Culture Buzz I don’t ever recall Chris Evans decapitating a nazi w his shield in the movie version. Why can’t Hollywood take more cues from Lego-inspired fan films?

Culture Buzz I love videos like these. Especially when there is a cute girl involved.
Sports Buzz An awesome Lego scale model of Lucas Oil Stadium was unveiled at the Super Bowl in Indianapolis today. It took designer Brian Alano three years and 30,000 pieces to construct. The working video screens are an impressive touch.

Beware of the armies of Mordor “Free Ego,” a chalk painting designed by Leon Keer. This is the completed version of the outline we saw a few days ago.
LEGO and history? I'll take three. Planet Street Painting did an amazing job for the Sarasota Chalk Festival.
