Slow motion in film isn't anything new, but a great sequence never gets old. It can help convey a dramatic event or capture the fine details in an action shot. It even makes a simple walk down the hallway look badass. From the elevator scene in The Shining to anything in The Matrix, here are some of the greatest slow-mo movie moments.
Fake news is nothing new — just check the rack at the checkout next time you're at the grocery store. What is new is media juggernaut Facebook and algorithms making decisions on advertising. And while this brave new world of fake news and machine decision making is distressing, it isn't quite the scapegoat many people would like you to believe. Vox looks at the impact of fake news in the 2016 election, and learns that the mainstream media's influence is as much to blame as Hillary Clinton's adopted alien baby.

Born from the shadows of mountain west peaks, SMMT's 'Triple Black' embodies the art of the slow burn. More than a color, it's a mood - clarity in the quiet, ritual in the pause. Designed in Park City, Utah at 7,000 feet and inspired by the steepest summits, the Sèrpa Tumbler returns in its boldest form yet: a blackout design for nights that run long, and rituals that run deep. Its 16oz kitchen-grade stainless steel body conceals a patent-pending Sip & Stow magnetic lid system and 3-Way Precision Insulation to keep your drink steady - hot on the coldest first-chair morning, cold by the warmest après fire. Built for connoisseurs of the moment - those who chase steeps, chase sips and choose stillness as a form of rebellion.

It's been said time and again: Good scripts make good movies. As it turns out, George Lucas' flaming abomination Revenge of the Sith just needed a few dialogue tweaks to take the movie from barely watchable to pure comedic gold. Thanks to a reverse-translation of a Chinese bootleg and the dedication of GratefulDeadpool, one of the biggest box-office disappointments is now a fine film in its own right. Watch the entire film here.
