I got together to finally watch Cabin In The Woods yesterday. It was one of two Joss Whedon projects to hit theaters back in the spring of this year (released one week before Avengers, which is the other) and I was a little skeptical when my friend said Avengers was going to have its work cut out for it if it was going to be better than Cabin In ( Read more... )

Nothing to say, just some entertaining stuff to share.

First, 30 awesome behind the scenes photos from old movies. These are really cool and I kind of love Kubrick photo bombing Nicholson among many others.

Second, Shia Labeouf reimagined! Just listen. It's hilarious or at least I think so.

This song has been thoroughly lodged in my brain ever since I woke up this morning and I thought I'd share. For those of you who aren't familiar and enjoy the song, you need to check out the entire album, Fantastic Planet because it's one of the best. Ugh, and I was reminded that friggin' Paramore covered it when I glanced at the comments. I don't ( Read more... )

daylight_broke asked for it, so here are some of the best covers I've heard. "Iron Man" and "Gin and Juice" I think show the most creativity (if you haven't heard them already, you must) and Nonpoint absolutely nails "In The Air Tonight". But then, I think they're all pretty jaw-droppingly good. It looks like the player's not going to embed right, so just click ( Read more... )

It's not often that I like a cover as much, or close to as much, as the original, but it does happen from time to time and The Bangles' cover of Simon & Garfunkle's "A Hazy Shade Of Winter" is one of those times. It was the big hit from the 1987 movie, Less Than Zero, which Robert Downey Jr. (last I heard) credits for the plummet into drug ( Read more... )
