Cuz-in-law Jessica Grace Smith is kickstarting her short film, Everybody Else Is Taken<\/a>. She’s fresh out of the Australian soap mines (Summer Bay variety), and raring to go on a very personal project. It’s looking pretty sweet. I particularly like her commitment to build a crew of women to help chip away at gender imbalances in film & TV industries. Take a look at the video, and think about kicking in a couple of bucks. Come payday, we will be!<\/p>\n

The Jemaine Clement song from Rick & Morty, in its entirety<\/a><\/p>\n

Simon C has written some Anne of Green Gables fan fiction<\/a>. (“Fanne fic.”) I haven’t read it yet, but I am so looking forward to doing so. NB: “Graphic Depictions Of Violence”<\/p>\n

Jenni sent me this: “Ryan North, creator of Dinosaur Comics got stuck in a hole with his dog. Twitter users suggested various ways to manipulate his inventory and eventually he got out<\/a>”<\/p>\n

Topical references in Looney Tunes, explained<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Guess Wu: a Wu-Tang version of Guess Who<\/a><\/p>\n

A look at the Star Wars toys Kenner pitched just before they abandoned the line in the 80s<\/a>. Some of this is wildly overambitious, some of it is ridiculously half-assed. (The returning villain is a particularly dumb surprise.)<\/p>\n

Interesting article on Christian Slater cult classic “Pump Up The Volume”<\/a>, talking to the many kids who went into radio right afterwards.<\/p>\n

That time Fonzie jumped the shark: actually not so bad<\/a>?<\/p>\n

This Vox piece on Google’s charity\/altruist group is fascinating<\/a>. Their decision about priorities feels like a 1st year philosophy tutorial discussion topic, rather than something real humans would do in the real world, but real humans are endlessly capable of being ridiculous. (via Pearce)<\/p>\n

And finally… this fan-made video for the D&D segment of “Harmontown” podcast makes a scary amount of sense. Even non-Harmenians might understand. Might.
