'Rushmore' with a 90s Rock Soundtrack Is the Worst/Greatest Thing in the World | No Film School

As I write this, it's a windless 93-degrees out, smoke from the nearby forest fires is blocking out the sun, and Eve 6 is blasting out of the speakers at this sports bar—so yeah, I'm in a worse mood than usual. But when I stumbled upon this damn ass video by the always lovely Kentucker Audley, I wasn't sure whether I loved or hated every fucking minute of it.

Maybe it's just one of those days—or maybe it's just one of those videos, but watching Wes Anderson's brilliant melancomedy Rushmore set to the musical stylings of Blink-182, Smash Mouth, and all of those pop rock bands of the late 90s—Third Eye Blind—is just sacrilege, or annoying, or just not something I can handle in this heat. Either way, you need to watch it.

In an instant, Kentucker turns Anderson's uniquely quirky vision into a 10 Things I Hate About You teen movie and it's hilarious. I really love it. Also, I hate it a lot. It made me laugh out loud. It made me hate myself for loving those bands when I was in middle school. (Like, I had a deeply emotional one-sided connection to Stephan Jenkins when I was 12.)

I think I speak for all 90s kids when I say to this video, "Go home, Roger. You da bomb."

What's the Hype With 'Interstellar' Revisiting Cinemas After a Decade in 70mm IMAX?

Here's Why You Need to Revisit 'Interstellar' in 70mm IMAX

Celebrate the love and hope at the center of Nolan's space epic in the format it was meant to be seen.

If we know anything about Christopher Nolan, he likes to go big. Nolan started with smaller-scale stories (as many of us do) with early noir adjacent works like Following, Memento, and Insomnia, then started going and staying big with his illusionist drama The Prestige. Since then, the scale has been various degrees of massive, with the biggest scope in his time-and-space sprawling epic, Interstellar.

While Interstellarmight not be everyone's favorite Nolan outing, there's no denying it's an impressive feat of filmmaking and his most emotional—if watching Matthew McConaughey's Cooper desperately try to reach his family through quantum space-time doesn't make you cry at least a little bit, what's going on, dude?

With Interstellar'sIMAX release, it's a great time to shed some tears in a public setting in one of the most prestigious film formats around. As we mentioned in our film gauge piece, Nolan loves shooting on film and utilizes 65mm intentionally to provoke a tone of massive scale. In that regard, Interstellar was made for 70mm IMAX. That goes without saying, dawg. That being said, other factors make Interstellar a perfect movie to revisit in theaters while you can.

Let's break down the release further below.
