This is pretty cool...IMDb publishes a list of the top 250 movies as voted on by its users, and someone took it and turned it into a transit system-style map, using each train/subway line to cover a movie genre. The result is pretty interesting, particularly the movies that sit on junctions between...

The movie Watchmen comes out Friday, and I highly recommend seeing it because it looks like it'll be really good. Really, though, I'd suggest reading the graphic novel which is truly awesome.

If there's any Rocky fans out there, you ought to jump on Amazon's Deal of the Day if you don't already own the DVDs. The first 5 for 20 bucks is a pretty good deal considering the cost of movies - even mediocre/bad movies are usually $5 on DVD.
