So I finally watched the movie horny millennials are obsessed with.


Admittedly, I saw 365 Days because I read somewhere that it has plenty of graphic sex scenes. It's Poland's version of Fifty Shades of Grey, and like the Fifty Shades franchise, the movie is based on a novel.

It tells the story of a young woman who is kidnapped and imprisoned by a mafia boss and gives her 365 days to fall in love with him. The scenes are acted badly and the plot is held together by so many nonsensical strings that it turns into a two-hour comedy. But if you're into BDSM, voyeurism, softcore porn, and you find Stockholm syndrome sexy, you might just enjoy this really awful rip-off.

Who's responsible? Directors Barbara Białowąs and Tomasz Mandes, author Blanka Lipinska, an unholy alliance of E. L. James fans, including producers Maciej Kawulski and Ewa Lewandowska.

Gilbert Legrand turns mundane stuff into delightful characters

Gilbert Legrand doesn't see the world like the rest of us. You see a scrubbing brush, he sees an Apache chief. You see a a pair of scissors, he sees smooching lovers. The French artist's imagination is so wild and unrestricted that he can turn the most ordinary objects into unexpected sources of delight. I just spent half an hour lurking on his website, and you should, too.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

The Salimbaa

Here's a strange tribal instrument I never heard of before now. Originally from the Tinananon tribe of southern Philippines, the bowl-shaped Salimbaa is made of metal and wood, has 30 bronze wound strings, and is played using two small sticks.  Caleb Byerly, who makes lost/extinct musical tools in his North Carolina workshop, has an interesting story on how he made his first Salimbaa.
