I Learned!: Short Chat Roulette Documentary

NOTE : Dirty word at 0:50. This is a six minute video about Chat Roulette that Geekologie Readers Alex & Brett made after being inspired by my hard-hitting journalism on the same subject . I thought the most interesting part was the fact that a cute girl that doesn’t say or do anything can keep a guy to stay connected for 8:30, but a boy who looks like Harry Potter had 15 people disconnect on him in 3:25. That sucks, Harry (you should have used magic!). This was a project I did for fun as well as for school. It was mostly interesting despite the fact I can’t shake this feeling the internet is more important than I was or ever will be. Regardless, I think it’s an entertaining piece about how absurd the website Chat Roulette really is. If anyone who frequents chat roulette is wondering, through recording I easily saw over one hundred sets of male genitalia compared to a measly two open welcoming female parts. Wow, worse than a 1/50 chance of seeing a vajayjay versus a vapenis. Those are pretty terrible odds. Wait — where are you going? Haha, not bad enough for you, huh? Enjoy the peeners! Youtube Thanks to Alex & Brett, who claim they undertook the project in the name of science, but I suspect it may have been all the guys playing with themselves. Kidding! Well, half-kidding.

Joss Whedon, Super Size Me Looking for Comic Con’s Biggest Nerds

Joss Whedon, Super Size Me Looking for Comic Con’s Biggest Nerds

Hey, are you someone who goes to Comic Con with the intention of making sure everyone is really aware of how much you’re really into a comic/anime/scent? Joss Whedon and Morgan Spurlock might want to subtly mock you through filmed documentation! E! Online has a source that claims the two are “developing a documentary feature about Comic-Con that will be centered on a still-to-be-cast group of convention-going superfans.” Like Trekkies but with more geek interest diversity! So rare that a film gets me excited about picking out my favorite sociomutant. Here’s hoping at least one has a large collection of edged weapons.

How They Made That Awesome HBO ’80s Opening Sequence

How They Made That Awesome HBO ’80s Opening Sequence

Remember that ’80s HBO intro where the camera went from a city apartment, through Alec Baldwin’s Beetlejuice model, and into space, where the HBO logo was full of lasers? It was pretty great, even when viewed through my home’s fuzzy, accidental HBO reception with the knowledge that it would just be followed by another showing of Oh God! You Devil . Well, here’s a short documentary on how they made it, containing some of the great music ever committed to non-fiction. It was basically Star Wars :

Nick Nolte Interviews Nick Nolte About Nick Nolte

Nick Nolte Interviews Nick Nolte About Nick Nolte

Nick Nolte: No Exit is a documentary, ostensibly released a few weeks ago, in which Nick Nolte and other interviewees talk about Nick Nolte, dispelling the rumors that he has extra testicles and was once considered sexy. This trailer for the film is basically an MTV Movie Awards sketch made in an alternate universe where Nick Nolte is relevant to people who watch MTV:

Pandora Documentary: It’s Like Watching the Discovery Channel, But Useless

Pandora Documentary: It’s Like Watching the Discovery Channel, But Useless

Explore Avatar ’s rich, Delgo -like world with this pseudo-documentary about the flora and fauna of Pandora. Narrated by Ms. Sigourney Weaver, this documentary is perfect if you’re hoping to put together the necessary information to win a nerd argument about whether Avatar ’s Hammerhead Titanothere could take out a Rancor from Star Wars . Otherwise, it’s completely pointless.

‘Babies’ Poster Doesn’t Even Try

‘Babies’ Poster Doesn’t Even Try

“Everybody loves… babies.” Good work, team. That must have just beat out “Babies… generally considered adorable,” “Babies = Cute,” and “Hey, look! …Babies!”

Anne Geddes: The Movie

Anne Geddes: The Movie

Don’t let your adoration of babies doing baby things be restricted to YouTube clips and monthly calendars: there’s a movie for that now! Specifically, a documentary appropriately named Babies ! It’s like Baby Geniuses , except, instead of being preternaturally smart babies, they’re just babies. Here’s the trailer. It’s basically the film equivalent of screaming ovaries.

Some of These Documentaries Will Be Nominated for an Oscar

Some of These Documentaries Will Be Nominated for an Oscar

Specifically, five of them. The preliminary fifteen documentaries that will be cut down to the five that will be Academy Award nominees have been announced. So, uh, here they are: -”The Beaches of Agnes,” Agnès Varda, director -”Burma VJ,” Anders Østergaard, director -”The Cove,” Louie Psihoyos, director -”Every Little Step,” James D. Stern and Adam Del Deo, directors -”Facing Ali,” Pete McCormack, director -”Food, Inc.,” Robert Kenner, director -”Garbage Dreams,” Mai Iskander, director -”Living in Emergency: Stories of Doctors Without Borders,” Mark N. Hopkins, director -”The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers,” Judith Ehrlich and Rick Goldsmith, directors -”Mugabe and the White African,” Andrew Thompson and Lucy Bailey, directors -”Sergio,” Greg Barker, director -”Soundtrack for a Revolution,” Bill Guttentag and Dan Sturman, directors -”Under Our Skin,” Andy Abrahams Wilson, director -”Valentino: The Last Emperor,” Matt Tyrnauer, director -”Which Way Home,” Rebecca Cammisa, director I, for one, am fairly surprised by the absence of Tyson , Anvil , and Capitalism: A Love Story . As well as the lack of nomination for Man on Wire , Super Size Me , An Inconvenient Truth , The Thin Blue Line , Spellbound , the entire Maysles Brothers catalog, and Nanook of the North . I don’t understand exactly how these things work, but man, those were some good documentaries.

‘Disney’s Oceans’ Trailer: See Our Maritime Freaks on the Big Screen

‘Disney’s Oceans’ Trailer: See Our Maritime Freaks on the Big Screen

Next Earth Day, spend the holiday the way nature intended: see some of the freaks nature has allowed to thrive in our waters with Disney’s Oceans . This trailer is pretty light on the freak fare, but I imagine the actual film must include at least a few examples of deep sea things with jaws so impossibly giant that it’s infuriating/cringe-inducing:
