Ünnecessary Ümlaut

Made by friends Chris Sumers and Adam Young for Adam’s art show in Austin. Lets hope they donated all those caps to See the rest »

Though it’s missing the slo-mo group dance scene at the end, it’s got so many other Wes Anderson hallmarks, I’m not going to complain. Even if Moonrise Kingdom looks like the apex of self parody, I’ll still see it. Damnit. (via TheMovieBlog)

What’s awesome about these sound snippets, beyond their individual sonic values, is how they conjure up all the visuals and emotions that came with the rest of their respective scenes. (Thanks, Wardinger)

Completely Captivating… Utterly Undulating…

…Stand back!

No, it’s not Nicolas Cage, but man does this guy have some smooth moves. Stick with it a minute and you’ll see. The actor is Timothy Carey who is, according to his IMBD bio, no stranger to crazed moves. Just look at his profile pic. (Thanks, Mel)

What’s better than the Steve Perry singing along to Don’t Stop Believin’ at a SF Giants game? Not much. But this supercut of the lyrics “sung” through classic movie scenes does give you a decent warm ‘n fuzzy feeling about the song. And the flicks. Even if the herky-jerkiness makes it sound like William Shatner doing celebrity impressions of Journey singer tryouts.

This one’s all about execution. And I don’t think Lucas could direct this furry troupe the way the folks at Deutsch did. Maybe that’s why he’s retiring from blockbusters.

Apparently, this is only a teaser for some Game Day celebration tie-in that Volkswagen is sponsoring. There’s even a site where you can get your name (and more?) in a customized Star Wars crawl. Woof. Check it here.
