What is this? Every single day of the week (almost), a new "Graboid", a single moment grabbed from a random movie, appears on this site for you to guess the name of the film, share with your officemates, or discuss on our message boards.

The bridge to get you from here to there is usually filled with bombs, horrendous puns, and thoroughly awful wordplay. However, this week I’m going very short-and-scrappy on y’all. Let’s get down to it. Oi! Russell Crowe David Cronenberg’s massive cinematic tsunami of A History of Violence was one of my favorite films of last … Continue reading
