On one hand, watching a bunch of fairly well-off (I'm assuming if you can afford Oprah tickets then you're probably doing okay) middle-aged people get thousands of dollars of free stuff that they don't really need kind of puts a bad taste in my mouth. On the other hand, I'd also be flipping shit if I got thousands of dollars of free stuff that I don't really need (and got to see Oprah!!!!!!!!!), so I guess it all works out.
"The post makes clear the band has lent their songs to film, TV, and charity, but have never allowed their music to “sell” anything, despite being asked quite often."
So wait... does this mean the Jonsi song in the new Social Network trailer that doesn't actually sound like one specific Jonsi song is actually just a rip-off of a Jonsi song?
That makes a lot of sense, actually.
At first i was like "well I've got a fear of heights but its just a video, how bad could it be?", but then he climbed HIGHER THAN THE SEARS TOWER WITHOUT ANY SAFETY LINES and I basically just had a heart attack for 8 minutes.
Two of my bosses supposedly traveled hundreds of miles to go to this, and I really want to see if I can find them in this video, but I don't think I have the mental fortitude to watch this video closely for 13 minutes. It's like a Where's Waldo page but everyone is dressed like Waldo, your sanity slips away with every second that passes, and you're not even sure Waldo even bothered to show up.
I'm not so willing to say this movie had plot-holes. I mean, maybe I'm putting too much faith in Nolan, but I feel like after eight years of work he would have made sure everything worked correctly. I saw the movie twice on Friday and then spent a large amount of the weekend thinking about everything that seemed like a "plot-hole" (I have a lot of time to think at my job), and pretty much all of them I was able to explain without having to make large assumptions. The answers are pretty much all there in the movie, but some are rather subtle.
Like the whole "why wasn't the snow level in anti-gravity too" thing. In the second level, at one point there is a tremor, and Saito asks Eames "Turbulence on the plane?", to which Eames responds with something along the lines of "No it's too strong, it must be the van". Which is a roundabout way of saying that when something effects the levels below it, the effect degrades with each level it goes down. Since the van was in level one, the anti-gravity effect was only noticeable in the level directly below it.
I think.
Not to rain on the parade, but I'm pretty sure the majority of this is true, which actually makes this legitimately sad:

That said, this meme is still hilarious.
I feel bad laughing at this because, seriously, I've always wished I could live in a world where I could buy a katana and be really excited about it and not get weird looks from everyone who enters my house. This guy is basically living my dream.
Sorry guys (or maybe just Gabe? Sometimes it's hard to tell whether you monsters like something or not), but I think this movie actually looks pretty good. Consider me interested.
I watched it, because I'm a baby monster with absolutely no restraint, and it was pretty cool. It didn't show too much (duh, teaser) but I'm on board with the general idea of it.
"Knowing that there was no chance of calling for help in the roaring crowd, the kidnapped boy recalled a bear survival tip he learned in Boy Scouts. Swallowing his panic, he began to play dead, hoping the distracted Larry King would lose interest and move on to more enticing prey."
As a current Burger King employee (I know, yuck), I'll admit that I was initially amused when I found out I would be making sandwiches that are (basically) named after Mickey Rourke. However the novelty wore off after like the third one, and now they're just really annoying to make, and everyone wants one. Seriously, people can't get enough Mickey Rourke Burgers. They just love the taste of Mickey Rourke (again, yuck). I feel like I had a point to make when I started this comment, but i guess I lost it. #vaguelyrelevantstoriesgum
I don't have a clever caption, I just want to say that Barack Obama Looks At Awesome Things was the greatest collection of photos involving Obama I've ever seen. I can die happy now that I've seen Obama preparing to deflect a fireball with the Hylian Shield.
I just bookmarked that site and will be visiting every day for the next 15 days to vote, because if this happens I will be able to die happy (or at least happier).
For the record, I, and I assume most people here, love it because she is an adorable 12 year old who has some pretty impressive editing and internet skillz for her age. I didn't even notice the physical disabilities until I saw someone mention it.
