Chicago-based filmmaker and writer Nelson Carvajal created this supercut video of actor Al Pacino yelling and roaring in movies. The supercut was created as part of an article for PressPlay at Indiewire.

There’s an overabundance of every emotion in every moment Pacino inhabits and in every move he makes. He sings the body electric; sometimes he screams it. He’s a stripped electrical wire zapping lightning bolts into the air like those transformers in the old Universal horror films. Even when his characters are hiding or repressing things, they seem on the verge of imploding or exploding, transforming or mutating.

Bronies: The Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans of My Little Pony is a feature-length documentary about the adult fans of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Though the term “brony” is a combination of the terms “bro” and “pony” and was originally coined to refer to male fans of the series, it’s since been expanded to refer to both male and female adult fans. The documentary tells the stories of bronies around the world, and also chronicles several My Little Pony conventions including BronyCon. The film is available now on DVD, Blu-ray, and as a digital download.

“It’s dark because you are trying too hard. 

Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. 

Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply. 

Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. 

I was so preposterously serious in those days, such a humorless little prig. 

Lightly, lightly – it’s the best advice ever given me. 

When it comes to dying even. Nothing ponderous, or portentous, or emphatic. 

No rhetoric, no tremolos, 

no self conscious persona putting on its celebrated imitation of Christ or Little Nell. 

And of course, no theology, no metaphysics. 

Just the fact of dying and the fact of the clear light. 

So throw away your baggage and go forward. 

There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, 

trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. 

That’s why you must walk so lightly. 

Lightly my darling, 

on tiptoes and no luggage, 

not even a sponge bag, 

completely unencumbered.” 

― Aldous Huxley, Island

THE GREATEST COSPLAYERS AT ECCC

Thank you! Dr. Krieger and I had a lot of fun.

“This Is My Horse (show me yours)” is a new single from Chap Hop artist Professor Elemental featuring a bizarre dance party with a gorilla wearing a horse mask. Like previous music videos “I’m British” and “Fighting Trousers,” the horse-centric video was directed by Moog with music by Tom Caruana.

The oddly hilarious blog Thumbs and Ammo is based on the simple premise that a movie character brandishing a gun looks an awful lot like someone giving the thumbs-up sign. All it takes is a positive attitude and a little digital manipulation.

Real tough guys don’t need guns, they just need a positive, can-do attitude

“There is a beast in every man and it stirs when you put a sword in his hand.”

Season 3 of HBO’s original series Game of Thrones is set to premiere on March 31, 2013. They recently released two new sneak peek trailers that are titled “War Preview” and “The Beast.” Winter is coming very soon.

Summers span decades. Winters can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun.

It will stretch from the south, where heat breeds plots, lusts and intrigues; to the vast and savage eastern lands; all the way to the frozen north, where an 800-foot wall of ice protects the kingdom from the dark forces that lie beyond. Kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars, lords and honest men…all will play the ‘Game of Thrones.’

Experimental video musical group cdza explores Epic Key Changes in a video featuring a rapid-fire compilation of songs from the Backstreet Boys, Disney’s Aladdin, The Beatles, The Lonely Island, Beyoncé, Michael Jackson, and many more.

Matthew Weiner‘s intense secrecy can get a bit frustrating for fans eager to know more, but it has its upsides as well. One is the fact that even the barest hints about Mad Men turn into an exciting guessing game.

After a batch of totally unrevealing promo stills and an even more opaque teaser trailer, we now have our first look at the official Season 6 poster. There’s still no direct indication of where the new episodes are headed, but there are plenty of clues about key themes coming up. Even better, said clues are depicted by Brian Sanders, a veteran illustrator once employed by Stanley Kubrick to paint and draw scenes from the set of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Hit the jump to check it out.

As with posters from previous seasons, the scene depicted is more symbolic than literal. The off-kilter angle suggests that Don’s world will be thrown off balance next season, while the “Stop,” “One Way,” and “Madison Avenue” signs indicate he’ll find himself at a crossroads. Or something. And then there are so many other hints that seem even tougher to crack:

• Why are there two Don Drapers? Does one represent Dick Whitman? Or is Don looking back with regret at his life decisions?
• Whose hand is that he’s holding? Is that Megan’s, or has he started cheating on her?
• What are the cops doing in the background? Does morality play a big role this season, or is someone literally going to get into legal trouble?
• Where’s the plane in the background headed? We already know from set photos that characters are headed to LA and Hawaii this season, but this particular craft’s destination may be more figurative.

And so on, and so forth. Feel free to discuss your guesses in the comments, or just sit back and enjoy the art for the beautiful, interesting work that it is. For fun, we’ve also included the main promo posters from all past Mad Men seasons in the gallery below.

Mad Men returns April 7, as indicated by the ad. Here’s a featurette in which creator/showrunner Matthew Weiner and Jon Hamm, Jessica Pare, and Rich Sommer hint about what we can expect from the new season.
