We were pretty damned excited when the Calvin and Hobbes Stamp was announced, and even more when the Complete Calvin and Hobbes three book boxset came out. Which makes us a prime audience for this documentary. Titled Dear Mr. Watterson, the trailer takes a deep look into the cultural impact of what we think is […]

Back in March we talked about that Quentin Tarantino vs Coen Brothers Art Show and now they’ve made a video of the show. Moreover, there’s also links now to buy both original works and also a full collection of high quality prints from the show via Spoke Art. Honestly some very clever artwork in there […]

Ok, it’s not really to the death. And truth be told, it’s not even a duel. It is, however, an exhibit showcasing artwork inspired by the two filmmakers. Undoubtedly two of the most important and best auteurs of our time (yes, I’m considering the Brothers Coen as one singular film maker in this circumstance), there […]

Although they struck out at the Oscars, Joel and Ethan Coen’s True Grit was still one of 2010’s best films. Really it’s hard to go wrong when you throw Jeff Bridges into a Coen Bros movie, you can pretty much expect a classic (even the trailer had us excited). While filming the movie, Bridges carried […]

Because the Chinaman is not the issue here. I’m not sure this 3×5 potleaf, Duddha-with-a-bowling-ball throw rug will cause any throwdown issues like any rug ever did for the Dude, but if I had $245 lying around, I’d throw on my jellies and toss this puppy down right by my bong and bowling pins. There […]

The great literary magazine McSweeney’s returns with one of their most imaginatively plackaged issues, Number 36. Utilizing a very innovative presentation, which borrows more than a bit from Visionaire‘s philosophy of outside-the-box packaging (no pun intended), the “issue” is actually a 275-cubic-inch crate filled with goodies. The giant head box is filled with a litany […]

I can’t help it. I got a funny feeling this new Coen brothers True Grit is gonna be the best movie I’ve ever seen. It’s a gut thing. I don’t know if I’ve ever watched a trailer and had such a yearning to be in the dark theater, immediately, watching the movie. That’s how I […]

To me, there are no better filmmakers than the Coen Brothers. Sure, there are a handful of people at their echelon, but when Joel and Ethan are at the top of their game they are simply unbeatable. Hence Barton Fink, Fargo, Raising Arizona, Big Lebowski and the jaw-dropping No Country for Old Men. Pure cinematic […]
