soupsoup: whatcriscilikes:suicideblonde: Tina Fey on The Howard Stern Show. She is so in her element here, she is revealing in the vulgarity. Sometimes I feel bad for her, writing for network shows, because she has the dirtiest mouth.

The Virgin Suicides, Lost in Translation & Marie Antoinette reduced to their respective color schemes: A description of the project: Curious to see if there were any stark similarities or contrasts within particular films, Pie aims to create an incredibly simple and concise baseline of comparison of films trough one particular trait: colour.
