A formerly cross-continental & cross-apartmental, now cross-town discussion on film featuring Owen and Matt

Continuing this blog's steady decline into becoming a movie-news-aggregating site.


Or, if we're being honest, a CHUD-(and-occasionally-Badass-Digest)-news-aggregating site. But I'm sorry, if I see something sufficiently cool at some other movie site, I feel it's my duty to post about it here in order to bring the news to a wider audience. (That's a joke, it case you were wondering.)

Anyway, the helpful movie folks at CHUD recently wrote a piece about the site If We Don't, Remember Me, which features a slew of fantastic-looking film-related .gifs. Their selections range from the intuitive (Lawrence of Arabia, The Royal Tenenbaums, Blade Runner, The Holy Mountain) to the inspired (The Shining, Young Frankenstein, Dr. Strangelove, Eraserhead) to the, well, let's just say "counterintuitive" (Gentlemen Broncos). They're all worth a look, but be forewarned of the hypnotic power of an ever-repeating Jack Torrance, Travis Bickle, or Amélie Poulain.

And if that doesn't satisfy your .gif-grubbing goûts, check out one of the cornerstones of the CHUD Message Board, the thread ".gif it all you've got!" There you'll find a veritable cornucopia of brief, silent, low-resolution video-file goodness to amuse and disturb you, most but not all of it film-related. (Besides, any thread that starts off with an hommage to that underappreciated masterpiece (and, as you can see, kid-kill extravaganza), Postal, is doing something right.) Enjoy.
