Seven Videos
Before you dive right into the video playlist be sure you snagged the Halloween mix for this year.. it will increase the enjoyability of your weekend. Oh, and watch those Bonus videos - they are all Great, just not embeddable in a YouTube playlist.
  • Gordon Keith Interviews Zach Galifianakis - This is great because Zach is obviously stunned by getting his own interview treatment but a question or two in, he gets it and starts rolling with it. So good.
  • Cute Puppy - yea, that's right. 50 seconds of an adorable puppy making incredible sounds.. likely having a nightmare.
  • Fail Cancel - what happens when you are salmoning up the street and run into a guy not using a crosswalk? Nothing.. the mistakes cancel each other out.
  • Parkour Dog - the Parkour craze was fairly short lived but now it has made its way to the Animal Kingdom.. and I, for one, approve. This dog better get so many treats.
  • Bits in Pieces - a short film about computers made entirely without computers. Be sure to check the Making Of. Via Paige.
  • Star Wars vs Star Trek - typically I try to avoid posting such obvious nerd fodder but this is too well done to avoid. Particularly all the edits to the Star Trek footage.. pretty much spot on.
  • The Rent Is Too Damn High - Jimmy McMillan is no stranger to crazed politics but in this recent New York Governor's Debate he really shined.. everything about him: his look, his cadence, his message, his humor - spot on amusing and not entirely disagreeable. Some have compared him to Tennessee's own Basil Marceaux but I think there's a level of comprehension happening with Mr. McMillan that ole Basil never quite grasped.
BONUS
  • Oops - short film winner of the Vimeo Awards "Experimental Film" category. The transitions between clips are absolutely perfect. Please watch.
  • Salesman Pete - absolutely engaging / perfect animation. Love it.
  • FOPS - Yellow Jacket Corpse - Jeremy tipped me off to the fact that even tho Thee More Shallows is no longer a band, there's a new project called FOPS started by Dee Kesler.. good stuff.
Have a great weekend everyone. Halloween fast approaches.. make sure you got your costume and party plans all set before it's too late.
