Two of the best things on the internet have finally come together — the hydraulic press and super slow motion video. The Slow Mo Guys took some inspiration from the Hydraulic Press channel, compressing a full deck of cards into a millimeters-thin stack. The explosion was captured, of course, in fantastic slow-motion.
Dialect coach Erik Singer is an expert on accents, and he's really good at his job. WIRED invited him to critique the accents of 32 actors, from the late Phillip Seymour Hoffman's excellent Truman Capote, to Kevin Costner's terrible Robin Hood. The subtleties of what goes into creating an accent for the screen are amazing.

Born on the gridiron, reborn for the streets — the Nike Field General returns, reshaped for a new era. Once worn by quarterbacks calling shots under Friday night lights, this latest drop revives that same fearless spirit in a silhouette built for city grit. Cloaked entirely in supple leather, the cacao-toned upper delivers a refined take on vintage toughness, while the Waffle sole keeps its '80s roots alive with every step. A padded collar, full cupsole stitch, and foam midsole lock in comfort and durability, making this a sneaker that doesn't just honor history—it commands it.
Monsters do exists. In Jordan Vogt-Roberts' King Kong reboot, Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson, John Goodman, and Brie Larson travel to an island where a gigantic angry ape is the least of their problems, because there's also gigantic lizards, gigantic water buffalo, and a normal size John C. Reilly. Cross your fingers for a monster-to-monster throw down when the film comes to theaters March 10, 2017.
The Roots and Metallica just made the collaboration no one saw coming. Adding a xylophone and a kazoo to the 1991 hit "Enter Sandman", the two bands cram into Jimmy Fallon's music room to turn the heavy metal staple in to a classroom classic. You may love it, you may hate it, but you will respect the way Lars throws down on the mini cymbals.

Their garment-dyed hues echo Amalfi frescos and Riviera skies, while an internal drawstring and horn button closure deliver comfort without compromise.

For men who savor nuance, curate color, and choose stillness over spectacle, this is summer — tailored, tasteful, and timeless.
Velasca's Filòm Loafers fit like a glove — and that's no play on words. Made from the innermost layer of leather and buffed to give them their signature velvety texture, these suede shoes are washed with pumice stone for a lived-in look and feel, and hand-constructed using a tubular construction and sewn together by an internal seam called a Blake stitch, which helps the shoe flex with the natural flexing of your feet. A bit Ivy and inherently Italian, the shape references traditional college-style loafers, which were low-cut with a 'biscotto' shape. Now, they're a democratic everyman silhouette — but this iteration is for those with a keen sense of style and an eye for quality craftsmanship.
Movie memorabilia superfan Adam Savage went to visit his friend Peter Jackson — who not only has a massive collection of movie props, he's also directed some movies with great memorabilia himself. Peter and Adam geek out over a choice piece of Peter's collection — an original HAL 9000 panel from Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Interplanetary travel isn't easy. There are all kinds of ways to die — radiation, solar flares, equipment failures. But before you get to space, you need to get off the ground, and that's dangerous too. And if you actually make it to Mars — well, you get the idea.
