Posted in Character Profiles, Lists, Movies, tagged Burn After Reading, Coen Brothers, Comedy, Entertainment, Fargo, Film, Movies, news on March 20, 2012| 2 Comments »
It’s no surprise that the Coen Brothers make some of the most memorable characters in movie history. Each of their movies seem to have a perfect balance between quirky hilarious and downright terrifying. Even their one movie I never seemed to comprehend, A Serious Man, had some decent memorable characters. Here’s the list of my five favorite characters from their very long and impressive resume. Feel free to chime in when you feel as though I’ve forgotten somebody.

Harry Potter is Still Blowing My Mind after a Year
Posted in Movies, tagged deathly hallows, Harry Potter, snape, voldemort on March 15, 2012| 1 Comment »
I don’t take credit for this image, nor do I know who originally made it, but if this didn’t blow your mind the first time, please read it again to try and fully understand it. It took me a while to fully grasp it and the whole ‘Deathly Hallows’ symbol in the background really didn’t kick in until the last minute. But in all honesty, I was blown away with this revelation. The forum where I got this from sparked a huge debate whether Dumbledore is the one who died for a love one and not Snape. I’m not going to get into the details because it gets pretty hairy between Rowling interpretations. But I don’t care who you put in there, because two concrete selections out of three is more than enough to completely blow my mind. So imma let you guys soak it in a little more and then you can start freaking out as much as I did.
Morning Oatmeal: 100 of the Best Movies
Posted in Lists, Movies, tagged Comedy, Entertainment, Film, Movies, news, Reviews, television, TV on March 15, 2012| 2 Comments »
There are a lot of lists that include the best movies ever. Each list has its own personality and every movie on it has its own credibility and worthwhile aspects to be watched. So if you ever wanna burn through 100 movies. As for me…I’m at 64/100. If you’re lower than me, you have work to do. If you’re higher than me, movie film points for you.
Sam Rockwell: Dancing Machine
Posted in Character Profiles, Movies on March 14, 2012| Leave a Comment »
He’s not necessarily a household name and is often known for playing douchey Jeremy Piven type characters, but Sam Rockwell can hold his own when it comes to acting. People usually recognize him as Iron Man’s whiny enemy in Iron Man 2 or the Drew Barrymore’s crazy boyfriend [not Tom Green] in Charlie’s Angel, but I know him best for his memorizing performance in Moon and even the extra on Galaxy Quest. He’s done a lot of supporting character work, but uploader aeide13 has hilariously compiled a series of clips from all his movies where he DANCES. And sonuvvabitch, he’s a pretty good dancer. In movies that have nothing to do with dancing like Iron Man, Moon, and Charlie’s Angel, he always fits in a dance. The video is hilarious and I highly suggest you see some of his other work [Moon, watch Moon. Please watch Moon. It’s really awesome.]
Morning Oatmeal: Ron Swanson Before He was Ron Swanson
Posted in Character Profiles, Movies, Television, tagged Bacon and Eggs, NBC, Nick Offerman, Parks and Recreation, Ron Swanson on March 14, 2012| Leave a Comment »
Nick Offerman aka Ron Fcking Swanson, to me, is an enigma. He seems to be a comedic hidden gem that has actually graced us many times before, but we deemed him an unimportant extra. Now he’s very much a household name to the culturally competetant, which makes us grow interested in who he was before he blessed us with one of the best characters of television. Warming Glow has compiled who he was before Parks and Recreation and I suggest you check out their sweet gallery.
Do Not F*ck with Liam Neeson

The Chive has created this awesome graphic giving you reasons to not take his daughter. With Taken 2 coming around the bend and the original Taken not being horrible, there’s decent reason to start getting excited. The graphic below gives you lessons based on Neeson’s career as to why taking his daughter is a horrible idea. My favorite: He Trained Batman

4 Characters in Movies Who Won’t Shut Up
Posted in Lists, Movies, tagged Comedy, Donnie, Entertainment, Fargo, Film, Movies, news, Reviews, television, TV on March 12, 2012| 3 Comments »
Dialogue is the writer’s way to speak the characters soul in a movie. It relays personality, interests, priorities, and values that we come to love about our favorite movie characters. Too much of it however, can be a bad thing. Not in all cases, but most people don’t like people who have an infinite battery source on the chatterbox. The ramblings of a disillusioned man or even an intelligent man can usually tend to get on our nerves. Today I’ve compiled a rather small list [but equipped with videos as well as images] of some of the biggest chit-chat-kats in the movie galaxy that are worthy of your note. As usual, please let me know who I’ve missed. I like my mind stimulated as much as yours.

UGO does a good job in compiling lists and can be compared to Cracked.com. Which is a humungous compliment to them. They’ve listed a couple of movies of where kid’s movies have adult innuendos. Not all kids movies are strictly for kids. There are a couple of jokes that simply fly over their heads and the parents and baby sitters put their hands over their mouths and giggles. Here’s the link.

The Best Pictures as Infographics + Angelina Jolie
Posted in Movies, tagged Best Picture, Minimalist, Oscars on March 9, 2012| Leave a Comment »
Vulture put together a very satirical and hilarious series of infographics. Very minimalist, which means it’s straight and to the point, but it does so in an artistic manner. Regardless of the art-type the content is very worthy of your attention. Plus I had to pull yesterday’s post regarding Angelina Jolie pulling a Basic Instinct for the Community Trailer and I’m shoving it here.
Horrifying I know.
But here’s the rest of the infographics. There are even more below.
5 Benefits of Being a Movie Buff
Posted in Articles, Lists, Movies, tagged Comedy, Entertainment, Film, Movies, news, Reviews, television, TV on March 9, 2012| 3 Comments »
Last week, it sort of felt as though I bashed being a movie buff in preference for being a television buff with so many television related posts. I can feel sometimes that I relay the imbalance of movies and television and I have to remind myself that I still need to write about movies every once in a while. I haven’t really been to a movie theater as of late and all the movies I’ve been watching are either old or terrible, neither of which warrants a full blow review. And I tire of lists that hold little relevance. So I kind of went into the mind process of when I wrote about my ‘television ratio’ and ‘reasons to watch television’. Today I write to defend the movie buff honor and claim how pride I am to being one. Below I’ve compiled a list of 5 reasons or better yet, perks to being a movie buff. Read below.
Morning Oatmeal: The 25 Sexiest Men in Cinema/Television
Posted in Character Profiles, Movies, Television, tagged Attractive, Men, Movies, Sexy, television on March 8, 2012| Leave a Comment »
I’m a guy and I can totally relate to this list. As soon as I saw Malcolm Reynolds at number 25, I knew this list would be A-okay. If you’re a gal who simply loves the lovable, hunky, brave, what-have-you men that fill up the silver screen, this is a list that’s totally for you. Empire Online has compiled what they believed the 25 sexiest movie/tv personalities were and they even put a little ‘do you agree or disagree’ poll for each one. Be sure to check it out

Morning Oatmeal: 20 Failed Franchise Formations
Posted in Lists, Movies, tagged Comedy, Entertainment, Film, Movies, news, Reviews, television, TV on March 7, 2012| Leave a Comment »
It’s no surprise that many movies have tried to copy the repeating success of a film franchise. No one movie alone can beat the strength of a franchise in terms of box office. Everyone beginning film wants to be the next Star Wars, Harry Potter, or Lord of the Rings. But where these franchises have succeeded, about 3-5 have failed. Below you’ll find The Golden Compass, Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, and Eragon. While not all these films are bad [Mystery Men is in there, and I absolutely loved that movie], either their box office or uncommitted stars stopped these films from become sequels or even more.
