A nice bit of information regarding 'Pan and Scan'

Courtesy of the always good kottke.org, a short piece on how directors feel about 'Pan and Scan' versus the ratio actually filmed by the director and cinematographer.

Jeff Goldblum's Downward Spiral (A Work of Fiction)

It might be hard to stick with the entire article (after all, how long are you willing to watch 1999 Apple ads featuring Jeff Goldblum at half-speed), but it still works as a concept. Courtesy of The Morning News.

Jeff Goldblum's Downward Spiral (a story in 5 episodes)

These are actual Apple ads from 1999; they're just played at half-speed.

About, I dunno, 6 years late?

Thizzle quizzle brown fox jumpizzle ovizzle thizzle lizzle dog. Or, in English, the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.

Triumph Lives

Definitely NSFW that is, in a late night TV sort of way. I mean, it did air on network television but it still pushes the boundaries; hell you make the choice. And, yes, only dog lovers can laugh.

Fast forward to 12'10".

You just got Rick-Nirved

Gangster Style

This is nice.

Salmonella Outbreak in Michigan

Lansing, Mich. - Twenty people in Michigan are among those reportedly sickened in a nationwide salmonella outbreak.

Wait a minute. That's old news. Oh, well; time to throw the towels into the laundry.

No means no!

I'm sure the police report will list it as consensual but I think not. Remember, no means no!

It's more like who he isn't

Further proof to buttress my argument Ricky Gervais is the antithesis of Jim Carrey:

Perhaps my favorite 'Celebrity Jeopardy' of all time. . .

It really gets rolling at the 4'25" mark.

Someone's having fun over at Amazon

This item has wolves on it which makes it intrinsically sweet and worth 5 stars by itself, but once I tried it on, that's when the magic happened. 

From a customer review for a t-shirt at Amazon; don't read if you're easily offended. I wonder what Bezos thinks of this. (Perhaps he owns one?)

Why the hell not?

Beaker and The Electric Mayhem get 'Rickrolled'. 

50 Years

An article which heaps a healthy dose of crap on the English major's bible, 'The Elements of Style'. (I never knew it was that White.)

I've been known to have vivid dreams racing these

Unfortunalely, I can't translate for you but 'gas' and 'super' require no translation. Look for the new exhaust at 3'10".

"Where nothing happens?" Give me a break

A list of the "five great films where nothing much happens".

Meh; one of my all time favorites happens to be number 2. And, in case you're curious, a lot happens in this film. (Sort of.)

Films for the Masses

But especially for Jody and Josh. 

A link to the A/V Geeks film collection. Anyone ready for 'Everybody's Prejudiced' (1960)?

The McGangBang

Hard to pass up (well, actually, quite easy now that we stop and think about it), a new fan favorite from Mickey D's. Ugh.

Vanity Fair article on Bernie Madoff

The first (and so far only) funny moment on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon

Occured in the 18th minute of episode 3. Link here: http://www.hulu.com/watch/60903/late-night-with-jimmy-fallon-wed-mar-4-2009

It's a shame Sesame Street had to be involved.
