Italian Spiderman

"I have made some mistakes in my life...bad, bad mistakes."
Director Gianfranco Gatti, reminiscing on his 1964 film 'Italian Spiderman.'

Japanese TV is still sadistic, still

Thanks to Eric, we get to dip back into the well of Japanese TV madness with Human Tetris!

Oh my eyes...

When Sean Connery was James Bond 007, women wanted him and men wanted to be him.

Dressed like that, however, I think the mantra's the other way around.

Anyone know where this is from?

Not inappropriate

John Mayer's parody of 2 Girls 1 Cup kind of falls flat compared to the original (google at your own risk). I like the soft serve analogy though.

Dressed down

Here's a nice, mellow version of what is the most played track in my music library.

After digesting it for a week, this movie is not good. It's got all the Wes Anderson standbys: quirky characters, deadpan humor, a soundtrack laced with British Invasion rock, the regular Wes Anderson players and the usual themes of family and belonging, all set in a world that's both familiar yet highly foreign. The formula worked in the past, but it just didn't click here. Get ready for a long 90 minutes.

Edit: I think I know what's wrong here. It's missing a central lead character that tied everyone or everything together. Rushmore had Max Fischer. The Royal Tenenbaums had Royal Tenenbaum and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou had The Zissou. Darjeeling has three bickering brothers all with their own set of problems, and none of whom stand out from the other.
