Polling the crowd
Does anybody have any recommendations for an FM transmitter for an iPod? I need to get one before the trip tomorrow.
AMC's Best Picture Showcase →
suitep: AMC Theatres is offering a great deal on Saturday, Feb. 23, the day before the Academy Awards. Watch all 5 Oscar nominated films for $30, with free large popcorn and unlimited refills. You heard me right…that’s a large popcorn and unlimited refills. This is a really cool idea. Have they done this every year?
My Top 10 Films of 2007
I know, i know, it’s almost February. I’ve really been slacking on putting this together. Originally it was going to be a big ordeal like my top albums thing was, but then i got lazy. Anyway, there’s really not much for me to add at this point. 2007 was an amazing year for movies and will be remembered as one of the best in film history. More than half of the films on the list...
Eric B And Rakim - “Don’t Sweat The...
“It’s not enough to say you’ll be ready from Day One - you have to be...”
– Obama. I’ll try to make that my last politics related post.
Chain Factor →
Well, i have certainly wasted a lot of time playing this.
Reporter: How can you tell that a photo was taken by an artist, and not by a relatively talented amateur?'
David Hughes: You cant.
Edwards quitting presidential race - CNN.com →
skeetonmischa:So, the debate on Thursday is basically going to be a freestyle contest out of like 8 Mile? I hope that Obama walks out to the stage to Shook Ones. I’m hoping for “Hip Hop”. If it was good enough for Dave, it’s good enough for Barry.
WatchMGMT “Time to Pretend” So the video is a little wack, but i love this song.
Radio Lab →
I don’t know if you’re listening to this yet or not, but you really should be. It’s one of the best radio programs out there. If you like science and This American Life, you will love this. They have all 15 episodes up for streaming or free downloading, so there’s no reason not to check it out. The new season starts in February and i’m excited. I’m ready to...
kayfabe: Am I the only one not too fond of Peacock Tail? No, you’re not. It’s ok, i suppose, but it’s too bland for my taste. It need some color; something to break up all that white.
Haggis to reprise Crash for small screen →
Canadian writer-director Paul Haggis plans to turn his Oscar-winning film Crash into a TV series on the U.S.-based Starz cable network.Sounds like a perfect reason to cancel your subscription to Starz.
New Gnarls Barkley - “Run” →
Pretty good tune from the upcoming album. Got a nice throwback vibe. It’s not as instantly catchy as “Crazy”, but that also means it won’t get run into the ground like “Crazy”.
“Part of me believes that Bush wishes he could’ve stayed back at the White House,...”

Let's start speculatin'
No matter what problems i may have with their website, the Pitchfork Music Festival is my favorite fest of the year, mainly cause it’s pretty cheap and i don’t have to leave town to get to it. Now that the Coachella lineup has been released, we’re getting to that time of year when Pitchfork starts the slow drip of announcements regarding it’s own lineup. Each year the fest...

Not Fooling Anybody: A Chronicle of Bad... →
I love this site. I really like the pictures of fast food places converted into normal businesses. Like this one.
"HULK OUT" LIST →
This is a list of EVERY reason that drove Dr. David Banner to “hulk out” in the television series, “The Incredible Hulk.” I Love this one: 95. Falling out of a plane without a parachute, then being given a parachute which causes the person who pushed him to be told “That guy has nine lives”, to which the mean person responds by pulling out a rifle and saying...
“It looks like Happy Hands at Home Granny Circle.”

Books That Make You Dumb →
Facebook data of 10 most popular books at every college plotted against average SAT scores for those schools. Creative :) — gtmcknight
Filler: a game →
Pretty simple one-button Flash game that’s a good way to kill a little time on this Friday.
“I need you not only to vote, but I need you to get cousin Pookie to vote. I need...”
– Obama. I don’t know if this is for real, but i sure hope so. (ht Tyler Town)
