[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dd_X-C5g29o] This is inarguably the most remarkable scene involving a frisbee in the history of films. It gets particularly spectacular starting around the 1:29 mark.

I like my art films as much as the pseudo-art cinephile next to me, but I'm really looking forward to [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qxc_3jTzoic] Watch starting around the 0:26 mark for the beginning of the most outrageous scene in cinema history.
Check it out. Dustin Hoffman, Rain Man: Looks retarded, acts retarded, not retarded. Counted toothpicks, cheated cars, autistic, sho', not retarded. You got Tom Hanks, Forrest Gump: Slow yes, retarded maybe, but he charmed the pants off Nixon and won a ping pong competition, that ain't retarded. Peter Sellers, Being There: Infantile yes, retarded no. You went full retard, man. Never go full retard. You don't buy that? Ask Sean Penn, 2001, I Am Sam: Went full retard, went home empty handed.

Darren Aronofsky. Director. Fashionista.
From the Internet archives: Wilt Chamberlain, Andre the Giant, and Ahnold on the set of CONAN THE DESTROYER.
Show off. David Seidler, the screenwriter of Oscar nominated THE KING'S SPEECH also wrote COME ON, GET HAPPY: THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY STORY and KUNG FU KILLER. As the New York Times wrote, "Writers: there is hope for you."

On Christmas this year, North Korea's Dear Leader permitted a western-made movie to be shown on its state-run television network for the first time ever to celebrate the tenth anniversary of diplomatic relations between them and Britain. The honored (heavily censored) film? BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM.
I would have recommended ALI G INDAHOUSE.

Austin Sidley highlights some glaring continuity errors and plot holes in "Eat, Pray, Love."
At a restaurant in Rome, Liz (Julia Roberts), orders spaghetti carbonara, which is prepared without tomatoes. In the following scene they are served pasta with tomato sauce.In the scene where Liz (Julia Roberts) and Richard (Richard Jenkins) are sharing a soda (Thumbs-up), from one angle, the two umbrellas in the drink are open. In another, they are closed.
While eating pizza margherita at a restaurant in Naples, Liz's friend, Sophie (Tuva Novotny) complains of recently putting on twenty pounds and that her stomach now comes over the top of her pants. Liz (Julia Roberts) identifies this as a "muffin top" and claims to have one herself. Julia Roberts has never had a muffin top.
Liz (Julia Roberts) travels for a year with a single duffle bag for luggage, but somehow wears no fewer than sixty-seven perfectly coordinated outfits. At no point is the bag described as magically enchanted and capable of holding an unlimited number of items.
At the ashram in India, pilgrims are encouraged to improve their mental health and spiritual lives through a process of self-improvement of meditation and contemplation. This can actually only be achieved with anti-depressant pharmaceuticals.
When Liz (Julia Roberts) meets Felipe (Javier Bardem) in Bali, they engage in romantic flirtation without having sexual intercourse for at least three weeks. In reality, once Javier Bardem expresses romantic interest in someone, the duration until sexual intercourse is measured in minutes.
Throughout the movie, Liz (Julia Roberts) and others pray to God. There is no God.
Relatedly, I was watching Home Alone with my roommate yesterday and I noticed a mistake. When Kevin (Macaulay Culkin) goes to the grocery store by himself, he buys a big thing of laundry detergent. On his way home with the groceries, the bags both rip and everything falls out on to the street...but there's no laundry detergent. I'll wait while you pick up the contents of your brain after it exploded.

My (twisted?) friend Rolando's genius Human Centipede (this year's cult horror film) costume caused quite a stir on Saturday night.
Nod your head if you're happy it's Friday.
Pee-wee Herman at Katz's. The Pee-wee Herman Show is coming to Broadway and Judd Apatow is producing a new Pee-wee movie as well. So excited!
The Wall Street Journal asks the question why the role of Divya Narendra, a Harvard student in "The Social Network" was played by non-Desi actor Max Minghella. The real life Divya is on the left and the actor on the right in the picture above.
Another film the article neglects to mention is "21" which was based on the true story of a group of MIT students who use their brains to take the casinos for a ride. If you watched the film, you wouldn't know that the main characters in real life were Asian American students. It's all sort of absurd, especially if you were to reverse this.
