Cool Shit 2/26

Godzilla trailer. Seems like Bryan Cranston has put himself in a position where now everything he does has some extra gravitas. I assume that has to do more with Breaking Bad and less with Malcolm in the Middle, but I can't be 100% sure:



And if the trailer for Godzilla doesn't get you excited enough, would the potential for other monsters in the movie do it? Check out this sleuthing of the trailer to sniff out that possibility.

More movie news, this from the world of Star Wars. Love the casting rumors of Benedict Cumberbatch and Gary Oldman; not so much that they would be playing the same character. That kind of tom foolery has me worried about the script.

Want to know what the best music streaming service is out there on the web?

Was kind of hoping that possibly the one good thing that may have come from Harold Ramis' death would be that Ghostbusters III would have also died with him. Apparently, that's not the case. At least we have this awesome oral history of the original to always enjoy.

The Museum of Uncut Funk. What a great idea! While I would love to visit, I'm not hundred percent sure there's a brick and mortar version. I've looked for an address, but can't find one anywhere. But then there are pictures that suggest it exists somewhere.

Great directors had to start somewhere. Here's a look at 10 early films by famous directors that you should probably check out.

Cool Shit 12/11

James Bond posters reimagined as designed by Saul Bass! Are these for sale? Can I buy these? I would buy every one easily! A ha! They are for sale. Please feel free to buy mean any/all of these. Seriously, any of these posters would make great Christmas presents. For me.


Run DMC's Christmas in Hollis was a song unlike any other when it came out, in that it was a modern Christmas carol that didn't seem immediately steeped in the traditions of long ago. Hear more about it from one of its creators.

They might not have been the best movies, but their posters sure look cool. Well, at least some of them. Not sure they represent the best of 2013, but who am I, anyway?

Awhile ago, we posted a trailer to the upcoming television show Helix. And now we have the first review, which suggests it will be good. Like Lost good. Well, Lost good up until the finale which made Lost not very good. But we're not here to live in the past. We can only hope this new show learns from our past mistakes. Honestly it looks like a cross between The Thing and The X-Files, which in my book, is a pretty decent mashup.

And finally, two new trailers wrap up today's cool shit...

There's a new Godzilla movie coming out. It has a lot to live up to following the Roland Emmerich masterpiece of 1998:



And then there's a new movie from the Wachowskis, Jupiter Ascending. Form the looks of this, it looks deliciously horrible :
