The LEGO Batman Movie (Trailer 2)

The LEGO Batman Movie (Trailer 2)

Justice League (SDCC Footage)

Justice League (SDCC Footage)

Our first look at DC’s upcoming superteam flick has more laughs than all of Zack Snyder’s other movies combined. Perhaps the studio asked him to lighten up. It’s also got Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, and The Flash – though Supes is still nowhere to be seen.

1 Million Dots

(PG-13: Language) Tyrion can’t say “benevolent”, Danaerys can’t speak Valyrian and Theon falls into an icy lake in HBO’s all too short blooper real for Game of Thrones’ previous season. That’s not how you wink, Jon Snow.

The Common Chamelon

The Common Chamelon

VFX and animation studio LUMATIC’s short film demonstrates the inexhaustible appetite of one of nature’s many great creatures. It starts out innocently enough, but then things escalate quickly. We’re hopeful this is just the beginning of a larger nature series.

The Illusion of Truth

The Illusion of Truth

Veritasium talks about cognitive ease, which is our tendency to prefer ideas that are familiar and simple. The challenge is to be self-aware about why we think something is true or good, and whether it’s a no-brainer or requires further thought.
