Supercut of the Day
Apr. 25, 2011
Supercut of the Day: Joseph Demme @ Cinexcellence has painstakingly compiled a 12-minute supercut featuring nearly every cinematic occurrence of the infamous stock sound effect in-joke known as the Wilhelm Scream — from its very first onscreen appearance in the 1951 Florida Western Distant Drums, through its revival at the hands of Star Wars sound designer Ben Burtt, to its subsequent overuse in modern-day cinema.

Upgraded Childhood of the Day: San Francisco held its 11th annual Bring Your Own Big Wheel derby yesterday, drawing over 2,000 Big Wheel enthusiasts to Potrero Hill, where they were asked to sign a liability waiver before flinging themselves down one of San Francisco’s steepest streets.
“It’s scary at first, but it’s not that hard,” participant Meredyth Masterson said. “You’re in motion and you can’t stop. You can only go forward. It’s freedom.”

Some Dumb Erratum of the Day
Apr. 25, 2011
Some Dumb Erratum of the Day: The New York Times was forced to issue an embarrassing correction yesterday, after an article about how the teen-girl tabloid Tiger Beat “has remained virtually unchanged since its inception in 1965, erroneously included a parody cover, produced by the satiric newspaper The Onion, that featured a picture of President Obama.”
And another news outlet gets added to the list.

From The Archives
Apr. 25, 2011
From The Archives: Presumably authentic WW2-era rules for playing through the Richmond (London) country club golf course.
A bit of context never hurt:
German aircraft from Norway would fly on missions to northern England; because of the icy weather conditions, the barrels of their guns had a small dab of wax to protect them. As they crossed the coast, they would clear their guns by firing a few rounds at the golf courses. Golfers were urged to take cover.
