If ever there was a time capsule of the pop music landscape
of 2011, it’s DJ Earworm’s ‘United State of Pop 2011 World Go Boom’ mash up.
The DJ seamlessly and flawlessly smashed the most familiar,
popular and beloved songs of 2011, ranging from Lady Gaga‘s ‘Born This Way’ to
Rihanna‘s ‘We Found Love’ to Nicki Minaj‘s ‘Super Bass’ in one fell swoop. Not sure how DJ Earworm does what he does in the space of five minutes, but
he managed to thread a year’s worth of tunes into a compact song. Bravo, bravo.
Of course, he engages in a little shameless self-promotion
in the video, such as superimposing the phrase ‘Who the hell is DJ Earworm’
t-shirt on Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine, along with having his name permanently
inked on RiRi’s firm, round patoot.
Some of the songs that Earworm cycled through in this mix
include Pitbull‘s ‘Give Me Everything’; Katy Perry‘s ‘Last Friday Night,’
‘E.T.’ and ‘Firework’; Britney Spears‘ ‘Till the World Ends’; Adele‘s ‘Rolling
in the Deep’ and ‘Someone Like You’; Cee Lo Green‘s ‘Forget You’; Maroon 5‘s
‘Moves Like Jagger’ with Christina Aguilera; Lupe Fiasco‘s ‘The Show Goes On’;
and many more. [Text re-posted from Popcrush.com]
DJ Earworm made some changes in his song selection process 2011. In efforts to better reflect the year, he created a system that
drew from the weekly charts from throughout 2011 that ensures that all the
late-breaking hits, such as “We Found Love” & “Sexy and I Know It”, were
included in the 2011 mix.

Last year, DJ Earworm whose real name is Jordan Roseman brought "Don't Stop the Pop" as a theme. He mashed up hit singles by Ke$ha, Lady Antebellum, Train, Usher, B.o.B, Eminem, Taio Cruz, Mike Posner, Travis McCoy, Iyaz, Jay-Z and Jason Derulo. Artists like GaGa, Riri, Katy and Bruno, who are on this year's list, were included as well.
What began in 1929 when Belgium’s Georges Remi, better known
as “Hergé”,started writing and illustrating a regular comic strip, Tin
Tin has entertained young and old alike worldwide for decades. Each
serialized story was published in book form.
Tintin : Secret of the Unicornby ~Barukurii - DeviantArt
Storyline:
Having bought a model ship, the Unicorn, for a pound off a market
stall Tintin is initially puzzled that the sinister Mr. Sakharine should
be so eager to buy it from him, resorting to murder and kidnapping
Tintin - accompanied by his marvellous dog Snowy - to join him and his
gang as they sail to Morocco on an old cargo ship.
Ivan Ivanovitch Sakharine: a collector of model ships
Sakharine has bribed
the crew to revolt against the ship's master, drunken Captain Haddock,
but Tintin, Snowy and Haddock escape, arriving in Morocco at the court
of a sheikh, who also has a model of the Unicorn.
Captain Haddock“gruff, capable of expansive gestures and prone occasionally to minor mishaps.” Herge
Haddock tells Tintin
that over three hundred years earlier his ancestor Sir Francis Haddock
was forced to scuttle the original Unicorn when attacked by a piratical
forebear of Sakharine but he managed to save his treasure and provide
clues to its location in three separate scrolls, all of which were
secreted in models of the Unicorn. Tintin and Sakharine...

The story of this film actually combines several of the Tintin
books: ’The Crab with the Golden Claws’ (in which Tintin befriends
Haddock and saves him from smugglers) and the two-parter ‘The Secret of
the Unicorn’ and ‘Red Rackham’s Treasure’ [which is the core of the
story about the search for the lost treasure]. There are also some very
small elements and secondary characters from other stories too, but as
far as taking liberties that’s where Spielberg stopped.
Everything else
is precisely how the Belgian creator, Hergé had imagined it: with that
same sense of adventure, mystery, intrigue, action and fun. In other
words the same mood and atmosphere that made the comics so successful
[at least in Europe] and incidentally, in a way those same elements
that were also at the centre of one of Spielberg’s classic, Raiders of the lost ark. [MovieGeekBlog]

It’s not surprising that Hergé himself, after seeing that film back in 1981 thought Spielberg was the only person who could ever do Tintin justice.
Spielberg pays homage to Tintin’s creator right from the start, not
just in the beautifully design title sequence (reminiscent of the one
from Catch Me If You Can), where he show us so many elements from all
Tintin stories, not just in the colour palette he chooses for the
cinematography of the film or in the way each character’s face looks,
but he even goes as far as having Hergé himself appearing as a street
artist drawing a portrait of Tintin the way we are used to see him in
the comics. [MovieGeekBlog]
