House From Up Recreated In Real Life. Can Cool World Be Far Behind?

The answer is no, of course. Cool World will never happen in real life. Cartoons and humans will never co-exist in the same sexy 1940′s world, no matter what our technology suggests or how hard I wish it. But everyone loves a Cool World reference. Right? Right??? Just me? Cool (world). Anyway. A group of engineers decided to recreate the scene in Up where the house floats away on hundreds of balloons. Here’s what happened:

Can you imagine how high your voice would get it you inhaled one of those balloons? Like, really high. So I assume they’ll land on the edge of a cliff in South America and run into a bunch of super intelligent dogs who are controlled by a famous evil aviator, yes? Roger (rabbit) that!

James Bond In Drag! Wait, It’s Something Very Serious

Here’s a video of Daniel Craig listening to Dame Judi Dench rattle off alarming statistics about the still-prominent gender gap in the U.K. and elsewhere to honor National Women’s Day 2011. The video, scripted by Jane Goldman of Kick Ass, is blunt, articulate, and coldly sobering.

Then Daniel Craig is suddenly in drag, and the video becomes very literal and bizarre, but it still says very serious. I thought drag was supposed to equal instant hilarity, as per the Oscars? Remember when James Franco was like, “I’m in a dress” and we weren’t sure why that was happening or why the segment lasted another 20 seconds without him doing anything else? Either way, the video makes a lot of very serious points, and there’s Daniel Craig in drag:
