Watch Two Adorable Kids & A Beagle Reenact The Inception Trailer For You

There are things that I can be counted on to ALWAYS blog about: Christina Hendricks, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marvel superheroes, and, of course, adorable children re-enacting movie trailers. The funsters at Makerbakers have re-made the Inception trailer with the aid of their kids along with some legos, a Jenga set, some bound G.I. Joes, and most crucially, Marion Cotillard recast as a beagle.

Michael Drummond was Project Runway ‘s reliable quipper this season, popping out Crucible jokes and cat-skinning metaphors with major aplomb.

I’m Still Here: A Work of Accidental Genius?

“In many ways you could say that [Joaquin] Phoenix and [Casey] Affleck are some of the most important artists of their age because they have shown us just how difficult it is to pull something off, especially if you have no talent for the type of creation you are attempting in the first place. They deserve to be recognized as such.” Oh, Jesus. The implications of this logic for Uwe Boll are going to be huge . [ The Awl ]

On DVD: The Best High School Movie You Haven’t Seen

A big festival hit but otherwise a brash indie too grim and severe to really break out in theaters, Antonio Campos’s Afterschool is one of the best movies ever made about high school — that is, it nails the experience to the wall with a gutter spike. I’m not talking about the fun but fantastical high school movies you’re thinking of, like Fast Times at Ridgemont High , but the movies that capture the lostness, the social combat, and the pubertal angst, movies like Gus Van Sant’s Elephant , Lindsay Anderson’s If… , Shunji Iwai’s All about Lily Chou-Chou , and Tim Hunter’s River’s Edge . (I’d throw in Park Ki-hyeong’s moody K-horror epic Ghost School Trilogy and Frederick Wiseman’s High School , but maybe that’s enough adolescent hallway dread already.)
