Ray Kroc built an empire — and he took it from the founders. Richard and Maurice McDonald started the ubiquitous fast-food restaurant in 1948. They were never interested in expanding, until Ray Kroc joined them in 1955. Kroc took the business from a handful of locations and built it into the behemoth we know today. Michael Keaton stars as Ray in The Founder, in theaters January 20, 2017.
If you could get your friend to take a football to the face and record it slow-motion, you'd do it. The Slow Mo Guys couldn't resist the opportunity to put a ball upside Dan's head either. The results are, predictably, glorious, with every detail of the impact captured, along with Dan's classic facial expressions.
Trashie's Take Back Bag is the easiest way to get rid of clothing and other textiles you do not need anymore. Simply buy a bag (or a bundle of them) fill it up, mail it back, and Trashie will ensure those items never make it to landfills, rerouting them to third-party retailers Trashie individually vets for compatibility. That means your old T-shirt, depending on its condition, could end up going to someone in need or being broken down to create carpet padding or pet bed filling, among other things. You earn exactly $30 in TrashieCash for each bag you send back, which you can redeem for deals — direct cash equivalent or a certain percentage off — to buy yourself new things from your favorite brands.

Don't let its traditional weekender shape fool you — Lundi's Remington bag has more organization features than most carry-on options. The exterior is crafted primarily from water-repellent grey oiled cotton canvas, with supple cognac vegetable-tanned leather reinforcements and accents. Inside there's 46 liters of space, Alcantara and polyester lining, a dedicated laptop pocket, multiple pockets for smaller items, and a leather strap with a carabiner clip for keys. Two separate outside pockets store shoes and/or toiletries while a flat pocket provides quick access to a passport or ID. YKK metal zippers secure the interior, and the removable shoulder strap connects via four buckles for maximum stability when rushing through the terminal.

After three years in hiding, Walter White has returned. With a series of bizarre appointments from Donald Trump, SNL pokes fun at the President-elect by bringing back the high school science teacher turned meth kingpin as Head of the DEA. Now if we can get Jesse Pinkman as Director of the FBI, we can really make America cook again.
Other than the presence of Kurt Russell, you wouldn't really consider The Hateful Eight and The Thing to have a lot in common. The former is a western that takes place in a post-Civil War Wyoming, while the later is a sci-fi in moden-day Antarctica. No stranger to a good cinematic tribute, Quentin Tarantino has unashamedly drawn inspiration from John Carpenter's 1982 classic. Not only using three unused tracks from its original soundtrack, but also paying tribute to the film visually, highlighted in this side-by-side comparison.

Ken Block took a shipping container across the pond to the land of strange food, strong ale, and proper English. The Hoonigan picked up Top Gear host Matt LeBlanc in the Hoonicorn for a smoky, tire-shredding tour of the city of London. They skip the iconic double-decker buses and those little black cabs for a trip that hits all the highlights but also strays off the usual well-beaten path.
