Dedicated to my little NMB, who enjoys this movie far more than most almost-three-year-olds.

Thoughtful Rant of the Day: The great libertarian Penn Jillette derides President Obama’s medical marijuana policies, his appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and his drug use — all without taking a breath.
(Not Safe For Work — explicit raving.)

Behind the Scenes of the Day: The latest Wes Anderson, Moonrise Kingdom, is out Friday, and star Bill Murray gives us a preview. The pair go back quite a ways — the actor has worked on every Anderson-directed film except Bottle Rocket (“I still haven’t seen that one,” Murray laments during his video tour of the project).

Heartwarming Tearjerker of the Day: Scott Widak has Down syndrome and is terminally ill with liver disease, and he loves to receive mail. So his nephew Sean O’Connor recently posted his P.O. Box on Reddit, to see whether anyone might be interested in sending his uncle a letter: “One of my uncle’s favorite things to do is open mail, and I thought that if he got a lot of mail it would cheer him up.”
It’s been a month since the post, and Widak, an artist, has received mail from all over the world, including the United States, Sweden, Finland, Australia, Japan, the United Kingdom, and Mexico. Redditors have sent heartfelt letters, custom artwork, art supplies, DVDs, and personal keepsakes.
“The mail that’s arrived has all been extremely positive and thoughtful,” O’Connor says. “My family and I are amazed at how so many strangers could come together for a random act of kindness.”
Don’t miss the rest of the pics — they’ll make your Monday.

What was the inspiration behind Strawberry Hills?
You know, it’s my favorite fruit, honestly. And… It’d be amazing being hit by a Strawberry Hill, it’d be amazing.
in which the interviewer (he’s a really bad one by the way oops) gets the name of the song strawberry avalanche wrong and adam kind of trolls him/doesn’t correct him.
