where Anthony Bourdain was going, we just wanted to be along for the ride. We lost the soulful, iconoclastic bad-boy of the culinary world far too soon, but he left behind a treasure trove of rewarding travelogues that tackled culture, social dynamics, and most importantly, food. Whether he was weighing in on a world-famous culinary hotspot or peeling back the curtain on a hole-in-wall gem, Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations was always thoughtful, fearless, and never less than authentic. It’s the rare show that is as educational as it is entertaining, hosted by a candid host who knew how to travel, knew where to eat, but most crucially, knew how to connect with people. Reality TV doesn’t get realer than this.
Halloween III: Season of the Witch
Following the mind-boggling success of the original Halloween, director John Carpenter had a clever idea. Instead of churning out sequels starring Michael Meyers, Halloween would become an anthology series, with each new film telling a spooky tale centered on the October holiday. The concept was inevitably scrapped, but Halloween III: Season of the Witch suggests that maybe Carpenter and co. should have stuck to their guns. Taking inspiration from Invasion of the Body Snatchers and working off a concept that Carpenter described as “witchcraft meets the computer age,” Halloween III: Season of the Witch finds a doctor and the daughter of a toy maker trying to uncover the horrifying truth behind the town of Santa Mara, home to Silver Shamrock, the world’s largest manufacturer of Halloween masks. Intelligent, surprising, and disturbing, Halloween III: Season of the Witch is due for a critical reevaluation that heralds it as one of the most ambitious horror movies of the ‘80s
Clerks II
With the recent announcement that Clerks III has started production, it’s the perfect time to revisit Kevin Smith’s first-sequel to his independent film phenomenon, Clerks. Clerks II picks up with our titular clerks Dante and Randall 10 years after the events of the first film. The Quick Stop has gone up in flames and been replaced with a Mooby’s fast food restaurant. Dante and Randall toil the day away with their sheltered co-worker Elias and too-cool for minimum wage manager Becky. While the film tackles adult male friendships and middle age complacency, it’s main appeal is still sitting around, shooting the shit with your pals and listening to their expletive-filled rants about Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, or whatever pop culture fascination that they’re hung up on. Come for the surprisingly poignant story about Dante deciding to leave his friend behind, stay for Jay, Silent Bob, and a donkey.

Actor Miles Teller Says, Top Gun 2 Uses No Green Screen
Actor Miles Teller shared the shots in the movie Top Gun: Maverick. He said that the film did not use the green screen.
Top Gun: Maverick is an upcoming action drama movie directed by Joseph Kosinski. Eric Warren Singer, Ehren Kruger, and Christopher McQuarrie wrote the screenplay of the film. Peter Craig and Justin Marks developed the story while characters were based on Jim Cash and Jack Epps Jr.’s characters. It stars Miles Teller, Tom Cruise, Jon Hamm, Jennifer Connelly, Lewis Pullman, Val Kilmer, and Ed Harris.
The movie is scheduled to be released theatrically on 2 July 2021 in the United States. It was initially planned to be released on 12 July 2019, but due to some complexities, the release date got postponed and delayed further for the coronavirus pandemic. Top Gun: Maverick is a long-awaited Cruise movie. The film’s plot follows Pete “Maverick” Mitchell keeps pushing the envelope as one of the top aviators of the Navy. He soon confronts the past when training a new squad for an ultimate mission. The character Maverick is played by Cruise, Miles Teller is featured as Lieutenant Bradley Rooster, and Jennifer Connelly played the character of Penny Benjamin, Maverick’s love interest.
In a recent interview with Men’s Journal, Teller shared that the team did not use any green screen to shoot the Top Gun movie. He added that every stunt and every shot result from the real sweat and real work that the whole team has put into. Miles’ character is the son of the former wingman Nick “Goose” Bradshaw, who died in the previous film. Rooster is following the footsteps of his late father and is also newly hired in the Topgun program.
The actor further said that the film took a year to complete the shooting, and it was the longest film scheduled that Teller has ever been a part of.
Miles Alexander Teller is an American actor known for his film, Whiplash, Thank You for Your Service, The Spectacular Now, Bleed for This, and The Divergent Series. He appeared in many short films after completing his graduation from Tisch School of the Arts and his debut with the film Rabbit Hole. The actor received many nominations for the BAFTA Rising Star Award, the Satellite Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture, and the Gotham Independent Film Award for Best Actor. Teller won the Special Jury Prize for Dramatic Acting at the Sundance Film Festival for The Spectacular Now and Ensemble Award at the CinemaCon Award for Fantastic Four.
In today’s cinema, the green screen and blue screen technology are widely used to create amazing special effects. The technology is commonly used in science fiction or fantasy films/ TV shows. It is very cost and time friendly to create a fantastical world. However, actor Tom Cruise is known for his stunts and daring performance. He believes in keeping things real and surprises his fans and the film industry with his wild stunts in films like Mission: Impossible. The actor insanely hanged on the side of the plane during take-off in one of his action sequences. He also strictly against using stunt artists for his part.
Cruise knew that the aerial sequence in the film is very demanding, and hence he made arrangements for his co-stars to undergo the flight training. During a conversation with Empire Magazine, Teller shared that it compresses the spine and skull when pulling the massive G’s. It makes some even insane. And some cannot even handle it. He could not have the people sick the whole time.
The award-winning actor shared three months of training before starting shooting for the movie Top Gun: Maverick. He started his practice in Cessna and then moved on to the L-39 Albatros, a jet trainer aircraft. After that, he got the chance to fly F-18 to build tolerance for extreme G-force. Later he took some breathing practice techniques.
The actor’s shot inside the aircraft F-14s in the Top Gun has been taken on a gimbal. Cruise has flown a helicopter and a P-51 for real in a movie sequence. With the latest details of not using any kind of green screen for the shoot in Top Gun: Maverick, fans are even more excited for the film to release. Hopefully, soon the team will share some more details and posters of the project.
Eva winget is a Microsoft Office expert and has been working in the technical industry since 2006. As a technical expert, Bella has written technical blogs, manuals, white papers, and reviews for many websites.

Just throwing this out there
I want a fic where Buck and Maddie has three older overprotective! Navy!SEAL brothers(Think Steve McGarrett, Jason Hayes and that Bradley Cooper character in that biopic). Buck wanted to follow their footsteps them that’s why he tried joining the SEALs before he became a firefighter. They were glad Buck decided not to join though because while they love their jobs they don’t want to subject their innocent (in their eyes) little brother to the horrors they see everyday in their jobs. Plus Evan is soft, that’s what they like about him, while they are the hardened souls, Evan is like the remaining light in their lives. He’s the only one that remained relatively untouched by darkness.
They were all in covert mission when what happened with Doug happened but if Doug were alive when they returned stateside they would have thrown that guy in a hole and torture him for like years until he begged to die. But they won’t kill him they like him to suffer for all the things he put Maddie through.
Then of course they learned about Eddie, the ex-Army boyfriend of their baby bro. He’s Army so that already that put him in the negative light with them already plus they of course don’t think any one would be good for him. Not that old lady Abby, or that earthquake girl Ali and certainly not this this Eddie Diaz, though they concede that the man has the cutest kid, Christopher.

Ready or Not (2019) : There’s No Crying in Hide and Seek!
When I first saw the coming attractions for Ready or Not, I felt it was the perfect mix of a classic Twilight Zone concept and the modern “hunter be hunted” genre of film popularized by The Purge and You’re Next. I thought I had Ready or Not’s card pulled before the movie even started, but directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett played a very different game from the one I was expecting.
The premise for the movie is quite simple: Newly-wed bride Grace Le Domas (Samara Weaving) must play a game on the night of her wedding in order to be accepted by her new family, only to find that these 1 percenters must kill her before sunrise in order to hold up their end of a bargain made with none other than the devil himself. As I said, the movie has a really simple concept, and one that’s honestly fleshed out pretty well in the trailers (most trailers now a days give up too much info anyway), so I went into it feeling like I had a solid grasp on what I was in for. Despite this, I was really excited to see Weaving fight her way through the family members, taking them out 1 by 1! Besides, for the most part, horror movies tend not to disappoint when it comes to their final girls.
Weaving first caught my attention with her starring role as murderous Satanic babysitter (oh, how the tables have turned) in 2017’s The Babysitter. I felt that movie would not have been tolerable if not for Weaving and co-star Judah Lewis as Cole, as the rest of the cast was made up of characters I couldn’t wait to see killed off. Weaving has a charm and wittiness to her, playing Grace as genuinely as possible once you consider her predicament, and her comedic timing plays really well in this movie. I also enjoyed Mark O’Brien’s portrayal of Grace’s new husband Alex Le Domas, and the way his character sat in contrast to Adam Brody’s Daniel Le Domas. Beside’s Grace, I feel Daniel has the best character arc in the movie and I really must say that, as much as I’ve never really like Adam Brody in any of his other roles (does he just play the role of insufferable jerk that well?!), he does a great job here playing a very conflicted character. The rest of the Le Domas clan is rounded out by Henry Czerny as father Tony, Andie McDowell as mom Becky, Nicky Guadagni as the hysterically menacing Aunt Helene, Melanie Scrofano and Elyse Levesque as sisters Emilie and Charity and finally brother in law Fitch Bradley played by Kristian Bruun.
Thankfully, for a movie about a murderous game of Hide and Seek, the tone leans more towards black comedy than gritty horror. The movie really doesn’t take itself too seriously, giving Weaving plenty of room to kick, scream and curse up a storm any time she’s shot at or left screaming for help on the side of the road. By the end of the movie she’s left communicating in a series of grunts and growls, but what would you expect from someone who’s had a wedding night as rough as hers? Aunt Helene and Fitch also work as great comedic relief, one looking like a real life Roz from Monster’s Inc, the other looking like a distant relative of Otho from Beetlejuice.
Being rated R, the movie does have a good deal of blood and gore. There’s a running joke each time a member of the staff is accidentally killed, and the last 10 minutes reminded me of the Blood Rave in Blade. One scene in particular had me cringing, as Grace must pull her way out of a pit of decaying goat carcasses, only to slam her hand down on a nail at the last minute. Don’t worry though-there’s a hole in her hand that fits that nail perfectly! Despite this though, the movie spends way more time on the Deal with the Devil storyline than the 1 on 1 kills I was hoping for. Between the previews for the movie and the hints littered throughout the opening scene, it’s pretty obvious the souls and fortune of the Le Domas family are at stake, making it feel redundant when we keep going back to arguments about what will happen if Grace isn’t killed before sunrise.
Though I would have loved to see Grace go full Rambo on the family, it wouldn’t have felt right for the character that the script (written by Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy) presents to us. In You’re Next, the character of Erin (Sharni Vinson) was raised in a survivalist commune, so it makes sense for her to use that upbringing to fight her way out of her situation. Grace, however, is completely out of her element. She’s simply trying to make it out alive and pushing herself to do so without the usual flash of an action star. This isn’t to say Grace isn’t a badass in her own right, but there are no cool one-liners here, safe for the very end, to make the character feel larger than life.
2019s Ready or Not turned out to be much different from what I expected, but I still had a really fun time watching it! Admittedly, I do feel like I spent some time waiting for it to pick up a bit. It would have benefitted from less time spent explained the overarching Satanic backstory and more moments like the goat pit scene. That being said, there is plenty of humor to keep you engaged, a few moments that will have you wincing in pain right along with Weaving, a surprising amount of emotion thanks to Brody’s character and (by the end) plenty of blood! If you go into this movie with an open mind, Ready or Not will be way more fun than you’d think, and more fun still than trying to figure out what the hell kind of game Old Maid is!
Rating: 3.5 Full Moons out of 5 🌕🌕🌕🌗

Spider-Man: No Way Home
Spider-Man: No Way Home, the new movie from Jon Watts, is out today.
For the first time in the cinematic history of Spider-Man, our friendly neighborhood hero’s identity is revealed, bringing his Super Hero responsibilities into conflict with his normal life and putting those he cares about most at risk. When he enlists Doctor Strange’s help to restore his secret, the spell tears a hole in their world, releasing the most powerful villains who’ve ever fought a Spider-Man in any universe. Now, Peter will have to overcome his greatest challenge yet, which will not only forever alter his own future but the future of the Multiverse.
Nightmare Alley
Nightmare Alley, the new movie from Guillermo del Toro, is out today.
In NIGHTMARE ALLEY, an ambitious carny (Bradley Cooper) with a talent for manipulating people with a few well-chosen words hooks up with a female psychiatrist (Cate Blanchett) who is even more dangerous than he is.
The Tender Bar
The Tender Bar, the new movie from George Clooney, is out today.
The Tender Bar tells the story of J.R. (Sheridan), a fatherless boy growing up in the glow of a bar where the bartender, his Uncle Charlie (Affleck), is the sharpest and most colorful of an assortment of quirky and demonstrative father figures. As the boy’s determined mother (Rabe) struggles to provide her son with opportunities denied to her — and leave the dilapidated home of her outrageous if begrudgingly supportive father (Christopher Lloyd) — J.R. begins to gamely, if not always gracefully, pursue his romantic and professional dreams — with one foot persistently placed in Uncle Charlie’s bar.
Swan Song
Swan Song, the new movie from Benjamin Cleary, is out today.
Set in the near future, Swan Song is a powerful, emotional journey told through the eyes of Cameron (Mahershala Ali), a loving husband and father diagnosed with a terminal illness who is presented with an alternative solution by his doctor (Glenn Close) to shield his family from grief. As Cam grapples with whether or not to alter his family’s fate, he learns more about life and love than he ever imagined. Swan Song explores how far we will go, and how much we’re willing to sacrifice, to make a happier life for the people we love.
Fortress
Fortress, the new movie from James Cullen Bressack, is out today.
In this dazzling action cyber-thriller, Bruce Willis (Pulp Fiction) plays Robert, a retired CIA agent living at a secret resort in the woods. One day, his estranged son drives to the camp for a visit — but he’s followed by Robert’s old nemesis, Balzary (Chad Michael Murray, “One Tree Hill”). As the site is besieged by Balzary’s attack squad, father and son retreat to a high-tech bunker. But are its steel walls and advanced weapons powerful enough to match Balzary’s bloodthirsty plans for revenge?

A queer college freshman joins her university’s rowing team and undertakes an obsessive physical and psychological journey to make it to the top varsity boat, no matter the cost.

Avengers Infinity War Review Part 2 - Can i die too ?
“Avengers: Infinity War”
C-
Rated PG-13
At the end of the 149-minute “Avengers: Infinity War,” all I felt was numb. There was no room for sadness for the fates some characters faced, especially since capitalism has made these superheroes its deathless slaves. Plus, too many of these Marvel Cinematic Universe characters were given too short shrift to begin with. You can also say, some of them are there just to look like they have a purpose, but they don’t.
In a nutshell, Thanos (a giant CG Josh Brolin with that pumpkin-pleated chin), who is boring and tedious like much of the film, is still after the Infinity Stones, which he sets in a gauntlet on his left arm. When he has collected all six stones, Thanos will have the power to wipe out 50 percent of life in the universe (just 50 percent?), in addition to making me lose my will to live. This is by far the biggest mass kill on screen, people complained when 2013 “Man of Steel” crushed a few building due to Zod’s attempt to make Earth the new Krypton. The % of deaths was quickly minimalized when Clark snapped his neck and saved around 6 billion people, where Avengers and Guardians, a whole of 67 plus characters failed to remove one bedazzled glove with 6 girly stones from one man’s arm due to one of their team members being a bit stupid to say the least and let half the universe die, so let me repeat. If the universe as we know it has an infinite number of planets and living beings, this one pink moron just killed every 2nd person by snapping his fingers. However every 2nd person means that Captain America, Iron Man, Thor and pretty much the original cast isnt every 2nd man in the universe, they are the all white led male cast of the Avengers, so they are every 1st man. So long Black Panther, you came like Obama and disapered as soon as the Trump of the universe snapped.
The film begins in space, where Thanos and his minions, including Ebony Maw, a noseless henchman resembling Voldemort, have defeated the Asgardian fleet and captured Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Loki (Tom Hiddleston). The action shifts to New York City, where Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) has been jogging with Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), and Thanos’ minions attack Dr. Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) in Greenwich Village in order to steal the stone he possesses. In this opening you see Thanos going through Thor like he is milk, Hulk gets bitch slapped so hard, that he never comes back in the movie, this set a certain expectation of a power level, which then gets washed away later when specific characters are able to stand with him toe to toe, no powers or anything special, just kicking him in the face. How fucking cool and conviniet for the plot.
Ditto for Vision (Paul Bettany) and his lover Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), who are in Scotland when Thanos’ killers show up (we will also go to Titan and a place called Knowhere). Eventually, Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and the other Guardians of the Galaxy, and Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) and the army of Wakanda, where we last visited in January, will join the fray. In this scene Black Widow and Pigeon [played by Anthonie Mackie] get to kick some alien ass with their super powered punches, which we all know are regular human punches, but somehow these being that have hard time beating Vision, have issues with the humans. Where is the sense ? Nowhere again
Penned by writing partners Christopher Marcus and Stephen McFeely (“Captain America: Civil War”) and directed by Anthony and Joe Russo (“Captain America: Civil War”), “Avengers: Infinity War” is an almost endless cycle of five pages of dialogue, complete with amusing quips (“New haircut?” “Nice beard?”), followed by 10 minutes of superhero, green-screen mayhem. Where the universe just lost half of its population, we have mother fucking heroes calling each other morons, turds, eating snacks, playing games, having turd contests and these are the heroes eventually that lose this fight and have us killed. What a bunch of A holes.
Iron Man and pop-culture buff Spider-Man (Tom Holland) have some amusing interplay. But not even such scene stealers as Letitia Wright as T’Challa’s scientist sister Shuri or Peter Dinklage as the giant dwarf Eitri can make much of a mark in this super-overcrowded field. Dr. Strange’s mischievous cape has more personality than many superheroes.
“Avengers: Infinity War” may aspire to the mythic heights of “The Lord of the Rings” films. But it lacks the grandeur and resonance of Tolkien’s tales. Giant buzz saws just don’t have the stature of giant armored Oliphaunts. And if the Hulk won’t play, even Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) is a wimpy drag. Hulk seems like he can get his ass handed to him even by Batman at this stage.
Yes, it is funny when Thor calls Rocket Raccoon (voiced by Bradley Cooper) “Rabbit” and when Stark calls Dr. Strange “Wizard.” But after two and half hours with a fanboy and fangirl audience cackling mindlessly at the tiniest morsels of amusement accompanied by the pounding “Ragna-rock” score by Alan Silvestri, I was ready to be annihilated myself. Thats when you start to appreciate DC FIlms where music scores are still being elevated, unlike MCU movies where this is a jerk off challenge.
(“Avengers: Infinity War” contains CG mayhem, superhero violence and torture.)

35 things to inspire you during your 2019 self-love sessions
May is National Masturbation Month, and we're celebrating with Feeling Yourself, a series exploring the finer points of self-pleasure.
So far, 2019 hasn't been a particularly sexy year.
When you think about, we've all had to watch a lot of straight-up nonsense go down. Green Book won the Oscar for Best Picture, Jeff Bezos' "sexts" leaked, and Sonic the Hedgehog got a full set of human teeth, for goodness sake. Gross!
A bunch of this year's pop culture moments have been genuinely disappointing, but we're not going to let that harsh our self-love vibes. From sexy fashion statements and television characters, to memes and music, 2019 has definitely given us some glorious moments worthy of recalling during the act of self-pleasure.
If you find yourself in need of some masturbation inspiration, here are 35 ~very 2019~ things to think about.
1. Chris Evans' teal velvet pants: Christopher Robert Evans had the absolute audacity to show up to an Avengers: Endgame press event in April wearing teal velvet pants. The trousers looked as though they were hand-crafted by an angelic seamstresses in the clouds and came with the equally stunning teal velvet suit jacket Evans wore to the Oscars earlier this year. We're all blessed that his stylist, Ilaria Urbinati, firmly believes you should "never let a great pair of trousers go to waste."

2. America's ass: While we're on the topic of Chris Evans' pants, let's get another inevitable Chris-related 2019 thirst trap out of the way. Feel free to think of the real star of Avengers: Endgame — America's ass — whenever you need a dose of dayummmm. 🇺🇸🍑
3. "Old Town Road": There are many subject-appropriate songs out there to get off to, but if you're looking to switch things up a bit, consider listening to the 2019 anthems, "Old Town Road" and the remix, for inspiration.
4. The possibility of eliminating student debt: This year, Elizabeth Warren announced her plans to cancel student debt and eliminate college tuition for future students, and honestly? Just the thought of having your ridiculously high student debt forgiven is *tingles* exciting.
5. The new Staples logo: People got seriously amped when that little staple unfolded. So... strong.

6. The Jonas Brothers reunion AND the introduction of the Jonas Sisters: One of the world's most popular boy bands — a band of literal biological brothers — reunited in 2019, and that alone is reason enough for everyone to be "Burnin' Up." But with the reunion also came the introduction of the fierce female trio, the Jonas Sisters (aka Sophie Turner, Priyanka Chopra, and Danielle Jonas). 🔥
7. The black hole: The world saw the first recorded image of a black hole in 2019, and I guess it's kind of hot, right? It is described as "supermassive," so. Hey.
8. The possible return of Wendy's Spicy Chicken Nuggets: Can you think of a thought spicer than imagining the possible return of Wendy's Spicy Chicken Nuggets? There aren't many.
9. The thought of the L train being functional: Governor Andrew Cuomo is confident that limiting service of the extraordinarily popular L train for a year will be in the city's best interest, but in the mean time New Yorkers are living a fresh new subway hell. Stay strong, people. And if necessary, after a long-ass day of commuting, feel free to envision a beautiful, fully functioning L train in the sack.
10. Jauz's "Baby Shark" remix: I think the Coachella track really speaks for itself doo doo doo doo doo doo.
11. KFC's hot new Colonel Sanders: KFC isn't simply in the business of making people hungry for chicken anymore. Now they're interested in making people thirst for their hot new Colonel Sanders. (It's working?)
12. The thought of sexting with a robot: Mashable Staff Writer Jess Joho sexted with a bot, and you can too. Turns out it's surprisingly hot.
13. The Night King: Listen, he wasn't very nice. He's also dead now. But in his glory days the Night King could get it.
14. The Hulk's junk: Ever wonder if the Hulk can have sex? There's a lot to unpack. Consider doing so next time you get down with yourself, because, why not?
15. David's dance on Schitt's Creek: David and Patrick's relationship is one of the best on television, and while David's dance to Tina Turner's "The Best" is sweet enough to make you ugly cry, it's also sexy as hell and impossible to watch without getting chills. (The same argument can be made for the scene where Patrick sings "The Best" to David.)
youtube
16. Literally any moment from the 2 hours and 17 minutes of Beyoncé's Homecoming: The performance is the definition of flawless and we are barely worthy of such brilliance.
17. The Burn This poster: The poster for the Broadway revival of Lanford Wilson's Burn This is haaaaawt. It features Adam Driver and Keri Russell lookin' gorg, just chillin' horizontal on a couch all dreamy and idyllic and shit. See for yourself.
18. This sand art replica of Dwayne Johnson's face: You might not initially think a video of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's head being assembled from sand is the stuff to inspire hot thoughts, which is understandable, but if you never try you'll never know, right?
19. Bowsette: The fan-created character that mashes Bowser and Princess Peach together was dismissed by Nintendo this year, but that doesn't stop people from lusting over NSFW Bowsette art online.
20. This extremely long dongle: Major BDE (Big Dongle Energy) coming from this one. Who can ignore?
This is one long dongle #io19 pic.twitter.com/OtNf1fsdDK

21. The moment Captain America wielded Thor's hammer: Yes, we've already gave a nod to Chris Evans/Captain America twice on this list, but how could we not acknowledge the ⚡electric⚡ moment Cap summoned Mjolnir? A real shock to the heart.
22. 500 Intel drones performing a choreographed light show set to Phish: Get jammin', folks.
23. Golf balls cut in half: These artsy halved golf balls with tantalizingly scrumptious interiors are forbidden snacks, but we can still drool.
24. Demon Beto O'Rourke: When the skateboarding, burger-loving, Beyoncé-endorsed musician Beto O'Rourke ran for Texas Senator against Ted Cruz, he was one of the most crush-worthy men on the planet. Now, O'Rourke is running for president, though, and the American people can't afford to let their thirst distract them from focusing on policy issues. Rather than thinking of Beto to get yourself all hot and bothered consider, focusing on this comedian's parody version, Demon Beto.
25. Animations of a baguette on the move: We are not suggesting you think about just any old loaf of bread while masturbating. Animated baguettes are special.
26. Villanelle and Eve: The relationship between the two Killing Eve characters may be complicated, but their chemistry is clear as day. Scenes like this are simply too intense to just watch.
27. Crocs and shaving cream: In case you haven't seen, putting large dollops of shaving cream in Crocs and then inserting feet forces the shaving cream to escape out of the signature shoe holes. It's quite the satisfying sight.
28. Basically every Met Gala outfit: The 2019 Met Gala theme was "Camp" — inspired by Susan Sontag's 1964 essay — and everyone's outfits were S T U N N I N G. Here is a list of some greats.
29. The Rihanna birthday outfit challenge: Everyone knows Rihanna slays the Met Gala when she attends, but since the singer didn't make it this year we have to get our fix another way. Try searching "Rihanna" and your birthday on Google and see one of her iconic outfits will appear. You're welcome.
30. Balenciaga Crocs: Speaking of Crocs and the Met... I like those Balenciagas. The ones that look like Crocs. 😏
of course the balenciaga crocs are here pic.twitter.com/34ZWXYXAKD
— rachel syme (@rachsyme) May 6, 2019
31. Jake Gyllenhaal in Spider-Man Far From Home trailer: HeLLO, Mysterio. We see that beard and shaggy Jim Halpert hair, boy.
32. What if we kissed memes: A perfect meme for those who want to imagine kissing people in super bizarre places — like near a high voltage box — but are in need of inspiration.
33. The gray streak in Richard Madden's hair: 50 strands of gray = bae.
34. The Senate Intelligence Committee subpoenaing Donald Trump Jr. to testify over the Russia Investigation: Perhaps some people will take pleasure from imagining Trump's son testifying in hopes it will shed some light on this long, national, election hacking nightmare. IDK!
35. Samsung's foldable phone: The wide, glossy screen folds in half for goodness sake.
Digital hot dog bun.
