Airbnb is offering its coolest accommodation yet: an underwater bedroom surrounded by 35 sharks.

WrestleMania: why you should watch, even if pro wrestling isn't your thing

Chris Plante March 29, 2016 11:33 am15 hours ago 19

This Sunday the WWE will host the Super Bowl of professional wrestling. WrestleMania will takeover the AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas, which has a maximum capacity of 105,000. If things go as the WWE plans, the show will be the biggest pro wrestling event in history. That's only partly why you...

Watch this analysis of how Hitchcock positioned characters to tell a story

James Vincent March 29, 2016 10:51 am16 hours ago 5

If you're a fan of Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo then you should watch the video above. And if the word "blocking" only makes you think of football and Twitter, you should definitely watch it. This 8-minute clip from YouTube channel Nerdwriter breaks down a scene from Vertigo in which Gavin Elster...

How bacteria, fungi, and mold are finding a home in high-end kitchens

Lindsey J. Smith March 29, 2016 04:00 am23 hours ago 3

We usually think of bacteria, molds, and fungi as unwelcome visitors in the kitchen, but in restaurants worldwide, chefs--famous and acclaimed ones at that--are using microbes to create new flavors, reveals Nature Microbiology.

What if critics and fans are both right about Batman v Superman?

Chris Plante March 28, 2016 04:11 pm03.28.2016 145

Last week, film critics came together and pulverized Batman v Superman. "Blunt, humorless, and baffling," wrote Slate's Jonathan Fischer. "It collides the brutish directorial stamp of its director (he of 300 and Watchmen fame) with the most shameless instincts of our latter-day superhero...

Batman v Superman's success as explained by a child's chalk drawing

Chris Plante March 28, 2016 11:52 am03.28.2016 47

I believe the universe tries to speak to us, but to hear it we must choose to listen. This morning, I awoke to the inexplicable news that Batman v Superman, a movie broadly loathed by the critics, broke a number of box office records, raking in $416 million in global box office returns. How did...

This animated Batman/Superman team-up is better than Dawn of Justice

Kwame Opam March 27, 2016 07:58 pm03.27.2016

I admit that nostalgia makes me a little biased here, but for my money the DC Animated Universe has done some of the very best storytelling using comic book characters. Superman '78 and The Dark Knight may be beloved for interpreting the Man of Steel and Caped Crusader for the big screen, but the...

You might need a manual just to unpack the HTC Vive

Dante D'Orazio March 26, 2016 06:00 pm03.26.2016 35

The HTC Vive is an impressive piece of kit, but it's far from simple. A diagram reportedly included in an email to early adopters this week made that fact very clear by detailing the no fewer than twenty separate items included with the consumer edition. Much of this is the same as the...

The Little Prince in VR is like a diorama come to life

Ross Miller March 26, 2016 10:53 am03.26.2016 9

Sometimes the best interaction is having literally nothing to press. The Rose and I is a short piece by Penrose Studio that made its world premiere this past January at Sundance Film Festival. Loosely based on Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little

Do not blame Google Maps when you tear down the wrong house

Jacob Kastrenakes March 25, 2016 06:02 pm03.25.2016 66

I think it's a good thing to give people second chances, and often even third and fourth chances, and to be accepting of people's mistakes, because mistakes happen and everyone makes them and often life goes on. But if you are tearing down someone's house, please take the time to confirm you are...

Kevin Spacey is a virtual reality hypebeast

Chris Plante March 25, 2016 12:30 pm03.25.2016 11

Kevin Spacey is a great actor and theater director, but I'm a bigger fan of Kevin Spacey the breathless tech evangelist. When Spacey likes a trend, he invests his time, money, and celebrity. Streaming services are the future? Spacey becomes the star of the first breakout streaming TV series....

Watch Batman v Superman reviews take a toll on sad Ben Affleck

Chris Plante March 25, 2016 12:24 pm03.25.2016 59

I like Ben Affleck. Good Affleck, bad Affleck — I don't care. I like Reindeer Games. I love Shakespeare in Love. I don't like Clerks 2 or Runner Runner or Surviving Christmas, but I can make the most of them, similar to the way I use over-ripe bananas to make delicious banana bread.

I do not...

The CEO of Young Thug’s label made a bonkers Snapchat story about Slime Season 3

Lizzie Plaugic March 25, 2016 12:01 pm03.25.2016

Lyor Cohen is the co-founder and CEO of 300 Entertainment, a label whose roster includes upstart rap heroes like Migos, Fetty Wap, and Young Thug, and also Coheed and Cambria. Young Thug's third mixtape in his Slime Season series dropped at midnight last night, but before it did, Cohen seized the...

The saddest booth at the New York Auto Show is full of Scions

Sean O'Kane March 24, 2016 03:34 pm03.24.2016 23

The lights around me are flashing bright white, then blue, then purple. "Where Are Ü Now" is blaring through speakers that hang from the ceiling above me. Both of these details are making me feel weird, because it's 1PM and I'm at the New York International Auto Show. Manhattan's hottest new club...

Video games are art and now art are video games

Chris Plante March 24, 2016 03:26 pm03.24.2016 7

I remember when we fought the war over video games' status as art. We lost a lot of good women and men to the Battle of Citizen Kane of Video Games, and I still grimace on the anniversary of the Three Day Siege of Ludonarrative Dissonance. I vowed to never forget the sacrifices countless...

Look, it's a bunch of Pikachu dancing to Beyoncé's 'Formation'

Jamieson Cox March 24, 2016 12:14 pm03.24.2016 6

Let's get down to business: here we have a bunch of Pikachu — more than a handful, less than a dozen — "dancing" to Beyoncé's "Formation," that unapologetic celebration of blackness and post-coital feasts at Red Lobster. (I can't imagine where the Pikachu are keeping their hot sauce — purses and...
