If you watch Spider-Man backwards, a stereotypical comic book superhero slowly becomes a stereotypical comic book reader.
If you watch The Italian Job backwards, a group of rediculously attractive Americans use Mini Coopers to make the most elaborate account deposit in history.
If you watch Titanic backwards, a cast of thousands pulls a massive ship from the ocean, high-fives an iceberg, and then immediately develops a class system.
Recommendations are being overhauled

bliptv:
We released a new recommendations feature on Tuesday afternoon. The reason for the feature is simple: we want to get more shows more viewers.
After having the feature out in the wild for a day, though, we’ve decided that we can do a better job with it. We need to make it clearer how you can find more episodes of the same show you’re watching. We need to make sharing in...
If you watch The Sixth Sense backwards, it’s pretty much the same movie: a confused and isolated man has a deep and meaningful, if somewhat quizzical relationship with a very smart child, and then the man dies.

Being me means...
Being me means that in a moment of creativity you can sit down to write, pause for just a second to look something up on wikipedia to make sure you have the proper descriptor, and then realize you’ve just spent the last 35 minutes reading about the lifecycles and elemental creation resulting from stellar thermonuclear fusion.
Then you realize that whatever muse which had moved your hand in...

So nothing just happened
Every. Time.
This is the last word on blogging. Nothing will ever top this for self-referential metahumor.
No updates for a bit. Caught up doing the “real life” thing.
If you watch Fight Club backwards, it’s a movie about a guy who progressively drifts further and further apart from his troublemaker best friend, thus rendering his life meaningless.

Not just once, but several times:
In a meeting that included Vice President Dick Cheney, CIA Director George Tenet, Ashcroft, Rice and their legal counsels, “the principals reaffirmed that the CIA program was lawful and reflected administration policy,” the report said.
But yeah, it was just “a few rogue contractors.”

SNPD - "2 months of work on myself" edition
This is probably one of the more intimidating things I’ve ever done, so if it comes off as vain, I apologize. I don’t really post photos of myself for a variety of reasons, but as I’m using this as positive reinforcement, I’m making an exception today.
Two months ago I started an experiment aimed at getting myself healthy again. My job is fairly sedentary, and the effects were showing. I...

richard dawkins gets me excited. i need to re-read the blind watchmaker. incidentally, he coined the term meme, which y’all should know, since you abuse ‘em so much.
loooooove you.
Dawkins would be a lot cooler if he, like all Atheists, wasn’t such a smug condescending little smarmy pants all the time. It hurts the argument for science. Remember kiddies, smile...
I don't care what side you're on
justin:
Making fun of people protesting is about as un-American as you can be.
I don’t agree, I think it’s just the sort of free speech that makes America what it is. When the God Hates Fags people protest, I should absolutely be allowed to make fun, mock, and otherwise make my derision for their cause known. The ability to protest isn’t the protection of the idea any more...
Tea Parties
Tea parties: where hundreds of people in lower tax brackets come together to protest excessive taxation of the people in the highest tax bracket at events sponsored by the people in the highest tax bracket.
Well done.

Looking to upgrade your collection of Criterion DVDs to Blu-Ray but afraid to shell out $40 plus for brand-new copies? Fear not! If you mail $20 and your old DVD back to Criterion, they’ll send you a Blu-Ray copy, just like that! [Criterion via /Film]
Wow, this is really awesome
Ahhh Barney, you are truly awesome.
Barney: There’s no way she’s above the line on the ‘hot/crazy’ scale.
Ted: She’s not even on the ‘hot/crazy’ scale; she’s just hot.
Robin Scherbatsky: Wait, ‘hot/crazy’ scale?
Barney: Let me illustrate!
[draws diagram]
Barney: A girl is allowed to be crazy as long as she is equally hot. Thus, if she’s “this” crazy, she has to be “this” hot. You want the girl to be above this line. Also known as the ‘Vickie Mendoza Diagonal’. This girl I dated. She played jump rope with that line. She’d shave her head, then lose 10 pounds. She’d stab me with a fork, then get a boob job.
[pauses]
Barney: I should give her a call.
