Also, I love the DVD menu music for Reservoir Dogs.

I think I'm sad now. I hate it when things don't turn out well.

I really liked that... very tantalizing. The concept reminds me a bit of Postsecret - just enough of a glimpse into their life to get you interested, but not enough to make you bored.

Soon to be a slasher film!

These remind me of the Bitter Sweet-Hearts sketch from MST3K.

This is too well done.
Text messages are the most depressing things on earth.
Argh.

Instead of this quaint needlework idea, the type looks like CAD drawing to me. So reading this, the voice in my head sounds like Stephen Hawking's voice synthesizer.
