If you enjoyed John Boswell’s Ode to the Brain, you may like this too. Since 2009, the composer has been creating the Symphony of Science set of videos with the aim of teaching the fundamentals of science through the medium of music.
In Onward to the Edge, the twelfth installment in the series, a trio of auto-tuned scientists wax lyrical about space exploration and the wonders of the solar system.
For more info about the project, visit Symphony of Science.

Supercuts are a dime a dozen these days so you have to pick the ones relevant to your interests. Heads blowing up is certainly one of mine.

This is brilliant! YouTube user moviemaestroten took the audio track from the latest trailer to Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film The Dark Knight Rises and skillfully matched it to scenes from the 1994 animated adventure, The Lion King. The results are amusing to say the least, and Scar makes for a wondefully incomprehensible villain. Check out The Lion King Rises.
The Dark Knight Rises releases on July 27th in South Africa. The Lion King, now 18 years old, was re-released in 3D in September 2011, and earned a whopping USD 30.2 million in its opening weekend!

There are only 15 days to go until the end of this year. If I could remember anything, I would say 2011 was a year like no other. There was good, there was bad, and everything else in between. In his retrospective montage, Filmography 2011, YouTube user genrocks celebrates the year in movies.
This mashup is composed of clips from 230 films that were produced or released this year. For more info on the film and music selection, visit the Filmography 2011 tumblelog.

First it was Nigella Lawson being all tarty in the kitchen, and now it’s the turn of celebrity chef and potty mouth Gordon Ramsay to get the 80gumdrops treatment.
The industrious YouTube user creatively edited clips from one of Ramsay’s cooking shows to make Gordon Talks Dirty, where the chef talks about the intricacies of making love to the ladies. Ramsay provides many tips, including having a go with three fingers, shocker!

Oh my, this so scrumptiously rude! YouTube user 80gumdrops edited various clips from Nigella Lawson’s 2006 television series, Nigella Feasts, into a rather decadent monologue where the queen of tarts tells us some of her culinary fantasies. Be warned, there is some heady innuendo in the mix here, so it’s possibly NSFW.

Fuck is a versatile word and can be used as a noun, verb (both transitive and intransitive), adverb, adjective, or and as interjection. This colourful word has wormed its way into our everyday speech and in his 14-minute supercut, YouTuber user mewlists, catalogues the 100 best moments in movies that feature the F-bomb. I don’t think I need to tell you that the video is NSFW, fornicators of matriarchs.
It seems embedding of the video has been disabled, so you’ll have to watch it on YouTube itself. Here’s the link – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjrusKatMWs
If you’re a glutton for punishment, mewlists has followed up his original video with 100 more of the greatest fucks in film. Find that supercut after the jump.
Jordan Laws and the people over at Screen Werks stitched together clips from 48 popular movies to create a wonderful musical mashup. The likes of Darth Vader, Napoleon Dynamite, James Bond, and Audrey II all get together to drop some mad rhymes.
As good as it is, the drum beat is a little too loud and I mentioned on Google+ that it could have done with a line or two from Pulp Fiction. Jules is a natural poet:
My name’s Pitt. And your ass ain’t talkin’ your way out of this shit.
Or perhaps from Pulp Fiction and Snatch:
Brick Top: In the quiet words of the Virgin Mary… come again?
The Wolf: That’s thirty minutes away. I’ll be there in ten.

Fans of HBO’s Game of Thrones will have to wait until April 2012 to return to the Seven Kingdoms. To stave off the withdrawal symptoms, several people have taken to making creative covers of the series’ opening theme song composed by Ramin Djawadi.
You may remember Roger Lima as he banged out a rock cover on his guitars and drum kit. You may also recall Jason Yang, who used an acoustic and electric violin, and layered the 13 different tracks to create the most delightful cover I’ve heard. These two versions are wonderful on their own but in his mashup, Youtube user paolody wanted to find out what it would sound like if Lima and Yang collaborated on a truly epic Game of Thrones cover. Are the results doubly awesome? Find out below.
Hit the jump to see the individual video that went into this mashup.
If you’ve surfed the Internet, you may have unsuspecting clicked a link that takes you to Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up”. You may have even been tricked with the Russian rickroll or seen the fantastic mashup, Never Gonna Give Your Teen Spirit Up.
Rockrolling is an obsession for some people, and YouTube user YeardlyDiamond1 found that he was always on the receiving end of the bait-and-switch. Intense hatred for the song eventually turned to love, and as a labour of love, he has created a very special music video for Astley’s famous tune. Liberty City plays host to an 80s party and the dancing talents of GTA IV’s Niko Bellic, Johnny Boy, and Double L take centre stage.
