Hitchcock was known for building suspense, Preminger for understanding the power of fascination and Hawks for his obsession with masculinity.

His latest film “Gone Girl” is no exception.

How To Be An Adult: Knowing Your Coffee

October 5, 2014

For some inexplicable reason, adult humans, dating all the way back to 400 B.C. have not only loved coffee, but have relied on it just to function. It's a proven fact that cavemen couldn't properly tend to their woolly mammoths without having a skinny iced soy vanilla caramel mocha latte with foam and low-fat gluten-free whipped cream to give them their morning caffeine boost. Of course this is a joke, guys. That drink has no caffeine in it.
