Watch as the guys from Baltimore Knife and Sword make a 400-year-old Dandao sword from China using some really old techniques and machinery. It’s awesome to see iron sand transformed into steel in a smelter that would be similar to the ones the Chinese used centuries ago. It’s almost cooler to see a block of steel get stretched out in a rolling mill that’s been used to make horseshoes for 80 years.
But the best part is seeing how damn hard it is to make the 400-year-old sword. Even with the aid of some modern cheats, turning sand into a steel blade takes so much work that it’s incredible that people actually managed to do it in the first place.
Project Veritas Action (PVA) brought down corrupt Democrat activist front group ACORN with a series of revealing videos, and has now turned his sights on Hillary Clinton’s attacks on the gun rights of American citizens.
If I know their work at all, you can expect a lot more where this came from.
The Steyr Scout Rifle was the ultimate expression of Col. Jeff Cooper’s Scout Rifle Concept when it was introduced in 1997, and still remains at the top of the heap almost 20 years years.
Indeed, Steyr shooters finished first and second during a scout rifle competition held the second-ever Scout Rifle Conference at Gunsite Academy recently.
So why is it becoming more affordable over time, dropping roughly $600 in cost since it was introduced 19 years ago? That’s a darn good question, and scout rifle expert Richard Mann sat down with Mike Nischalke of Steyr Arms to try to understand why.
Marvel and DC are dropping bombs left and right, but an odd pair are stealing the limelight from comic book heroes: the story of King Arthur, as told through the eyes of Guy Ritchie. Starring Charlie Hunnam, Jude Law, Djimon Hounsou, Eric Bana, Aiden Gillen and more.
It’s hard to believe that Star Trek has been around for 50 years now. To celebrate this auspicious occasion, the editors at Burger Fiction put together this tribute reel, which compiles footage from the earliest days of The Original Series, through the latest films from J.J. Abrams and Justin Lin.
Along the way, we’re reminded of great moments like The Wrath of Khan, The Next Generation, and Voyager. Also, not so great ones like The Motion Picture. Eesh, that was bad. Especially the costumes. And V-Ger.
I’m just so glad they included Kirk’s hilarious “Double dumbass on you!” line from The Voyage Home. If you’re a Star Trek fan, you owe it to yourself to take 16 minutes out of your day to watch this.
This movie may be too good to actually exist. Will Arnett’s gloriously self-absorbed Batman. Michael Cera is an amazing loony Boy Wonder. For the Penguin’s sake, Robin literally throws his tights in Batman’s face. Everything about this Lego Batman Movie trailer is, as they say, awesome.
Directed by Chris McKay, The Lego Batman Movie opens February 10. It features the voices of Arnett, Michael Cera, Zach Galifianakis, Rosario Dawsno, and Mariah Carey.
The sheer amazement of a magic trick that fools you or a seemingly futuristic technology is a feeling that stays with you forever. You can’t wait to show it to others, marvelling all over again. The internet is filled with people from all walks of life. Naturally, the artists, magicians, technologists, and scientists like to use this medium to make you go, “Wow, how’d they do that?” Here are a few of our favorites, both old and new… Cassius — The Missing (Web): Control the Couple in a Music Video Much like radio and television before it, musicians now rely…
DC’s cinematic heroes assembled for the first time at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, with our first truly good look at the Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg. They’re not bad at all! We also got to watch a very, very early teaser trailer for Justice League, and here’s what we saw:
It starts with a bearded Bruce Wayne in some kind of fishing village. He asks the town about the man who brings fish to the starving town. He’s told the man comes on the king tide, and he was there last night. At that moment, Aquaman turns around.
Next we’re in a forest, it looks ancient and someone is digging up a mother box. Bruce Wayne again: “I believe an enemy is coming, I’m looking for warriors.” And we see two huge waves crashing down on Aquaman.
“I’m building an alliance to defend us,” Wayne continues. Then we’re in the Batcave, where Wonder Woman is sitting at a terminal. “Will he fight with us?” she asks.
“More or less,” Wayne says.
“Well, more more or more less?”
“Probably more less.”
“He said no?”
“He said no.”
We then cut to the Flash sequence that we saw filmed on set, which you can read about in full here. However, now the effects were finished and when Flash goes to grab the Batarang, lightning flashes all around him.
Cut to: a cave. It’s the whole team minus Superman. Cyborg says to Batman, “I heard about you. I didn’t think you were real.”
Batman responds, “I’m real when it’s useful.” Then the title card.
In the last bit, Aquaman slams Bruce Wayne against a wall and Bruce says, “So I hear you can talk to fish.”
