Equating Voice Volume with Acting...

We all love to make fun of him. We all secretly hope a conversation will turn just so we can shout "How'd it get burned!? How'd it get burned!?". In this one video, they've managed to truly capture the essence of Nicolas Cage's full on crazy.

To see the film list go see our friends at Pajiba here.

Do I need to say it's not safe for work? You'd all know that right?



Thanks to Stacey for finding this one and thanks, of course, to Nic. Send my love to Kal-el.

troopers wondering if the driver was drunk...reallllly?

Possibly inspired by the lovely Antoine Dodson news story, here is yet another interesting individual that had a certain attention-grabbing flare. I think it may have been the slow blink/wink that occurs in the middle of her detailed story as to what happened. Luckily no one was hurt...

The Rise and Fall (and Animation) of Mel Gibson

An animated news segment from a Taiwanese network that perfectly portrays the times and troubles of Braveheart. I can't decide on my favorite part, but I am a little disappointed that NMA network, like so many others, has completely left out any mention of that perennial classic, "What Women Want."

The Simplest Ideas Make the Biggest Impact

As a stark contrast to my latest post (albeit one of maybe two I've actually posted) which haunted my dreams of tightly clad women performing aerobics in a green screen forest, here's something that actually inspired me to no end.

The simplest ideas can, in fact, make the biggest impact. Good on these 4 girls from Harvard. This product is amazingly simple and unreal:

Accurate yet misleading...



Came across a wonderfully funny blog post by Mr. John Scalzi talking about movie descriptions that are technically correct, but completely miss the real meaning of the story.

Since yesterday, I've spent the better part of my day trying to come up with my own examples. So far these are my favorite:
Annie:
Young girl cons millionaire into taking her in. All of New York grinds to a halt as she hoodwinks him into searching for her make-believe parents.

Braveheart:
After witnessing the brutal murder of his father, a man with manic-depressive tendencies entices a riot to claim the crown.

Eau de Parfum: Fat Electrician

A product derived directly from the Noah Puckerman school of reverse hottie-psychology, "Fat Electrician" snares the fairer sex with the enticing aromas of ass sweat and burnt fuseboxes. 

This is your next logical step if your stock of "Svelte Refrigerator Repairman" and "Unremarkable Plumber" have proven ineffective.

Also, it's guaranteed to work 60% of the time, every time.

Reblog from Frog Design - When Ideas Have Sex

"As I write this, two artifacts of roughly the same size and shape sit on my desk: a cordless mouse and a hand axe from the Middle Stone Age. Both are designed to fit the human grip. Both are technologies. Yet the difference between them is profound."

From our friends at Turning Up The Awesome...

Truth in advertising.

Evil has never tasted so good.

Despite the nerdy theme, this is a pretty fun YouTube Channel.

Also, I was a geek when I was her age, but not nearly as cool. How times have changed for the geek.
