Forum: Arts and Entertainment

Now, I'm not just talking about fantasy books or movies set in the modern age, or scifi stories with a hint of telepathy and mysticism, I mean works which go all out on both the science fiction and the fantasy stuff. So I suppose I have two...

SvGeLGeFrrU This video is a rare gem!! Anybody who is in the quicksand community knows all about this video!! "The quicksand community". Let's enjoy the generous cornucopia of crazy brought to us every day by the internet. Post the most...

world builder This film is just about 9 minutes and it's moving. I have tears in my eyes as I type. If you haven't seen it and you have just a little time to spare, please give it a watch.

It took 15 days and is roughly the size of Manhatten, but this stunning piece of artwork in the Black Rock Desert, Nevada is worth a look. with more on the story here.

I generally don't use Internet initialisms, but I have to say OMGWTFBBQ!!!1! :shock: :shock: :shock: No, really. Thanks to the metaquotes community on LJ, I've just been introduced to a piece of prose worse than the classic Eye of Argon. Far...

Now I like it when a well known actor or familiar face pops into a movie or show for a scene or even a few seconds. Hunter S. Thompson appearing in the flashback scene of Fear & Loathing was priceless.(Holy shit, there I am!) But sometimes you see...

EGwB-f1xfxM This was actually a hit in the UK :smack .

We shall not limit ourselves to the good. We shall not limit ourselves to sitcoms. What shows make you stab your own eyeballs? What shows make you die a little inside just knowing they're on TV? I throw up a little when I see ads for Real...

This was linked over on SDMB. I had heard a couple of the episodes before but I didn't know so many still existed and were available free. I don't know if any of you have ever listened to them before, but some of them are great, very atmospheric.

She has a new film to promote and yet at the same time a set of indiscrete photos of her, have apparently been stolen and released by someone hacking into her stylist's personal account. Does anyone else think this is to just generate publicity...

Let's say its like a last meal kinda thing.. I don't want people to think "hrm. which one would I not get sick of so fast.." Mine would be... after tough deliberation between Groundhog Day and Big... Groundhog Day.

Yeah so this guy is OK I guess, but he illustrates my point that don't even bother modulating fancy through the fourths/fifths -- just go up by half-steps. My cite? this video, and James Brown's Live at the Apollo album. THAT, my friends,...

This is one of the better ones: The cover image is a pastiche of comics the protagonist would have read in the 1960's.

It was a surprising episode - talk about it later.

Morgan Freeman is not nearly as great as people act like. That is all.

I'd consider seeing it. Great re-edit of the trailer. Absolutely nails the whole late 60s/early 70s disaster pic vibe, while having a sense of humor about all of it.

Once I would have written a long set-up. I'm too lazy now, though. Let's just say that the madman plans to torture, rape, murder, and eat you, not necessarily in that order, but that there's someone ahead of you on the menu and it'll a week before...

Basically, you're given the budget and the ability to film your own fanfic, or to capture missed opportunities, or to take your favorite show to the next level of greatness. For one episode, you are in complete control of the script, the casting,...

I don't remember seeing this here before. But the idea is that you're stuck on a desert island and you only have five albums to listen to for the rest of your life. What would they be? Mine: 1) Björk - Vespertine 2) XTC - Skylarking 3)...

Mine is from a video called It's All Because (The Gays are Getting Married). Warning: If this one gets stuck in your head, be careful where you sing it! What song is stuck in your head today?

Well?

I've had some on the brain lately-which is kind of tragic in it's own right but anyway. Post (at least? at most?) your five favorites, if you have 'em. Be honest. There is no shame. Lately, I can't stop singing this one. And it has to be this...

This post from the "Painfully Trendy Muisc" thread She checks out Mozart while she does Tae Bo Reminds me that there's time to grow The most painfully trendy lyrics from a painfully trendy song. Even deep-fried chicken is getting old, what...

Here's one to try and start the ball rolling. The Ninja - Eric Van Lustbader Ninjas are some of the coolest mammals on the planet and this book tells us the true life stories straight from their secret training scrolls! Eric van Lustbader...

and why in 3 or less sentences. Andy Dufresne - Rita Hayworth And The Shawshank Redemption A man who'd been shafted royally by life, but who never let his optimism fade. One of the good guys.

I'd say mine is Scrooged.

I have no recollection of how I ended up with tickets to either of these concerts -- I think they may have been part of my parents' subscription series and they didn't want to go, or couldn't, for whatever reason -- I definitely didn't buy them...

This is just a little fun thing I thought of: open up iTunes (or whatever other library you use) and post the first and last thing sorted alphabetically under: Artist? Track? Album? For me: Artists: A*Teens to Za-Za Tracks: À Cause des...

I was on Facebook just now, doing one of those "5 Things" dealies, when I started thinking about the worst concert experiences of my life: - I walked out of U2's "Joshua Tree" show in Atlanta when they did this halfass rendition of "New Year's...

Was there a youtube music thread around here? Am I just blind? Well, anyway, I've been listening to All Songs Considered on MPR and I think I'm in love. Two that they played and I can't get out of my head are 6wcZb80f5VE and 2CZ8ossU4pc ...

It used to be that YouTube would just recommend stuff without telling you why, but now it links each recommended video with something you watched. And if I was watching Nick Cave videos last night and it suggests an interview with him, that makes...

Commercials, short films, parodies, music videos, whatever. You find it on YouTube and want to share it? Stick it here. People always toss the links out in chat, but I never save them and there've been some great ones. The Shake Weight: ...

I saw this over the weekend, and enjoyed it immensely. From the moment Metallica's "For Whom The Bell Tolls" started playing over the opening credits, I knew that this was the zombie movie for me. Anyone else catch it yet?

Story here. She's 93 years old and has cancerous lesions on her leg, with gangrene imminent. She's also been "pretty much confined" to a wheelchair since 2002. She hadn't wanted to undergo the surgery and I can sympathize. It has to be...
