Interesting online diversions: Nestflix, Wine Project, Bodega Cats

I love the fact that people can express their creativity on the World Wide Web. Whether its videos on YouTube or TikTok, niche photo accounts on Twitter and Instagram, or making dedicated websites, people have a lot of outlets to express themselves.
What follows are some of the interesting websites and accounts that I’ve come across in recent months.

Nestflix

Phoenix-based web designer Lynn Fisher created a website full of fake movies and TV shows that were depicted in actual movies and TV shows. The website is modeled after Netflix and called Nestflix because the fake movies and TV shows are “nested” within real productions.
Examples include “Angels with Filthy Souls” from “Home Alone” and “The Rural Juror” from “30 Rock.”

Wine Project

Brazilian photographer Marcos Alberti made a project that photographed people after one, two and three glasses of wine. The Wine Project shows how the alcoholic beverage lowers people’s inhibitions and lets them relax and have fun.

Sebcolorisation

Paris-based digital artist Sébastien de Oliveira brings old black-and-white photos to life using Photoshop to colorize them. The result is like being transported to the past to witness a scene as it happens. He specializes in street scenes from the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s. He posts his photos on an Instagram account called Sebcolorisation.

Bodega Cats

A Street Cat Named Benson

Rescued from the streets of Dubai, Benson the cat became Insta-famous when he was adopted and brought to the U.S. His human companions dress him up in costumes and the handsome, patient kitty is happy to oblige. The photos are posted to the Instagram account A Street Cat Named Benson.

Brands Against Humanity

Ellie Daghlian and Elisa Czerwenka, a creative team at Uncommon London, made a card game about corporate greed called Brands Against Humanity. It’s a parody of the game Cards Against Humanity. It highlights the real misdeeds of major companies such as Amazon, Coca-Cola and DuPont.

Mr. Skin

While I’m not a customer of Mr. Skin, I admire the website’s meticulous chronicling of movie nude scenes.
The website recently commemorated its 22nd year in business with a list of history’s 22 Sexiest Screen Sirens. Salma Hayek was No. 1, followed by Eva Green, Pam Grier, Helen Mirren and Charlize Theron.
