The Pilgrim Bride

"A newlywed bride waits for her husband before boarding the special train in Kamlapur Railway Station in Dhaka, Bangladesh," writes Your Shot contributor Shahnewaz Karim of this picture chosen for publication in the Spontaneous Adventure assignment. "The mehendi in her hand is still showing as the light seeps through the roof and the people 'seated' there for the journey. This pilgrimage home is to enjoy the Eid festival with family."

During rehearsals, Brad Pitt and Edward Norton found out that...

by bestrooftalkever-george
None!

i thought that they were going to say that one is a lefty and the other a righty?





During rehearsals, Brad Pitt and Edward Norton found out that they both hated the new Volkswagen Beetle with a passion, and for the scene where Tyler and The Narrator are hitting cars with baseball bats, Pitt and Norton insisted that one of the cars be a Beetle. As Norton explains on the DVD commentary, he hates the car because the Beetle was one of the primary symbols of 60s youth culture and freedom. However, the youth of the 60s had become the corporate bosses of the 90s, and had repackaged the symbol of their own youth, selling it to the youth of another generation as if it didn’t mean anything. Both Norton and Pitt felt that this kind of corporate selling out was exactly what the film was railing against.

Nothing says “taking it to the man” like smashing a car that was a symbol of a generation when you were infant while cashing those big Hollywood $$$ checks. 

Also, they have seen this right? One of the prime examples of the man/ad agencies selling the car to the parents of that flower culture.

Maddux, Glavine, Thomas

by attackgerbil

Who the F voted for Eric Gagne???

There’s all of your 2014 class, coming off of last year’s shut-out. There is no possible argument why these three shouldn’t get in immediately. The fun comes when 18 people (hopefully) explain why they didn’t vote for Maddux, and worse yet, explain why they didn’t vote for any of the other players with epic careers that are now locked out by prejudice. Poor Craig Biggio, he missed his ticket by two measly votes. Why do more than half of the voters not like Tim Raines? Moose had no traction at all, and it boggles my mind that he only got a 20% vote when Glavine goes in on the first ballot. We don’t have to pull the entire mess apart, because Jay Jaffe already did last week (missed this article.. great read). The voting results are past the fold.

Name Votes (Pct.) Yrs on ballot
Greg Maddux 555 (97.2%) 1
