Finally! The Kardashians Meet Kubrick in Chilling Shining-Themed Photo Shoot

At long last, the meeting of influential cinema icon Stanley Kubrick and the amorphous multi-headed entity known collectively as The Kardashians has occurred, and here is the photographic evidence: Kendall and Kylie Jenner, younger sisters of Kim Kardashian and the other two from that show you know you watch when no one else is looking, pose a la the creepy twins from The Shining with matriarch Kris Jenner as... uh, you tell me. This particular photo shoot from the lesser Kardashians' guest visit to America's Next Top Model required its model-contestants to pose as toddlers. Naturally some genius dreamed up this scenario. I mean, all of the classic Kubrick signatures are here in this image, from the bright playroom colors to the clown lurking in the background to the leggy model-contestants posing at Kris's feet to the pastel cut-outs proclaiming "GLAMOROUS" on the wall. "Glamorous" is what Kubrick was all about, right? [Celebuzz]

'Prometheus' Fever Dream Inspires Crazy Talk

This normally takes some time before it seems sensible (whether it ever does), so bear beside me. But... I'd an aspiration. Not really a metaphoric dream, a literal one: about "Prometheus," actually! Inside it I had been part of the science team sent around the Prometheus to check out the mysteries of mankinds beginning or whatever. To tell the truth, I truly had no clue why i was there, the dream just kind of began -- something which anybody who saw "Beginning" will understand. In the world, we found something. No, it was not a crashed Space Jockey mothership full of alien eggs. Actually, we didnt even see Space Jockeys. But what we should did find would be a mysterious machine the most mystery and machineriness. It had been massive, and was clearly Space Jockey tech. We did the only real factor we possibly could do: we switched it on. We rapidly recognized it was no mere machine, but a repository of all the DNA of each and every creature the Space Jockeys had ever touch -- an Ark for a moment, similar to that subterranean seed bank they've in Norwegian. Not alone made it happen store all of this information, it had been also in a position to rebuild these creatures near immediately... also it would butchers many of these animals and using them as packed meat for that Space Jockeys to eat. It behooved us to eliminate this factor, clearly. We found a self destruct button, so when we pressed it, an adorable little egg sprang out. It hatched, and facehugged the closest living factor, and in a day, we'd an military of 10000 aliens at our backs, hunting us lower. The Finish. As you can tell, I've crazy dreams. But that which was the purpose of that lengthy story, you are asking? Well, the dream got me thinking. Word has it the new Ridley Scott film takes up large, heavy striking issues, potentially from the world-determining variety. Did aliens go to an early on time? Shall we be descended from their store? Were we produced by them? None of those solutions found me within the dream, only one factor was certain: In my opinion the xenomorphs that we understand and fear from Scott's genre-determining film were actually produced. Designed will be the perfect word. Those are the perfect weapon. Drop some eggs on the planet of the opponents, watching them wilt before your vision. In my opinion the area Jockeys produced the aliens because the ultimate weapon, the fail-safe switch if everything visited hell. Clearly once we learned, the Space Jockeys couldnt control their very own creation. During my dream, a minimum of. None of the is real, obviously, but an admirer can dream... and dreams are occasionally more real compared to what they appear. Anyway, while we are considering "Prometheus," go take a look at Guy Pearce's TED talk from 2023. That's no dream: that's just pure "Prometheus" masterdom. When Talk Nerdy co-host John Phares will get a concept in the mind, Crazy Talk is certain to ensue.
