If it weren't for the all the films made in basements and on kitchen tables by LEGO fans, The LEGO Movie as we know it wouldn't exist. The look, feel, and "is it stop-motion or CGI?" all came from passion projects of amateur LEGO films. Vox looks at the history of LEGO fan films and how Animal Logic, the studio behind The LEGO Movie, used them for inspiration.

There's nothing in the world like your mom's cooking. Childhood memories of family gathered around the dinner table, everyone happy to be together — OK, that sounds more like an Andy Griffith episode. While it probably wasn't like that all the time, we all have our childhood favorites. Matty Matheson shows you how to make one of his, trout almondine with finger potatoes and green beans.
Like fine timepieces, quality pens require detailed craftsmanship. That's evident in the perpetual calendar mechanism of the Anytime pen from Paolo Favaretto and Montegrappa. The pen's lid has three notched dials for the date, day, and month that provide haptic feedback when adjusted and lock into place using technology from the company's ratchet piston-fill mechanism. The pen is available in two models: Maestro, with a black resin and Delrin body with stainless steel trim, and Supremo, with a red resin body and yellow gold-plated brass trim. Both rollerball and fountain versions are available; the latter models have 18k gold nibs, and every pen regardless of model is limited to 365 numbered pieces and arrives pre-adjusted to show the date of manufacture.
