Friday Night Mashup - Matrix/OfficeSpace + TaxiDriver/Disney

Neo Hides from Lumberg

The Matrix and Office Space were released in 1999 - thus eligible to be nominated to the National Film Registry. Both films have their own particular brand of rabid fans. Deservingly, these movies are mashed-up in to this funny video by Askel at MttM (Movies for the Masses).

Do you think 'The Matrix' or 'Office Space' belong on the National Film Registry? If so, send an email of support for either film (or another one that is meaningful to you) to Donna Ross at the Library of Congress: dross@loc.gov

Walt Disney's Taxi Driver

Everyone loves Emma/She loves the movies.

Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy in 'The Amazing Spider-Man."

Emma Stone (The Amazing Spider-Man, The Help, Easy A) has captured America's heart and become a movie star. So now we must pay attention to what she thinks. And, honestly, I kind of really want to - not just because I am suppose to. Evidently she grew up loving the movies. She describes what movies are important to her in EW.com (Entertainment Weekly). It's a fun and charming article. You can access the article at the following link (caution - the webpage design is kind of clunky.

Here are a couple of highlights:

THE FIRST MOVIE I REMEMBER WATCHING
It's my dad's favorite movie. Laughter is what symbolizes love to me because of watching The Jerk with my dad. I think that's partially why I do comedy.

THE MOVIE I'M ALWAYS TELLING PEOPLE TO SEE
You've got to see City Lights. It's my favorite movie of all time. The last five minutes of that movie will change your life. It changed mine. I realized where every romantic comedy comes from — what everyone is trying to achieve. It's the most romantic, touching... If I think about it too long, I'll cry. It's just so simple.








Of the movies she mentions four are on the National Film Registry:
Network, City Lights, Annie Hall, and The Exorcist.
