If you don't know who Die Antwoord are then check out the 2015 sci-fi film Chappie and you'll get a good idea of who Yolandi and Ninja are, or who their zef personas are anyway.

Die Antwoord creates niche music, meaning they have a far more select audience than, say, Taylor Swift, and some people say the Die Antwoord sound makes them want to stick pencils in their ears.

But is it the kind of music that makes open-minded Baby Boomers, who tend to like all kinds of music, want to Die? Fine Brothers Entertainment investigates:

Stephen King has written about a bajillion stories, and there have been nearly as many movie and TV adaptations made of his works, about one or more a year since the 80s.

With so many of his works being adapted each year there are bound to be some stinkers, but King's opinion on those movie adaptations may surprise you.

He has been up front about his hatred of Kubrick's adaptation of The Shining from the very beginning, stating:

"I’d admired Kubrick for a long time and had great expectations for the project, but I was deeply disappointed in the end result. Parts of the film are chilling, charged with a relentlessly claustrophobic terror, but others fall flat."

So if he doesn't like an adaptation many people consider to be a classic then which films does he like?

King has stated that he's fond of Cujo, The Dead Zone and Misery in terms of horror, and he loves The Mist because "it's just an all out balls-to-the-wall horror film".

But what about his non-horror stuff? Surely he doesn't hate on those prison classics like he hates on The Shining?

Apparently he approves of The Green Mile adaptation, although he says "The film is a little 'soft' in some ways", but The Shawshank Redemption and Stand By Me are both Grade A adaptations approved by the Master of Horror.

Every anime fan wondered one thing while watching Dragon Ball Z- how do I raise my power level like a super saiyan?

It turns out raising your power level is a lot easier than you think, all you have to do is win the lottery, inherit a fortune or become ridiculously rich somehow and you'll have DBZ-like power at your disposal.

Comic artist JHALL created these illustrated comparisons to show us how rich people are just like DBZ characters, only they don't wear cool costumes, fight to the death or save the planet.

But other than that they're exactly the same!*wink*

Haunt season has officially begun, and people across the country are lining up to have the crap scared out of them by actors in haunted attractions designed to terrify and delight.

It takes a lot of preparation and hard work to create and run these horror-themed Haunts, and yet many visitors act like fools when they're inside the attraction, which frustrates the crew.

Maybe they act like fools to hide their fear, or they think a Haunt is the kind of dark place where jackassery is acceptable, but whatever the reason for their behavior it's time they were taught the right way to act in a haunted house.

Don't chat with the actors, even if you know them, and don't take pictures of them or they may actually go mad with anger.

You should likewise refrain from asking the actors out on a date, no matter how hot you think they are, and calling them out before they jump out and scare a group just ruins the experience for everyone.

And speaking of shock blocking- don't ever declare you're not scared while inside a Haunt, or the actors will work twice as hard to scare the living daylights out of you...

The world is a cruel and merciless place, and even the purest and most beautiful creations can be torn to shreds by heartless humans who don't place any value in beauty or craftsmanship.

But don't fret about the death of art when you hand that perfectly wrapped present to your boorish friend because, as this comic from Mr. Lovenstein shows, they're unwrapping your vengeance...

There was once a chain of video rental stores called Blockbuster Video, nee Video Library, where people would go and pay way too much to buy snacks and rent a VHS or DVD copy of a movie.

These video stores went the way of the dinosaurs once people realized it would be better to sit at home and have the DVDs sent directly to them, and thus the video rental dino-stores all died off.

Now, as intrepid urban explorer RubarGar reveals in this video, the Blockbuster Video locations that are still standing have become some of the spookiest abandoned buildings in the U.S.

It's amazing how well preserved those products are after all these years, and seeing all those old titles sure was a blast from the past. I almost forgot there was such a thing as a Wii!

Why are Young Adult novels so popular with young and old alike these days? Because of the formula- sexy plus pitiful plus surprisingly powerful equals dystopian hero born to save us all.

Add in a dash of the supernatural, some silly yet memorable names and a pinch of peril and you've got a formulaic story for the masses.

Prefer pictures to word problems? You can thank Adam Ellis for his illustrated breakdown of Every Dystopian YA Novel, which he posted on his site Books Of Adam. I wonder how he cracked the code?

I'm sure anyone who doesn't play Pokémon GO is sick of hearing about it by now, because stories about GO are an inescapable part of internet life these days.

But folks who hate GO should probably keep their opinions to themselves or risk bringing all kinds of Pokéhate from a world full of wanna-be trainers down upon their head.

Man during a pokéwalk said we needed to "get a life." I said "this is a life." He looked at the 100+ of us smiling, laughing and was silent.

It appears some people are so fed up with Pokémon GO players they're willing to risk being hated so they can grump and groan about the game they don't understand.

Maybe the haters would be better off simply accepting that Pokémon GO isn't their idea of a good time and letting the hatred GO before they get Frozen out by their Poké-lovin' friends.

Star Wars fandom is a global phenomenon, and at this point it's plain to see the world is just as fond of the franchise as we are here in the United States.

So why is it so surprising to see a Star Wars themed creperie in Paris?

#starwars #themedrestaurant #paris #geek

A video posted by Anemie MissCrafty (@missanemie) on Feb 27, 2016 at 2:29pm PST

Because we're talking about Paris, the city seemingly too fashionable, gourmet and highbrow to play host to a theme restaurant, much less one based on a geeky franchise like Star Wars.

But Odyssey creperie, nicknamed Cafe Nerd, is every bit as Parisian as the rest, and according to visitors the sci-fi themed crepes and ice cream sundaes they serve up are dangerously delicious.

Don't worry we found the Star Wars themed crêperie (w nods to most major scifi institutions) #maythe4thbewithyou #starwars

Odyssey is located on Rue Dante near Notre Dame, and even though the decor is totally Star Wars their menu is sci-fi inclusive, with nods to Star Trek, Doctor Who and Battlestar Galactica.

The plot of Stranger Things seems pretty straightforward to me, and yet there are quite a few questions purposefully left unanswered, which fans are happy about because that means we get a second season.

But one question remained on my mind well after I finished binge watching the first season- what is Eleven's relationship to the monster the kids call the Demogorgon?

This fan theory video from the UPROXX series IN THEORY may explain it all. (Contains spoilers)

Hopefully this fan theory doesn't make the Duffer brothers change gears because the show has been great so far!

Everything changed when Disney bought Lucasfilm and all the Star Wars properties. At first we were excited, because that meant that we’d get more Star Wars movies, while feeling apprehensive, because we didn’t want it to turn into Mickey Mouse. Then Disney announced that the "expanded universe" of novels, games, and fan fiction up to that point were not to be regarded as canon, which startled fans. What were they thinking? They were thinking of unifying all Star Wars lore. And that in itself raises many questions.

When Lucasfilm was purchased by Disney, the decision was made that anything that advances the Star Wars story would become part of the same singular canon. Books, comics, games—they’re now as definitive as TV and film. Anything you pick up related to Star Wars adds to the whole; there’s a group of executives called the Lucasfilm Story Group whose sole job is to make sure all of these moving parts come together in a cohesive way.

As a Star Wars fan, I can’t think of anything more exciting than it all having a purpose. The amazing fact that we’re finally finding out what happened to Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Han Solo (RIP) after Return of the Jedi is just the icing on the cake. Now, every single bit of Star Wars out there gives us another piece of the puzzle. You can go to the store, pick up Marvel’s Star Wars comic, and read crucial pieces of Star Wars history. Did you ever wonder how Darth Vader would’ve reacted between when he realized Obi-Wan Kenobi hid his son from him? Well, that happens in the comics—and it was a result of Luke Skywalker meeting Boba Fett, if you can believe it.

At the same time, longtime fans are having a time shifting from a malleable fictional universe to a concrete universe, and newer fans wonder if you really have to buy all those comic books to learn what’s going on. The pros, cons, and questions about Disney’s new approach to Star Wars are laid out for your reading pleasure at io9.

Growing up with cartridge-based gaming meant dealing with cartridges prone to all sorts of little problems, so gamers were introduced to the basics of loading, using and cleaning ROM cartridges.

But most young gamers had no clue how those ROM cartridges actually functioned- we knew the “golden fingers” had to contact connectors inside the slot, but beyond that the function was a mystery.

The 8-Bit Guy created this video to show us the inner workings of an old school game cartridge, comparing their function to floppy disks and revealing how memory expanded by cartridges helped improve graphics.

In the 1980s gamers were introduced to a new kind of interactive game-VCR board games, the games you played while sitting in front of the TV.

VCR board games were seen as cutting edge by some, a weak comparison to console video games by others, but every kid who liked board games had to try out a VCR game at least once, to see what all the buzz was about.

The difference was immediately apparent, as a live action game master on the tape guided their gaming experience by yelling at them, telling them what to do or simply by adding some video scene flavor to the game.

This supercut compiled by Found Footage Fest pays homage to those strange niche VCR games of the 80s and 90s, check it out and see if it brings back any good or bad board game memories!

People love to share inspirational quotes from famous folks online, and since so many of these quotes are either incomplete or attributed to the wrong person we might as well make up our own.

Better yet, let's use famous quotes from fictional characters as inpiration, it's the same difference considering a quote is just a sentence or two meant to make us think or give us hope.

And wouldn't you rather quote a fictional character you know is actually cool rather than some pumped up historical figure who may or may not have been a total jerk?

Old timey Disney is the best kind of Disney, and even though they've moved away from their old look and feel in many ways Disney characters are timeless and forever influencing art, design and fashion.

And speaking of Disney inspiring fashion- Unique Vintage released a new line of old timey Disney inspired clothing for cool chicks called “The Happiest Collection On Earth”.

The collection features outfits inspired by older Disney classics such as Alice In Wonderland and Snow White, newer features like Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid, and of course the mice who started it all.
