It’s Shrekfest, the annual celebration of all things Shrek in Madison, WI! Live Shrek music! Shrek games! Shrek onion eating contest! And Shrek beer, because it’s flippin’ Wisconsin!
One time, when I was in Madison, WI, I was accosted by a drunk Santa Claus at 3am.
Shrek is love. Shrek is life.
In my strange internet adventures, I randomly came upon the Animated Muscle Women Wiki and… I… Wut?
They’re cataloging every instance of a muscly woman in animation, but whycome?
Apparently, it isn’t porn and nudity is banned from the wiki, but…. hhhmmmm…
I find this wiki anthropologically interesting and I think that it needs to be documented.
Brandspotters is a website that catalogues product placement of both real and fictional brands in movies and television. I’m mostly interested in the fictional brands that appear in multiple fictional universes.
Billy Barty was cool. Go learn more about Billy Barty.
This weeks website is all about movie magic… that gets reused a lot.
Recycled Movie Costumes is an archive of all the times that certain costumes have been reused in different productions.
If you think you’ve seen a costume used before in a different movie, then you probably have!
It’s actually pretty amazing that they’ve been using some of these costumes over and over again for decades, some even from pretty much the dawn of cinema. I guess that’s just testament to how well these costumes were constructed.
This week’s website is a holy website for good little Christians.
Tom Carder is one of my favourite crazy Christian fundamentalists. On his movie review website, CAPalert, he goes into obsessive detail about how all your favourite movies anger God.
According to Tom, the following things anger God when they’re in a movie: cohabitation, two-piece bathing suits, tattoos, farts, butts, gay people, kissing, magic use, etc. etc. etc. He believes that all the Harry Potter movies should have been rated R.
His website is also somehow a nonprofit Christian ministry, so, yeah, that’s also a thing.
