I found this site called Art of the Title while reading my daily feeds. It is a blog that posts interesting and/or awesome title sequences from movies. You can view them in 480p or 720p, which I feel is pretty awesome.

I've heard about quite a few cases where you can sync up otherwise unrelated songs and movies resulting in a piece of film that seems completely and eerily intentional. The most famous of these sync-ups is called Dark Side of the Rainbow, which syncs up Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon with The Wizard of Oz. I've always dismissed these kind of things as people just looking too deeply into it, like this one interpretation of Fight Club and Radiohead's The Bends:

Anyway, I ran into this sync-up of a scene from Fantasia 2000 and Tool's 10,000 Days which I feel is pretty neat. I've never seen the original Fantasia nor this remake in 1999, but I basically have to now because it looks really cool. The song isn't bad, either.

I may be more interested in these kinds of things now, but I'm sure it helps if you are familiar with at least the song or the movie. That is probably one reason why I've never been too curious about Dark Side of the Rainbow.

So I guess that means tell me some that you might know about, and I will watch them. Or I won't.

Ever since 1995 when Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls was released, I went around saying "bumblebee tuna" under the impression it was an original part of the script. I couldn't have been more wrong.

This startling fact was brought to my attention by Taylor at work, after his mom gave him a can of Bumble Bee brand tuna (as seen to the right). Further investigation showed that the brand has been in existence since 1899. They also sell Bumble Bee chicken, salmon, crab, oysters, clams, and sardines.

Youtube is full of Bumble Bee tuna related advertisements, including this vintage one, and all sorts of other theme songs. My girlfriend and I use "Bumblebee Tuna" as our guild name in WoW, but I had no idea it was such a huge phenomenon.

My life will never be the same.
