It's All About The 'Gyver!


I love Hulu and Youtube, but Joost will always hold a special place in my heart as the only (or at least the most legal) way to watch every MacGyver episode free. You only have to put up with 3 to 4 30-second commercials per episode and you don't have to sign up or anything! To whet your appetite, I present you with the opening credits for MacGyver in all it's 80's goodness:



P.S. Sorry about the non-widescreen resolution. I had to mess with the embed code a bit to have it fit inside the margins of the post. If you want to see the 640x360 resolution click Here (the video starts after the commercial).

The Godfather: Ruined

Well, I've officially run out of ideas (for now). In the mean time I'm going to steal them (the ideas). Here's a classic movie scene from the Godfather, ruined by a bad soundtrack in Something Awful tradition.

New Crazy Talk Video

I recently downloaded the demo of newest version of Crazy Talk (a program that makes still photos appear to talk). Here's a video I made using it:

Unfortunately, since it is a demo the watermark is still there. I would buy the program but it's $50. I need to decide whether I want to spend $50 bucks on a program that I would use maybe once or twice a month.

In the short time I've been in college I've seen a sharp rise in my viewing of funny videos. This is partially due the the fact the people around me are watching funny videos. Well enough talking, bring on the funny!

The Clone Wars

I'm going to see "Star Wars: The Clone Wars". From what everyone says, It's horrible.

Here are some choice quotes from reviews at IMDB:


  • "The acting and characters are wooden and two dimensional..."

  • "Stiff animation makes everyone come across as a cross between an action figure and a Thunderbird..."

  • "...disappointingly shallow, dull, and unneeded side story..."

  • "This movie fails on every level. It begins with, I kid you not, the announcer from The Powerpuff Girl's voice replacing the opening crawl we've come to know and love, presumably because the target audience, American children, can't read at even that glacial pace. I don't know if it's even necessary at this point to say something as redundant as 'this movie has a horrible script and stiff acting;' that's just something we've come to expect with Star Wars in the last decade."




Then why go see it you ask? I need to... I'm compelled to because it's Star Wars! It could be a movie about farting Taun-tauns and I'd see it if it was Star Wars. Apparently I'm not alone, it earned $14.6 million on it's opening weekend. The fact is that I'm going to see a movie that I know won't be good. Why?

Although the Star Wars Franchise in general has gone steadily downhill since George Lucas released the "remastered" versions of the original films and even more so with the so-called prequels, Star Wars fans don't seem to care. Sure we may groan and whine about how each of the prequels sucked in thier own special way (they did by the way), but with every new prequel that came out we lined up (and some of us even camped out) in droves to see the new steaming pile of shit that George had squeezed out. It's not because we're stupid or believed that this one was going to be the one that breathed new life into the franchise; we knew full well that "Revenge of the Sith" was going to suck (although we always did hold out a bit of hope). We saw it because there is something special about a world where good and evil have epic battles with lightsabers, because there is something magical in a world where the force exists, theres something so wonderful about the entire Star Wars universe that we just can't miss any part of it. We saw those movies and will continue to see them because we love Star Wars, and we're so eager to learn about every new facet of that universe that we're willing to sit through a bad movie to learn about it. No matter how bad the Clone Wars is, I'll sit through it and even enjoy parts of it. Not because those parts were particularly well written, but because I'm watching my favorite universe grow.

Generic Country Song #42

Keep in mind that this is an unfinished rough draft:

I just shot my dog on account of the rabies,
I've been under the weather all week,
My wife up and left me,
My kids say they hate me,
Man, what a hell of a week

Chorus:

And I'm so blue,
I can't see the sky,
I'm wonderin' why God, he hates me,
I'm thinkin''bout cryin',
I'm wonderin' 'bout dyin',
When did the world get so mean?

Star Trek

Last night I was bored and was perusing the short plot synopses of Star Trek episodes on Wikipedia. I have recently been on a Star Trek binge and was trying to decide which episode to watch next. Looking at the synopses, I have to say, was hilarious. Hour long shows are complex and very difficult to describe in a single sentence. Star Trek episodes are no exception. Even the best sentence long descriptions of the episodes are often less informative then they are "theater of the absurd". Some of the synopses seem a bit over the top, even for Star Trek.
I'll give a few examples:


  • "What Are Little Girls Made Of?"

    Nurse Chapel searches for her long lost fiancé, and uncovers his secret plan for galactic conquest.


  • "Shore Leave"

    The crew of the Enterprise visits a bizarre planet, encountering the rabbit from "Alice in Wonderland", fighter planes and Samurai.


  • "Spock's Brain"

    Captain Kirk pursues aliens who have stolen Spock's brain.


  • "The Way to Eden"

    The Enterprise is hijacked by a criminal doctor and his loyal, hippie-like followers who are attempting to find paradise.



And here's a few from Star Trek: The Next Generation:


  • "Darmok"

    Picard struggles to communicate with an alien Captain who speaks in metaphors, before an invisible beast kills them both.


  • "Bloodlines"

    DaiMon Bok returns to exact revenge on Picard, by trying to kill the son Picard never knew he had.

Graduation

As my High School Graduation looms ever closer I often find myself looking for words of wisdom. How should I conduct myself in the years to come? How long should I spend smelling the proverbial roses? How can I best realize my dreams in the future? I think this graduation speech sums up all of the answers pretty well...

If you're like me, you watched a lot of cartoons as a kid. Chances are some (in my case most) of the cartoons you watched featured Bugs Bunny.

3.12.2008

I recently acquired the vocals only version of Kanye West's Gold Digger. Shortly after that I acquired the instrumental only version of the same song. I decided the best use of these two files was to make it sound like a chipmunk was singing the song. This sounds simple when I write it down but actually took me a fair bit of time to get the vocal and instrumental track lined up just right:

Dan Rather Crazy



Notes: I made this using a neat little program called Crazy Talk that lets you edit still photos to make it appear as if they are talking. The first part is a computer generated voice, the last part is me screeching.

I'm also testing a custom youtube video player that will allow you to access all the videos I've uploaded to youtube:



PS
I apparently just accidently banned myself from youtube... (long story I literally banned myself) I will be in the process of re-uploading all my videos for the next few days

Utterly Outrageous Rumors

  1. The reason Wal-Mart is able to keep its prices so low is because they use their elderly greeters as collateral when dealing with foreign investors.
  2. Elvis and Bigfoot are married under common-law.
  3. Hitler is alive and currently working as a circus clown under the name "Baron von Happy".
  4. Contrary to popular belief, Michael Jackson is not a black male popstar, but a bloodthirsty alien killer from the planet Omnicron Persiei VIII whose gender depends on its mood.
  5. The Space Shuttle Challenger never actually exploded as it took place during the 1985-86 season of Dallas which was only a dream.

Set Phasers To Kill Presents: Leia's Surprisingly Good Memory

I made this video mainly to address a major continuity error between the old (good) Star Wars Trilogy, and the new (not so good) Star Wars Trilogy. Basically in Return of the Jedi, Leia implies that her mother, Amidala, lived long enough for Leia to get to know her. The problem is that in Revenge of the Sith, Amidala clearly dies immediately after giving birth to Luke and Leia. So that makes Leia either insane, a liar, an insane liar, or just a young woman with a remarkable memory. With that, I give you: "Leia's Surprisingly Good Memory" Enjoy!

Don't EVER Judge A Book By It's Cool Cover Art

I recently read a book that purported on it's cover to be a detective story. Half-way through the book I realized that not only was this not a detective story but a romance novel, it was also a badly written romance novel. Here is my summary of the plot:

Woman: I'm looking for a detective
Detective: I'm a detective!
Woman: Okay
Detective: (Drinks a beer)
Woman: I don't like you!
Detective: I don't like you either. I'm gonna abuse you, then we're gonna have sex. Ok?
Woman: Ok.
Detective: (Slaps Woman)
Woman: Make love to me!
Detective: Ok.
(They have sex)
Woman: Now I like you.
(Man walks in)
Woman: Ahhhhhhh! He's after my baby!
Man: HAHAHA!
Detective: (Shoots Man)
Man: Damn you and your concealed firearms permit!
Detective: What baby?
Woman: You know, the one we left with the complete strangers we found on that Indian Reservation?
Detective: Oh, that baby.
(They have sex again)
Detective: You have melted my icy cold heart through multiple instances of intercourse. I love you.
Woman: I love you too.

THE END


Next time I get a book, I'm reading the back. There goes ten hours of my life that I'll never get back again...
