Video Friday – The Sherman and Mr. Peabody Backstory

The story I never knew as a child can now be told. It’s the Sherman and Mr. Peabody backstory. Also known as: How a dog found his boy. Enjoy.

Video Friday – RIP Bettie Page

In case you don’t know who I’m talking about, here’s some video that points out the true phenomenon that was Bettie Page — who, sadly, passed away yesterday at the age of 85. Time Magazine also has some great photos and a tribute over here, so take a look. Enjoy.

Video Friday – Bible in a Minute

This is pretty self-explanatory. It’s also perfect if you just don’t have much time in your life to read a really long and complicated book like the bible. Enjoy.

Bonus Video – ‘Star Trek’ versus ‘Star Wars’

Finally, the definitive battle between Star Trek and Star Wars is waged with the victor emerging triumphantly to take its place at the top of the galactic food chain. Or, does it? Enjoy.

Video Friday – America the RickRolled

Really, how can I not post this video from yesterday’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade? It’s funny and has a lot of significance, at least in the online community where I spend much of my time.

Plus, its funny to hear how not in touch people on TV really are. So, sit back and enjoy.

Video Friday – Sarah Palin and the Turkey

I don’t really have much in the way of witty banter for this particular video. I really think it speaks for itself. One thing I will say, however, is that I’m sure glad I’m not a turkey.

Also, if you happen to be a bit squeamish, you might not want to watch. Otherwise, enjoy.

Video Saturday – The New Star Trek Trailer

After watching this trailer for J.J. Abrams upcoming relaunch of the Star Trek franchise, all I can really say is that it looks like something Michael Bay might have done. I can only hope that lurking somewhere behind all the visuals and explosions is a decent story and a faithful treatment of the characters.

I guess we’ll see in May 2009. Until then, enjoy.

Video Friday – The Matrix Runs on Windows

Just imagine how annoying and frustrating things would have been for Neo, Morpheus, Trinity and the gang if The Matrix ran on Windows. Although, if it did and ended up having this many errors, we might have been spared the two sequels.

Alas, that didn’t happen. But its fun to think about the what if? Enjoy.

Video Friday – We’ve Come a Long Way

With the election of Barack Obama on Tuesday, I thought it would be fun to look back a bit and watch the speech that first brought the then Senator from Illinois to the attention of the greater public at large. Even then, four years ago, at the Democratic National Convention, you can see his eloquence, intelligence, power and gain a very revealing glimpse into the man who will, four years later, become the 44th President of the United States.

Clearly, he’s quite a man indeed and I, for one, can’t wait to see what he will do. Enjoy.
