Hotel Chevalier, Prologue to Darjeeling Limited
I’m not tuned in to every detail of the Wes Anderson universe, but I loved being surprised by them. I was surprised by how much I loved “Fantastic Mr. Fox” when I saw it, despite thinking for over a year it was probably some horrible 3D childrens movie, (its nothing of the sort, and you…

Indiana Jones Loses His Goddamned Hat
So, its common knowledge that there are some gaping plot holes in the “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” the first Indiana Jones movie. One is, how did Indiana Jones know how to close his eyes when the Nazis opened the Ark? Another is, how did he escape the island when all the Nazis died in…

George Gross, Senior Break, Nanny Cam
My friend George Gross is a brilliant filmmaker, but as he continues to rise to new levels of fame, he’ll have to compete with the world’s other famous George Gross, the one who made trashy (yet awesome) crime/sex posters like the one above. It’s actually not bad company, as I think the only other famous…

George Gross, Beverly Hills Monster Mash!
One of the most bizarre things to ever happen on Beverly Hills 90210 was when precocious and immature Scott Scanlon suddenly got really interested in guns and country music.

Give My Regards To Broad Street, Yesterday, Here There and Everywhere, Wanderlust
I’m not ready to say goodbye to Paul’s terrible movie, in fact watching this makes me want to see the whole thing. I might have seen the whole thing laid out on youtube, and if it is, expect the entire film posted on my website soon with humorous remarks dashed about. Anyway, despite the movie…

Paul McCartney, Give My Regards to Broad Street, Eleanor Rigby
I’ve never seen Give My Regards to Broad Street, but from what I’ve read, its pretty awful. Apparently, it was Paul McCartney’s ego run amok, thinking he could replicate the success of “A Hard Day’s Night” with another movie about a “day in the life” of…Paul McCartney. The movie was a huge waste of money,…

The Blues Brothers, Ray Charles, Twist it (Shake Your Tail Feather)
How about that keyboard reflecting in Ray Charles’s sunglasses? That’s rock and roll, or more specifically, the blues. This legendary scene, from the “Blues Brothers” movie, is and irreplaceable document of blues rock awesomeness. The Blues Brothers were a group formed by Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi, two SNL geniuses who loved the blues and…

Star Wars NEW Deleted Footage
Lets face it, since 1999, “Star Wars” has been a bag of shit. I was 13 years old when the “Phantom Menace” came, old enough to have my “Star Wars” fantasy life crushed to smithereens by the atrocity that was George Lucas’s Death Star explosion of a movie. It was sad because I had both…
