Now this is the story all about how my life got flipped-turned upside down...

if you're noticing a theme here in recent posts it may have something to do with the fact that the 3pies4rolls ladies saw Inception together this week, and (shocking) it's awesome. Just how awesome? I'll let the internet answer that question:

as if you cared: it's kim's review of "inception"!

exceptionally well-directed & acted, stylish as hell, compelling & intelligent. a must-see. but prepare to work a bit; christopher nolan trusts us enough to forget us (to steal a line from michael chabon) and take us on a ride that we may never fully understand.

top ten, indeed.

postscript: leonardo dicaprio & joseph gordon-levitt are currently competing for my hand in marriage. stay tuned for my decision.

Pacey Soup for the Teenage Soul

One man's struggle to continue celebrating the greatest television character ever. Period.

Apparently Funny or Die's embed codes hate me right now, so you'll have to go check out Pacey-con on their own site.



I don't wanna wait!!!

**updated with the video! hi pacey!

If movie titles were honest

Oh, Cracked.com, you old so and so. While I feel like some of your recent photoshop contests have been less than impressive, this one makes me smile. Be sure to check out all the very honest movie titles here, but these are my 3 favorites...



strong damn point here:


The REAL Decision

This will especially appeal to those of you who, like me, were chumps enough to tune in to ESPN and watch LeBron James take a televised dump on the city of Cleveland. But, let's face it, even if you couldn't care less about sports, Paul Rudd and Steve Carell are always worth a watch...

maybe it wouldn't have been cancelled in the 80's...

Why did someone decide to re-imagine the Firefly opening credits as if it was made in the 80's? because SHUT THE HELL UP, that's why. Again, a tip of the hat to people with too much time on their hands...



you might notice a very important doctor was left out of those credits. One excuse given was that it made it too long (seriously, you couldn't make time for Simon?), but apparently the truth is that he and the somewhat known extras just got their own spinoff...



thanks to hot tipper kristen!

things that probably aren't going to suck...

Reasons we love Cage- Overacting

This could easily become a regular feature (I'm looking at you, Nanc, our resident Cage expert!), because, frankly, there are just so many reasons to love Nic Cage.



There's quite a backlog of possible posts for this (don't worry, we'll get to the financial skills, pyramids, dinosaur eggs, and views on animal procreation), but this post is dedicated to one of the single finest reasons to love Cage: his acting. Remember, this man is an OSCAR WINNER (i know, right?), but we love him for things like this:



Fortunately, 3pies4rolls favorite Television Without Pity has compiled a list of Cage's finest overacting roles. I know what you're saying, how did they manage to leave off Ghost Rider and Snake Eyes?? (yes, I'm qualified to make that comment, I watched Ghost Rider from start to finish) Sadly, no website is perfect (um, except ours?), so we have to live with the oversight, but they're forgiven because instead they gave us lines like this:

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans
"Who can we get to play this cop who's strung out on drugs most of the time, causing him to act erratically and hallucinate that there are iguanas in the room?"
"I saw Nic Cage talking to iguanas in the bathroom of a Denny's just the other day."
"Perfect! Go check that Denny's and see if he's still there."

Think about it, what actor other than Nic Cage would make you laugh after reading that, then pause to consider if it might not actually be true?

And so, Mr. Cage, we once again salute you!

a very special episode

remember when you were watching your favorite early 90's sitcom just looking for a laugh and suddenly you were learning about the dangers of alcohol, eating disorders, and drugs (yeah, mostly just drugs- watch out for those caffeine pills!). This is what it was like to experience live...





also, huffpo has been kind enough to put together a selection of their favorites. Remember: there's no hope with dope!

snakes and leeches

um, for reals, how did I not know that these exist? I'm holding all of you responsible for not alerting me to the genius. Seriously, every one of them is amazing (every one of the official ones, at least, some of the copycats are less incredible). So this is my thank you to you, Derek Waters, and to every one of the history majors/lovers you got drunk. Let drunk history teach you about...

William Henry Harrison:


Abraham Lincoln and Fredrick Douglass:

Alexander Hamilton:


these are just my 3 favorites, but the others (featuring the likes of John C. Reilly, Jack Black, Crispin Glover, and Danny McBride) are also amazing...

oh man, I would SOOO see this movie

Arrested Development, reimagined as an action movie...



seriously, give me anything arrested development related, pretty please?

dreamy

I love the list of completely random awesome famous people who are such fans of Glee that they call up to either offer their music or ask for a role on the show. Today's news is that we have Oscar winner Javier Bardem to look forward to next season. dreamy...



apparently he will be playing a rock star who befriends Artie. We're told to look forward to some Spanish heavy metal. rad.

Happy Independence Day!

And by "Independence Day" I of course mean mankind's struggle against our alien invaders...

Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries!

Highly enjoyable rant of Hollywood's best insults, in no particular order. They do seem rather focused on a few films (I mean, I loved In the Loop, but I'm not sure it needed 3 different insults included), but, with a hundred, they still get to spread the love around. This one goes out to all the stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf-herders of the world:
