watch it: “The Queen, My Lord, Is Much, Much Better!”
Sample voiceover work by my friend Bob Kuhn… which also happens to be a snidely entertaining piece of nonsense in its own right.
web video of the day
watch it: “Stunt Kitteh Box Jump”
Sometimes, ya just gotta be in the box…
watch it: 1980s European Volkswagen Beetle commercial
A hilarious tie-in to this week’s unveiling of never-before-seen video of Eric Stoltz’s brief tenure as Marty McFly…
watch it: “Star Wars Uncut”
At Star Wars Uncut, they chopped Episode IV: A New Hope up into 15-second clips, asked fans to refilm those clips however they liked, and reassembled the best bits into a complete film, if one of a Frankenstein-ian sort.
watch it: “Star Wars / Macgyver opening”
Bonus points for the weird poignancy that comes from the fact that TV shows simply don’t have opening credits anymore… so the nostalgia works on multiple levels.
watch it: “Werner Herzog Reads Madeline”
With Herzogian interpretation. And it’s not really Herzog anyway. But it is hilarious.
watch it: “Kitten Massage Therapy”
It’s almost as relaxing to watch as it must be to experience…
watch it: 1960s Lucky Strike commercial
This ad wasn’t made by Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, but it could have been. Before they lost the Lucky Strike account, that is.
watch it: newly uncovered film footage of the aftermath of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire
This is totally mesmerizing; the city looks like Hiroshima after the atom bomb… except for the fact that all the utility poles and trees are still standing.
watch it: “It Gets Better: Dan and Terry”
It’s awful that we have to explicitly tell gay kids who are having a rough time not to kill themselves, but at least there are people like Dan Savage who are actually doing so…
