  1. Paley

    In Nina Paley’s “This Land Is Mine” everyone dies

    Cartoonist-turned-free-culture-activist, Nina Paley, got a lot of attention when her animated film Sita Sings The Blues (2008′s best animated film and perhaps even the best of the 21st century, in my humble opinion) failed to clear the rights to very crucial music and was released for free download under Creative Commons.

    It’s a wonderful example of art-turned-activism, and Paley’s newest, a project she’s calling Seder-Masochism, might end up falling into the same circumstance. Paley just released “the last scene” of the “potential-possible-maybe feature film” and it’s perfectly Paley: funny, bloody and flawlessly scored.

    Sorry, you have to click to see the video.

    Mythbusters ruins lives by confirming that both Jack & Rose could’ve survived the sinking of the Titanic

    This has not been a good year for Titanic fans, let me tell you. Earlier this year we were collectively jacked out of almost $60 million when Titanic was re-released in zombie 3-D. Fans from across the globe went to see their favorite love story with some added depth perception slapped on in post-production. The result? Viewers were WOW’d for about 30 minutes, or until they realized just how many times they’d have to visit the bathroom to survive the 194 minute film.

    Then! The extended DVD release of said-film came with a bonus scene that revealed the original casting for Jack: none other than Clueless heartthrob Jeremy Sisto. That’s right, the same Jeremy Sisto who had to run to the quad to “grab his Cranberries CD before somebody snags it.” A Jeremy Sisto who (without nostalgic bias) does a pretty good job looking like and acting like a Jack Dawson.

    Could Jack & Rose have actually survived the Titanic?

  3. paidinpuke

    Is puking really hot right now, or is it just me?

    I’m not a huge fan of the “funny puke”. I think the word “puke” is pretty funny, along with the synonyms for puke, including “vomit”, “spew”, “ralph” (WHO IS RALPH?), “hurl”, and by far the funniest iteration: “barf”. But the humor of vomit is in name only. There is no puke humor I can think of in the past ten or so years that was actually amusing. And when someone pukes on screen, I find it so utterly repulsive that no form of falling in said puke, swimming in said puke or even(!) eating said puke could shock value me into a laugh.

    Is this a puking trend piece? Maybe.

    The Anchor Games: The Hunger Games Meets Anchorman

    Everyone else is buzzing about Will Ferrell’s Anchorman sequel, but I still haven’t gotten over Hunger Games fever. And I realized something — Anchorman was actually an adaptation of The Hunger Games! To prove it, I matched up quotes from the book with scenes from Anchorman. I present to you The Anchor Games.

    It’s a Cornucopia of GIFs! What? Too soon? »

    The Hunger Games, Reviewed Based Only on GIFs

    Over the past week, the internet was flooded with GIFs and photoshopped montages for the new movie, The Hunger Games. There are hundreds of nearly identical webcomics of the main characters joking about bread and cake. I’m sure there’s a Tumblr dedicated to Hunger Games/Arrested Development mashups.

    After days of unwillingly subjecting myself to artfully constructed GIFs on Tumblr, I feel comfortable recapping this movie for vault dwellers or any lucky person who escaped the fandom torrent unscathed.

    Eddie Murphy’s Lost Oscar Host Notes

    Enter in red leather tuxedo to orchestral medley of “Axel F” by Harold Faltermeyer and “Party All The Time.”

    (Wait 10-20 minutes for standing ovation to die down.)

    Parody ideas:
    The Fartist
    Digitally insert me—as The Klump family—into The Artist.
    Subtitle: “Black and white just got blacker.” Rip farts. Silent but deadly!

    War Donkey
    Put Donkey from Shrek into footage from War Horse.
    Sample dialogue:
    Donkey: Run into Nazi territory? Aw, hell naw! Do I look like a dumb horse? I’m a donkey, honky!

    Fat Albert Nobbs
    Bill Cosby will be PISSED. That alone makes it worth it.

    The Help 2: Trading Places
    “Where’s my grits, Emma Stone?”

    The 15 Characters in Every Indie Film, Illustrated

    We watch indie films to avoid the clichés of mainstream movies. But as indie has become a genre itself, it’s accumulated its own tropes. We’re not saying these are bad, we’re just saying they show up everywhere.

    The Manic Pixie Dream Girl

    500 Days of Summer, Garden State, Annie Hall

    The MPDG is the answer to any dashing young narrow-minded protagonist. She dispels all cynicism with her sunny outlook on life and gives off enough whimsy to make your audience “aw”. Or cry profusely, because no real girl is this perfect.

    A Scene From “Cathy”: The Live Action Film

    Videogum’s Gabe Delahaye is pushing for a live-action movie version of the classic comic strip Cathy. But apparently he’s imagining a comedy. I think we need to consider its potential as a Darren Aronofsky-directed drama.

    Here’s a scene. »

  13. Details-Peter-Sellers

    Five Classic Movies Inspired by Details Magazine Trend Stories

    Giant robots. Superheroes. Hangovers. Simple, discernible goals and propulsive narrative through lines. The term is “high concept,” and it’s the lifeblood of movie industry, particularly during the long, sticky summer months, when Hollywood rolls out film after film based on recognizable ideas with titles that double as plot synopses: Bridesmaids, Horrible Bosses, Friends With Benefits.

    But what happens when the well runs dry and there are no more zeitgeist-y buzzwords or annoying, over-hyped social phenomena to turn into big-budgeted star vehicles? You focus on the details. Specifically, Details Magazine. Even more specifically, Details Magazine trend pieces.

    Never ones to shy away from a snappy portmanteau or exaggerate the importance of a handful of jerks doing inane things, Details has long been the nation’s leading curator of marginal social ephemera and things that aren’t actually things.

    And Hollywood has noticed, long turning to the publication for fresh ideas to be turned into feature films across a variety of styles and genres. Some of the most notable examples of this throughout history are as follows.

  14. Famous Quotes as if Spoken in Proper English

    Famous Movie Quotes as if Spoken by a Proper Englishman

    Salutations, internet ne’erdowells. Since I was a lad, I have enjoyed fine cinema. In those days, films were written and performed properly. With a dignified vocabulary and diligent diction.

    Alas, those days have gone the way of the dodo. Class and manners have been usurped by poorly constructed idioms and distasteful vulgarity. I cannot view a picture film without my ears being molested by the horrendous mangling of the English language.

    Therefore I have put my quill to parchment and rewritten some of the most famed movie quotations as a proper Englishman would have uttered them. I think you’ll see that they are much improved upon.

    Transformers 3: 10 More Movie Mistakes

    I haven’t seen Transformers 3 yet, but it looks like there were a lot of mistakes.
