In what could easily (and may yet prove to) be a companion piece to Dov Hikind’s Nazis out of New York campaign, Youtuber Marca Blanca presents the Third Reich Friends.

*German speakers are invited to suggest a less Googlish  translation of ‘They’ll be there for you’.

Behold: the HUVr, crafted from “paramagnetic titanium” and shipping from December 2014.

Based on the hoverboard from Back To The Future and endorsed here by Moby, Tony Hawk and Christopher Lloyd it is, of course, a real thing that is real.

I’m releasing a book called Saint Frank this month. It was printed on a risograph, hand collated and hand bound I also did the illustrations, oh and I wrote it too. Anyway, it’s a completely independent job so I’m also doing the marketing leg work. If you found a space to tell people about it, I’d be delighted. I describe it as a dirty fairy tale. Oh and Pat McCabe, John Banville and Peter Murphy have all said wonderful things about it.

A tribute to the late Phillip Seymour Hoffman by writer/director/editor Caleb Slain featuring clips from every film the actor has done. Slain sez:

Compiling his legacy has been one of the most challenging experiences I’ve ever faced as an editor, and yet indescribably rewarding. I can assure you that after 22 years on screen and nearly fifty films, we now look at the work of an actor who never had a single dishonest moment on camera. I know because I’ve seen them all. Please take a breather and raise your glasses to one of our greatest.

The title still was created using 205 head shots from 47 of Hoffman’s films
