How To Train Your Dragon is one of the most highly rated animated movies in recent history and one of the most critically acclaimed 3D movies ever made (with perhaps the exception of Jackass 3D). Odd then that to even get theatres to show it, it had to compete with the film that nearly killed 3D movies, Clash Of The Titans.
How To Train Your Dragon Had To Play Dirty To Be Shown In Theatres
The Ping Pong Balls in ‘Forrest Gump’ Were CGI
CGI can be used to accomplish a ton of awesome shit from reaching into the past and dragging prehistoric creatures into the present to headbutt Land Rovers to lovingly rendering Optimus Prime’s balls. Likewise, CGI can also be used for decidedly more mundane tasks, like in the film Forrest Gump, where it was used to animate ping pong balls.
Police Officers Loved It When RoboCop Threw That Guy Through a Window
Robocop is arguably one of the best movies ever made, if only because it contains an entire scene dedicated to shooting a rapist right in the penis. But did you know that when the movie was first screened for police officers (for reasons we’ll discuss in a moment) they loved the idea of RoboCop beating an unarmed suspect to within an inch of his life.
The Weird Reason Homer Simpson Can’t Die
During the several decades The Simpsons have been on the air, Homer Simpson has nearly been killed about 3 dozen times and yet, continues to live. Most people would chalk this up to The Simpsons being a cartoon, creator Matt Groening however has a better theory, that God finds Homer Simpson too funny to let him die.
Iron Maiden’s Plane Kept That Kick-ass Livery After Their World Tour
When Iron Maiden embarked on their 2008 Somewhere Back in Time tour, lead singer Bruce Dickinson managed to secure the band a custom 757 to transport all their equipment. After the band had, had their filthy, filthy way with it, Astraeus Airlines (the company the band loaned it from) actually put it back into service, with the Iron Maiden livery still attached. Because sometimes, life is just awesome like that.
