The iconic bite mask worn by Anthony Hopkins in The Silence Of The Lambs fits him so well it looks like he brought it from home, but that’s ridiculous because he’s a gentleman and not some mask sporting fetishist, right?

There’s a reason the mask fit him and the Hannibal Lecter character so well, and that reason is trial and error, and lots of test footage, revealed it was the best choice.

Before settling on the suitably psychotic bite mask he wore in the film Hopkins was asked to don what looks like part of a street hockey mask:

Then he was asked to make some funny faces behind mesh, which made him look a bit like a fox in the hen house:

After seeing the film so many times it's hard to imagine Lecter wearing anything but his iconically creepy bite mask, and compared to those other frighteningly bad numbers they really picked a winner!

Unless you're taking a tour of a tech school campus, or you're a mall cop lording over a sea of shoppers, it's hard to feel cool while riding a Segway, and even harder to look cool when you crash!

Segways were advertised as the personal transportation of the future when first unveiled back in 2001, but they didn't catch on with the public as the manufacturers had hoped.

They may not have changed the world of personal transportation, but Segways are an endless source of amusement- for viewers who get to watch riders lose control and hit the pavement hard!

When you see a dog photobombing a picture chances are the canine in question just wandered into the shot, unaware of what’s going on around them, but cats have made an artform out of photobombing pictures taken by their pesky humans.

Cat photobombers seem to come out of nowhere, situating themselves perfectly in the shot and mugging the camera like a total pro.

No animal breaks the fourth wall quite like a cat, and if you’ve ever wondered if a cat understands how a camera works look at this shot:

Is there any denying that clever photobomber cat knows exactly what their human was up to as she prepared to take a selfie? The concerned cat was probably just trying to stop her human from posting another humiliating fake moustache + duckface selfie to the interwebs!

Marvel is living high on the hog these days, with their movies dominating the superhero genre like never before. This success is good for faithful Marvelites, who get to surround themselves with their favorite superfolk, but success can also breed overconfidence.

The Marvel Experience is the latest example of what happens when a company takes advantage of their fan base, and people are downright disappointed with what they’ve spent their hard earned money to see.

Here’s what fans expected to see at the Marvel Experience:

The World’s First Hyper-Reality Tour is a first-of-its-kind, hyper-reality attraction that covers over two acres and encompasses seven colossal Domes, a life-size Avengers Quinjet, the world’s only 360-degree, 3-D stereoscopic full-Dome attraction and a state-of-the-art 4-D motion ride.

Unfortunately, the real Experience falls hopelessly short of the mark, and seems to have been released before the attractions were prepped, tested and made ready for the public. 

After the travelling event debuted in Scottsdale, Arizona, a fellow by the name of Jake Gold left a detailed review of all that is wrong with the Marvel Experience on Yelp, stating:

Let me start by telling you what they got right – the story is good and relies on comic book lore that goes a little deeper than the cinematic universe. There is one moment near the end that genuinely brought a smile to my face which I won’t ruin for you, and the staff seemed like they genuinely wanted to help. However, none of that can make up for the complete disorganization and technical malfunction we experienced.

Will Marvel clean up their act and get the Experience ready before continuing on its nation wide tour, or are they content with milking the popularity of their movies by selling more tickets to this science fiction sideshow?

Playing a video game can have a profound effect on the gamer, and the extremely immersive nature of most modern games make gamers feel like they’re really visiting that virtual world.

Old school games are beloved for their characters, storylines and the overall look of the game, which become symbols of the gaming experience that sticks with the player long after the final boss has been beat.

Crossing over a bridge doesn’t always make you feel like you're crossing over into a magical kingdom, but it must feel like that no matter where you’re headed when you cross over one of these 20 Mystical Bridges That Will Take You To Another World. 

(Image Link)

These amazing bridges aren’t just the way to get where you’re going-  they’re what people travel from far away to see because they’re so beautiful, and every one of them would make a great set piece for a movie. 

Some have been standing for over a thousand years, like the Ponte Gobbo in Italy, which was built by monks around the 7th century AD:

Others are relatively new, like the Puente Nuevo bridge in Spain, which was built in the 18^th century:

They kinda make our modern steel bridges look dull and boring, now don't they?

Fast Friend by Legendary Phoenix

Bay wasn't out looking for friends, but when he saw that BB droid with the spinning body whiz by he had to investigate. It had crosses all over its lower sphere, indicating it served a medical purpose, but it didn't have the capacity for conversation that old bay had, so bay wondered how the heck it was going to help people if it couldn't ask them how they feel?

Where had this strange little droid come from, and why was it in such a hurry? Turns out the seventh episode of a beloved movie series was being filmed nearby, and that spinning R unit had run away from the set out onto the streets of San Fran, just in time to drag bay away from pestering random people on the street!
