Links of the Day:
-The AV Club usually has some of the best stuff on the web when it comes to movies and television, and it's true again with these articles: The AV Club's writer's take a look at films that start off pretty well, but then eventaully stall in the third act.
-They also have a great running bit called 'The New Cult Canon' and in this particular one they tackle the ridiculous yet entertaining "Starship Troopers". For anyone that's seen the movie, you know what I'm talking about. They delve deep, looking at the anti-war aspects and other themes. Plus, Doogie Howser aka Barney Stinson aka Neil Patrick Harris stars in it as well. 'Nuff said.
-Ever wonder what could happen if 'Die Hard' met '24'? IFC tries to imagine some of the best "Killer crossovers we'd love to see (and never will)." The combinations truly are great, especially with "Dirty Harry" and "Bullitt", but the mashed up pictures really make it. Doc Brown and the Termiator? Count me in. Too bad we'll probably never get to see any of these, but when it comes to Hollywood, who knows?
-Remember the 90's? Remeber Kevin Smith's "Dogma"? Cinematical does a nice column about Smith and the film's overly religious and satirical aspects and it's pretty funny.
-Cinematical's countdown lists are usually on point, but in this case, they hit the nail right on the head with "Cinematical Seven's Ass Kicking Teachers", especially at number one.
-I still can't get enough of this Nike World Cup ad directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, the director of "21 Grams". Here's an article on Slate.com detailing some of how it got made, and if you haven't watched it, get a clue man.
-Like a lot of peeps these days, I'm a big fan of Drake (even since his wheelchair bound days on "Degrassi"...come on, admit it, you watched it). Here's a great article from Slate.com about his much anticipated album "Thank Me Later", which drops this week.
