Internet picks of the week

Babelgum

The comedy section of US video portal Babelgum has several new creations that are more than worthy of your distraction. Celebrity Bric Brac features a bunch of drab porcelain figurines and car-boot trash that's brought to life by the voices of Morgan Freeman, Bill Cosby and Christopher Walken; a hilarious re-enactment of The Expendables finds the latter boasting "I've got a watch up my ass", while Freeman's china teddy bear is trapped in an internal monologue. Also great are Chad Vader – Darth's less sinister younger brother – and 8 Kilometers, "the gritty life story of Justin Bieber". Best of all, though, are Kanye's Tweets, in which a trio of tiny children re-enact the rapper's occasionally brilliant Twitter feed, such as his classic expression, "man ninjas are kinda coool … I just don't know any personally".

Scouting New York

Despite the fact that this site is slightly better if you actually live in New York, it's still fun for those of us who live 3,500 miles away. Nick Carr is a film location scout whose work has taken him from the tops of skyscrapers (Spider-Man 3) to the depths of the city (The Taking Of Pelham 123) to hundreds of forgotten alleyways and abandoned buildings. He spends his days scouring the city for interesting and unique locations, many of which he shares here. As well as uncovering dozens of buildings, odd spots and details missed by native New Yorkers, the favourites sections houses posts on the locations of classic NY-shot movies Ghostbusters, Taxi Driver and Rosemary's Baby with photos of the sites today alongside film stills.
