Sometimes it's hard to find the clips you want, so for this one I said "Fuck it" and just posted the first 10 minutes of Shoot'Em Up. Excellent rarely-seen film, Clive Owen and Paul Giamatti play off each other brilliantly, and that opening shootout is bliss. Any movie that plays Nirvana's 'Breed' in the first 5 minutes is instantly a favorite for me. Feel free to watch past that, it's all good.

In honor of the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, I present a clip from (not Apollo 13 surprisingly) 2001: A Space Odyssey. Yeah, it drags out, but it's just so awesome.

I feel like Ralph Fiennes has yet to find that one role that will get put him on the A-list, instead of being on the cusp of it. His portrayal of Satan Amon Goeth in Schindler's List should have been that role. At least he's got Voldemort to fall back on...

The infamous corridor fight from Oldboy. Incredibly fucked up movie, but this fight is an amazingly choreographed long take.

My Problem With Indian People (Part 9 of a 500-part Series)
They think they're so fucking crafty.
They think they can get away with anything, especially if it involves saving money. The worst example of this is the Depression-Lemonade maker. Usually they're female, between 30-60, and have a scratchy irritating voicebecause of all the lemonade they drink. They'll start off with a glass of water, no ice. After 2 minutes, they'll ask for a few slices of lemon on the side. 4 minutes later, they want some sugar. Then the squeezing and mixing frenzy begins! Before you know it, just like those guys in the 1930s who mixed the ketchup and water in diners to make tomato soup, they'll have a perfect "free" glass of lemonade. Until I charge them for it.
Other offenders include the guy who parks in two spaces in Cerritos, the lady that uses her baby as an excuse to cut in front of you in line at the grocery store, and the guy who loves the food when you ask him 3 times during dinner how everything is but when it comes time to tip the food apparently wasn't that good despite the table eating the whole lot even the piece of mint that was a garnish in the raita.

Montages are just the best thing ever, specifically 80s montages. The key ingredient in every good montage is the song, and Joe Esposito's "You're The Best, Around" catapults the Karate Kid right to the top. One thing I've always wondered though, why is it that all the white people in this are so tweaked out and jumpy when they're fighting?
