This music video remake of Bonnie Tyler’s hit song popular in karaokes all over the world, “Total Eclipse of the Heart” provides today’s moment of levity. I mean, who doesn’t appreciate a dramatic full choir and moody LEGO characters?!

Earlier this summer I shared news that UK’s TOP GEAR host James May was building a house made entirely of Lego bricks. Well construction has gotten underway. Here’s a fun photo gallery update of the impressive progress so far. Maybe I was thinking a little too big and unrealistic when I heard the original announcement; I was a wee bit disappointed that it cheats with a wooden frame.

This short by Michael Hickox would be right in the middle of a Venn diagram overlapping LEGO, classic arcade games, and stop motion video, which are three popular trends lately in the blogosphere.

I don’t know if this is a symptom of the possibly disturbing revelation that I’ve never quite left my childhood in the past, but I’m of the opinion that anything recreated with LEGO equals instant amazingness and blog worthiness, such as these movie posters. And I think the most of the Internet seems to agree with my sentiment.

I could not be more excited for this news: LEGO in collaboration with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation is releasing a new line consisting of 6 buildings, including two of Wright’s most famous designs, “Falling Water” and the Guggenheim, although NPR’s Edward Lifson commented “I can’t believe that in the Lego set they include the Gwathmey Siegel addition to the Guggenheim! Heresy, I say. Who demanded that?”
