The Night Watch, Dutch master Rembrandt's masterpiece painting, isn't a night watch at all. Years of age and low lighting gave the painting a darker setting, and the mistaken name stuck. Militia Company of District II Under the Command of Frans Banninck Cocq is the actual name of the painting and all of Rembrandt's formidable skill is on display. Rembrandt's mastery of perspective, light, and depth of field is there, along with subtle hints that suggest the painter was poking fun at his subject. Nerdwriter goes deep into the techniques that make this the best work of one of the masters of the form.

Tommy Wiseau's Joker

The Room director and star first portrayed the Clown Prince of Gotham back in March with a surprisingly compelling performance. Now he's back at it to recreate another scene from Christoper Nolan's Dark Knight franchise and prove he's the ultimate villain.

A Brief History of Electric Guitar Distortion

Like nearly everything in human history, the raucous, screaming electric guitar that became the sound of rock was mostly the result of an accident. While amplifier manufacturers like Fender were trying to create the loudest, cleanest sound possible, guitarists of the late 40s and early 50s were doing exactly the opposite — trying to coax the most tortured sounds possible from their gear. Polyphonic goes through the history of the sound that changed popular music forever, from destroying speakers to the invention of the fuzz pedal.

Direwolf Bread from Game of Thrones

Winter is coming, and there's nothing like a good loaf of well-formed direwolf bread to get you through those years-long cold winter nights. Hot Pie's famous dough appears twice in the series, once as an amorphous blob that looks like a turtle, and lastly as true direwolf as we see Hot Pie master his craft. Babish decided to create his own, and brought in someone with direct knowledge of how direwolf bread should taste to make sure he was on point.

Jack Archer Jetsetter Pants

Long gone are the days of stiff, wrinkled chinos. Modern pants are cut from a different (better) cloth, and Jack Archer's Jetsetter Pants are a prime example. Crafted from premium Rebound fabric sourced from Japan, they're stretchy, wrinkle-free, anti-odor, and stain-resistant, making them great for travel. The fit provides room where it's needed but is slim where it's not, and is enhanced by a diamond-shaped gusset that prevents tightness in the crotch and the curved-waist design that provides a lift to the backside. Built with premium stitching, they also feature a zippered coin pocket and hidden reflective tape that's only revealed when they're cuffed. Now available in two cuts: the original, best-selling Slim Fit and the new Straight Fit, which offer a roomier fit from the knee down.
