7 Movies That Put Insane Detail into Stuff You Never Noticed

7 Movies That Put Insane Detail into Stuff You Never Noticed
We've mentioned before how film directors occasionally go a little bit crazy when it comes to certain minor details, including ones that 99 percent of the audience are never even going to see. A horrifying amount of time and work go into things that will be forever unnoticed by everyone except a few members of the crew. So let's again take a moment to appreciate the awesomely obsessive ... #7. For any sci-fi or fantasy film, it's one thing to make the clothing and equipment look authentic onscreen, and another to add layers of detail that are physically impossible to notice, even if each frame of the movie is examined with a magnifying glass. If Michael Bay had directed this film, all those Uruk-hai would be explosions, and Helm's Deep would be a pair of tits. What's that? KropserkelEven that codpiece is Orc-accurate. Well, that chain mail that you didn't notice, that you couldn't have noticed, was created by the costume department by hand, link by link ... CollectTolkien #6. #5. Also?

SAF to retire!! “My greatest challenge is not what’s happening at the moment, my greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool right off their perch.” Ferguson on his biggest achievement “At the end of this game, the European Cup will be only six feet away from you and you’ll not even able to touch it if we lose. And for many of you that will be the closest you will ever get. Don’t you dare come back in here without giving your all.” “I can’t believe it. “It would have been Sir Matt Busby's 90th birthday today, but I think he was up there doing a lot of kicking.” “The most important piece of advice he gave me was not to read the press, it was great advice and I have not read it since.” “It can be difficult to pinpoint who would make it as a manager. “They say he’s an intelligent man, right? “He was certainly full of it, calling me Boss and Big Man when we had our post-match drink after the first leg. “That lad must have been born offside.” “It was a freakish incident. "It's City isn't it?

The 6 Creepiest Places on Earth It doesn't matter whether or not you believe in ghosts, there are some places in which none of us would want to spend a night. These places have well earned their reputations as being so creepy, tragic or mysterious (or all three) that they definitely qualify as "haunted." Places like... Aokigahara is a woodland at the base of Mount Fuji in Japan that makes The Blair Witch Project forest look like Winnie the Pooh's Hundred Acre Wood. It probably has something to do with all the dead bodies scattered around. What Niagara Falls is to weddings, Aokigahara is to suicide. More than 500 fucking people have taken their own lives in Aokigahara since the 1950s. The trend has supposedly started after Seicho Matsumoto published his novel Kuroi Kaiju (Black Sea of Trees) where two of his characters commit suicide there. Also skulls. Besides bodies and homemade nooses, the area is littered with signs displaying such uplifting messages like "Life is a precious thing! Winchester Mystery House Oh, bitch...!

5 Works of Art So Good They Ruined Their Whole Genre History is filled with influential artists -- people who were so talented, they inspired hordes of others to create. But sometimes an artist creates a work of art so masterful, it simultaneously defines a style while shutting the door on others who would follow. Sure, people still try, but rarely can they succeed without their attempts being compared, unfavorably, to the masterpieces. GettyThis week, I kept the intro short instead of bitching about people not reading it. Here's a picture of my psychiatrist, who helped me accept things beyond my control, and prescribed me illegal quantities of E. Thanks, Dr. #5. 2001: A Space Odyssey Creates Profound Cinematic Science Fiction Like No Other In 1968, a year before man even went to the moon (or didn't go to the moon, if you're wearing a tin foil hat right now), Stanley Kubrick delivered 2001. 2001 starts at the dawn of man and jumps to 2001, when man as a species is ready to evolve into Homo superior.

15 Unintentionally Perverted Toys for Children Wolverine Squeaky Hammer Yep, that's Wolverine menacingly glaring at your kid with his cock out. Let's just put that on the table right away. We realize a whole bunch of you have already seen the above image, stripped of all context (we bet at least one of you has it as your avatar on a message board somewhere). But where did it come from? Nope, it's an officially licensed Marvel toy (an inflatable hammer, you're looking at one end of it) and they all looked like that. Honestly, what happens when your kid comes home and finds that his Wolverine Squeaky Hammer is deflated and, in his mind, he thinks "Wolverine died!" Congrats, your kid now has a grossly inaccurate idea of how CPR works. There's absolutely nothing wrong with this doll, as long as it's not in motion. If you can't watch video on your computer, let's just say that he starts vigorously jerking off while wailing loudly. Why, what noise do you make when you masturbate? We're guessing it took only slightly longer for owners of...

4 Legendary Pranks by Famous Comedians Office pranks have grown more popular and elaborate since Jim put Dwight's stapler in a Jell-O mold on The Office. Unfortunately, those perpetrated by people who aren't written by Mindy Kaling and Greg Daniels tend to have a hit-to-miss ratio on par with most "humorous" coffee mugs. But there are those rare occasions when people who are funny for a living unleash their comedic sensibilities on the unsuspecting outside world, and the rest of us can only look on in admiration, and think about trying to start a slow clap ... #4. During the first season of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone quickly became two of the most talked about names in Hollywood despite the fact that nobody knew what they looked like. While researching Orgazmo, Parker became friendly with porn star Tim Lake, who invited him to one of the strangest parties in Hollywood history. The point is, most people would have just been grateful for the invite. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you make an entrance. #3.

The 30 Best Films of the Decade - Page 3 of 3 10. Big Fish Painting the 1980s in black and white, Tim Burton made his mark on this decade by discovering primary colors. Every corner of imagination is explored here in a film that has made me cry every single time even after 15 viewings. 9. Most quotable movie of the decade number two, and the movie that was the precursor to the Judd Apatow/Adam McKay takeover of great comedy that followed. 8. It’s a fortunate thing in this art form that audiences often get to see a genius at his best. 7. Despite art being completely subjective, you are wrong if you don’t like this film. 6. Back in 2000, back in the 1970s, Cameron Crowe took us all on a journey across the country in a bus. 5. He was a simple oil man. 4. You can’t argue with the facts. 3. There are two types of people in this world – and I don’t use that cliche lightly: those who have never curled up in a weeping, inconsolable ball on the floor and those who have seen Dear Zachary. 2. 1. Admit it.

5 Myths That People Don't Realize Are Admitted Hoaxes It's no surprise that the world gets taken in by hoaxers and con men. They're really good at what they do and most of us are bored enough to believe anything as long as it takes our mind off the cubicle for a while. And even when the hoaxers get accused of fakery, we may still take their side. After all, those negative doubting types try to shoot down everything! Who cares what they say! The Surgeon's Photograph of the Loch Ness Monster This famous picture, which shows what looks like the head of a prehistoric creature emerging from the waves of Scotland's Loch Ness, was allegedly snapped by gynecologist Robert Wilson in 1934. Before Dr. "Ooh, an animal I don't recognize! Monster sightings and photographs continued unabated in the area for the next 60 years until 1994, when a man named Christian Spurling finally confessed to the hoax.

4 Fictional Works People Insist Are Real People love stories. Movies and books let us escape our own horrible lives for a few hours. Some people love stories a little too much, however, and eventually begin to forget (or even deny) that they are fictional. For example ... #4. 221B Baker Street When Sherlock Holmes isn't faking a British accent with Jude Law in between Iron Man sequels, he hangs out at 221B Baker Street. When the Abbey National Building Society bought the flats at Baker Street, they got so much of Sherlock's mail that they hired a full-time secretary to answer it (presumably Greg Kinnear from Dear God). #3. In 1974, director Tobe Hooper created a happy-go-lucky clan of cannibal murderers based on real-life maniac Ed Gein for his film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The Texas Prison Museum, not wanting to be left out of the "bizarre things that have a website" club, also has an article on its homepage debunking the myth that Leatherface was ever a prisoner there, or indeed was ever a person who existed. #2. #1.
