I truthfully can’t claim to know anything about filmmaking or about the merits of a good trailer. I do watch a lot of movies and see a lot of trailers, both enticing and not. Trailers are my favorite advertisements. The good ones make me want to see those movies instead. The best ones make me want to watch them over and over again. Sometimes the trailer is better than the movie, and that’s ok. Here are three I keep coming back to.

Garden State

Pineapple Express

Lord of the Rings: Return of the King

I’ve been looking through a lot of children’s furniture sites looking for whimsical and fun home goods that wouldn’t look out of place in a child-less home. Although we are expected to act grown-up in public, that doesn’t mean our homes have to be stiff and boring. Here are a few I found from Land of Nod, Crate and Barrel’s online kids store.
