Images must be woven together from the incoming data from the cameras, cleaned up and given colors that bring out features that eyes […]
The Life Aquatic is my favorite Wes Anderson movie, so I can’t not share this awesome claymation spoof remake. I only wish the creators had used the fantastic soundtrack from the original, but I guess there’s only so much you could fit into 60 seconds. 🙂 Via Geek Tyrant. You may also like: Famous Movie […]

My aspirations were serious enough to enlist the help of my uncle, who at the time held the very prestigious position of VP […]
For the record, I think that Vader kicks Voldemort’s butt any day. Via Geekologie. P.S. — Have you watched HP7 Part 1 yet? J and I managed to sneak away for a few hours last night to catch it and…well, it’s like what I’ve always said about the Harry Potter movies: each consecutive movie is […]
Jane Eyre is one of my all-time favorite books, so I was thrilled to see this trailer for the newest movie adaptation. Directed by Cary Fukunaga, the film seems to have a dark, stylish feel that brings a modern twist to a story that is set in the 1800s. I love the fact that it treads […]
