Nyan cat viral video gets inside heads of viewers

nyan catIt may have taken the Internet by storm, but it’s just gone and taken my brain by storm too. I’m talking about the non-stop Nyan cat video.

Beware – this viral video will quickly embed itself into your head; the repetitive tune will continue to ring in your ears for a considerable period of time after you’ve banished it from your browser; the awful block graphics will imprint themselves onto your retinae. The truth is, you may never be the same again.

We’ve got a guy called Huy Hong to thank for this video. On his website is a picture of a cat – is this the Nyan cat? Anyway, the question isn’t so much, “What is a Nyan cat?” but more “How can this Nyan cat video have become such a hit?”

Within seconds of arriving at the Nyan cat webpage, your hand-eye coordination will be tested to the hilt. Instant panic is assured. You won’t know whether to look away, go for the power switch to execute an instant shutdown, or grab the mouse and “lower the volume.” Yes, sure, go for the “lower the volume” button and just see what happens….

The video even times how many seconds you manage to “Nyan” for, and you can tweet your score too. To enjoy endure the Nyan cat video, click here (at your own risk). It can be viewed in English, Catalan, Japanese and, of course, Nyan.

Two men sit and talk in Body of Lies.

Welcome to the week of Ridley Scott. The 86-year-old filmmaker's next movie is Gladiator II, the 29th feature film in his illustrious five-decade career. The sequel to the Oscar-winning Gladiator, Gladiator II stars Paul Mescal as Lucius, the former heir to the throne and son of Maximus (Russell Crowe) and Lucilla (Connie Nielsen). After Roman forces kill his wife and force him into slavery, Lucius trains to be a gladiator and sets his sights on exacting his vengeance against the Empire.

Gladiator II will definitely be an awesome theatrical experience. After seeing Gladiator II, why not revisit more projects in Scott's filmography?

Are you ready to get Glicked this weekend? No, I didn't call you a dirty name, that's the actual moniker being used for the simultaneous release of Wicked and Gladiator II.
