ROCKY VS RAMBO →
scottaukerman:
Around a year ago, a few friends and I watched all four Rambo movies in one day. We got to talking about how much fun it would be if John Rambo were to meet Rocky Balboa. So we wrote a movie about it.
We wrote the outline on one page of paper (in gold ink), split it up into six sections, and each wrote around 15-20 pages, without looking at each others’ work. I got the last...
WatchTo think that these guys are not only writing all of these videos, and all of the articles on the website, but also writing countless headlines that just scroll along the bottom of the videos. It’s incredible. Wait until the end of this one for “Viggo Mortensen charged with hissing like a snake at a small child”
Sam Reich: Another email from Streeter →
samreich:
Me: I’ll hurry this into production.
Streeter: Make haste, young Sam. For a kingdom may be your namesake, but at the banquetting hall of The Mighty Internet, tis he who claims the mutton first who rules! True, in days of yore we practiced our merry arts without thought or regard for time. Why…

WatchFive Second Films is one of those things that is just so brilliant you start to wonder why you would even bother making internet videos. It plays to every strength of the internet imaginable. Short attention spans, a new video every weekday, a few guest appearances by Patton Oswalt. They really knock it out of the park.
To all of you dinguses who think "The Simpsons"...

960 Grid System →
mikefarrell:
Kevin Fales showed me this yesterday, pretty handy download I thought I would share:

In researching this kind of stuff a few months ago I...

Technology Is The New Smoking →
jonathanmoore:
We’ve all been there; You’re at an outing or a dinner table with friends but itching to check your email or Facebook or Twitter or Instagram or Google+ or Yammer or what ever digital hit of serotonin you prefer. Have you ever “gone to the bathroom” in order to check email or come up with a socially appropriate excuse to pull out your smartphone just so you can check your @...
Demetri Martin will be writing, producing, and... →
One one hand, he’s Demetri Martin. And on the other hand, CBS is where funny goes to die.
It is a blind script deal though, so CBS has signed on before they even know what the show is about. Maybe Demetri can trick them somehow…

Justin Halpern: A Conversation With My Dad →
justinhalpern:
(My dad and I, 1983)
So yesterday the TV show based off the twitter feed, and my book, Shit My Dad Says, was cancelled. I worked on the show for the last year. It was a bummer, until I remembered that I got a TV show based off a twitter feed and a book and was basically the luckiest…
