Old People Fight Club

I love everything about this ad for Blu-Ray except the tagline "Don't mess with an original."

Are you kidding me? Old people reenacting Fight Club? That's absolutely the perfect idea to mess with an original! And these guys are good. Never mind the Brad Pitt guy - the people watching are pitch perfect.

It’s the 10th anniversary of the movie Fight Club. What are you doing into the soup?

John Woo is back! Maybe.

As we come to the end of 2009, we’ll soon start seeing best of lists. And now it seems people have chosen ’09 to be the end of the decade. Remember the whole debate about when the millennium started?

Sometimes, urban legends are true. Which I guess would make them urban truths. Of course, I don’t know why either have to have a racial angle.

One probably won’t kill you, but making these hot dogs a daily staple of your diet might.

For Sherlock Holmes fans – a map with all the highlights from the books.

Liked the movie A Clockwork Orange? Then you may enjoy the author talking with the star in this video.

Ok, so maybe you’re not A Clockwork Orange fan. Or maybe you are but you also like other movies? Here’s a video describing how the special effects in Star Wars (the 1977 one!) were made.

Interview with Umberto Eco, or as I like to refer to him, the most insanely intelligent person on the planet.

Mr. Roboto isn’t on this list? Mr. Roboto wasn’t about having sex with a robot? Yeah, right.

Interview with Lars Von Trier.

It’s Halloween, so you know Elvira is out and about.

The big enemies of net neutrality.

It’s my theory that we have so many tasing videos because trigger happy cops no longer have to go through the means of hiding and disposing a body after they shoot it now; a taser is relatively harmless. Without that fear, that taser is going to come out as soon as someone looks at them the wrong way.

The curious case of the 1984 movie, Money Hunt. I’d never heard of this before, but it sounds fun! Except for the possible scam at the end.

Quite possibly a little late for Halloween, but seriously, don’t we have uses for a charred corpse all year long? No? Just me? Carry on then.

Cool imagery from Antarctica based on the sun’s return to the Cold Continent. (Has it been labeled that, because if not I hope it catches on and I can cash in on it.)

Now sharks have to watch out for sharks. Also, completely unrelated, apparently there are only beautiful women in Australia.

If you woke up today with the desire to read how Fight Club is really about a grown up Calvin and Hobbes well…

Australia's got a camel problem.

How would you like to be Omar bin Laden – son of Osama? On the one hand, you’ve got the same name as the awesomest character on The Wire. On the other, your dad is kinda an evil dude.
