Tumblr Tuesday

Reblog This Film Festival was last night in Hollywood, and it got me thinking… Sure, I could be bummed that it’s sunny and beautiful in Los Angeles while I’m stuck in a rainy New York. But then I realized I don’t need to go to Hollywood, I can bring Hollywood to me.

Let us now imagine what each of these Tumblr blogs would be like if they were turned into movies!

Watch It Grow
In a world filled with weak facial hair, one man fights against dirty looks and accusations of being a molester for the glory of possessing the most epic mustache of all time. Life as we know it hangs in the balance. With explosions!

Zombify
Terror. Dread. Cute zombies! A small, depressed town in rural America is overrun by the cutest and most adorable zombies that audiences have ever seen! The ignorant townspeople initially fight their invaders, but eventually learn to work with them to make a better world. With explosions!

From Me To You
A mild-mannered NYC photographer and collector finds more than she bargained for in a creepy old antique store. She’s forced to fight for her life as a shadowy government agency hunts for the secret she unearthed. With explosions!

Legos!
A young girl finds that the scenes she makes with her Lego building blocks turn into real life. She decides to use this power to help find her widowed dad a new wife, and learns along the way that you can’t force love and that pirates are awesome. With explosions!

Tom Oatmeal
Tom writes steamy romance novels, but has never felt love himself. After a horse bites off Tom’s hand, he hires a quirky female assistant to help him meet his upcoming deadline. Through a series of hijinks, both learn that you just might find the love of your life when you least expect it. Sadly, these two hate each other with a passion and will both die alone. With toast!

What? I like toast. Who do you nominate for next Tumblr Tuesday?

Tumblr Tuesday

Greetings, Tumblr! I’m coming to you live from a runaway balloon somewhere over Colorado. I’m risking my life here just to get publicity for Tumblr Tuesday and all the rad stuff you guys are doing. I figure that the GQ t-shirt guy from your Dashboard liveblogging in an out-of-control ballon is one hell of a story.

Crap! I’m losing altitude! Hold on, everyone.

Ugh. Good gravy! I’m stuck in some power lines. Somebody send help! Scramble the choppers! Shoot me down with a Red Ryder! Do something!

Fuck Yeah Dogs on Computers
As incredible as these guys are, I want to caution you from encouraging this type of canine behavior. Sure sure, Rex looks cute and innocent now, but give him some time and eventually he’ll be able to do your job and please your significant other.

Rappers That Suck
I’ve always had what I feel is a very rational fear of being forced to compete in a freestyle rap battle against a skillful opponent who deftly crushes me in front of a raucous crowd. This Tumblr blog gives me hope that, while I may still be forced to compete against my will, my opponent may totally suck.

Hello, New York
Well hello right back at’cha, blog! You sure do have some nice photos there. Granted, it’s got to be nearly impossible to take bad photos of the greatest city in the world, but you’ve picked the best of the best.

Prettify
Prettify will make your computer so sexy that you’ll want to take it to fine Italian restaurants. In no time you’ll be forced to admit that it’s the real thing, you’ll sever all ties with friends and family, and you’ll take your computer on a romantic getaway to Bora Bora.

elevenfourty
Courtney is a designer, writer, and journalism student. She writes about fashion and music, enjoys long walks on the beach, and is just your typical awesome Tumblr user.

I’m counting on you guys. Who do you nominate for next Tumblr Tuesday?

Tumblr Tuesday

You guys! Look at these Tumblrs I found. They were just sitting there in the answers to last week’s Tumblr Tuesday. That reminds me: Did you know that I visit and read every single suggestion you folks make? It’s true. I also make surprise visits to each site over the course of several weeks and perform an intense series of interviews with the Tumblr user to be sure they meet my strict guidelines.

And now… Five totally random Tumblr blogs!

Linus in Hats
Internet, meet Linus. Linus is a cat that wears fake hats and other things. Actually, I have to be honest with you people: I think these pics are photoshopped. Still, you should check it out to see a cat dressed up as Freddy Krueger, if nothing else.

Urlesque on Tumblr
Urlesque is the hub for internet culture and trends, and their Tumblr blog is the drawing board where memes first take hold.

Little Finds for Halloween
Whoa, there’s only 17 days until Halloween? I need to get started on my costume. I’m going to go as my Tumblr Dashboard. I don’t have much time to practice my cat-shark-Scarlett Johansson-Gary Busey-Scarlett Johansson impression.

Proof …Math Is Beautiful!
Beautiful? Are you sure we’re talking about the same Math? The one with all the numbers and stuff? Yeah, the one I’m talking about has a great personality. Okay, moderately attractive, but that’s as far as I’ll go.

Internet Archaeology Blog
Wow. I had forgotten how junky the internet used to look. What was going on back then? My theory is that we were all so blown away with technological prowess that we didn’t even notice that everything looked horrible. Good times.

Now you! Who do you nominate for next Tumblr Tuesday?

Tumblr Tuesday

Hey gang! How’s it going? Man, you guys wouldn’t believe some of the amazing things we’re working on over here at Tumblr HQ. There’s something magical around every corner. It’s pretty much exactly like Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory without the fruit-coated wallpaper (I’ve checked).

On the other hand, we do spontaneously break into song after sending disobedient children to their doom.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls… The latest five picks for Tumblr Tuesday:

We love stop-motion
You’ll find the best stop-motion, timelapse, pixilation, and claymation videos on the web at this Tumblr blog. Videos are curated with a love for this timeless (see what I did there?) art, and submissions are encouraged.

Neighborhoodr
Neighborhoodr is a reader-generated blog network where anyone can quickly and easily post about what’s happening in their neighborhood. Focused exclusively on New York City for the moment, the network is made up of over 60 Tumblr blogs with each assigned to a specific neighborhood.

Funny or Die
Whoa, it’s the official Tumblr of Funny of Die! There’s lots of funny pictures and videos here that I’m sure you’ll love, and I’m not just saying that because they promised me a free t-shirt. (Look: I’m a sucker for free t-shirts.)

Let’s All Help Brett Davis Meet Jeff Goldblum
Brett Davis has a dream. You may not think it’s a very noble dream, but that’s because you’re not Brett Davis. If you were, you’d undoubtedly agree that the opportunity to meet the star of such films as The Fly and Jurassic Park is not only noble, it’s a moral imperative.

Awesome YouTube Comments
It’s my sincere hope, of course, that advanced alien civilizations never find out about this website. For if they do, the entire human race could be dismissed as nothing more than idiotic mouth breathers and forced into bondage by irate extraterrestrials. As much as I enjoy a good laugh, I can’t support gambling with the downfall of humanity like this.

Now it’s your turn! What are some other Tumblr blogs that you’d recommend?
