    That’s some pretty solid camera work right there.

    Watching this for the rest of the day!

    Doing whatever it takes to get the shot.

    The Rains of Castamere - The National

    THE FUCKING NATIONAL DID A FUCKING SONG FOR FUCKING GAME OF FUCKING THRONES ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS

    My roommate and I heard this and I questioned whether the person picking ending songs for True Blood was branching out.

    12 Famous Book Titles That Come From Poetry

    1. The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold - “I Knew a Woman” by Theodore Roethke

    I knew a woman, lovely in her bones,
    When small birds sighed, she would sigh back at them;
    Ah, when she moved, she moved more ways than one:
    The shapes a bright container can contain! 

    2. A Handful of Dust by Evelyn Waugh - The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot

    …I will show you something different from either
    Your shadow at morning striding behind you
    Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
    I will show you fear in a handful of dust. 

    3. Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe - “The Second Coming” by William Butler Yeats

    Turning and turning in the widening gyre
    The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; 

    4. Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck - “To a Mouse, on Turning Her Up in Her Nest with the Plough” by Robert Burns

    But little Mouse, you are not alone,
    In proving foresight may be vain:
    The best laid schemes of mice and men
    Go often askew,
    And leave us nothing but grief and pain,
    For promised joy! 

    5. Far from the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy - “Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard” by Thomas Gray

    Far from the madding crowd’s ignoble strife
    Their sober wishes never learn’d to stray;
    Along the cool sequester’d vale of life
    They kept the noiseless tenor of their way.

    6. Remembrance of Things Past by Marcel Proust - “Sonnet 30″ by William Shakespeare

    When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
    I summon up remembrance of things past,
    I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
    And with old woes new wail my dear time’s waste:

    7. Endless Night by Agatha Christie - “Auguries of Innocence” by William Blake

    Every night and every morn,
    Some to misery are born,
    Every morn and every night,
    Some are born to sweet delight.
    Some are born to sweet delight,
    Some are born to endless night.

    8. For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway - “Meditation XVII” by John Donne

    No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend’s or of thine own were; any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

    9. The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers - “The Lonely Hunter” by William Sharp

    O never a green leaf whispers, where the green-gold branches swing:
    O never a song I hear now, where one was wont to sing.
    Here in the heart of Summer, sweet is life to me still,
    But my heart is a lonely hunter that hunts on a lonely hill.

    10. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou - “Sympathy” by Paul Laurence Dunbar

    It is not a carol of joy or glee,
    But a prayer that he sends from his heart’s deep core,
    But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings —
    I know why the caged bird sings!

    11. Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald - “Ode to a Nightingale” by John Keats

    Already with thee! tender is the night,
    And haply the Queen-Moon is on her throne,
    Cluster’d around by all her starry Fays
    But here there is no light,
    Save what from heaven is with the breezes blown
    Through verdurous glooms and winding mossy ways.

    12. A Passage to India by E.M. Forster - Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman

    Passage to India!
    Struggles of many a captain–tales of many a sailor dead!
    Over my mood, stealing and spreading they come,
    Like clouds and cloudlets in the unreach’d sky.

    Meet Randall Poster. He’s the guy who picks out the music in all of Wes Anderson’s films, including his latest Moonrise Kingdom (pictured above.) This is how Poster’s job works.

    (via How Wes Anderson Soundtracks His Movies : NPR)

    This dude is probably the coolest dude on the planet… just saying.
