Subterranean Cinema

Subterranean Cinema is one mess of a website, very 1998 Geocities. Still, lots of good video clips can be found there. The Andy Kaufman compilation is great.

Film Roster

Film Roster’s a new find for me (but maybe old for you). It’s like a better quality Youtube for film-related video. Good stuff.

Angel Oak Tree

Can there really be a 1,500 year old tree in South Carolina? People think the Angel Oak Tree just might be.

Beth Cavener Stichter

Some of the sculptures/art created by Beth Cavener Stichter is interesting and/or cool. Most are safe for work, just mind the one featuring two animals with erect penises making out.
