Dad makes time-lapse videos of kids growing up (2 videos)

This is pretty great.  It’s one of those things I need to remember to do someday, but inevitably won’t.  And even if I do remember, I’d probably do it for four or five weeks and then lose interest in it. BUT, my short attention span doesn’t change the fact that these videos are amazing.  Basically, these videos show two kids, a daughter and a son, every week from birth to ages 12 and 9, respectively.  Cool...

Louis Vuitton’s ‘Taxi Encounters’ series (2 videos)

Below are two videos from the Louis Vuitton series titled Taxi Encounters.  To be honest, I don’t actually understand why the company makes them, but they’re expertly shot and fun to watch.

As someone who loves movie covers and posters, it’s an interesting idea.  I couldn’t help but...

Review of ‘The Artist’

Review of ‘The Artist’

Hasn’t it been annoying hearing pretentious film snobs talk about how amazing The Artist is over the last couple of months? ‘Oh, you need dialogue to be able to follow a film?’ they ask smugly, disgusted by your unrefined taste in movies. ‘Not Jerry Bruckheimer enough for you?’ they add, lighting their hand-rolled cigarette and adjusting their thick-rimmed glasses that they don’t actually like but wear...
