Cinematical Seven: Movies That Pull an All-Nighter (Cinematical)

Jul 10th 2009 9:20AM My favorite has to be Before Sunrise. Interesting that you mentioned Linklater's Dazed and Confused, but didn't make note of Before Sunrise. Maybe it's not as "wild and crazy" as the other picks, but I'd argue that Jesse and Celine's night is every bit as unforgettable.

Monday Morning Poll: Your Favorite Film(s) of 2007 (Cinematical)

Dec 10th 2007 11:57AM May favorite so far this year was actually ‘Stardust’. I was blown away by how fun the movie was, and I really felt some genuine emotion for the characters. Other top films include ‘The Darjeeling Limited’ and ‘Zodiac’.

Of course, there's still so much that I haven't seen this year that I'm not ready to make a “Best of 2007” list yet. I'm waiting till I see ‘Lust, Caution’, ‘Atonement’, ‘My Blueberry Nights’, and ‘No Country for Old Men’ before I make such a list.

Jan 21st 2007 8:43PM Nice, truly a killer combination.

The Procrastinator's Clock (Download Squad)

Jan 21st 2007 8:40PM This is actually extremely clever. I'd love to see a feature like this implemented into an actual tabletop clock. My laptop just isn't up often enough to be reliable for this. Good work, Dave :)

The Best And Worst Movie Lines Of All Time (Cinematical)

Oct 24th 2006 1:14PM Well, I have to first repeat a few from the article in my list of all-time best quotes:

"As far back as I can remember, I've always wanted to be a gangster" -Goodfellas
"I'll make him an offer he can't refuse" -The Godfather
"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here, this is the War Room!" -Dr. Strangelove
"It wasn't the airplanes. It was beauty killed the beast." -King Kong

Then I have to add a few of my own:

"Baby, you are gonna miss your plane"; "I know" -Before Sunset
"English, mother f----er, do you speak it?" -Pulp Fiction
"As you wish." -The Princess Bride
"I had to kill a lot of people!" -American Psycho
"Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer" -The Godfather, Part II
"I am serious, and don't call me Shirley." -Airplane
"On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero" -Fight Club

Apple iTV set top box announced: 2007 (Engadget HD)

Sep 13th 2006 2:06PM #15 - iTV is not the name of this product. iTV is simply the internal codename for the device and will be changed when the product is formally announced in Q1 2007. Jobs noted this yesterday during the keynote. You can watch the video here:

Banner for September 12th event? (TUAW.com)

Sep 10th 2006 11:42PM I _wish_ it was real. Not buying it, though. And, Yuri Walkiw (#2), it's certainly a video iPod being shown, notice the scrollwheel on the right.

Apple to introduce iTunes Movie Store, new iMac, iPod nano, and video streaming device? (TUAW.com)

Sep 5th 2006 12:25AM After streaming music and photos from my PowerBook to my Xbox 360 -- my first streaming experience -- I've absolutely fallen in love. It makes so much sense to organize my media on my computer and watch it through a dedicated piece of equipment (in this case, the Airport Express Video).

My dream? Airport Express form factor, HDMI, up to 1080p, up to 7.1. Clearly these specs won't be coming from this 9/12 event, but it's an exciting start towards a dream product of mine :)

Ask TUAW: What's your favorite Smart Playlist? (TUAW.com)

Aug 17th 2006 10:06PM I have a lot of standup acts, videos, PDFs, podcasts, and audiobooks in my library so a smart list that filters out everything that ISN'T a genre of music is great. Especially to use as an alarm for Awakening (waking up to standup doesn't quite work)
