I had a rough week and could use some cheering up. Let’s start this new week off right by giving away a Criterion Collection copy of Wes Anderson’s breakout hit ‘Rushmore’ on Blu-ray. Follow after the page break for your chance to win.
When I placed my order at last month’s big Criterion sale at Barnes & Noble, I stupidly ordered another copy of ‘Rushmore’ even though I already had one in my collection. My mistake can be your gain, so long as you participate in our photo caption contest. All you have to do is come up with a funny or clever caption for the following image. Click to enlarge:
For example: “And thus, the Junior League of Evil secured its first three member nations.”
That’s all there is to it.
The winner will be chosen at our own subjective discretion based on whichever responses we enjoy the most. We have one copy of the Blu-ray to give away. Entries are limited to 10 per person. That should give you plenty of opportunity to craft a good submission, but will also help us to avoid any potential appearance of awarding prizes based on volume rather than quality.
This contest is only open to entrants from the domestic United States. We will not ship internationally (whether you’re a U.S. citizen or not). Employees of High-Def Digest or Internet Brands and their families are not eligible. Standard contest rules and conditions apply. People who have won any of our previous contests within the past one year are also not eligible to win, but may get Honorable Mentions.
The deadline for entry is this Friday, August 10th. The winners will be announced next week. Good luck, everyone!

There’s no way we get our asses kicked today…
In Soviet Russia, hat wears you!
Once again, Dirk would be trick-or-treating as the One Amigo.
Confused at the complexity of the gesture, the Russian delegate froze when asked to cross his arms right-over-left.
The worst performance of “The Safety Dance” ever.

The Russain repersitantive was clearly upset because Mexico and India didn’t allow him to display his flag. They said it “didn’t match the color scheme of their flags”

1. The olympic judges deliberate.
2. “Kirsten Dunst, we’ve exiled you to a place where your despicable choice of headwear will not bring shame upon this family.”
3. “We’re giving you one chance to figure out under which hat the marble lies.”
4. “We can’t make any promises that the guru will see you.”
5. “Don’t feel bad. You’re not the only one to be kicked out. Just last week we let go Carmen Miranda. Very stubborn… she never changes her fruit. Can you believe that? Rotten fruit on her head, refuses to buy fresh fruit.”

1. “We were told there would be BOOBS in this movie!”
2. …and so was revealed the judging panel for ‘The World’s Got Talent’
3. “Yes, but can you do the bottle dance with a sombrero and a LIVE cobra…?”
4. “All in favor to move Mexico to Asia say ‘aye'” “Aye!”
5. So the Indian guy says to the Genie: “The Mexicans are all back in Mexico and happy, the Russians are all back in Russia and happy…?” And the Genie says, “That’s right.” And the Indian guy says, “I’ll have a Coke.”
6. “Normal kids don’t dress this way and sit behind a large desk with microphones adorned by tiny flags. … We must be in a Wes Anderson film.”
7. Mason Gamble: “I was Dennis the Menace!'”
Jason Schwartzman: “I’m going to star in ‘Darjeeling Limited!'”
Kid on the right: “Um……..”
8. Vivid’s casting directors gets younger every year…
9. This isn’t “Risk,” this is “Rushmore Risk!”
10. “What do you mean we didn’t make the final call back for ‘Magic Mike’?”
Ben Swaim
“NBC’s all new reality talent show – “HipStar” took a turn for the worst when the judges started trying to “out-quirk” one another. Scandal broke out when it was revealed that Judge #2 was not actually wearing Non-Prescription Eyeglasses, but instead needed corrective lenses for his poor vision…which in turn made him too “un-hip” to judge. He was later replaced by Michael Cera.
