Video Friday

Posted on September 12, 2008

Because I liked the “photo a day” deal so much, I’m also going to try and find cool videos to post as regularly as I can — mostly on Fridays. I may end up shooting some of them but I also may just post other ones that I find around the Internets.

So, to get us going, here’s the first one out of the gate. In some ways, this video is better and more original than many things that come out of Hollywood (or the BBC for that matter). This point is made all the more interesting because this video was not made by Hollywood (or BBC) pros, but by a family on vacation who simply love a show and wanted to do something fun. Enjoy.

Michael Mann’s ‘Lucky Star’

Posted on August 31, 2008

Here’s an interesting fake trailer for a movie called ‘Lucky Star’ that’s actually a commercial for the Mercedes SL500. Made in 2002, starring Benecio Del Toro and directed by Michael Mann, its one of the longest and most expensive commercials ever made. Sadly, I did not work on it. However, even without my involvement, it’s still pretty damn cool — mostly because Mann is pretty much a genius.

Happy 25th ‘Return of the Jedi’

Posted on May 25, 2008

Loved the movie (of course) but I found those short, furry creatures kinda lame. But after this, I gave them a second chance. Maybe you will too.

Uwe Boll is a Genius — According To Him

Posted on April 10, 2008

I find this very amusing. I don’t think Uwe Boll is a very good filmmaker but I also agree a bit with his complaints about Michael Bay and the like. So much conflict for me at such a (relatively) young age.

Say what you will about his mostly-lacking skills as a filmmaker, but he sure does not lack self-confidence. Enjoy.

So long HD-DVD, I hardly knew ‘ya

Posted on February 16, 2008

toshiba-hd-dvd-casa-2_small.jpgGuess it’s time to put away the HD-DVD player attached to my XBox 360. Why? HD-DVD is going bye-bye.

Well, it was fun while it lasted. At least I don’t have to worry about which player to use to watch movies. My PS3 will be so happy.In truth, I always thought Blu-Ray looked better anyway and the upsampling for standard-def DVD’s is also very good. So, not a huge loss.

I need to spend less time in front of the TV anyway.

David Lynch on product placement

Direct and to the point, just how it should be. Plus, I happen to agree with him

What really happened to that X-Wing Fighter

Posted on December 8, 2007

Apparently, the previous video is not the complete story because there’s this. Makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Are we really alone?[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgF9hBL-CuA&rel=1]

Do you have your own X-Wing Fighter?

Posted on December 8, 2007

Build and launch your own X-Wing Fighter? Sounds impossible? Not for these guys. Although, it doesn’t end so well.[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rK-LKLxaieo&rel=1] 

The Shower Scene from Psycho

Posted on November 21, 2007

This is pretty funny and features some pretty good performances (at least by potato standards).

Enjoy and happy Turkey Day all.
