The Shirt As with all these designs, try to start with a relatively clean, crisp bill. It will make it much easier. All folds should be sharply creased. It helps to go over the fold with a fingernail on a flat, hard surface. Start by folding the bill precisely in half lengthwise. Fold the bill one quarter of the way in from each side lengthwise. Turn the bill over. Turn the bill over again. Fold a little less than one third of the bill lengthwise from the opposite end as shown. Now you will fold inward in the same direction, tucking the previous fold under the "collar" created in step 4. Gently unfold the previous two folds, keeping the creases. (This step is hard to describe, but it is actually fairly easy.) (This is a close-up of what the fold should look like when complete.) (This is what it should look like after both sides are complete.) When you re-tuck the fold you've been working on back under the collar, you're done!

9 Nerdy Film Locations You Need to Visit in Your Lifetime | Underwire Wired.com is presenting a collection of galleries intended to help people become better geeks, nine items at a time. This is the seventh in the 9 for 9 series. - - - From Star Wars to Lord of the Rings, the spectacular geek destinations in the gallery above are some of the coolest movie locations on the planet. They're from films you've probably seen, but you'd have to be a well-traveled cinephile to have visited them all.We understand that to hit all these cinematic hot spots would be a time- and money-intensive affair, but we still made sure all the places on the list are actually locations that people can visit. Perhaps more importantly, these are locations that are really fun to travel to. (You can go to the California parks where Return of the Jedi was filmed, but without the Ewoks, the Forest Moon of Endor is really just a bunch of trees).These spots are scattered around the world, and all are worth the airfare. Let us know how many you've been to in the comments below.
Drunken Gummies (Vodka-Infused Gummi Bears) This Instructable takes a bit more than a week to complete, but the end result is certainly worth it! You will need: - 1 1/2 cups of vodka (can use more or less if desired)- 1 tub of gummi bear candies, plastic with lid (about 1kg. Tub found at Wal-mart)- 1 can of frozen juice concentrate, any flavour desired (I used fruit punch.) You can keep the juice frozen for now, as you will not need it for a few days. - First step is to open the lid of your gummi bears and pour in the vodka. - Give your newly introduced gummi-bears and vodka a stir, and replace the lid. - Let this sit for five days, stirring a couple of times each day.
Making A Science Fiction Movie On A Shoestring: Where Can You Cut Corners? I'm surprised that anybody would suggest shooting on film in an article on doing it on the cheap; film has so many hidden costs that digital lets you avoid ... the most significant of which is summed up in the term "Dailies". With video, you can check what you're shooting *there*. On *set*. Plus, there's the wacky, wacky fun of getting the film into the editing program - because you do NOT want to edit on a flatbed. Lordy, the only time I'd want to shoot on film when I'm on a low budget is if the inevitable disasters were an intentional part of the end product, and even then, I'd consider shooting digital and faking them in AfterEffects. @capnrob: She said if you can afford it. @Shaftoe: aaaaaand this is why I started off with the phrase "on an article about doing it on the cheap." @capnrob: I don't disagree. And lets not forget Barry Lyndon or American Grafitti. @Shaftoe: That's a lot of what is on my mind. 90% of everything I've shot my entire lifetime was/would be fine on digital.
Top 10 things you didn’t know about Tarantino films - 7mate - Channel 7 Anyone who’s ever seen a movie by boy-wonder Quentin Tarantino knows that the director has a very unique – often copied but never matched – style. The quirky dialogues, the many pop-culture references, the winks and nods to other films and directors, the stylised violence, and the feet... Tarantino flicks are a hoot, no doubt about it. And because we’re sure you’re looking for an excuse to watch them all over again, here are the top 10 things you didn’t know about Tarantino films.

Captain America All the girls in Kill Bill's Deadly Viper Assassination Squad are named after snakes and members of the Marvel Comics fictional organisation The Serpent Society – sworn enemies of Captain America. Trunk with a view One of Tarantino’s trademarks is the trunk shot: filming the action with the camera positioned inside the open trunk of a car.
