Disoriented in a Most Entertaining Way
Mental health break. This recent TED talk by comedian and musician Reggie Watts is completely out of left field. Watts mixes music, language, comedy, satire and at times plain gibberish to create a 10 minute performance unlike anything I’ve seen before.

182 Superhero Movie in a 5 Minutes Supercut
When three of the four big superhero blockbusters released last year
turned out to be total box office flops, I wondered if perhaps cinema goers had finally tired of the genre. Nearly a year later, with The Avengers already setting records and The Dark Knight Rises
practically breaking the Internet every time a new snippet of video
surfaces online, I think the ambivalence about the genre was
just a natural part of a decades-long popularity cycle — and the fact
that we were dealing with some extremely crappy comic book adaptations.
(Ryan Reynolds playing Hal Jordan? Seriously?!)
Need proof that these popcorn flicks differ wildly in their quality? Watch this supercut of 182 different clips from the genre, and make note of which movie moments bring an instant smile to your face, and which ones make you grimace.
