https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvQV21hkMjI Taxi Driver didn't get it's start as a script only. Some crudely drawn storyboards accompanied the screenplay long before the film was ever green lit for production. Have a look at how a great motion picture began. “Storyboards express what I want to communicate,” Scorsese told Phaidon in 2011 for an article on the exhibition “Between Film and Art: Storyboards from Hitchcock to Spielberg.” “They show how I would imagine a scene and how it should move to the next.” via OC

It's been eleven years since the release of Star Wars ep. II: Attack of the Clones in May of 2002. Back in those days of yore we had not as of yet invaded Iraq, Facebook hadn't been invented and "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" on NBC was a staple of after-midnight-TV viewing. One of Conan's great regular segments was when he'd unleash longtime friend and collaborator Robert Smigel and his hand puppet "Triumph the Insult Dog" on groups of unsuspecting humanoids.

What do "Star" Wars" and St. Patrick's Day have in common? The answer: Nothing. As ridiculous as that is, in keeping with the festive traditions of St. Patrick's Day - which soon doth approach and our contemporary culture's complete and entirely justified obsession with "Star Wars" here presented are some fun shot games to play while watching the original and/or the second "Star Wars" trilogies. Every time a bad guy shoots his laser and misses in either trilogy, take a shot.

https://vimeo.com/56673269 A seriously serious one minute animated short by Jake Fried. Yeah, it's only one minute long - what's so serious about that? Well when you consider that all 60 seconds of this film are completely hand drawn by the artist then maybe you'll begin to understand.

The year was 1980 - Richard Pryor was hotter than ever - the only problem was, it was 1980. If there is one thing the 80s will be remembered for it will be the cocaine. In this clip, recorded on the set of his film Silver Streak, Richard Pryor attempts to give an interview, but he just can't keep it together - preferring instead to express his opinions on everyone from Charlie Chaplin to Gene Wilder... all in good natured fun of course.
