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?

Victor-tees!

Monday, December 1st, 2008

Earlier this month, I told you about a contest that FIC was co-sponsoring along with Color Overload, which incidentally is a highly-trafficked t-blog that has recently unveiled fantastic, animal-themed designs at its webstore.

I’ve just been notified by Andy, the editor of Thunderfrogs, an influential U.K.-based tee shirt blog and the organizer of said competition, that the lucky winners have been determined.

As you’ll learn in his post, two entrants were selected at random. Their prize? The FIC tee of their choice.

Tim G., of San Francisco has chosen the Caduceus tee; meanwhile, Aeric W. of Japan has elected to receive the Mumford top, fine selections both. I commend the victors for their good taste. I’ve embedded pics of both below, so you can see for yourself.

Ain’t No Fun (If The Homies Can’t Have None)

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

As a celeb, you know you’ve crossed into the cultural elite when… you find yourself swapping recipes — and prefab street slang — with the high priestess of American crafting and party planning.

Remember when Snoop actually rapped (at a highly proficient level)? I don’t either. With any luck, this tee on eBay will jog our respective memories…
