You can watch the first 17 minutes of Jamie Benning’s amazing documentary online. I can’t wait to see the whole thing.
Raiding the Lost Ark is an in-depth insight into the making of the 1981 collaboration between Spielberg and Lucas. This fan made Filmumentary contains behind the scenes video, rare interviews with cast and crew, reconstructed deleted scenes and subtitled facts.
This is a preliminary version of part 1. It’s pre-QC and pre-audio mix.
At last! ‘Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, Two! First part here. Other possible titles for this post: “We actually slept eight to the muffin.” “[background] zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz” “I’m sorry, could I have a drip of water?”
*sigh* Amazing. Check out the thunderstorms, too. I highly recommend watching full-screen.

The most delightful thing I’ve seen in a long time. io9 calls it “a delightfully weird cartoon about a trigonometry-loving T-Rex” and that about sums it up.
Ellen sent me this, and I’m pleased to say that the first couple paths I chose – I’d read all of the books on them. But this basically makes for one huge checklist, and I still have a ways to go before I close this one out. After I finish ‘Never Let Me Go’ I’m going to be looking for a new series since I previously completed Louise Penny’s fantastic Inspector Gamache series. I really loved ‘A Game of Thrones’, but since the series follows the books so closely, I think I’ll hold off on the next book until after season 2 airs. I haven’t read ‘Watership Down’ or ‘the Once and Future King’ or ‘Anathem’. I also haven’t read many of the classics: Heinlein, Bradbury, Asimov, LeGuin, Dick, Vonnegut, Clarke. Suggestions?

A dad made his son a Rocketeer costume! Fantastic – maybe for next year? This kid is the cutest ever. If he came to my door at Halloween I’d give him all my candy and probably some cash.
