Everybody Needs A Hobby of the Day

Everybody Needs A Hobby of the Day: 37-year-old Polish art lover Tomasz Urynowicz spent a decade trying to track down the woman in a painting he owns, to no avail.

Having given up on his quest to find her real-world counterpart, Urynowicz has decided to do the next best thing: Marry the girl in the portrait.

“I don’t know what the laws on this sort of thing are in Poland,” he says. “But if I can’t do it here, I’ll go somewhere else and do it.”

Everybody Needs A Hobby of the Day: T. Shamir, the jewelry designer-cum-miniature weapons enthusiast who wowed us with an utter lack of concern for his own personal property, returns to showcase a brand new shrunken shooting device — the mini-crossbow.

“This miniature crossbow works in exactly the same way as the common full-size hunting crossbow,” he says, “but in terms of power to weight ratio, the mini crossbow is almost 4X stronger.” Mini-knights beware.

Lights Out

Apr. 11, 2011

Lights Out: Last summer, a collection of 54 “amateur filmmakers and video-making enthusiasts” collaborated Star Wars Uncut-style on a somewhat surprising film project: A full-length remake of the 1984 Kevin Bacon magnum opus Footloose.

The film’s official site elaborates on the impetus:

In October 2008 it was announced that Paramount Pictures and Dylan Sellers Productions would be remaking the classic Footloose, starring Zac Efron. We were fed up. The Hollywood remake machine was going to take another solid movie, put it through the ringer, and make a buck from a younger generation. We decided “Let’s beat them to the punch. Let’s do this remake our way.
