This is an excellent recut, but it loses points because it is such an old movie and I barely remember it. Honestly, I don’t think I ever saw the movie.
Comparative childhoods

I got something to confess… I am old, like dude way old. I was born in 1972. Yeah there were people born in those days too, bud. I never feel so old as when we change interns at work (joy) or when I ponder about my niece and nephew. My nephew is going to start high school in September. WTF man? He was born in 1998, he is a baby… If you aint feeling down by now lets talk about my niece who was born in 2009.
The worst thing is that inside this old body I feel like a kid. Read the rest of this entry »

While it doesn’t seem to reach its humor potential, it is still a great commentary on our ridiculous use of effects.

Get Out of There
Posted by Chris on Wednesday, June 16, 2010
I love these mashups of overused Hollywood devices. Of course, I cannot blame Hollywood because we are to blame. We are the ones who crave the predictability in our movies and TV shows. Life just isn’t that convenient so we retreat to the world of fantasy.

Avatar Days

This device is not new. Chris Landreth won an Academy Award for his animated documentary about animator Ryan Larkin entitled Ryan. Documentaries about people with obsessive or unique lifestyles can be wildly entertaining, but again nothing new. So maybe combining the two will make this work. I’ll let you be the judge. I don’t partake in the WoW, but I bet those of you that do will like this.

How easy it is to write a great tune (part two)
Posted by Spike Matthews on Saturday, June 5, 2010
Part one, obviously, being the previous post. Truth to tell, I hadn’t thought there would be a second stage, or at least so early, but I Stumbled across a clip that slotted in perfectly.
You may recall I just posted a video about three guys proving that 4 chords are all you need to get yourself a decent tune. I remarked that the only other thing you needed was someone to write the lyrics for you.
But… what if you’re a bit strapped for cash and can’t afford to hire a decent lyricist?
You pinch bits from films and whack a backing track on it, that’s what…
