1. The Death of the Supercut - I love supercuts, the video meme, not the discount strip-mall hair-cutting establishment. No, I love the supercuts that occur when an “obsessive-compulsive superfan collects every phrase/action/cliche from an episode (or entire series) of their favorite show/film into a single massive video montage.” [thx waxy!]

    And while the supercut that catalogs Death Wish Deaths or Hitchcock Cameos might be safe from automation thus far, the days of the spoken word supercut are quickly coming to an end. Peep the video above, wherein Flickr user Bad Ankles demonstrates a process which utilizes a trio of programming languages to parse subtitles from the 2010 reboot of Predators and automatically play back all instances of the word “shit.”

    When art becomes automation, is it still art? Who gives a “shit.”
