Martin Scorsese — What’s a Nice Girl Like You Doing in a Place Like This?

I haven’t seen Shutter Island yet, and I doubt I’ll get the chance to see it in theaters. So last night I watched a bunch of Scorsese’s early work. It’s Not Just You, Murray! took longer to find that the others, so I figured I’d share this list of online venues to watch these films.

“

You don’t get second chances and mess them up, you’d be a fool to. Not just finishing films or in the long run getting some money, but it’s right now.

I feel like, it’s like I said, five, ten, fifteen years ago and now I’ve got the same options again, only this time I’m not going to fail, this time, it’s most important not to fail; not just to drink and dream, but rather to create and complete.

The Great Grocery Smackdown:

Will Walmart, not Whole Foods, save the small farm and make America healthy?

Really interesting article. If this continues to develop, it might actually get me to start shopping, for food, at Walmart.

12 Monkeys

Directed by Terry Gilliam with excellent lead performances from Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt. This is one of a few ‘sci-fi’ movies that I could probably watch over and over again.

The Garry Shandling Movie Poster Project

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 11:31:00 -0600

A few years ago (2006?) while we were deep in the midst of making Tom Goes to the Mayor, myself, Doug Lussenhop and the artists of TGTTM (Kevin Gallegly, Jordan Kim, Chris Shapan) created these movies posters with Gary Shandling puns. I don’t remember why. I was just a silly thing to do.

I have long forgotten who did which one, so if you’d like to claim owndership of them, let me know and I’ll add credits. also please, friends, submit your own shandling poster and I will add to this stream.

What an amazing project. Here’s mine for Inglourious Shandlerds.

(04:27) “Sarah Palin knows that it is okay to call someone a retard, if like Rush, you clearly don’t mean it. Which is why we should all come to her defense and say, ‘Sarah Palin is a fucking retard’. Get it? You see? It’s satire.”

Modern browsers for modern applications

Modern browsers for modern applications:

Many other companies have already stopped supporting older browsers like Internet Explorer 6.0 as well as browsers that are not supported by their own manufacturers. We’re also going to begin phasing out our support, starting with Google Docs and Google Sites. As a result you may find that from March 1 key functionality within these products — as well as new Docs and Sites features — won’t work properly in older browsers.

This is beautiful news.

The new thesixtyone design is daringly great.

A few rough edges that make me cringe, but overall the best-looking music site since muxtape.
