Watch the first trailer for What We Do in the Shadows

I am so excited about this movie!

Starring Taika Waititi, Jermaine Clement and Jonathan Brugh as three vampire flatmates who get annoying/awesome new vampire Nick (Cori Gonzalez-Macuer) in to spice things up, and Rhys Darby as a “werewolf, not a swearwolf”, this is the New Zealand mockumentary of 2014.

It’s written and directed by Taika and Jermaine, so you know it’s going to be amazing.

Here’s the first trailer:

Arghhh!

These ‘Kimye on The Cover of Vogue’ remixes are the best thing you’ll see all day

It started with this somewhat controversial image: Kanye West and Kim Kardashian on the cover of April’s Vogue.

Many fashion purists wondered what editor Anna Wintour was thinking, but she’s gone on to defend having the pair feature.

The muppets, who might just be the real bastions of popular culture, shot back with this amazing image:

Please note the subtle dig at Vogue in the title – and that one-upmanshipped hashtag.

Longtime Kimye tribute artist James Franco is also not one to let an opportunity pass, and posted this to his Facebook wall…

It’s probably time we revisit this.

I can’t wait to see where this goes next.

Hilarious video explains why you should never read YouTube comments

We’d all heard the quote “don’t read the comments” and this super-funny video shows us exactly why that’s true.

The video’s creators say “The YouTube comment section can sometimes make you question humanity, so to cheer you up we’re bringing you dramatic reconstructions of some of the best comment wars. This time it’s between ‘Sophie Danze’ and ‘Jilianlovesthebeibs’ on One Direction – What Makes You Beautiful.”

This is the start of what will be a very funny series of clips. You can subscribe to Dead Parrot’s YouTube channel here.
