Reel: Movie Middle Fingers Supercut

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

Here is a rather cool supercut of movie characters flipping the bird to get you in the mood for your drive home today.  My favorite would have to be Jennifer Aniston’s finger to the boss in Office Space at the 0:59 mark.  The music ofcourse is fitting, Cee Lo Green’s “F*ck You!”  So this may be NSFW, enjoy.

A tribute video was created to honor Steven Spielberg when he received the 2012 David O. Selznick Achievement Award from the Producers Guild. The tribute highlights all the films that Spielberg served as Producer, Executive Producer and Director/Producer.  Spielberg is well deserved of all of his awards if you ask me, he’s help make some of the best films of our time and few people have made an impact in the industry the way he has.

Accepting the award, Steven Spielberg said about the people put this video together: “I think we should have them working for us”.

The great video was edited by Todd Sandler.  Watch it below:

There isn’t much more to say other than this is Lionel Richie’s “Hello“, performed by character lines from movies.  I can’t imagine how long this took to make, it’s so far the best thing I’ve seen online in 2012.  [Via: thehighdefinite]

Kees van Dijkhuizen’s annual look at the year in movies is always a delight, this year is no exception.  His words are below along with the video, also check out 2008,2009, and 2010.

A mix of laughs, kisses, fights, tears and everything in between. Here’s what brought us together this year. God, I love cinema. Each year I’m reminded of the sheer force a couple of frames can hold, and it’s something only found in film. It seems to just fly by, and if you don’t pay attention, you might miss it all. A gorgeous masterpiece about one family coping with the end of the world, the portrait of a young man diagnosed with cancer, the end of a ten-year adventure that reached millions, a cynical writer discovering the magic of Paris… No matter how you look at it, 2011 had something to offer for everyone.

Watch it after the jump:

The Alamo Drafthouse has a strict no-texting policy that if you don’t agree with, you’re wrong.  The Drafthouse does great PSAs (the original angry texter is under the Patton Oswalt video below) so while in Austin to promote Young Adult, director Jason Reitman and star Patton Oswalt made this “Don’t Talk” PSA for them.  Enjoy:

Reel: The Films of Christopher Nolan

Tuesday, November 29th, 2011

nolanKees Van Dijkhuizen has another montage to share with us [see his other 'films of' here] this time focusing on the films of Christopher Nolan.  Watch the great video below which will only get you more excited for The Dark Knight Rises, nothing wrong with that.

After hundreds of requests, one of the most visionary, iconic and successful filmmakers of our generation has finally gotten the [the films of] treatment. Christopher Nolan’s films have kept anyone of us on the edge of their seat. Every film is filled with secrets, surprises, twists and turns, and only a true movie mastermind could keep even the biggest film nut fooled until the very last minute. They’re films that demand a second, third and fourth viewing. Christopher Nolan is a perfect example of traditional filmmaking with modern twists, and is a fine addition to a series already filled to the brink with inspiring artists.

Teeth. He has them.

“This scene is unbelievable because my frustration is that this taxi cab does not understand where I want to go.”

This is from the actual commentary track on the Total Recall DVD.  It’s been going around the Internet for days now, and for good reason.  It was recorded ten years ago and captures Arnold Schwarzenegger’s old man complex perfectly.  It’s real, I assure you.  Sure movie commentary can be insightful and informative, but who wants that?  I want someone telling me what’s happening on screen.  Here you go:

For Halloween video editor Kees Van Dijkhuizen[see past posts] has created a montage showcasing the films of Tim Burton.  As he puts it:

Tim Burton is one of those filmmakers who tells stories unlike anyone else. Whether it’s about an alien invasion, the worst director of all time or a bride risen from the dead, Burton’s films are filled with unique and iconic characters and visuals that make his films unforgettable.
