Bill Murray. Wanna know something about world travel? Holler at JayForce. Just saying. And as long as Bill’s paying, it can be another passport stamp!

Ok, enough. Promo stop, dropping in on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live,’ Mr. Murray probably talked up his movie “St. Vincent” (co-starring alongside Melissa McCarthy, Chris O’Dowd and Naomi Watts) … but in the clip, it’s all about Bill being spontaneous and traveling at the drop of a hat.

That hat though, by the way. Nice!

Technology: The World’s First Hoverboard (Video)

Okay, you’ve seen some really cool hoverboard demos that were actually cool feats at film technology (e.g. camera tricks, with famous actors ‘witnessing’ the hovering). This ain’t that. This is Hendo Hover’s genuine Kickstarter video. The future is now.

Coolest line: “The wheel may finally have some competition.”

…And the founders promise those who ‘kick in’ will get a ‘starter’ kit; allowing them to demo the technology themselves (not the board, but a ‘white box’ hoverer that shows what the board will accomplish). Watch above. Follow the link to help fund the campaign (below).

Yeah mane (in the Big K.R.I.T. voice)! K.R.I.T. in Philly to talk about the November dropping of his Cadillac-crashed-on-planet-Earth musical project (called “Cadillactica”). Nice interview. Convo about the concepts, reliance on outside production for the first time in his career; along with K.R.I.T.’s desire to score films, to discover the next David Ruffin… the beard… the sneaker chase… a lot of good going on in the near 11-minute clip above.

Chainsaw-Wielding Prankster Scares People In Parking Garage (Video)

Talk about a horror movie in real life (and we will, right now)!

Breathe. It’s a prank. Breathe. Nobody. Died.

(Breathe. But don’t try this prank in a stand-your-ground state with no camera crew… your SAG card will double as a toe tag… baaahahaaa!)

Internet pranksters Vitaly Zdorovetskiy and Nick Santonastasso send hapless passersby breaking the f#ck out (like you holler at folks in horror movies to do) when they come across a scene of murderous gore. The worst nightmarish 1-8-7s in progress

Its that time of the year again…Halloween..so I decided to team up with Nick Santonastasso to help me pull this brutal prank…This is definitely one of my favorites.

Vitaly Zdorovetskiy

Kinda mad that nobody thought about a rescue via vehicular manslaughter (um…meaning… hit that muthaf##ker with the car) though. Ha. And no smartphones? (Not to call for help; to cam and Instagram… c’mon, not one? Hahaa.)

Oh well, Happy Halloween everyone!

Audi Unveils the World’s Fastest Driverless Car with New ‘Audi RS 7’ (Video)

Hmmm. It’s okay to admit. When you think driverless car, you think top speed… about as fast as say… a golf cart. Tell you what. How about a German-engineered driving machine, with no driver, moving at full speed? How about at RACING speed; like on a racetrack? Yeah, that happened; the Audi RS 7 did a driverless lap at Hockenheim raceway! Watch.

Live From China: Dog Meat Festival (Documentary)

“It’s meaty… horribly, horribly meaty… mixed with that familiar doggy smell…”

Okay. Westerners may need to settle themselves and their stomachs. And open their minds. Yes. It’s just as you’d suspect: VICE is at a meat market (in the Chinese province of Yulin) where they butcher and sell dogs to lots and lots of people who eat them. You will hear shocking terms used… like tasty… and healthy…

No judgements. Okay, that’s bull… but watch the video expo though. It’s VICE, so you know the reporting will come at the story from a different perspective that might cause you to rethink. Compelling.

(Gotta say… the reporter, Izzy Yeung, is hella cute.)

In 2013, the Yulin festival gathered so much negative press that this year, the local government denied the Summer Solstice dog-eating tradition ever even existed. But that hasn’t stopped locals from celebrating—nor has it stopped die-hard activists from flooding the town in an attempt to rescue the dogs before the slaughter. VICE Reports headed to Yulin this year to get to the bottom of the most controversial festival in China.
