?I Want My Money?

April 21, 2007 – 10:13 pm

My nephew checked his email while he was here this morning and this was the first thing in his inbox. Maybe it’s because he’s 17 and my humor is at about the same level, but both of us were cracking up over it.
Miserable attempt at recovering my dignity with serious criticism: Will Farrell and landlord [...]

Flipbook Animation

October 13, 2006 – 2:12 pm

I love this flipbook animation on YouTube (jump ahead to about 3:05 for it), even if the live-action preface is somewhat tiresome. And even with that, it still doesn’t rate as bad as some viewers think it is.
This is the ?making of? / behind-the-scenes sneak peak at my upcoming movie ?Annihilation?.
I had hoped to finish [...]

Top Gun: A Requiem For Goose

September 8, 2006 – 12:26 pm

TeamTigerAwesome’s Top Gun: A Requiem For Goose is more than funny, it’s the sort of thing a person should mine for insults and one-liners to use later. Of course, the recent Tom Cruise flap doesn’t dampen it any.
From the title cards:
On March 3, 1919 President Harding established the swingenest, scientologist, dew drop of a flight [...]

Be Romantic And Smoke His Brains Out

July 27, 2006 – 11:25 pm

This photo from Tsunaminotes appeared in Ende’s photo stream and reminded me instantly of all the cool things I’d never done because I was born too late and cool stuff is what I saw in black and white photos from years past. Of course, Flickr says the photo was taken July 5th, and the photographers [...]

Kobb Labs

April 29, 2006 – 10:13 pm

Joe forwarded me a link to Kobb Labs the other day, and I’ve got to admit that the guy has a much better introduction than anything I could have written for my site:
Despite what you may have been told, I am not a mad scientist. (No, no, no, that’s all slander and lies from jealous [...]

Abductions

March 31, 2006 – 12:07 pm

I don’t know how I feel about shilling for the california dairy industry, but this cow abduction site is pretty funny. Be sure to watch the movie.

Want more, go look at mailorderchickens.org.

Brick

February 21, 2006 – 10:59 pm

I just popped in The Constant Gardener (trailer) and discovered the preview for Brick. And even though I want to see almost every movie previewed for me, I really want to see this movie.
The Constant Gardener, by the way, is good too.

Exxpose Exxon

February 3, 2006 – 7:57 am

ExxonMobil’s 2005 profits of $36.13 billion are apparently the largest ever recorded by any corporation in America. To celebrate, the folks at SaveOurEnvironment.org put together this funny short: ExxposeExxon.
The movie makes some good points, but let’s face it, high oil prices encourage conservation and research on alternative energy technologies.

Criticism of Modern Movies

December 4, 2005 – 8:07 pm

We’ve all heard it before, but we just can’t get it out of our heads. Today’s movies make us feel dumb. Paulina Borsook joins the chorus and condemns contemporary cinema by praising movies of the 60s and 70s:
They were movies made for adults, even if they had been mainstream movies and/or nominally rated PG. They [...]

Segway Easy Rider Movie Trailer

August 19, 2005 – 3:28 am

Remember those guys who rode a Segway cross-country last year? Well, they’ve got a movie coming out. Yup, there’s even a trailer. Possibly more interesting: the photo gallery (from which the photo above came).
Thanks to Engadget for the link.

Grizzly Man

August 16, 2005 – 7:28 am

David Edelstein’s review of Werner Herzog’s documentary, Grizzly Man, describes Timothy Treadwell as
…a manic but lovable whack-job who doggedly filmed and obsessively idealized the bears that would ultimately eat him…
The film is made up largely of the bits of the hundreds of hours of video that Treadwell himself shot during his 14 years with the [...]

Movie Night: Open Water

August 8, 2005 – 8:42 pm

Joe recommended Open Water whole heartedly, but others, like some of these one-star reviewers at Amazon, had equally strong reactions against it.
I first learned of the events the movie is based on in Bill Bryson’s In a Sunburned Country, where he described the events of Thomas and Eileen Lonergan’s disappearance during a dive in the [...]

Movie Night: House Of Flying Daggers

August 2, 2005 – 9:23 pm

I’ve been a fan of Zhang Yimou’s[1] films since, well, for a while now. But I’m also a huge kung fu fan — Jackie Chan especially — so House of Flying Daggers was quite a treat.
It’s not that I didn’t like Hero, or that Daggers was particularly funny. To the contrary, it’s tale of complex [...]

Netflix Expands Queues

August 1, 2005 – 2:28 am

This is old news, but Netflix now offers multiple queues for each account. Queues, of course, are the movie wish lists each Netflix customer keeps; when you return a movie, they send out the next movie in your queue. In the old days, each subscriber got just one queue, no matter how many members of [...]

Movie Night: The Underneath

July 31, 2005 – 6:28 pm

Steven Soderbergh has done a number of good films, but The Underneath isn’t among them. It’s interesting to see the director working out his moves, but more entertaining to see them in a more mature form, as in Out of Site.
Eh, I’m ready to give the guy a break. My real complaint has nothing to [...]
