Hollywood heartthrob Ryan Gosling really hates cereal and the poor star just can’t seem to get away from the omnipotent cereal spoon that follows him, shadowing his every move.
Well, maybe not IRL, but that is what’s going on in this hilariously funny series of Vine videos created by Ryan McHenry, which show the 32-year-old star of movies like Gangster Squad, The Place Beyond the Pines and The Notebook, as a serial cereal dodger!
Ryan McHenry took clips from some of Gosling’s movies and introduced the omnipotent spoon loaded with cereal, which Gosling persistently rejects. It is so damn silly that it’s brilliant. Continue Reading

This video footage is from the recent tour of North America by the Japanese Robot Theater Project and features excerpts from two plays, “I, Worker” and “Sayonara”. In the plays, robot actors share the stage with their human counterparts, reciting their pre-recorded lines while the human actors do their bit.

The robot actors in “I, Worker” are played by the “Robovie R3”, which feature as household servants in the home of a young couple struggling to cope with the loss of a child. Continue Reading

Well, it looks like next year the Con will be taking on a new name: HobbitCon. Changing the name to HobbitCon is unsurprising really, what with the release of the newest Peter Jackson film and two more on the way.Continue Reading
CeeLo Green’s an individual who likes to stand out from the crowd, which he often does by the way he dresses. Some of you may recall the crazy feathered outfit he wore at the 2011 Grammy’s when performed ‘Forget You’, but true Muppet fans can tell you that the outfit was an homage to Elton John’s performance of ‘Crocodile Rock‘ on The Muppet Show back in 1977.Continue Reading
