This fun live action short recreation of Disney’s A Goofy Movie was created by Ted Sowards. All it took to create this fun piece was with a lot of help of friends, $100, Final Cut Studio, fun and a lot of time. It is really cool to see how far they went with their creativity as it is basically shot for shot. You can check out the video as it has a side by side comparison if you continue reading after the jump!
The creative host, Worth1000.com, that gives many graphic artists a place to upload their fun work and give younglings tutorials on graphic design have come out with their 15th annual “Mate a Movie 15” poster mash-up design contest winners. There are a lot of funny ones, a lot about Avatar, and I have a good amount here (most of which are my favorites). You can check them out if you keep reading after the jump!
This is kind of old, maybe a month, but I figured it was still worth it to post because these are some pretty cool posters. These were for a benefit for Haiti in February that had Upper Playground and The Weinstein Company team together to throw this gig. A bunch of artists came together to create this interesting art pieces that were their interpretation of the film. All the proceeds went to the American Red Cross to help the victims of the Haiti earthquake. You can check out all the posters after the jump!
The folks at FlowingData have created a fun infographic on some of the best quotes in cinema history. Some of the quotes displayed are from such greats like Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz. Click on the image to enlarge and enjoy.
Some people really like to make pie charts and graphs as these two cool Academy Award fact sheets have popped up on the Interwebs. One is from BusinessPundit (The Numbers Behind The Academy Awards) and it has some good facts about costs and other cool stuff and the other is from LocateTV blog (Everything You Wanted To Know About the Oscars), which has a lot of good information about the winners and other random facts. Both are pretty neato and you should definitely check them out after the jump other wise you’re just silly if you don’t Seriously though, these are some fun facts that most probably don’t know and are cool to read.
Well I have done it again. I have accomplished another viewing of 100 films I have never seen before in my life. This has taken over the last 63 days of my life. If you haven’t been following me, a while back on May 17, 2009, I got this crazy idea in my head that I would up my film palette and explore new films and watch a whole bunch that I have never seen before due to an apparent realization that I, in fact, have never seen a lot of movies. I was some what aware of this, but this growing hobby of film had not made me realize the severity of what I have been missing out with such limited films I have seen.
So starting May 17, 2009, I had ventured out an idea to accomplish an original goal of 100 movies by the end of the summer; practically a 100 movies in 100 days. By the time I finished the goal I was at 93 days in and felt that I should try this again. By the time I did, here we are 300 films later.
This Time I feel like my films I have chosen have broaden dramatically and even opened up to computer animated films, which is something I never would have allowed before. I seem to be running out of classics, though, as this list appears to be more modern to me, but still dwells in old classics.
As I stated before, I have finished watching another 100 films I have never seen before in a startling 63 days. As this third trial had started I figured I would change my goal of instead of just watching 100 movies every time in 100 days, I would try to just watch more than a years worth under a years time. Soooo, I currently am at 300 films under my wing and at day number 248. Only 65 more films in 117 days……I’m pretty sure I can do that and we’ll see how many films I can get to by May 17 this year. Am I sick person?
Now with out further ado, my current list of 100 films I have never seen before:
Wired has come up with a little list of 100 quotes from all movies and television a like that all Geeks/Nerds must know. I’ve got your list right here and they are mighty classic. If you want to enjoy the list, continue after the jump to see them all.
Kees van Dijkhuizen created a little 7 minute recap of all the amazement of film of 2009. Cinema 2009: 1 Year, 342 Movies, 12 Months of Production, 7 Minutes. Watch this ish and enjoy because it is pretty exciting.
“2009 proved that innovation is rewarded, and for that reason, I’ve decided no film should be left behind. I’ve nearly tripled the amount of footage used in 2008: A Tribute To The Movies.”

Iron Man 2 is getting hot, but at the same time leaving everyone in the cold. WHAT DO THESE CLUES MEAN?!?!?!?!? This second poster reveals very little with just another highlighted word and a possible Thor like connection?! Ugh. Revert back to this old post from a few days ago and see if you can make the connection!
