The most memorable and famous movie quotes of all time (as listed by the American Film Institute) visualized in an infographic. This is awesome.
We’re talking about the 2004 movie Mean Girls – let’s discuss how a real girl becomes a mean girl in real life and what happens to them later on.
Dark endings make movies so much more interesting, right? Or don’t they? What do you prefer? This is a discussion – feel free to participate!
Alas, the Oscars, and with that, the awards season are over – we have a sad. Let’s celebrate the winners (and wallow in our sadness) with some infographics!

Let’s go to Thailand! The Siam Paragon Cineplex I’ve actually been to the Siam Paragon shopping center in Bangkok last November, but we didn’t go to the cinema there… As tickets were insanely expensive:
