I’m not sure what to say about the Awkward Family Photos website. It is what it sounds like, and it made me laugh out loud. Click “Read More” for a selection, or visit the site to waste an hour.

Volcano Erupting in Iceland
March 25, 2010 – 12:21 pm
Driving through Iceland for the past week, I’ve been hearing a lot about the volcano that’s erupting. Iceland isn’t very big – about the size of Virginia – but all the roads going to that area are closed, so there wasn’t much to see. Yesterday, we came to a spot where some cars were stopped. [...]

All the Cool Kids Are Doing It
March 22, 2010 – 11:07 am
The winner for weirdest and yet somehow most obvious conspiracy theory to burn up YouTube of late is that which postulates Jay-Z is a Freemason/an Illuminatus. The evidence presented is rather undeniable: apparently Jay-Hova associates with wealthy white men, makes hand gestures and designs clothing containing silkscreened imagery.

David Lynch Interview Project
March 20, 2010 – 8:51 am

Spike Jonze & Opening Ceremony
March 19, 2010 – 8:31 am
Like a DJ playing a heavily requested jam, a jubilant Spike Jonze introduced his short film I’m Here to a cool crowd at the Tribeca Grand last night with, “It’s a robot love story, for all you romantics out there.” As we’ve come to expect from Jonze’s work the film was warm with a tinge [...]
Mother by Bong Joon-Ho
March 18, 2010 – 8:16 am
Bong Joon-Ho is a fantastic filmmaker. His greedy revelry in icky and tense moments gives his movies a moody, panicky pace rendering them utterly enchanting. Add to that his almost slapstick sense of physical comedy–usually intruding into said tense moments–and you get this wonderful shimmering life that makes his characters human and his world entirely [...]
