Friday Videos - July 19th, 2019

Slow week on the ole yewknee blog. Been neck deep in work projects and other things! Like, releasing podcasts, dropping hints, helping get new things out into the world. This all plays in to my constant contemplation about the role of blogs. Ideas are still forming around this but if you have thoughts on blogs, please get at me.. that is, assuming you see this here on the blog.

Anyway, here's some funs.

• Where Are All The Bob Ross Paintings? - great mini-doc piece from the NYT investigating where the thousands of Bob Ross paintings went and why you can't buy them. Good to see Aaron Byrd pop up in there.
• CATS trailer - I was fortunate enough to see CATS on Broadway and, lemme tell ya, this is the correct way to make a movie of it. Absolutely insane mixed with unbelievably self-serious.
• Watching the CATS trailer - how you should feel
• A Spacesuit Ballet - this week was the 50th anniversary of the Moon Landing. Doing some research on the original space suits reveals that many companies bid on the job and came up with some pretty amazing designs. This ridiculous video compiles many of them.
• We Fixed the Worst VFX Shot Of All Time - these pieces from Corridor Crew have been popping up in my YouTube feed a lot lately and I'm bizarrely into them. They spend some time here re-working the infamously awful CG shot of The Rock as The Scorpion King.
• Bump It - I hate that I laughed.
• The World's Worst Translator - I didn't think I'd like seeing Arturo Castro as anyone except Jaimé on Broad City but his show on Comedy Central has been consistently entertaining.
• Bern Your Omission works every time.

If you didn't hear it, try out this Endurance Challenge. Let the auto-play roll after it's over, pretty nice rewards for making it through.
