Seriously, listen to this. Right now.

The back story on this is that a girl named Olga was out with her friends and she talked to this guy named Dmitri for all of two minutes. Then she gave him her card and said “give me a call.” The above are the messages he left.

Seriously, listen to the whole thing. It really does get better and better.

If you were ever wondering, you are not a douche.

Shake Shakehas semi-officially become the Rocketboom lunching headquarters, with many hours spent savoring their delicious flavor. Serious Eats breaks down why these burgers are just so good.
“the Shack uses potato rolls that are part of the Dutch/German/Pennsylvania baking tradition. Even the special sauce, which in California is invariably a Thousand Island variant, is at the Shack much closer to a garlic mayo. It is fair to say that Shake Shack took the West Coast model as inspiration but has put a unique New York spin on it.”
they’re good, but its sort of the same deal with magnolia where people equate the line to meaning you’re getting something amazing. don’t get me wrong they’re good, but maybe a little overrated.
Yeah, I have to agree. While SS may be my favorite burger in the city, it’s not THAT much better than say, Good Burger 6 blocks south, which you can eat without any line. The ratio of tastyness to time spent doesn’t equate. if SS is a 10, and Good Burger is an 8, those two extra taste points aren’t worth the 2 hours of my time.
I have to reblog this to stand up for the Shack. To compare Shake Shack to the cupcakes at Magnolia is heresy. Magnolia cupcakes are not good. The Shack has the best burger in the city. The line may be bad at times, but to insult the value and taste of this delicious burger on that basis is unjustified and outrageous!
I’ll put it this way, whenever I come back to NY, I look forward to seeing the Shackburger more than most of my friends.

Yeah guys, Aziz is right. Don’t try to get all “hidden NYC.” Shake Shack is the best. But I’d hesitate to say it “took the West Coast model.” That a little blasphemy.

Dark Knight Director Shuns Digital Effects for the Real Thing

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 08:06:00 -0400

Dark Knight Director Shuns Digital Effects for the Real Thing:

Nolan has a cogent Theory of Applied Batmatics: Insist on reality — no effects, no tricks — up to the point where insisting on reality becomes unrealistic. Then, in postproduction, make what is necessarily unreal as real as possible. “Anything you notice as technology reminds you that you’re in a movie theater.”

I can’t fucking WAIT for this movie.

edit: oh, shit, this was Scott! Nice one, man!
