OnelargeprawnThe idea behind Three Frames is to deconstruct a movie into a three-framed animated GIF that is on an endless loop. The results are bizarre, retro, and strangely cool.
It’s a basic concept, but if simple things amuse simple minds, then it’s got me hypnotized. Have a look at some of them below – a 1000 points to anyone who guesses which movies the animations are from.
See more at the Three Frames tumblelog. Note that some of the animations are NSFW and could induce seizures.

It’s no secret that we’re fans of movie trailers here at Onelargeprawn, and I had intended to post these individually during the week. But now, for the sake of brevity and for your watching pleasure, I present to you Friday’s Mega Trailer Blowout! Admittedly there are only five trailers, but it took a mega-effort for my lazy-ass to compile this shit together. A simple thank you will suffice ;-)
Hit the jump to see trailers for Bronson, Zombieland, Dorian Gray, Inception, and Transforminators.

There are some movies where car power outshines the pitiful human element. In some instances the vehicle was a vital component to cover up the head-up-ass acting (yes you, Vin Diesel in The Fast and Furious).
Unreality breaks down 10 films where the actors were completely overshadowed by the autos they drove. Vroom vroom.
As part of his I Can Read Movies project, Mitch Ansara creates some really cool retro movie adaptation book covers.

God hasn’t taken too kindly to The Dark Knight like getting totally snubbed for a Best Picture nomination at the upcoming Oscars. He wrote a letter.

Ok, so a certain Academy has released a list of nominees for their upcoming awards show. It has all the attention in Hollywood at the moment. There is one award show, however, that is one of the least anticipated – the Razzies. Dishonoring the very worst to come out of Hollywood year after year since 1980, the Razzie Awards will take place on the night before the Oscars.
Hit the jump to see the nominees. And let us know your predictions in the comments.
Amanda is a chick. She’s only seen bits and pieces of the Star Wars trilogy but does an amazing job of telling the story in 3 minutes which took George Lucas 6 hours to do.

Shame on you. This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you’re going to let it be the worst. And I guarantee a week won’t go by in your life you won’t regret walking out, letting them get the best of you. Well, I’m not going home. We’ve come too far! And I’m going to stay right here and fight for this lost cause. A day may come when the courage of men fails… but it is not THIS day. The line must be drawn HERE. This far, no further! I’m not saying it’s going to be easy. You’re going to work harder than you ever worked before. But that’s fine, we’ll just get tougher with it! If a person grits his teeth and shows real determination, failure is not an option. That’s how winning is done! Believe me when I say we can break this army here, and win just one for the Gipper. But I say to you what every warrior has known since the beginning of time: you’ve got to get mad. I mean plum mad dog mean. If you would be free men, then you must fight to fulfill that promise! Let us cut out their living guts one inch at a time, and they will know what we can do! Let no man forget how menacing we are. We are lions! You’re like a big bear, man! This is YOUR time! Seize the day, never surrender, victory or death… that’s the Chicago Way! Who’s with me? Clap! Clap! Don’t let Tink die! Clap! Alright! Let’s fly! And gentlemen in England now abed shall know my name is the Lord when I tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take our Independence Day!
