Perez Hamilton: GASP! Charter of Connecticut... →
Long live American freedom, bitches.
perezhamilton:
Seriously?! This is HIGHlarious!!
Remember how Connecticut was granted an unusual amount of self-government in its royal charter by King Charles II?? Well the new King of England wants to take it back! Governor of the Dominion of New England, Sir Edmund Andros, went to …
Big Ass Waterfalls in Niagara Discovered
perezhamilton:
Those Indians are always holding out on us!! Why didn’t they tell us about this?!!?
A Catholic Priest, Father Louis Hennepin, travelled with explorer Robert de La Salle to a place we’re calling “Niagara Falls.” They are reporting the waterfalls are over 600 feet in height!!!
Holy cow! We’ve never even seen ANYTHING that big!!!
That sounds like the best bathtub EVER.

kwoo: how does one address a rapper and/or mc in an email? by his stage name? given name? just part of the stage name? (the fact that this isn’t the first time i’ve found myself in this situation does not make this any less funny) nussbaum: hahahaha remember: bobby brown once yelled to get the dalai lama’s attention, “excuse me! mr. lama!” If that helps. kwoo: LOL IS...

Zeitgeist Films: Happy Valentine's Day! →
zeitgeistfilms:
Love is in the air over here at Zeitgeist… and it’s made us uncharacteristically generous. Not only did we make TWO valentines for you to print out for that someone special - we also compiled a list of movies we think you’ll find ultra-romantic (in different ways).
First, the cards. This one’s…
this isn't happiness.: 10 Tips on Writing Well... →
nevver:
Read the Roman-Raphaelson book on writing. Read it three times.
Write the way you talk. Naturally.
Use short words, short sentences and short paragraphs.
Never use jargon words like reconceptualize, demassification, attitudinally, judgmentally. They are hallmarks of a pretentious ass.

guys, this is really important.: TRUTHBAUMS →
guysthisisreallyimportant:
Due to an imbalance in this morning’s coffee to bullshit ratio, I will be dropping some Truthbaums right about now.
“Truthbaums” are just like truthbombs, except they are dropped by a Nussbaum.
Your commentary, though deeply “witty”, IS NOT NEEDED ON EVERY GODDAMN TOPIC OF CONVERSATION YOU…

Man Sentenced to the Stocks for Kissing Wife
perezhamilton:
Oooooh, scandalous!!!!!
A Boston man, Captain Kemble, returned home after three years at sea and kissed his wife in public on the Sabbath. This is a BIG no-no, so he was sentenced to sit in the stocks for two hours for his “lewd and unseemly behavior”.
God is ALWAYS watching… and so are your narc neighbors.
LOL.

Zeitgeist Films: Definitely Not a New Mom →
zeitgeistfilms:
Things in the Zeitgeist office are off to a weird start this year, mail-wise. We’ve received a magazine to which no member of this office subscribes, which in itself wouldn’t be so strange of an occurrence - subscription slip-ups happen all the time (thank you thank you thank you to whoever it…

Zeitgeist Films: Growing Up Yeezy →
zeitgeistfilms:
The internet is still blowing up about the Kanye West tweet-athon from the other night (most succinctly contained here), and for good reason. As someone who was awake to witness as it unfolded live… I mean… it was mesmerizing. I didn’t know if it would ever end, and more importantly,…
Portrait Hall of Fame
perezhamilton:
Um, wut. ????
This is a self-portrait of the Dutch artist David Bailly. Supposedly this is classic example of “vinitas” art, which uses weird objects likes skulls to represent the meaninglessness of life and vanity.
Wow Dave, this was a REALLY uplifting picture of you.
Excuse us while we go cut ourselves and contemplate our mortality.

Zeitgeist Films: Two days, so many choices. →
Particularly proud of this one. Also buy yourself some DVDs!
zeitgeistfilms:
If you are anything like me (Rachel), you woke up today and spent the entirety of your 50 minute D train ride being really disappointed in yourself for STILL not being over that stupid Adele song while mulling over the fact that you haven’t purchased a single Christmas present, and then you felt…
My friends are all like, talented and stuff.

A Stella Artois commercial that Andy and I shot and edited. Shot completely on the Phantom at 500 (and sometimes 1000) frames per second, it shows the beautiful movement of liquid is super slow-motion. Even if you hate beer, take a look. Music: “Nightcall” by Kavinsky
And The Anne Hutchinson Trial Verdict is...
perezhamilton:
Guilty!! Shocker.
After realizing what a crazy nutbag Anne Hutchinson is, the Bay Colony of Massachusetts threw her out on the streets. She’s officially banished and is now heading to Providence, Rhode Island to join the other crazy nutbag, R-Wills, who believes in “freedom of religion”.
Now they can be crazy together!
Perfect!

Zeitgeist Films: Halloween Advice →
Rachel’s direction helped, as did my previous role as “tree” in a 7th grade production of Once on This Island.
zeitgeistfilms:
With Halloween less than a week away, you’re probably reading this from the line at one of Manhattan’s 22 Ricky’s locations. I was there last year. It took 35 minutes to purchase a feather boa… which I never ended up using.
Finding the right costume...

Zeitgeist Films: Meet the Bloggers! →
zeitgeistfilms:
We here at zeitgeistfilms.tumblr.com feel that we abuse the “we” that so often adorns this blog. Who are “we”?
Are we the physical manifestation of Zeitgeist Films, the Spirit of the times itself, invisible on the wind but ever-present in your mind?
Yeah, no.
Are we Nancy Gerstman and…
