With all due respect to the late Heath Ledger, this might have actually worked. The best/worst actor of a generation, Tommy Wiseau, turned in a slightly-too-late audition tape for the part of the Joker, and it's just demented enough to work. And in fact it did work. Check out Tommy dubbed into The Dark Knighthere.

You might be thinking this is the latest Studio Ghibli film but It's actually the new tourism video for Travel Oregon. Created by Wieden + Kennedy with animation from Psyop and Sun Creature Studio, the short film "Only Slightly Exaggerated" gives the state's most recognizable landmarks and events the anime treatment. The dreamy scenario is completed with a score performed by the Oregon Symphony.
The city becomes a concrete playground with the Nike Ava Edge, navigating everything from morning commutes on crowded sidewalks to late night rooftop bars and adventures. Inspired by the geometry and interconnected grid networks of modern cities, the upper layers are formed by weaving textiles with breathable mesh netting to create a flexible and protective fit around the foot. An oversized midsole uses performance-level SCF foam for soft cushioning through long days on concrete, while a flexible, perforated rubber outsole wraps onto the midsole for added durability and leaves a distinctive imprint behind with every step. Combining technical construction with an urban-focused silhouette, the Ava Edge takes the active lifestyle of the Ava lineup off the running route and into the everyday rhythm of the city.
Pegasus is Nike's top-selling running line and its longest-lived, and the 42 gives the everyday trainer a roomier fit. The ReactX foam midsole, up 13% in responsiveness over Nike's previous React foam, is paired with an Air Zoom unit that curves the full length of the shoe for the highest energy return Nike offers, from heel to toe-off. The mesh upper is softer and airier than before, a reworked fit leaves the forefoot and toes a little extra space, and a steeper curve under the toes adds spring. A lighter Waffle outsole pairs high-abrasion rubber with flex grooves for traction and flexibility. A men's size 10 weighs about 10.5 ounces.
The true measure of a movie isn't in awards or box-office receipts — it's in cultural impact.

ScreenPrism looks at how the greatest film in history went from being just a movie to a cultural touchstone.
In short, we imagine aliens the way we do because of Hollywood. There's no scientific research that has concluded that they are flying around space in saucers with big heads and squinty eyes. From the film franchises to TV series, our perception of extraterrestrials has been greatly influenced by the science fiction genre. In this video, Oscar-nominated VFX supervisor Charley Henley explains the process behind creating the unknown for Prometheus and Alien: Covenant and how that has shaped our ideas of life beyond our planet.
