It Goes to 11

Between Captain America, Thor and X-Men: First Class, 2011 promises to be a banner year for Marvel superheroes on the wide screen. Of the three, the latter holds the most appeal for this writer, as it promises to explore the early origins of the relationship between Professor X and Magneto. Interestingly, it’s also been positioned as a period piece with mutant mod trappings, set in the late 60’s and juxtaposed against real historical events of the era. Naturally, there’s been some heated fanboy chatter online about the casting (not so much the actual actors, but the roles they will assume), the plot, the rushed...

Last Exit to Nowhere is easily one of the better movie-themed tee cos. on the web today. They’ve built a deep catalog around some relatively obscure movie references, most of which are executed with expert flair and precision. Their newest design, the Bantu Wind Tramp Steamer tee, is a clever nod to the fictional vessel of the same name from the very first Indiana Jones flick, Raiders of the Lost Ark. Attentive fans will remember it as the boat that the Nazis board and make off with Indy’s ladyfriend, Marion Ravenwood, as the film meters towards its climactic beat. Take a peek: Closer: Refresh...

It’s Valentine’s Day. Again. This year, skip the obvious baubles — chocolates, flowers, stuffed animals, jewelry, tchotchkes, et al. — and give that special someone what they really want need: a t-shirt that proclaims your undying affection for the whole world wide webz to see (and gawk about). Along these lines, we present 25 27 28 50 51 55 designs — most thematically appropriate, others woefully off-message — to put you, and your partner(s), in a romantic state of bliss. Said shirts, mind you, are drawn from a wide assortment of sources (read: the Internet) and are ranked in no particular order, because honestly, we love all of...

Playing hooky is really just a state of mind. Take, for instance, the amazing photo embedded below, which was submitted by our friend — and Found Item fan — Jeremy. Using screen grabs from the film (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, duh), J and his pals painstakingly sourced all of the elements needed to recreate the principal characters’ wardrobe. One such piece, naturally enough, was our Caduceus design (far right). The fidelity to the original, as a whole here, is rather remarkable; our kudos, gang. UPDATE: We spoke with Jeremy about his photo earlier in the week. Here’s what he had to say…...

Oh, the fucking humanity. Jawbreaker. Mean Girls. The Sleepover. The Craft. Every bad girl subplot on Gossip Girl. None even come close to the dark surreality of Heathers, a movie that, to this day, no one will watch with me. Because at one point in my life — let’s say 1992 for convenience — I seriously watched this movie at least twice a week. It was in constant rotation for a while, along with Grease, Rock n’ Roll High School, and Barton Fink. Make of that what you will, and join me as I revisit a film that deserves a revival. (But, please, sweet baby Jesus, not a wretched remake.)...
