Teach Me Your Secular Ways!

Sorry guys, this link actually has nothing to do with “Arrested Development.” Instead, here are six religious films made by secular filmmakers. Like how I did that? (PW)

Adere passed along this very cool website that contains hundreds and hundreds of title screen shots from films dating back from the ’20s through today. It’s an exceptionally well-designed site and fun to explore. (Annyas)

Wow, it took the Jackson family a whopping three whole months to figure out a way to exploit Michael Jackson’s kids. I had only given them three weeks, myself. (Webster’s)

Oh, of course some asshole out there is bitching that today’s kids movies are too far “left-leaning.” (Cinematical)

I always wondered what Juliette Lewis’ music sound like, but not enough to go out of my way and actually listen to it. And, what do you know? It’s predictably terrible! (TMITM)

This is outstanding. Some crazed X-Men fan gave Hugh Jackman a life-sized Wolverine pinata of himself. HILARIOUS. (Agent Bedhead)

Here’s a salute to Jesse Frederick. What, you don’t know who Jesse Frederick is? What did you think, TV theme shows write themselves? (Holy Taco)

I never watched “Southland” (as apparently a lot of people didn’t) but apparently it was actually going to be awesome. Oh, goddammit. (Warming Glow)

Here’s a list of romantic comedy gestures that girls don’t want in real life. What, chicks don’t like it when a guy dramatically quits his job, and then he doesn’t have a job anymore? (Guyism)

Remember those supposedly candid clips of Seth Green flipping out? Well, turns out they were for Butterfinger. Lame, Seth Green. Laaaaame. (Film Drunk)

This is an awesome drawing of the title character of the much anticipated Precious, as sketched onto an iPhone. Does anyone use that app? I must have it!! (Film Experience)

Since you guys got so fired up over the Karl Lagerfeld story yesterday (Really? Nearly 100 comments on a Pajiba Love? Damns!) you’re going to love this one about Ralph Lauren photoshopping and subsequently firing a 5’10, 120 lb. model for being too fat. (Celebitchy)

Everyone’s favorite internet cat — or at least mine, anyway — Winston, has made his literary debut. Congratulations! (FourFour)

This clip is nothing short of amazing (not as amazing as our own movie quote mash-up, naturally) — a remix using sound bites from countless movies and TV shows:

And finally, I had to throw this in. Some people would might find the below clip in astoundingly poor taste — but since this is Pajiba you guys will probably snort liquid out of your noses:

May I be the first to say how effing awesome that second clip was.

Kevin Smith is Catholic. Nice work, Philadelphia Weekly.

What? That's how they shower over there. If you thought that was in poor taste you should see how they brush their teeth. Really? They don't? Bollocks!

Posted by: admin at October 14, 2009 1:25 PM

You were right. I did snort liquid out of my nose at that last clip. I just think it's odd that I wasn't drinking anything at the time…

Dino De Laurentiis originally wanted to film the entire Bible. Happily, he only got halfway through Genesis.

So, he pretty much just shot all the people begatting each other? Biblical porn?

Posted by: Jay at October 14, 2009 1:23 PM

Hee.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverpuppet at October 14, 2009 1:35 PM

I was way more impressed by the first clip.

I know for a FACT that Fidel Castro secretly funded Hannah-Barbera for years. Scooby Doo and Clue Club in particular.

Oh my word. My heart usually bleeds...but that last clip? heee!

Also, how fired is the Photoshop lackey who squinched that girl? Amateur.

Posted by: replica at October 14, 2009 1:44 PM

Loved the musical clip! Very impressive.

How many times do you think those people drove past that bus stop just waiting for the next big rain? I'm betting it's one of those kids Dad and his buddy. It's something my Dad would have done and then come home at night laughing about it.

Posted by: Jiffyzen at October 14, 2009 1:53 PM

I would kick someone's ass for showering Monkey with nasty-ass rain puddle water on purpose. That would be bloody brilliant when I water-boarded their asses with sewage.

I'm a bit protective of my kid.

I watched "Southland" because I figured my precious "The Unusuals" would get canceled and I wanted to have some cop drama to watch. It was alright. I was sick of C. Thomas Howell's manorexic face and the OC kid's lack of facial expressions. When the That Thing You Do drummer got shot in the last episode, though, that was sweet.

You think the Ralph Lauren thing is bad, you should peruse the www.anntaylor.com website. Every single jacket, blouse and skirt has been photoshopped so unnaturally that the models look like freaks. Hips are missing. Ribs are missing. Pocket flaps are missing. I just got on their site and sent them a nastygram. I think they need a few more nastygrams to let them know that people noticed, and that we're boycotting their clothing until they fix it.

Posted by: BWeaves at October 14, 2009 2:03 PM

The second vid would have been funnier if we saw the reactions of the kids getting splashed. And does the bus driver remind anyone else of Otto from The Simpsons?

Posted by: Brie at October 14, 2009 2:06 PM

Well if a 5'10" 120 lb model can't wear Ralph Lauren's clothes because she's too fat then it makes you wonder just who those very expensive clothes in all the Ralph Lauren sections of upscale department stores is for? Talk about a limited market.
And that is the WORST photoshop ever.

Posted by: brite at October 14, 2009 2:06 PM

Replica: Unfortunately, it was the model who got fired. I bet the photoshop guy is still working for them.

That Yoplait ad running on the side is just gross. Here you have the media screaming constantly about the threat of various flu strains and how important it is to wash your hands, and then you get an ad that shows women (don't men ever eat yogurt?) slurping the excess yogurt off the lids with their tongues and then shoving those same saliva-coated lids into envelopes. Ick.

What, we don't get to hear Lewis' music for ourselves? C'mon! I was looking forward to some bad singing! Although she sang in "Strange Days" and I thought she was OK.

I always like watching actors receive crap made by their fans--it's a great way to measure just how good they are at acting. Jackman isn't hiding the revulsion too well.

Hey! She's the best Oscar-nominated-for-acting-turned-rock-star we have. JL and the Licks/and the New Romantics put on killer live shows and the lyrics are like a nailgun to the retina in the best way possible. My dream concert would be JL and Whatever Her Band is Now opening, then Regina Spektor in full-tilt boogie sailor mode, leading into headliners The Yeah Yeah Yeahs. There would be so much crazy on the bill the building would cave in and we'd still be rocking. Crazy rock bitches: gotta love'em.

If those kids are dumb enough to stand right by a a HUGE GIANT FUCKING PUDDLE then they deserve a good soaking.
Life is cruel, learn early.

Plus the dude driving seemed to be an old hand at the drive-by-soaking routine,are these kids 'special'? Have they not learned from experience? There is a similar puddle next to a very busy bus stop near my house. Let me tell you, EVERYONE stands way back from the street on the puddle days.
Street smarts: Get 'em.

Posted by: Lindsey with an 'e' at October 14, 2009 2:25 PM

You've obviously never seen Tina Youthers sing at the Tiki Room.

Great. Now I've got to track down my Natural Born Killers soundtrack to get JL's "Born Bad" out of my head (which was actually a pretty good song).

the iphone app is probably 'brushes,' which is pretty cool. google "new yorker iphone cover" for a demo.

re: that second video

i was leaving a voicemail for the auto tag agency and LAUGHED STUPID-LOUDLY into the phone.

Posted by: gp at October 14, 2009 2:47 PM

gp, on the news tonight they talked to one of the kids mums.
She had seen the video and admitted she laughed too. While her kid sat beside her.

That RL model looks like a bobble head on a popsicle stick. It's sick. I didn't even read the accompanying article, RL deserves whatever flack they get over that shit.

Posted by: Eyvi at October 14, 2009 3:57 PM

poor taste? there's no such thing when it comes to drenching kids in their stupid faces.

Posted by: stopthemadness at October 14, 2009 5:25 PM

The driver in the second video is a dick.

Posted by: DGM at October 14, 2009 6:51 PM

I'd love to meet the guy who made that 2nd clip. So I could shake his hand then break off both thumbs and shove them up his ass.

Posted by: EricD at October 14, 2009 8:39 PM

Hah. That 2nd clip totally WAS funny.

And that film titles website? Will likely keep me up waaaaaaay past my bedtime. I'm enthralled by historic movies. Learning about 'lost films' is one of my favorite little hobbies.

Posted by: Gabs at October 14, 2009 9:29 PM

You know what?

I don't think photoshopping a perfectly healthy woman to look like a freak is keeping integrity in your art.

I'm not an idiot, though, so I could be wrong.

Posted by: Schlegel at October 14, 2009 11:50 PM

Well, that's not entirely true, Kevin Smith's a Roman Catholic, accept it.

Posted by: George at October 15, 2009 2:08 AM

I liked Southland (though every ep, I found myself looking at Ben Mackenzie and wondering about the height requirements for the police force), and I'm not at all surprised it was apparently going to be awesome. Boo! to the stupid cancellation fairies. I hope it does go to TNT.

Ah, another fashion house promotes unrealistic and unhealthy body images? Quel surprise. Seriously, does anyone think these bozos have any relevance nowadays? I can't even be arsed to get annoyed about it.

I'm going to put on my grumpy hat and say the kid-splashing is not funny. Those kids were probably pretty distressed by it, and I bet their parents were pissed. I know I would be.
Apparently 'happy soaking', where drivers deliberately splash pedestrians and film it, is on the rise in the UK. Any driver who does that to me, I'll get the cunt at the next traffic light if I can, and scratch hell out of his car! I'll take his numberplate down and report him, too - it counts as a crime.

Aww come on. It doesn't look like there's much room to get out of the way, unless they stand a way off from the bus stop, in which case they risk missing the bus (because the driver would go right by if there's nobody at the stop - bus drivers can be assholes that way).
I stand by my 'the driver is a cunt' opinion.
