Advice from Wes Anderson
Wes Anderson: “Never be afraid to rewrite?” One of my New Year’s Resolutions is to write a screenplay this year.  I’m still in the process of trying to figure out what I want to write about, but I decided one of the best ways to probably start would be to study films that I really admire and inspire me. Therefore, every week I’m going to watch a film and pull from...

SpongeBob Voiceovers Oh my God, I almost died laughing at my desk at work.  The cast of SpongeBob dubs over classic movies Casablanca, Singing in the Rain, and Godfather.  The best part is that most of the dialog is actually intact (except for a few hilarious additions).  The Singing in the Rain one is by far the best.

Top 5 Movies of 2010
Keeping up with tradition, now I’ll review my top 5 movies of 2010.  A lot happened this year and as a result, I didn’t see that many films this year so it’s spread rather thin.  Once again, this is a list of the top movies I actually saw this year (so sorry Social Network, Black Swan, and Tron fans).  Also note, that these are the films that I liked and are not necessarily the...

Craigslist Fun: Millennium Falcon For Sale
I’m in the market for a new bicycle and so I decided to look at Craigslist.  While perusing the ads on the page, I came across this interesting advertisement: I have to admit that I got pretty excited since I’ve never seen a funny ad like this before on the site.  It seemed clear to me that the person who wrote this was expecting a response and I felt obliged to give him/her one....

Date Me, Scarlett Johansson →
My good friend Amos has started a website called Date Me, Scarlett.  There, you (and Scarlett) will find a rather magnificent list of reasons why Scarlett Johansson should date my friend Amos. It should be known that not only should you, yourself, view and follow this site, but for you to tell every single one of your friends to do the same.  It is in our (i.e. Amos and mine, but possibly yours...
