Under A Rock with Tig Notaro: Lena Headey

Tig Notaro has a video series called Under a Rock, in which she interviews celebrities even though she has no idea who they are. Most of the people that have appeared so far are people whose names I recognize, but I would not recognize them on the street -or in pictures, even. I would have never recognized Lena Headey here, and I just now found out how to pronounce her last name. (via Metafilter)

The Rise of Skywalker Teaser Sweded

These cheap recreations, or "Sweded" movie trailers are getting better all the time. Sure, these folks had no special effects budget, but they have easy access to things like lightsabers and editing software. Everything else is a workaround, made with painted cardboard, and it's really  cute. Here you can see it side-by-side, or actually top-and-bottom, with the original. See if you can tell which is which.



(Thanks, Bryan & Roque!)

Oh, Hey, Moon!

This comic reminds me of that viral idea of exposing your butthole to the sun for health and wellness, which I was pretty sure was a joke, except some people took it seriously. This comic is from Extra Fabulous Comics.

The Kittisaurus cats have learned a few things about plastic wrap since they first encountered the "invisible wall" in the previous video. Here they are challenged by a maze made from plastic wrap, but what fun is finding your way around when you can defeat those invisible walls so many other ways? (via Digg)

Just what it says on the tin. The greatest movie quotes are those that people know and use over and over. You can see from this supercut that Inigo Montoya's prepared speech from The Princess Bride can be used for many different situations. While not all the quotes are exact, we know who inspired them.  (via Laughing Squid)

Aliens are so cute when they try to act human! Here they are, discovering the pleasures of cocooning on a cold winter night with some heat containment fabric and a predictable narrative to observe. Or a blanket and a Hallmark movie. This comic is from Nathan Pyle' s Strange Planet.

How Does Chemotherapy Work?

cvg

Chemotherapy is scary and debilitating, but that's nothing compared to cancer. Chemotherapy harnesses dangerous poisons to kill cancer cells, which also harms healthy tissue. However, modern medicine is making great strides in targeting cancer cells exclusively. But there did that idea come from? Strangely, it began with a World War I chemical weapon. Learn about chemotherapy in the TED-Ed lesson. (via Geeks Are Sexy)
