Famous Objects from Classic Movies is a game where they show you…wait for it…famous objects from classic movies. The objects are in silhouette, and get harder as you progress through the levels. The guessing is done hangman-style, so you can get some right if you guess letters well. If you see the Empire State Building and think “Sleepless in Seattle”, you might not do so well.

I finished it with a 74 and 48 record — not bad considering I’d never heard of some of them. I’m completely pissed that I missed “The Shinning”!

WARNING: Don’t start this game if you have work to do!

In a world full of novelty Twitter accounts, the T-800 pretty much wins.

Want to own The Dude’s sweater from “The Big Lebowski”? Well, it’s up for auction and only $11,000 right now.

If you want a similar version from the company that made the original, they’re a little cheaper.

UPDATE: The auction has disappeared.

If you have discomfort watching 3D movies, someone created 2D glasses for you.

About 10% of Americans experience some form of discomfort while watching 3D movies and television. Symptoms range from a mild headache to severe nausea.

Tens of millions of people are faced with the following options when they want to see a 3D movie:

1. Cover one of your eyes through the entire movie
2. Sit at home while your friends or family go to watch movies without you
3. Just deal with it

We thought that sucked, so we created 2D glasses. How they work is a bit complicated, but the end effect is that you get to watch a 3D movie as if it’s a normal 2D movie, eliminating eyeball strain. The glasses look just like 3D glasses, no one even has to know you’re not seeing the movie in 3D. Just make sure you don’t recycle them at the end of the movie!

I think wearing a pirate patch to the movie would be much more fun. Arr!

moviebarcode is a tumblr that takes every frame of a movie and stacks them side-by-side so you get a unique bar code.

Of course, The Matrix has large swaths of green, and Pulp Fiction almost looks like wood paneling.

The house that was used as the exterior of the Corleone’s compound in The Godfather is for sale.  Not bad for $2.9 million.

An original Darth Vader costume, most likely made for “The Empire Strikes Back”, is up for auction in London next month.

The jet-black helmet, mask and armor worn by the intergalactic villain are expected to sell for between 160,000 pounds and 230,000 pounds ($250,000 and $365,000) at a sale of pop culture memorabilia next month.

This would make a great Xmas gift for me.  Just saying.

The house that inspired ‘The Amityville Horror’ is up for sale. 5 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, finished basement, and “interesting history”. $1.15 million.

Speaking of awesome baseball movies, the farmhouse where ‘Field of Dreams’ was filmed is for sale. It has 193 acres, 7 buildings, and the home is 2 bedroom/1.5 bath/2400 sq. ft. It comes complete with the baseball field, corn field, and approximately 65,000 visitors per year. It’s a steal at only $5.4 million.

The intangible assets of the property are simply not measurable. The Field of Dreams owners have been honored to be a part of sports history these past 20 years and have played host to a variety of sports celebrities along the way.  Moments of peace and quiet, family togetherness and most of all, magic and wonder have been among their greatest and most cherished memories. It has been a destination for millions of visitors and may continue to be the place many find peace and quiet in our modern day existence.

Juan Pablo Bravo brings us a comparison of Pixar character sizes.

Since I finally got around to seeing Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, I’ve been able to scour the web for reviews, critiques, etc.  Topless Robot’s FAQ sums up the movie better than most, and if you haven’t seen the movie and plan on it, be careful following the link (there be spoilers).

Some gems included are:

And why couldn’t an Autobot translate these symbols?
Because Bumblebee is mute and the Racist Twins are poor black robots from the slums of Cybertron who never learned how to read. It’s a sad commentary on Cybertronian society. Like The Wire, actually.

and

Can you explain Megan Fox’s appeal?
Yes. She looks like a porn star and has the same acting talent as one, yet for some reason she makes mainstream movies. This tonal disconnect is what’s so appealing about her.

What do you do if you loved the movie “A Christmas Story” and have a spare $500,000?  Well, if you’re Brian Jones, you buy the house used in the movie and restore it, complete with leg lamp.  On the fact that “A Christmas Story” is shown 24 hours straight every Christmas, Jones, who’s married with an 8-month-old daughter, said:

It just kind of sets the mood. In the Jones household, it’s on all day once the marathon comes on.

I don’t know who I feel sorry for most, his wife or the daughter.  I’m going with the daughter…she didn’t have a choice.
