A Necklace Against the Nothing from The Neverending Story

This gorgeous Auryn necklace replica from The Neverending Story is just the perfect thing to protect your loved ones against The Nothing!

If you’re often thrown into dumpsters by bullies, often enjoy hunting Purple Buffalo, fond of skipping school to hide out in attics and increase your literacy, prone to shouting “Moon child!” into storms, or just a fan of the 80s classic movie The Neverending Story, then this Auryn is just the thing for you!

A gift from the Childlike Empress to protect Atreyu on his quest against the Nothing, the Auryn (also Auren or Oren) will guide its bearer in times of trouble, and grants wishes to human children.

The Saga: Star Wars with Tommy Wiseau

Think of the two most awkward, wooden acting performances you’ve seen in your life. Yeah, that would be Hayden Christensen in the Star Wars prequels and Tommy Wiseau in The Room. This mashup from PistolShrimps puts them together, not only in the same story, but in an intimate relationship that somehow produces a son named Mark (Hamill). The story also involves Obi-Wan, Yoda, Leia, and Kylo Ren. The plot is completely bonkers, but the editing is exquisite -except for that stupid football.

How Stop Motion Animation Began

Stop-motion animation is such a familiar idea to us that young children try it at home. But you have to wonder about the pioneers that came up with the idea more than 100 years ago. After all, it was a serious investment in both time and money back then. Vox takes us back to the early 20th century, when Wladyslaw Starewicz had a hard time getting stag beetles to fight each other for an educational film.

A Headbangingly Good Death Metal Cover of Mister Rogers’ ‘Won’t You Be My Neighbor’

From Client Robinson:

Here is my metal version of “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” 🏠 from “Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood”. – Original composition written by Fred Rogers and piano played by Johnny Costa.

This is definitely a metal cover I didn’t see coming 😂, but I was so psyched when I saw the trailer for “It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood” starring Tom Hanks 👍 I’ve always had great admiration for Mr. Rogers and the musicianship of Johnny Costa behind the piano.
