Reimagination of the Day: In his ongoing poster series “Movies from an Alternate Universe,” illustrator Peter Stults imagines what it might look like if modern-day movies were made during previous Hollywood eras. “Who would be in it? Who would direct it? So here we are.”
Check out the rest here.

This is an awesome idea.
One of the worst things about growing up is not being able to watch Disney movies without a strong desire to point out all the horrible inaccuracies and becoming absolutely annoyed with the female characters.
Or, like…any movie ever. I don’t know if this is growing up or just cynicism, but I really cannot just watch a movie anymore without noticing things that annoy me about it.
Day 2: Your favorite movie.
Again, I don’t have just one; I have a whole bunch of movies I love, but their position in my list of favorites shifts according to my mood. Probably my most consistent favorites are Labyrinth and Rocky Horror, but Love Actually and Juno are close behind them.
WELL IT’S A GOOD THING I DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT THEN.
