Glass
This is it — the last installment in the Unbreakable trilogy. Glass finds all three characters from Unbreakable and Split together in a psych ward being studied as research subjects with delusions of grandeur until Samuel L. Jackson's Elijah Price unleashes The Beast and lets him loose on society, exposing the world of heroes and villains. Bruce Willis and James McAvoy also reprise their roles when the film comes to theaters January 18, 2019.
Making a 10-Foot Paper Airplane
So it isn't technically a paper airplane, being made from polystyrene, but the design is from a scaled-up paper airplane drawing. Measuring just over 10 feet from nose to tail, this massive glider traveled over 320 feet on its longest flight. Watch how The Q designed and built this behemoth and then launched it on its maiden voyage.

Imogene+Willie x Uncrate Barton Slim Jeans
Nashville-based Imogene+Willie has long been one of our favorite, slightly-under-the-radar, indie denim makers. In search of creating the perfect pair of selvedge jeans that still incorporate the forgiving element of stretch without years of wear, we partnered with Imogene+Willie to source a fabric that would meet an extremely high standard of material quality. That led us to Japan, where we found the perfect blend of tough-wearing 13-ounce selvedge fabric with 3% stretch. The fabric is one of the toughest on the market, even winning over Imogene+Willie founder and denim aficionado Matt Eddmenson, who prior to this jean would only wear raw selvedge. To finish off the limited release in true Uncrate fashion, we blacked out the fabric, stitching, and hardware and gave each pair a water-dip finish to matte the color of the jeans from the first wear on. Cut in the brand's original and sought-after Barton Slim silhouette that's an ideal fit for most body types, it's a limited run of the jeans we'll be wearing for years to come.

Barbecue Bucket Grill
Buckets are made to carry things, which makes the Texsport Barbecue Bucket Charcoal Grill inherently portable. Ideal for camping and tailgating, its compact size still offers enough room to cook four burgers at a time. Its chrome-plated and powder-coated metal body will stand up to repeated use, and the black carry/storage bag will keep charcoal and ash from spilling out while on the move.
