Security camera clips that make the news usually show bad things, but Coke decided to “look at the world a little differently” in this heartwarming viral video. They found security camera footage from around the world showing happy moments: people stealing kisses instead of possessions, dealing potato chips instead of drugs, and offering car assistance rather than road rage.

This, is amazing.

This is Matthais Steiner. He’s a German Olympic weightlifter in the highest weight category. He once made a promise to his wife, a promise that one day he would win a gold medal in the Olympics and be the strongest man in the world. He trained for years for this, and just a month before he would go on to compete, his wife tragically died in a car accident. In order to break the record, he’d need to lift 20 kilograms more than he’d ever lifted. This is the video of his attempt at the gold medal.

Fun fact: This was improvised. The building was meant to explode and come down in one go and the crew had one take to get it right. When the explosions malfunctioned, Ledger reacted in character, and Nolan urged his crew to keep filming. By pure chance, it resulted in one of the greatest moments in the movie, and a moment that perfectly showcased Joker’s anarchic nature and Ledger’s sheer talent.

You know how every now and then, you have a moment where our whole life stretches out ahead of you like a forked road, and even as you choose one gritty path you’ve got your eyes on the other the whole time, certain that you’re making a mistake?

I’m sure a lot of you have had this experience where you’re changing, you’re growing as a person, and people still tend to treat you like you were 18 months ago. And it’s really frustrating sometimes, when you’re growing up and you’re becoming more capable, and you’ve solved and gotten over some personality quirks, whatever it may be, and people still treat you like you were a year to 18 months ago. It can be very frustrating.

Surprise Visit of the Day: Christian Bale has arrived at Aurora, CO’s Swedish Medical Center to visit many of the recovering victims of last week’s tragic shooting.

A movement has been circulating on social media networks for Bale to appear as Batman, but it seems the actor made a tasteful choice to leave the cape and cowl at home. More pictures of the visit can be seen here.
