All these feelings just make me want to get a plush Cloverfield Monster and sleep with it every night. There’s so much potential for cuddling.
– Michael Diffenderfer, Movies We’ve Seen, Cloverfield: A Love StoryDeviantArt user SpaceVoyager listened and felt the same way, with devastatingly adorable results.
Act fast! Pee-Wee’s bike is on an awesome shirt at 6dollarshirts.com, but only for today.Hope you guys got that shirt if you wanted it, because it’s gone!And while you’re there, do me a favor, sign up for an account (I know, ugh), and put some stars on this guy:
“To fight monsters we created monsters, you monster.” GLaDOS in Guillermo Del Toro’s newest, Pacific Rim!
If you don’t know what I’m talking about, play Portal (or watch this) and then watch the trailer for Pacific Rim, embedded below.

Ghostbusters Stay Puft & Slimer. Homemade costumes for Gavin and Winston. Halloween 2012.
This Jeep foolishly tried to park next to TBWFTWD’s Range Rover. Look how it cowers.
Good at fighting zombies, bad at fitting between the lines.
Monsters University has a .edu site! This is awesome, and so much funnier due to the fact that I work in higher-ed branding. So what are you doing on campus later? Want to go see Screaming in the Rain on the quad?

ANUBIS THE BARKLESS DOG IN THE TOMB RAIDER
This is a fun little short film by Axelle Carolyn (seen here as an infected in DOOMSDAY [super hot, right?]). Love the look and feel of this piece, and if nothing else it truly shows the virtues of a solid puppy kindergarten.
Baby Got Back Sung by the Movies
There’s a ton of stuff floating around the web like this, and honestly most of it sucks, but this… this is masterful. This is the Citizen Kane (or now, the Vertigo) of song/movie mashups.
Bonus points for including Sho’nuff.

Trouble with the Curve
I always get excited when I get to see Atlanta in a movie, and this is showing off quite a lot of it. There’s a lot of the Braves, Turner Field, and even, that evil place called Georgia Tech. Making it even better, the booth that Amy Adams and Clint Eastwood are sitting in is just up the street at a restaurant called Homegrown. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go be a creeper and see if Amy left any stray shed hairs or bits of toast or anything.
Trailer embedded below.
Days later and my jaw is still on the floor because of this.
“Supine: A Dream” by Lyon Hill - Saw this at the Puppet Slam at the Center For Puppetry Arts on Friday. It is amazing. All presented live via illustrations and cutouts projected on to a screen and manipulated by hand. I’d gladly contribute to a feature-length version of something like this.
