WatchA Whole Lotta Nothing: Khan Academy - Inspirational example of the impact one motivated, passionate person can have on the lives of others. Awesome. I’ve also got to give him props for the presentation. Instead of “let me show you what I’ve done” it was “what do you think?”.

They have great prices on everything. I have a blog wherein I often write about and link to movies and games (and many other things). Amazon has an affiliate program wherein if I refer a buyer to their site, I get a small...

It’s got Aguirre, Woyzeck, Cobra Verde, Nosferatu, Fitzcarraldo, and My Best Fiend. It’s a great set.}
The Invasion (★★): Sorely lacking anything to distinguish...
