This is pretty much the best idea going. The Alamo Drafthouse (along with jeans-maker Levi’s) is showing nine different classic flicks in (or around) the locations where they take place. Some settings are more spot on than others — Jackie Brown in LA’s Del Amo Fashion Mall is perfection — but the whole concept is just fantastic. […]
This theme music sung by a dog comes from the cartoon show, but Batman was a movie, too, right? Whatever. This is too good not to post even if it’s not particularly film-related. I mean, even Christian Bale couldn’t yell at this adorable pup. (via Warming Glow)
This graphical breakdown of career director arcs over on Into the Abyss is pretty damn fantastic. What author Todd Miro did was compile all the Rotten Tomatoes scores for all the movies made by a director and then chart those critical rankings on a line graph to show how well each director’s flicks were received over time.

Pulp Fiction – (Jules Winnfield x Vincent Vega) + (Boba Fett x Darth Vader) = This Image

It’s a simple equation. Also, Marsellus Wallace finds your lack of faith disturbing, Brett. (via Samblr)
It’s synonymous, you see. (via Fukung.net) Relatedly, Violent J Is John Goodman is apparently (and sadly) no longer being updated, but it’s still pretty great if you have not yet had the pleasure. I, too, dabbled in pacifism once … not in ‘Nam, of course.
On Friday, July 2, Airplane! will celebrate its 30th anniversary. I personally — slightly — prefer Anchorman, but despite my modern leanings, Airplane! is easily the finest comedy ever made. Its gags, puns and sequencing are all perfectly done, sure, but what really sets it apart is that, unlike many of the other comedies that come off […]
Looks like a bunch of divers have achieved something that women’s suffrage, Civil Rights, the Americans with Disabilities Act and, most recently, a bunch of racist lawmakers in Arizona could never do: find diversity. A great wooden steamship that sank more than a century ago in a violent Lake Michigan storm has been found off the Milwaukee-area […]
Especially Clinton, Murray, Gates and Cosby. (via Urban Raccoons and Elephants and Blow-Up Elephants)
Oh? Wait? This isn’t a golf leaderboard? Well then … It looks like some theater operator in Seattle is just clowning T-How out of fun and/or boredom. Good on him/her, even if he/she did spell his name wrong. That guy sucks. (image via Buzz Feed … h/t @treykerby) I only called him T-How because I imagine that’s […]
This ’80s bully montage (girl, we want a montage) serves as Exhibit V that no other decade was more cartoonish or disingenuous to reality than the Ronald Reagan era. I’m not trying to be political with that statement. I just needed a synonym for ’80s so I didn’t use it twice in the same sentence. Both videos […]
