Cool Shit 7/1

Finally, a trailer for the Larry David/HBO movie Clear History. Seems as though it has a generic plot, but an unbelievable cast, and the magic of Larry David behind it.



Sure, the article title suggests this is about different ecosystems created within our urban landscapes, but I think it's simply examples about how life will always find a way. Thank Dr. Malcolm!

An interview with the person who has given us all so much pleasure in dive bars around the country: The Erotic Photo Hunt engineer!

Well, if we ever did this, our hockey team would probably be unstoppable.

This is for fans of John Carpenter's The Thing. A look at how John Carpenter had a unique opportunity to take a look at his movie and then almost completely change it when he wasn't satisfied. Very detailed, and slightly hard to follow, it's still a cool example of how directors employ their craft.

Cool Shit 2/20

I was hoodwinked by popular acclaim (not to mention a "loosely" defined book club) into reading The Girl with Dragon Tattoo. So when I see a trailer for a foreign film based on a popular novel, I roll my eye slightly. But dammit if this thing isn't the least bit intriguing. Also seems to have some cool shots...



Oh good - it seems there is a "mysterious slime" appearing over in England. Also, the article actually has the phrase "regurgitated innards, which is always pleasant to read in the morning.

Such a small, almost insignificant article from Esquire that is yet still packed with crazy curiosities! Starting with the recent Brussels 50 million dollar diamond heist, it goes on to question whether that was the best heist ever, citing some other recent heists. Some of the tidbits of those heists include identical twins getting off on a technicality, cross dressing, and the apparent unveiling of a group of thieves known as The Pink Panthers!

Honestly though, they had me at the word "heist."

Fan of The Thing? Then maybe you want to check out this completely unconfirmed story about who may or may not have been the alien at the end of the movie. Or maybe you don't want to. Your decision is a simple click away.

Incredibly long, but incredibly crazy story about junk food. We are all just slaves.

Cool Shit 1/24

And you thought the Lord of the Rings trilogy was already long - what if they make movies about all 7 ring bearers?

Here's you completely ridiculous movie trailer for the day. Olympus Has Fallen. And you can bet I'm excited for it, even though it repeats just about every action cliche of the past 50 years.



Take a look at what director John Carpenter thinks are the 10 best westerns.

And here's your time lapse of the day - the galaxy as seen at night in Death Valley National Park:

The Swingin' Thing

It's not often the Internet can surprise me with something so completely bizarre. But when it does, it's magical.

Case in point: What if John Carpenter's 1982 masterpiece The Thing was soundtracked by Frank Sinatra?
