“All Brain, No Penis”

Monday, January 5th, 2009

For your enjoyment this morning, I present a classic clip from Real Genius, the film that started it all here at FIC.

I could tell you where to get Chris Knight’s tee, but is that really necessary?

Stiles’ Top Ten Lines from Teen Wolf

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

Loyal readers of It Goes to 11 know that we heart 1985’s Teen Wolf here at FIC. The implausible story, the inspired comedic performances, the side-splitting dialogue, the feel-good conclusion — this fine flick has it all in spades.

Michael J. Fox is certainly the star of the film, but in many ways Jerry Levine’s Stiles character (pictured below) steals the show with his self-assured preening, cocky chutzpah, entrepreneurial spirit, and rich, fantastically colored wardrobe. (Shameless reminder: we sell two of his attention-grabbing tees here and here.) For a more in-depth discussion of Stiles’ cultural significance, I urge you to read this informative, expertly deconstructed piece of film criticism that I stumbled across while researching this post.

In any case, I’ve compiled a list of Stiles’ best, most memorable lines. Enjoy!

10. “Are you gonna tell me you’re a fag?”

9. “Surf’s up…”

8. “That’s my middle name.”

7. “What’s it like coming out of the closet?”

6. “You looking to catch something?”

5. “What can I say — you’re beautiful.”

4. “I heard Mr. Johnson from shop class got his dick stuck in a vacuum cleaner.”

3. “Hey baby, nice hair cut. Be all you can be…how was Grenada?”

2. “So, what can a teen wolf do?”

1. “Can you do that anytime you want?”

Honorable mentions: “All sizes, no waiting!” and “How do you think he feels? He feels like a WINNER!”

Terminator Salvation Trailer #2

Sunday, December 14th, 2008

I’m a sucker for big, sci-fi action movies and the man vs. machine Terminator franchise is, without doubt, one of my personal faves. Naturally, then, I’m pretty stoked for the next, highly-anticipated installment, Terminator Salvation, which is scheduled to drop in 2009. In theory, it will be the first of a three-picture story arc. I’ve embedded the newest trailer to surface on the web below and IMHO, I think it looks rather tits:

Christian Bale’s annoying cookie monster voiceover aside, what do you think of this clip?

More importantly, what do you think of this awesome tee I found online at eBay?

The Hits Keep Coming…

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

In advance of the holiday shopping season, we’re excited to introduce two new t-shirts to the FIC roster!

First up, we have “Life Sucks and Then You Die.” This tee was modeled, quite fashionably by Stiles in Teen Wolf, a film that I would argue has not received its critical due. Loyal readers of this blog might also remember that I borrowed one of Stiles’ other outfits for Halloween — and subsequently encountered, completely by chance, someone else dressed as Teen Wolf.

Our second new top comes from yet another classic 80’s flick, Revenge of the Nerds. “Greasy Tony’s,” worn by the unforgettable Booger, features a double-sided design and is printed on an American-Apparel raglan jersey. Just looking at it makes me hungry, and remember there’s no charge for extra grease.

Both of these shirts cost $21.95, plus shipping.
