A New Trailer For ‘John Wick: Chapter 2’ Is Here & It Looks Like Absolute Crazy Town

$
0
0

John Wick was one of the biggest cinematic surprises I’ve ever experienced. What I thought would be a totally awful B-movie starring Keanu Reeves turned out to be one of the most kickass action movies I’d seen in some time. It also took place in my home state of New Jersey, which carries some serious brownie points.

In John Wick 2, “legendary hitman John Wick is forced back out of retirement by a former associate plotting to seize control of a shadowy international assassins guild. Bound by a blood oath to help him, John travels to Rome, where he squares off against some of the world’s deadliest killers.”

John Wick: Chapter 2 stars Keanu Reeves, Common, Bridget Moynahan, Ian McShane, and John Leguizamo. It is directed by Chad Stahelski, and will be released in theaters on February 10, 2017.


Apple AirPods Reviews: Must-See Details, Hands-On & Video

AirPods Reviews

CNET

Much to the disappointment of many, Apple‘s newly released iPhone 7 had one design element that was widely considered to be flawed: no more 3.5mm headphone jack. People responded to this change with outrage, and others looked hopeful in finding what this new technology could bring them in the future. The Apple AirPods are that new technology that attempts to bring something new to the table in the absence of the beloved headphone jack, and it seems to be a pretty cool thing so far.

The Apple AirPods were released on December 13, 2016 in North America, and they were released in the UK just today. Unfortunately for the average consumer, these neat little wireless headphones ask for a hefty price on launch at $159 or £159 respectively, which is a bit steeper than in the US. The Apple AirPods are also going to be released in many other countries, so no matter where you are, chances are that you can pick these up… if the supply wasn’t so limited. Today, the UK launch was met with small amounts of AirPods to sell to consumers, and they effectively sold out in minutes. This is unfortunate for any average consumer who might be interested in picking up the new tech for a Christmas present, but Apple does plan on shipping out more units at a later date, so hopefully the problem can be rectified.

For now, though, what are people saying about the new Apple AirPods? Originally, when they were first announced, I remembered critics and consumers alike being scared for the future of Apple with no headphone jack. It’s a bit silly, but most people claimed that they would not be buying the new iPhone 7. There were also remarks about how wireless headphones were impractical because of the small size, and that consumers would easily lose or break them. Today, we can see that many people have already purchased the device and that the Apple AirPods are next in line.


Apple’s AirPods Reviews

CONSENSUS: The Apple AirPods work well and serve their function, but they’re more of a new toy for Siri than they are for music. They also look kind of silly.


Macworld

“The AirPods have good battery life and great sound, and the integration with iOS can’t be beat, but if you listen to your music with third-party apps, Siri is only half as helpful as she could be.”


Digital Trends

“Simple and reliable, Apple’s AirPods are the best fully wireless earbuds.”


TechRadar

“AirPods look and feel just like those familiar EarPods – minus the cable – and their play-and-pause connectivity is so intelligently designed, it’s enough to bring back the “magical” descriptor.”


Wired

“Right now, you can get better-sounding wireless headphones for the same price or less. They’ll fit better, look better, work better. If you buy the AirPods you’re buying them for being really, ridiculously convenient, and not much else.”


The Verge

“For now, they seem like classic Apple design — simple, and well-integrated into the the iPhone experience.”

Note: The Verge did a first look video below, when the AirPods were originally scheduled for an October release but were delayed to the aforementioned dates.


Engadget

“If you’re reading this, Apple, this was a solid first attempt. Don’t give up on the concept, because I believe future AirPods could be great.”


Pocket-Lint

“They are really clever in terms of functionality and sound isolation for voice calls, whether you like the look of them or not.”

The seventh week of the college basketball season has quietly arrived, and the AP released their rankings for this week’s Top 25. There weren’t any teams that fell out of the Top 25 this week, but the Carolinas (North and South) were two of the notable teams that fell in the rankings down to numbers eight and 22 respectively. I don’t put too much stock into North Carolina’s loss to Kentucky on Saturday because Kentucky is one of the better teams in the country, and freshman guard Malik Monk played out of his mind and dropped 47 points on the Tarheels. Villanova comes into this week still at the top of the rankings, followed by UCLA, Kansas, Baylor, and Duke for a second consecutive week. Here’s how the rest of the Top 25 shaped out this week:

Mevlut Mert Altintas has been identified as the assassin who shot and killed Andrei Karlov, the Russian ambassador to Turkey, at an art exhibit opening on Monday evening. The event was held at the Contemporary Art Gallery in Ankara’s central Çankaya district.

The assassination was aired on live television, as Altintas surprised everyone when he pulled out a gun and shot Ambassador Karlov multiple times at point-blank distance. The killer was heard yelling things about Aleppo, including, “We die in Aleppo, you die here,” before he was eventually neutralized by Ankara Police special forces.


Who Is Mert Altintas?

Mert was a member of the Ankara Police, a special operations unit that dealt with riots. He was born in 1994 in Aydin, Soke. He’s been active in the police since 2014.

Sweet baby Jesus. I’m as hard as a yule log right now. I don’t know if my love for Christmas is clouding my judgement, but Gigi’s performance was easily one of my favorites in this glorious series. And for the record, “Feliz Navidad” is a top 10 Christmas song of all-time, and I’ll beat anybody’s ass who disagrees like their name is Scott Farkus.

Because it’s the season for giving, here are the previous Applebaum videos that we’ve covered at COED. If he doesn’t win an Oscar this year, the entire academy needs to be thrown into a loony bin.

And to prove that this was no fluke from Gigi, here are some of her best photos. Her consistency in being blistering hot can only be matched by the Sahara.

Abigail Rubemeyer Was An Interior Designer For Three Years, Has Already Accomplished More Than You & Me Combined

Abigail Rubemeyer

While I sit on my couch binge-watching HGTV and dreaming about one day having my own interior design show, Abigail is out there actually making it happen. OK, maybe she doesn’t have her own show, but she is designing commercial real-estate spaces and condos. For three years, the now senior at George Mason University was an interior designer, and all I can think is ‘how???’ In high school, I was selling women’s shoes at Macy’s part-time and she’s doing the work of a full-time trained professional.

It’s pretty safe to say that at just 20-years-old, Abigail is killin’ it. After graduation, she hopes to get into real estate investing and backpack across Europe…BRB while I contemplate all of my life decisions up until now.

Get to know more about Abigail below, and be sure to check back daily as we get to know each of our Miss COED 2017 semifinalists a bit better.


Who do you look up to the most and why?

Without a doubt, the person I look up to the most is my mom. Since I can remember, we’ve always been so close, and as cliche as it sounds, I wouldn’t be where I am today without her endless love and constant support. We’ve been through just about everything together; she’s my biggest fan and greatest teacher. We even have matching tattoos! Haha. She taught me how to love and live life to the fullest. She’s the most incredible cook, and I swear she can make a gourmet dinner out of anything; I certainly miss that in DC. Going away to college was a big decision, especially hundreds of miles away, but she has encouraged me to follow my dreams and since then, I have truly gained a greater appreciation for life. She’s my hero, role model, and my greatest inspiration.

Name one thing on your bucket list.

I dream of traveling the world one day, and so one thing on my bucket list is to backpack across Europe! Your whole life you hear about these places and the cultures, but not many people actually get to experience it. I think backpacking Europe would be an eye-opening experience and truly impactful to see all that this world has to offer. From the architecture of Rome to the history in Venice, to the different foods and ways of life in each city, I think backpacking would be the most incredible way to begin experiencing the world.

Give your BFF a shoutout! What’s his/her name and how long have you been besties?

Well, here it is Savannah! I met Savannah my junior year of high school at the Washington Journalism and Media Conference; however, it wasn’t until the following year when we were both selected as interns that we became best friends. From the first night we met, bonding as we were in tears laughing at the Gymnastic Fails on Youtube, to the countless memories we have shared since, you truly are my best friend. It’s not every day, if even in your lifetime, that you find your soulmate in your best friend. Looking back over these last three years, I truly couldn’t imagine living them without you. Thank you for always standing beside me, for believing in me, and for truly being the best friend I could have ever asked for. When words become enough to tell you what you mean to me, I’ll be sure to let you know. Love you always, Sav.

Do you have any secret talents?

A [semi]-secret talent that I have would be that I love to design, paint and draw. I worked as an interior designer for three years and got to assist in designing condo spaces, commercial spaces and seasonal decorations for reputable orthopedic centers. I have also always loved to draw and paint in any free time that I have; I find it relaxing and a great way to free my mind.

In addition to drawing and painting, Abigail is also very passionate about Breast Cancer Education and Awareness. As a proud sister of Zeta Tau Alpha, she’s become an advocate and volunteer for Breast Cancer Education and Awareness, her sorority’s national philanthropy.

How does your sorority, ZTA, help promote Breast Cancer Education and Awareness?

ZTA promotes Breast Cancer Education and Awareness through campus events, service projects, community outreach, workshops and fundraisers! While the month of October is one of our busiest yet most rewarding months, we host events all year around. Some of our favorite events include Big Man on Campus, a male beauty pageant where contestants compete in talent and dress. Some other favorites are our Think Pink Fashion Show and Pink Out Flag Football Tournament. These events have allowed us to raise both awareness and money for this foundation on campus and in our community. In the month of October alone we were so excited to have raised over $10,000! 

What have you done personally for Breast Cancer Education and Awareness, and what is the most rewarding part?

One of my favorite events ZTA participates in would have to be the Crucial Catch Game. Not many people know, but ZTA is partnered with the National Football League (NFL)! This began in 1999 with the Washington Redskins for the very first National Football League Think Pink Game. Through this partnership and with the help of dedicated volunteers, ZTA now distributes over a million breast cancer awareness pink ribbons each year at NFL stadiums across the country! It has been an incredible way to join with sisters from local chapters for a common cause. From this event, I have met survivors, families of survivors, and even those battling breast cancer right now. Since the start of this partnership, the NFL has allowed players to wear pink for the games, created pink team merchandise and together we have truly raised awareness for this incredible cause. 

The most rewarding part about working with Zeta Tau Alpha foundation is seeing the impact that we can make. ZTA is currently partnered with the American Cancer Society, National Football League and Bright Pink. Through these partnerships, ZTA has not only been able to raise awareness for breast cancer, but has been able to educate ourselves and the community on this disease. “1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in the U.S.“, and “1 in 4 women will be affected by breast cancer in some way.” Furthermore, breast cancer not only affects women but it can, and does affect men as well. Through ZTA I have been able to help fundraise, educate and raise awareness with hopes that soon we will find a cure and that one day, it will be gone.

How can someone help if they aren’t a member of ZTA?

Raising awareness begins with one motion, and while ZTA works to raise money and awareness, anyone can get involved! Whether that be attending the next Crucial Catch game at your local stadium next fall, wearing pink in October (or every month!), or donating through our ZTA Theta Chi philanthropy donation link. Awareness begins with one person, but with some help, can impact the world.

Vida Guerra’s Instagram

After stumbling across Vida Guerra’s latest photo shoot, I was inspired to compile a gallery of her hottest photos on the internet. It’s the very least I could do for such a legend in the modeling and hip hop industries.

It’s ridiculous how goddamn amazing Vida looks for being 42-years-old. The exotic stunner from Havana, Cuba is the definition of timeless, as her majestic backside is a classic that will never go out of style. She’s pretty much The Godfather of models known for having spectacular butts.

From gracing the pages of magazines like Playboy and FHM, to stealing the show in music videos such as Nelly, P. Diddy, and Murphy Lee’s “Shake Ya Tailfeather” and Kanye West‘s “The New Workout Plan,” to blowing minds of a new generation of fans on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, Vida has had herself one helluva career.

So without further ado, let’s celebrate Vida still having her fastball by taking a look at some of her hottest photos.

So does the United States deliver mail on Christmas Day? No, mail is not delivered on Christmas. No, I could not sugar coat it any other way, sorry. You’ll have enough sugar come the holidays, trust me. Unless your dietary restrictions advise you not to, then my bad. But I devised a strategy to help make delivering packages simplified.


Here are some deadlines to follow to make sure packages arrive on time:

  • December 15 — USPS Retail Ground™
  • December 20 — First-Class Mail®
  • December 21 — Priority Mail®
  • December 23 — Priority Mail Express®

All post offices and federal offices will be closed this Christmas, as well as the following day, Monday. Here is a list of carriers that will not be delivering mail, including their holiday schedules:


Some additional holidays on which mail is not delivered include:

  • New Year’s Day
  • Christmas
  • Labor Day
  • Independence Day (July 4th)
  • President’s Day
  • Martin Luther King Jr. Day
  • Columbus Day
  • Memorial Day

This might serve as a big holiday reminder not to save getting those presents for the last minute. Get it done!

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Christmas Market Truck Crash In Germany: Full Story & Details

German Christmas Market Truck Crash

A truck ran into a Christmas market Monday evening in Berlin during what police describe as a “severe incident.” There were no immediate details on injuries however, it is now being reported that there are at least nine people dead and at least 50 injured.

German newspapers Berliner Zeitung and Berliner Morgenpost reported that the truck ran into the market at Breitscheidplatz, which is near the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church. Both newspapers reported it wasn’t immediately clear whether the incident was an accident or some kind of terrorist attack, however, police on the scene are saying their initial investigations lead them to believe it was a deliberate attack. Similarly, one witness cited by CNN said, “It didn’t feel like it was an accident.”

Via Reuters:

Local media, citing police at the scene, said first indications pointed to an attack on the market, situated near the fashionable Kurfuerstendamm avenue and at the foot of the ruined Kaiser Wilhelm memorial church that was kept as a ruin after World War Two.

The incident evoked memories of an attack in France in July when Tunisian-born Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel drove a 19-tonne truck along the beach front, mowing down people who had gathered to watch the fireworks on Bastille Day, killing 86 people.

The company that owns the truck is a Polish company named Ariel Zurawski, named after the company’s owner. There were two men in the truck cab, one fled and another has been arrested. A third man, previously unknown to police, was found dead inside the cab. There’s a high probability that the dead man is Ariel’s cousin. Read this quote from the businessman, who claims that he last spoke to his cousin around noon, here:

“According to me, they did something to the driver, hijacked the truck and they did what they did. This wasn’t my driver. I vouch for him, he was my cousin.”

Berlin Christmas Market Truck Crash

A truck crashed into a Berlin Christmas market on Monday night, injuring multiple people and likely killing more. Many people are wondering whether it’s an attack or just an accident, but the answers aren’t 100% clear right now. German police are now suggesting that it looks like a terrorist attack.

From what we’ve read, witnesses say the truck jumped the curb of the sidewalk near the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, where the Christmas Village was set up. The Village itself is actually located in Breitscheidplatz, the largest city center in Berlin, making it the largest Christmas village in the city.

Update–3:49 P.M.: Ariel Żurawski, the owner of the company that owns the truck, just made a public statement alleging that he believes that the truck was hijacked. “According to me, they did something to the driver, hijacked the truck and they did what they did. This wasn’t my driver. I vouch for him, he was my cousin.”

Unfortunately, this would match the story that police are now making public: that there was a man found dead inside the truck.

Update–3:34 P.M.: Police say that two men were inside the truck and that both men fled. One has been arrested.

Update–3:38 P.M.: The tweet below reads “A suspect has been arrested & a passenger is dead.” It’s unclear if the passenger is a suspect or otherwise.

The media reports that the truck has a Polish license plate. Reuters now reports that at least nine people have died and that 50 have been injured.

The story is still developing, but we’re adding updates as frequently as possible. Check the link below for more details.

A truck ran into a Christmas market Monday evening in Berlin during what police describe as a “severe incident.” Reports indicate that the truck was moving at about 40 MPH, and there are nine people dead, as well as at least 50 people injured. German police say initial indications from their investigation lead them to believe the crash was a deliberate attack. Similarly, one witness cited by CNN said, “It didn’t feel like it was an accident.” The driver of the truck is now in police custody after initially fleeing the scene, while a passenger in the cab died in the crash.

German newspapers Berliner Zeitung and Berliner Morgenpost reported that the truck ran into the market at Breitscheidplatz, which is near the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church. Both newspapers reported that it wasn’t immediately clear whether the incident was an accident or some kind of terrorist attack. However, now local media, citing police at the scene, are saying that first indications point to an attack on the market.

The incident is similar to the attack in France in July when Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel drove his truck into a crowd that had gathered to watch the fireworks on Bastille Day, killing 86 people.

The owner of the truck is a Polish man named Ariel Zurawski. There were two men in the truck cab–one fled and another has been arrested. A third man, previously unknown to police, was found dead inside the cab. There’s a high probability that it’s Ariel’s dead cousin, who was driving the truck originally. Read this quote from the businessman, who claims that he last spoke to his cousin around noon, here:

“According to me, they did something to the driver, hijacked the truck and they did what they did. This wasn’t my driver. I vouch for him, he was my cousin.”

Berlin police have advised residents to “stay at home” and urged people not to spread rumors.


Is ISIS responsible for the truck crash at the Berlin Christmas Market?

German police say initial indications from their investigation lead them to believe that the crash was a deliberate attack. Of the two men in the truck’s cab, one has been arrested. Whether ISIS is directly responsible or not has yet to be confirmed. The owner of the truck is a Polish man named Ariel Zurawski. There were two men in the truck cab–one fled and another has been arrested. A third man, previously unknown to police, was found dead inside the cab.

Google Daydream: Top 5 Best VR Apps Available Right Now

Google Daydream Games

Instagram @3dvirtualreality

Virtual reality is an incredible new platform that nearly every video game manufacturer is hopping on board with. It seems that we can do just about anything in VR already and most of the biggest names in gaming headsets have only just thrown their devices into the fray within the last few months.

Though most (especially me) are excited about shooting zombies and piloting space-fighters in the far reaches of the galaxy, VR is about more than just gaming. The future is here and, with the help of some other budding tech, virtual reality will let us explore and experience things that were thought impossible before.

Here is a list of some of the best apps available on the Daydream platform right now.


YouTube VR

Ok, so YouTube has been around for years… over a decade now, actually. It’s nice to see that a tool that nearly everyone uses has found a way to take its services into the future by adding VR support. Owners of VR devices can now watch 360-degree videos without having to click around with the mouse. By simply turning one’s head a viewer can explore videos like never before, putting you in the scene and immersing you completely in the experience. Obviously, the videos have to be filmed with a 360-degree camera in order to utilize the VR device, but the number of videos available is already impressive and more are added daily.


Star Chart VR

Star Chart is another cross-platform VR experience that is now available for Google Daydream. The app lets you look straight up at the sky at any time of day and allows you to see every star and constellation as if it were the middle of the darkest night. By turning your head you can focus on different star clusters and the app will reveal information about the constellation and even show a nifty, little graphic depicting the inspiration for its name. This app was cool before it had VR capabilities, but it’s even cooler when you don the VR gear and move your head during this relaxing and educational experience.


Google Street View VR

Google Street View could have been passed up for VR support. It is, after all, just an extension of Google Maps, right? Whether it’s a testament to VR’s implicit fun or something about Street View I missed the first time around, Google Street View VR has taken the app to new levels. Curious about what the Trevi Fountain looks like up close in Rome? Turning your head around the space will have you digging into your pockets looking for a coin to toss in. Never seen Big Ben? With Google Daydream you can almost feel the damp chill of England’s capital as you stare up at the giant clock. It’s a ton of fun to come up with new places to visit and, with Google’s dedication to having every street in the world available to see on their app, there is certainly a lifetime of content.


The Wall Street Journal VR

I’ll be honest. I do not read The Wall Street Journal. But the new app makes me want to invest every last penny just so I can see the pretty, 3D stock charts in The Wall Street Journal VR app. It’s not all about money in this VR experience, though. The app provides subscribers with all of the same material they would get in the regular digital or hard copies of the journal. It even goes so far as to provide 360 video for many of their videos, as well. The app adds to the immersive experience by placing you in an upscale New York apartment while you read stories and follow your trades. It’s a nice touch that will truly bring out the wealthy day-trader in all of us.


The Turning Forest

The Turning Forest is an interesting, little app. While it does feature some interactivity, I hesitate to call it a game. The BBC produced title drops you into a lush and colorful outdoor space and, as you look around at the gorgeous flora and fauna, a narrator welcomes you into a world of wonder. I won’t spoil anything else as The Turning Forest is a somewhat narrative experience, but suffice it to say, you will travel to beautiful and far away places. I can totally see this app paving the way for an entirely new form of worthwhile narrative experiences that were, until now, impossible to conceive.

2016 was a rough year. We had Zika, Brexit, a bunch of terrible deaths to musicians, actors, and a noble gorilla, and to top it all off, we elected an orange jackass to be our next President. 2016 was full of catastrophes from start to finish, but at least we had some incredibly hot photo shoots to distract us from going to hell in a handbasket. These shoots were the silver lining to this unmitigated disaster of a year.

We meticulously dug through photo shoot after photo shoot of practically naked, insanely beautiful women to bring our readers this post. It wasn’t an easy job, but our commitment to closing the year out in style knows no bounds. From Margot Robbie in Vogue, to Stella Maxwell in Maxim, to Charlotte McKinney in GQ Mexico, to Emily Ratajkowski in Harper’s Bazaar, to Hailey Clauson in Sports Illustrated, all of your favorite ladies in their sexiest shoots are here.

Pour yourself a stiff drink, crank up A Tribe Called Quest’s final album, and enjoy the hottest photo shoots of 2016.

WATCH: Little Kids Are Terrified Of ‘Elf On The Shelf’

A father busted out The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition, and his kids proceeded to have a total meltdown. Watch the elf scare the bejesus out of the young children.

Goddamn, they really aren’t fans of Elf on the Shelf. You would’ve thought their dad was getting ready to sic a Chucky doll on them or something. While their reactions were definitely over-the-top, I can’t blame them for not liking that creepy ass snitch.

I never understood how the hell this became such a popular tradition in the first place. It’s already off-putting enough that Santa “sees you when you’re sleeping.” And now, we’re supposed to deal with midgets chilling on shelves, getting their voyeurism on? What a crock of Big Brother bullshit.

If someone tried to put one of those things in my house, it’d get tossed into a garbage disposal so fast it’d make your head spin. Report that back to Santa, ya f*cking weirdo.

When it comes to NFL cheerleaders wearing sexy costumes, Halloween is the first thing that pops in my head. But don’t let that admittedly great holiday get all of the glory in regards to cheerleaders adding some variety to their usual outfits. Christmas just threw its hat into the ring with a statement-making performance.

This past Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders wore unreal Santa costumes for their Week 15 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If Mrs. Claus looked half as attractive as these young ladies, Santa’s golly ass would never leave the North Pole.

Dallas went on to beat Tampa Bay 26-20 to extend their record to a sterling 12-2, and I’d gladly live in a Salvation Army kettle for Ezekiel Elliott to play on my team. But while we all can’t be fans of the Cowboys, we all can enjoy these fantastic pictures of their cheerleaders. We are all winners today, my friends.

Panthers vs. Redskins: Watch Monday Night Football Live Stream

Week 15 of the NFL season comes to a close tonight as the Carolina Panthers visit the Washington Redskins for some Monday Night Football. The Redskins own a 4-2 record at home this season, and the Panthers are 1-5 on the road. This is the 13th all-time meeting between the Redskins and Panthers, with Carolina winning the last 5.

The Redskins (7-5-1) are out of the race to win the NFC East, but are still in the thick of the NFC wild-card race. With the Green Bay Packers winning this weekend, Washington needs a win to keep pace. Kirk Cousins, since starting off the season slowly, has thrown for 4,045 yards, 23 touchdowns and only 9 interceptions. After signing a one-year-deal in the offseason, look for Cousins to cash in on a huge contract after this season is over.

As for the Panthers, they are playing for nothing more than pride at this point. The Panthers, who went 15-1 last season before losing in the Super Bowl to the Denver Broncos are currently sitting at 5-8. The defense hasn’t been the same as last season due to the loss of Josh Norman and other various injuries, while the offense has looked like a shell off their former selves.
