Cool Shit 10/18

In case you missed it from yesterday, the ridiculousness of sexy Halloween costumes.

Crazy! Unprecedented! A recent (as in current) interview with Bill Watterson, the creator of Calvin and Hobbes. I am certain this will be making the internet rounds today.

Speaking of Bill Watterson, would you like to see some of his work prior to creating Calvin and Hobbes?

A deeper look at the "Ride of the Valkyries scene from Apocalypse Now.



A list of Easter eggs that connect the worlds of Star Wars and Indiana Jones. I'll buy all of them except the whip in Empire Strikes Back. That one is reaching.

Well, it was nice knowing all of you. But now that there's an asteroid threat to the existence of life on Earth, I figure we should just shut it down now.

Wes Anderson's latest: The Grand Budapest Hotel. Ralph Fiennes looks like he's having a ton of fun, and as usual, the cast is filled with Anderson regulars. Looks deliciously campy and Wes Anderson-y. Hopefully that's your idea of a good movie.



Cartoons are vulgar! Well, at least a few of them in a few scenes. Let's start a protest!

I love top secret places. I'm not sure why, because I'm never going to be able to see them ever (I doubt I'm going to get high lever security clearance anytime soon). Here's a list of top secret bases. No mention of the weird building close to the banks of Lake Cayuga where albino deer ran the fence perimeter.

I always thought there was a book in failed movie scripts from Hollywood. Take for example, Superman. That movie had a bunch of rewrites and different people attached to it. Now that it's been filmed, wouldn't it be interesting to see what it could have been? I'd also like to see what some of these failed movies could have been.

People cursing on live television is funny. I won't pretend to explain it, but it is.

I have taken on a "no spoiler" attitude for this season and future seasons of Lost. It's been tough, but I've been relatively pure for each episode. And since this season has been batshit insane (in a good way) it's been that much more surprising. So I haven't clicked on these videos, but I also don't behoove anyone to spoil things for themselves. You've been efficiently warned.

1 in 10? I've gambled on much smaller odds...so maybe those student loans don't have to be paid off so fast.
