Every couple of years, like the Olympics or astronomy-based-end-of-the-world predictions, we get a new James Bond movie. And somehow, its theme song has become almost as much of an event as the movie release. Enter: Sam Smith's theme for Spectre — "The Writing's on the Wall."

The video is fine.

It inter-splices the bare minimum of the footage they can show pre-release and casts a moody shadow over the anticipation of Daniel Craig's return to the character. It also shows Sam Smith looking at ... something.



Like, what are you looking at, Sam?



Eyes over here, bud.

The song itself has split opinions with The New York Post calling it "boring and formulaic", where The New Yorker liked it just fine

Regardless, it's already been the first Bond theme to top the UK charts.

Granted, he's got a tough act to follow.

Adele's 2012 theme for Skyfall was widely received as the gold standard of Bond themes.

What do you think? Like it? Love it?

And a boy becomes a man.

The Biebs joined Rae Sremmurd on stage in New Zealand and got #turnt up. The singer is a big boy now. He's been trying to tell us all this for a while now, but no one seems to be listening.

As a bottle of Hennessy comes his way, the singer takes a big gulp like a big boy does.

Just look at that face. You are looking at a man.

Harry Potter fans can't really give the shirts off their backs to help a house elf, but they're getting close.

Dobby the house elf from the wizarding series of books has his own display in the Warner Bros. Studio tour, featuring him encased in glass, with his eyes closed for some reason.



Well intrepid, altruistic people saw a chance to free the little guy.

Vulture noticed the pictures and wrote about the impromptu jail break

Friends of the house elf have festooned one of his exhibit cases with their socks, a nod to both Dobby's HP story line, as well as the fact that house elves are granted independence if they are given an item of clothing.

People have been trying to free Dobby at the WB Studio Tour 😢 pic.twitter.com/qTduzDmZvu

J.K. Rowling retweeted the initial mention, because she has a Twitter problem, and the idea began to spread.

@HogwartsLogic @jk_rowling I did the same in Paris haha !! :-) #freedomforDobby pic.twitter.com/QeuuFFPdJw

So, basically, if you go on the Warner Bros. Studio tour and it smells bad, you know why.

Look, Tom Hanks doesn't really need to work these days.

He's done plenty in the last 30 years to bring America charm and delight in a big, friendly package.
Even though it it looks like he's got some movies coming down the pike he hasn't acted in one since 2013's Saving Mr. Banks.

So, he's got time on his hands.

This was evidenced by his unexpected appearance answering questions all over Reddit earlier this week.

Well, apparently, he had some more questions that he wanted answers.

Stephen Colbert is in a different, though still not less-inquisitive, boat.

After months of build up, his show is finally chugging along at a steady clip and he's probably starting to get into the routine of the whole affair.

Focused so intently on the goal, once its accomplished, he's probably feeling a jet lag of emotions rushing at him, calling into question where he is and what he's doing.

So the two decided to lay back on a blanket and ask those questions to themselves.

It's very funny.

What happens when Jimmy Kimmel Live asks Hillary Clinton supporters what they think of Donald Trump's tax plan disguised as Clinton's platform?

They prove to be idiots, that's what.

Someone took a big sip of Go-Go Juice and decided that it would be a good idea for Honey Boo Boo to make her music debut.

This person is a monster that should be forced to eat a big bowl of sketti.

Boo Boo is joined by her sister "Pumpkin" and "viral video artist" Adam Barta (no one has ever heard of this man) for one trainwreck of a music video.

The chorus encourages everyone to do the *Honey Boo Boob Bop. *Please don't do the Honey Boo Boo Bop.

On a more encouraging note, Mama June and Sugar Bear both appear in the video dancing awkwardly together! Could the flame of love be rekindled? If not, love is dead and there is no hope.

Will Leo finally get that Oscar? Come on, Academy. He had to fight a GD bear.

We've got to go back — to the golf course!

With the quick approach of Oct. 21 2015, which is the final date in Back to the Future 2, it seems like many people are looking to commemorate the event.

A team led by David and Vicki Heykants, John Perrin and Lucas Evanochko created this beautiful contraption to auction of for the Red Deer College's 30th Annual Golf Classic.

As they say in the videos description:

During a time of hoverboards and PhunkeeDucks, it only makes sense that we see a DeLorean golf cart.

...The only things missing are the gull-wing doors.

Detailed on the team's website, they show off the flux capacitor and the Mr. Fusion power source in the back. This thing has everything.

Take a look at a video of the whole beautiful thing:

Things got a bit crazy at Katy Perry's 'Rock in Rio' concert.

The star invited up to the stage a very excited woman named Rayane who proceeded to kiss Katy's neck, nuzzle her b00bs and slap her on the butt.

Rayane, or "Rairairairai" as Katy called her, did give some very valuable Portuguese lessons though.

Pizza is apparently the same in English as Portuguese. Pizza brings everyone together.

Do you still believe? Do you still want to believe?

Well here's further proof that The X-Files really is coming back to television in January.

It's not as good as the full thing, but it's a whole heck of a lot better than the measly 15 seconds of trailer that FOX previously gave us.

And it's way better than when FOX wanted you to watch an ad before letting you see a few seconds of the upcoming six-episode miniseries.

So, are you ready? Can you wait?

If you need help remembering just what the hell was going on when the original series ended in 2002, what with the smoking man and the aliens and the what not, you can find that right here.

Enough of our yapping, get to watching!
