It's been an incredible tournament. The day after Ronnie did that, pocketing £160000 for it, Ali Carter also did a 147, nicking half of the prize! :laugh: Today, not only having set a new record for number of maximums in competitive play (9), Ronnie beat Stephen Hendry 17-6, who said after that it was the best he'd ever played against. Ali Carter vs. Joe Perry is yet to be decided, but good as they are, I can't see either of them denting Ronnie's current form for the final on Sunday. When the mardy bugger's head is in the right place, he is untouchable.

His journey took him to many glorious places. One of which was through the fabled city of Sheffield in the land of South Yorkshire.
His exploration of the legendary Steel City took him to once magnificent ediface, called The Crucible.
The Crucible......home of many titanic feuds. Gladiatorial combat. mano-y-mano. The forces of Light and Darkness battling on the green baize. Clashes the likes of which, even the Gods themselves feared.

RossRoy once walked by the building called "The Crucible" which is located in Sheffield and the place where the pool tournament takes place. The building appeared to be a little run down and therefore could use a paint job in order to get back into shape.

Bloody brilliant! Absolutely spot on. For years I have watched the World Snooker Championship and they always go on and on about the wonderful venue and how it's the best in the world. I hope it's better inside, because when I saw it, I would have classed it architecturally mid to late 70s "shit-hole"... :devil:
Sheffield as a hole is not a shit-whole... whold on... I've got me "holes" and "wholes" mixed up. And I tell you, you never want to get your holes confused. Ahem. :-[
Sheffield is a great city. Apart from the outside of The Crucible. :P

Let's if you can spot a very famous sound / theme in there:I had to read in the comments at YouTube what is is. Didn't hear it at all (then again, it seems to be the old version way before I cared about such things....)

YouTube recently decided it would be a cool idea to identify my location thorugh my IP and then adjust the language accordingly. So, when I surf to www.youtube.com I get transferred to tw.youtube.com and instantly feel illiterate :-\ Now, Google basically does the same, but they always give me the "Google.com in English" link at the bottom, so it's easy to switch (and memorized for a while via cookie...). However, YouTube seems to have forgotten about us expats and I don't see such link, so I am stuck with the Chinese every time I get there. (Yes, there are the flags in the top right corner, but those don't offer US and are also very temporary.
Anyone has an idea how I can tell YouTube that my English reading abilities are better than my Chinese?

In two weeks time, there are elections for the local parliament "Landestag" of the Bundesland (state) Bavaria. Next year there are elections for our national parliament "Bundestag" but the campaigning has already begun.
At any given point in time somewhere in Germany are always elections and every polititian is sitting like a rabbit in front of the snake called "polls".

I've not watched it all because I can't wait to see Button and don't want to potentially ruin it. Embarrassing for the writer maybe, but this is a directors film more than anything! Empire at least already talked about the similarity in their review, but said how Fincher's tone is very different.

Depends on the cinema, but 20-30 minutes before the movie starts in the big cinemas sounds about right. We often go to small cinemas when watching non-mainstream movies, and there is no or only few adds.

Don't know. Last I went to the theater was for Star Wars The Phantom Menace - I went countless times while I was waiting for my girlfriend to finish work at the theater.
Before that, it was Terminator 2. So you can see I love theater ;)
Post by: DJ Doena on March 16, 2009, 10:54:38 PM
By the way, this being an international forum, how many ads do you have to sit through at the pictures?
In my theatre it's about a 20 minutes mix of ads and trailers (way more ads though) then a Langnese (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langnese) spot, then the icecream sellers and then another 10 minutes of trailes. Then the "You may have bought a ticket but we still think you are a movie pirate* and you are trying to copy our movie from this screen and we will sue you" text panel. And then the movie.
* In Germany they have invented the term "Raubkopierer" (Raub = armed robbery, Kopierer = a person who makes copies).
And they show these "nice" spots:
(When does dad return? Four more times of singing.)

When I came to Taiwan 12 years ago they would only play a few trailers! I was in heaven. In recent years they have started playing one or two PSAs, then about 5-10 ads before playing 2-3 trailers. All in all it takes about 10-15 minutes, depending where you are and what time it is. I remember I used to watch the matinee shows on Sundays for a while, as they would play the (ads and) trailers before the official starting time. So, if you went in at the correct time the movie would start right away :) Haven't dome that in a while, so I am not sure if it has changed. --- The IMAX, being more expensive, is annoyance free.

And I like how he can also give the same style to stuff he actually likes. Like the Rocky series.

Britain's Got Talent has had some seriously good dancers this year. I thought you might enjoy these three auditions (all have since also performed in the semis, which are also on YT of course):Not really my cup of tea, but Diversity was at least rather....diverse.

Yes I figured the germans here wouldn't find it so funny because they don't rely only on sub-titles............but it's still pretty amusing. "Don't worry, Alonso already drives a tank" is very funny.

Anyway, I usually watch it with the sound turned off, therefore only getting the information from the subtitles but not from the audio.

I have played Call of Duty: World at War and found that the Pacific side of the war is apparently not very well known to us. From what I can tell (I am not sure Windtalkers would count as an overly accurate retelling) it was a rather vicious war over there. (Not that war isn't visious in any shape or form.)
I might want to reconsider and get Band of Brothers on Blu-ray in the next available sale.

So, if there was ever the time, this is it. (I just order; especially as they have almost all Criterion Blu-ray for $19.99!)

Today is the 66th birthday of one of the greatest actress of the Golden Age. This is probably why most of you know her (no way that I could had post some of her other works at YouTube :devil:).
How can this have gotten 5 stars on youtube ? Plllllllllllease, she's ugly, she's a bad singer and a bad dancer.
Post by: Jimmy on July 26, 2009, 10:23:51 PM
OK for the dancing part and a little bit for the voice, but for the first part.... You're wrong Eric, very very wrong indeed! She looks better in her film but since I can't post them...

I always thought it was quite fitting. As a matter of fact it was because of this game, that I gave Babylon 5 a chance, because when I caught an episode of the third season on TV, it very much reminded me of WC4. E.g. the uniforms and the break of the main characters from the Earth.

Not necessarily. There was an interview done where I was working last year and of course you're told, but they don't babysit you. You want to arse about, it's up to you! I bet the cameraman spotted it and was wetting himself... :laugh:
...But you were told :p .... This guy must have known they were filming.
Post by: northbloke on February 05, 2010, 01:28:24 AM
Looking at the interview, the guy seems to be sitting too high in terms of perspective to the rest of the room, so I'm guessing he's either in a separate office with a window or an external feed of the office has been blue-screened behind him.
If either is the case, then it's possible that although the staff had probably been told an interview would take place at some point, they may not have been aware that it was happening at that time.
Still bloody funny... ;D

If he knew he was on film then he would not have looked so "deer caught in the headlights" when he turned around.

That would be unusual. Normally just a couple of guys with a camera and they sit him with the office in view. The way he looks at the camera, he'd definitely busted!

What I didn't understand was if this was more a proof-of-concept demonstration or if they really let a woman walk into a green wall instead of a real bus stop (0:34)

Nina is very old but she is not a thoroughbred. Her parents were champions; her mom is an Australian Shepard and her dad a Shar Pei. Her mom jumped the fence separating them and after a "Hi big boy"...:devil:...puppies!
The owners were devastated until they found out that all of the owners of the adopted puppies LOVED them. Nina is the best dog I ever had. She was completely trained in less than a week and could not be more perfect.
After several years of begging, Nina's parents were bred one last time and I now have Nina's sister, Samantha, another perfect dog. I would have adopted another puppy but, alas, they only had the two litters.
I love all of my other dogs but there is something different and special about the Shar Pei. They seem to be smarter, quicker to learn and "more human" if you know what I mean. I never had to train them, they just figure things out...very cool.

Wonder how many takes it took to get almost 7 minutes of perfect playing. These kids are pretty good! :thumbup:
The best thing about this video is, that it is in fact only one person doing both parts. I had to look at the end credits and the description to make sure, that it is one person and not twins. Really done well. Especially because the guitar overlaps with the hand of the keyboard player. I only noticed one glitch (not counting the different shadows behind the persons).

Holy crap. Hadn't noticed that. Thought they were twins. (I have twins so I guess I'm used to looking at them without thinking about it :laugh: ). Even harder then that he was so together with himself as he played. :o

Did you know you can link (doesn't work with the embedding) directly to a point in a video?
This goes to a video where someone recreated one video game (Heavy Rain) using another one (Grand Theft Auto IV)
Link to video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1kFNxpp-Ak)
Since the video is mainly only funny for people who know the game(s), one might be inclined to link directly to 4:30 within the video, where a more genreally comical bit happens:
Link to 4:30 within video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1kFNxpp-Ak#t=4m30s)
This is by adding "#t=4m30s" to the video link:

I must add that it's not my taste - at all - musically. And it also highlighted something I hate about modern music - Autotune! Ugh! If you can't sing, autotune will not make yoy sound better, just annoying! What happened to trying again? I hate the sound that autotune gives to songs..

Haha I told you it was mental! I actually quite like that band... and that song :-[, but I suppose it's my generation. I knew a lot here wouldn't like the song but it's worth watching just to see how insane that clip is, it really gets you off gaurd.Also about the clip, all those flashy model type guys on stage aren't actually the band, the people who actually made the song are just a bunch of nerds and I noticed that they were in the crowd cheering on with all the girls. Interesting, I think there's supposd to be some sort of 'death to all boy bands' message there.

You're right, Sophie. Hot Chip are a great band actually. This is very interesting! Hot Chip don't use auto-tune, because actually, they have a rather unique sound. They're obviously using auto-tune to make themselves sound like a manufactured boy band and the first part of the video fits in with that.
Basically this is them taking the piss out of what a band is perceived to be now. That video is their current single, but this is the classic one we all know in the UK:
Personally, I hated them. But it grew on me and there's something comforting about how successful they've become while being very different. The first half of this song sounds like shit, but each time I hear it, all sorts of hidden things come out.
Still prefer this, any day of the week though! :P

Post by: Achim on May 28, 2010, 06:49:21 AM
I was looking up some Aussie comedy, and came across this (again). Remembering that Kathy likes cats (and is a lovely person), I figured I'd share:Through the Invelos webiste I was pointed towards The Micallef Program, which I absolutely loved! This seems to be from a different, older show though.
Just found this on a gaming news site:

I can't for the life of me understand how this did not win the Oscar for best short film?
Post by: W0m6at on May 29, 2010, 04:56:00 AM
It's a great little short film (30mins iirc). I've got it on DVD, and am dreadfully disappointed that the sequels alluded to on the official site never came to fruition. The DVD comes with some of the director's other shorts, but none are anything like Jasper.
I can't for the life of me understand how this did not win the Oscar for best short film?
btw, the title on the clip is incorrect. It's actually The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello.

I didn't watch the clip because I'm on a phone connection and it's a pain in the derriere to watch something on YouTube. But judging by the title, I found your reaction exaggerated. Depending of when and by who sometimes it's really enjoyable to get rough in this area :devil:

I honestly don't know what they were thinking. There is a fatal flaw in this ad (besides it being pretty lame).
The flaw I am talking about is in one scene two girls are shown driving in the car, with the driver on the left side of the car. What the hell! This is Australia. We drive on the right side of the car here, nation wide. As far as I know there is no exception to this. Yet here, in this commercial advertising Australia the person is driving on the wrong side of the car, just like America or something. It can't have been a mistake, they must have done it for some stupid reason. Who knows where they even got a left sided car in this country.
Maybe Wombat will be able to shed some light on this for me.

Did you get that the city was supposed to be New York? It was filmed in Melbourne but I'm pretty sure they were going for New York. The ad is okay but really, you only see about 10 seconds of actual Australia in it.

The next day I asked her how everything went in her town, and she told me, she just got home and withing 10 minutes a tornado touched down and wiped out houses just 200 yards from hers. She was lucky.
The line of storms that passed through that night turned out to be the beginning stages of that super blizzard that hit New England and the North Atlantic that was the basis for the story The Perfect Storm.

This is a song from the movie "Main Hoon Na", which is directed by first-time director Farah Khan, who by that point was a famous Bollywood movie choreographer. And this song feels like that she did something here which other director's never allowed her to do: Shoot a very elaborate choreography with a lot of camera movement, which looks like it was a real pain to shoot. Still one of my favorite Bollywood dance numbers, which I never get tired of watching.
The first three minutes look a one continuous shot, but there are some instances where I am not sure if a well-placed cut is hidden. I would like your opinion on it. Do you think there are cuts or not?

I dunno, it looks just like one long shot to me. Although I know there are digital ways of making a few shots look like one long seamless one. It was done in the film Children of Men.
I'd say it's definitely a trick, but it's a bloody good one! There are several moments where something "swishes" past or the camera whips around. The camera is also fairly static; it moves within a set area, so it's possible that the performance was largely one session, but the cameras could be physically moved out the way of the dancers, while they were doing it, then multiple strands of footage could be fed together. Very clever whatever they did.

Two Swedish girls, twins, had been caught on CCTV walking down the central reservation of the motorway and then a report that one had been hit by a car came in and officers responded. Thing is, she was fine. Just stood at the side with police/paramedics who had got there first.
What happened next is astonishing. They just throw themselves into traffic without warning... :suicide:
I'll let you watch it and I look forward to your comments! :laugh: This video is the first 12 minutes or so of a documentary that went out the other night called Madness In The Fast Lane. I'd often wondered where the girls had come from and what happened to them. I had no idea. The whole story is just... :stars:

Her sister was released after two days after the road incident and then went on killing a random man by ramming a knife in the chest. Then she tried to bash in her own head with a hammer. But prosecution and defense claimed she was mentally ill, they just couldn't agree on the illness. Unfortunately both psychologists claimed she was well again on the day of the conviction so the judge couldn't put away her forever. She was sentenced to 5 years and can plea for parole next year.
Very bizarre...

The cameras followed Sabina in custody. She exhibited no signs of mental illness at all. In fact, it's really creepy watching her, because not only is she laid back, but also flirty and witty. She's assessed by several people who haven't seen the motorway footage and declare she's ok. She goes to court and the judge sentences her to a day in custody, already served. She's released and gets talking to two random men who enquired if she was ok, as she looked lost. One of the men, a 54 year old, offered to help her find her sister.
Now you could easily read into that. Lonely old man... Swedish blonde... it's like a joke, but the program showed he was genuine and simply helpful. She killed him suddenly and without warning the next day.
She ran off with the mallet and a roof tile and as Karsten says, was seen bashing herself in the head. A random car driver stopped and wrestled the hammer from her and she hit him in the head with the roof tile! She was then chased by paramedics until she jumped off a 40ft bridge, breaking both ankles.
In court, she was once again showing no signs of mental illness, so the case was tough. Defence and Prosecution both came up with different but equally rare explanations for her illness (fascinating stuff!), but the law prevented the judge from giving her a hospital or unlimited sentence. She was fit to stand trial, so she was fit to serve a fixed sentence.
Sadly, once again justice is let down by a lack of common sense. Her sister Ursula was never examined and is likely just as nuts as she is. The nature of either diagnosis means it could happen again, but she'll be free of supervision (the judge was especially frustrated by that). Someone should have stepped in and said, screw the law, we know what happened. That poor mans family have to live with his death. To be honest, they're letting Sabina down as well. She is clearly ill.
The two diagnosis, which will likely interest Kathy, are commonly known by French terms, but I at least remember the descriptions! :-[
Puff of Madness: An episode of insanity that can come and go very suddenly, but lasts for a relatively short term.
Madness of Two People: This is weird, but most likely. It suggests a person can be "infected" by madness from another person they are close to. So identical twins are good subjects as the boundaries of their personalities blur anyway.
My personal view is that they were superhuman clones from a corrupt genetic experiment. Probably ran by a company called Skynet... Ok, I'm being silly, but this story is so crazy, if someone proved it, it wouldn't surprise me.
Antares, our police do have tasers, but I'm sure there are strict rules about using them. That was a very unusual situation. A medium build blonde girl, unarmed, who has just been walloped by a car and should by rights be dead, is facing off against several bemused coppers who don't know how injured or not she is.

As far as the bull goes, good on him! Managed to injure 40 people in one go. But then I think of the thousands of bulls tortured and killed in this savage way every year, for hundreds of years and it makes me sick again. Maybe next time a bull attacks it will actually off some people, those creatures need revenge.

Also his is a typical, very small terrace. Where you can see his bin is literally his front garden. If he has 6ft square outside his door, it would be typical.

I was watching an Australian game show on TV tonight and one of the guests was American. One of the questions had to do with a wheelie bin when the American asked 'what's a wheelie bin' which caused the audience to laugh heaps. But it got me wondering, what are wheelie bins called in the US? Can any Americans of the forum help me out here?

Oh, I can answer that. American's do have wheelie-bins, but they are much larger and used in a slightly different manner. I believe they call them "trailers"...
Hence the term: "Trailer Trash". I assume that's its origin anyway.

I have started seeing more of wheelie-bins here in the states. They are normally (my experience) called trash cans. That is what we had/have for trash, round metal cans with detached lids. These evolved from heavy steel cans to lighter aluminum to plastic.
Trailer trash is a derogatory term for poor people. Usually thought of as Southern Rednecks although not limited to that.

Thanks for this explanation. I was always under the impression that trash can was the steel cans you described, like what Oscar the grouch lives in in Sesame Street, I didn't know the same term was used for wheelie bins. It doesn't make much sense to me, as the two don't look similar at all, but I suppose sometimes it's just easier to keep the same name for things.

I think what Halo2 was saying is that traditionally, Americans use "trash cans", what we would call in the UK a "dustbin". In the UK, the dustbin has been phased out of general use by the wheelie-bin, a large plastic swing lid bin with wheels. I think trash cans are still most common in the US?
Dumpsters are much bigger and we have them too, usually for businesses. But they are very much like a large wheelie-bin.

I'm not. That isn't justice. The RSPCA is powerful enough to get her prosecuted properly and reasonably. No-one deserves the full force of a rabid Internet mob; she should be heavily fined and banned from keeping pets at the very least. There was a death threat group set-up on Facebook... that just beggars belief.
Here in the UK we do tend to have bad enough anti-social crime anyway in any part of the country, without giving them an excuse. I wouldn't be surprised if she has to move away.

Jon I agree, I think that it is pretty wrong for people to be treating her the way they are....she may even loose her job. HOWEVER! I do think that she deserves any fine/penalty that the RSPCA or the Police give her... and I think what she did was disgusting.

Who would even think of doing something like that? Imagine wanting to see that poor animal starving, left in the terrible heat without water and then being crushed to death by the garbage truck.
I hope her life has turned into a living hell. She deserves any and all the outrage that has been garnered against her. And the police protection - she should be forced to pay those charges herself.

The RSPCA didn't seem to be doing anything though. From all I read it appeared they just had a "talk" with her, it doesn't make any sense. I haven't even heard of a fine. Over here the RSPCA can fine for even very small offences against animals, but this is a rather large one and should be a hefty fine at the least. If the RSCPA aren't going to lift their game and do anything then I'm glad the online groups have, otherwise she would have hardly any backlash from this at all.

I hope she is prosecuted, because that's the right thing to do, but there are far worse examples of cruelty that have to go unpunished due to lack of evidence. This woman would become the scapegoat/poster girl for a lot more cruel acts.
I know it may seem extreme but I can't help it, I have always been this way. I just don't tolerate cruelty to animals in any form at all. To me there is no punishment great enough for a human who believes they have the right to torture animals, especially a defencless one like a cat. So maybe I see irrational right now? That is most likely true but that's how I am. When I was in Primary School (about 9 years old) I once punched a boy becuase he wouldn't stop throwing pine cones at the parrots in the trees. I have been the same way ever since.
I do the same, Sophie. But the point is, you punched someone you knew personally for a direct act of cruelty: cause and effect and hopefully he learned. Trial by Internet is not so clear and as I said above, disproportionate, because she'll simply be a face for much worse acts. And I'm sure you know there is a hell of a lot worse out there. Only the other week I saw a report with police breaking into a car at a festival. The guy left two dogs in the back and one had already died from the heat. But we'll never know who he was because there wasn't a camera conveniently catching him in the act.

This woman did something stupid that she thought she would get away with, but instead the internet found out and she has now been humilated worldwide, with thousands of people she doesn't even know voicing their opinions of how horrible she is. This alone is often a better punishment than any fine ever could be.

Large internet death threat pages for small reason are very different to suicides related to online bullying. In fact I hardly even see how the two are related.
As I said, I doubt anyone is taking those threats seriously, it's just something people do. It's a way of expressing anger for thousands of people who can't actually do anything at all about a situation.

Are you talking about the videos in this post (http://www.dvdcollectorsonline.com/index.php/topic,488.msg124269.html#msg124269)? I have no problem playing them. What would have the GeMA to do with this video? There is no music involved.Not exactly about this one, but about one with obviously the same content. And even this one now is only available if you log in at youtube.
Probably they blocked the other one because someone put music on it.
Fact is: GeMA sued youtube for publishing possibly copyrighted material and not paying the fees to them. Since this day more and more videos are no longer available in Germany, probably a severe case of proactive allegiance.

...So, is this cruelty?
I used to work at a vet clinic and I believe that it was considered some form of cruelty to have a pet that gets to the stage that it is obese, as it usually ends up shortening their life and the qaulity of it. That is extreme cases though, to the point where animals were very unfit and ended up hardly able to move and had no energy. Some could say it's the same for parents who overfeed their children and don't watch their diet and they become obese at a young age, causing many health problems.
The words "animal cruelty" are very hard to place in this subject though. Overfeeding your pet alone I wouldn't consider cruelty, just maybe something you should keep an eye on in the future and try to fix. As for cats I'm not totally sure, I've always had dogs. I would consider someone who overfed a dog and never walked it to be cruel, but you don't really 'walk' cats so I'm not sure how that works as far as exercise goes.

As to online bullying, I agree with Jimmy. The Internet as a community has become a lot more savvy over the past few years and so it takes very focused attacks to really hurt someone (such as kids on Facebook), whereas when I started hosting forums, people had no idea how to handle it and could be seriously affected by random comments; I know, because I had to deal with a couple of panicked users. That's strictly for users who share the Internet and have grown to understand how it works, but it still has the power to easily intimidate. We can't excuse this level of reaction because we don't understand the person: maybe she is like us and uses the Internet daily and dismisses all the attention easily, or perhaps she doesn't even have a computer and now lives under her bed shivering in fear going insane, or maybe it doesn't matter and she is intelligent enough to understand either way. We just don't know.
Animal cruelty has always been a big deal for me. I mean, I don't even kill insects if I can help it! But bullying is an even bigger deal and I can't stomach it, even when the victim has clearly caused it.

For example, he might keep a stock of toys such as feathers on a long stick. He could entice the cat with it, and then give it to the owners explaining how fun exercise might help your cat live longer.
He might also have suggested keeping a cat journal - writing down anything the pet eats. This way on the next visit he might be able to suggest ways to slowly decrease the amount of calories in ways that your cat will not feel deprived while supplying the necessary nutrients to good health.
When his message was given in such a negative way he shut down the ability to teach or communicate and put up a wall that helps no one.
You might want to consider a permanent change of veterinarian service. In either case I would sit down a calmly write a letter to the first vet explaining how his approach impeded his message and suggest ways that he might have used that would have been more effective in helping you and your pet.

my cat is 13,.... he likes to sleep... its very hard to make a 13 year old cat run around like a kitten...
my cat has half a tin of cat food per day and a handful of biscuits... there is no way im over feeding him... I said before he has always been large... he has a large build but.
I personally do not think I have done anything cruel to my cat ever... well apart from accidentally nudge it a few times when it sleeps on the end of my bed.
...its not like I even treat my cat like a human... it only eats tinned cat food.... mind you, the fussy bugger will only eat the most expensive stuff.
...ugh! anyway... im ranting... it just angered me when he told me I was being cruel... cruelty to an animal is something entirely different in my book!

So, I took her in to be spayed and and get her shots and any other treatments. She was 9 pounds and amazing enough was completely healthy - no fleas, ear mites or worms. She then became a member of my family.
Now, with having 11 cats at the time I did keep her alone in the bedroom until everyone got used to the sounds and smells. After a few weeks she was part of the pack and everyone (including the new kitten) gets along wonderfully.
I only feed my cats dry food. I keep 14 bowls of food filled and let them help themselves. This was never a problem as all my cats are in fine shape and no one was overweight...until Maui.
I don't know if she is afraid of where her next meal is coming from, and so is stocking up, but this 9 pound feral cat ballooned up to 19 pounds. I am not going to change the way I feed the other cats so I have been trying to increase her exercise. She likes the laser pointer but so do the other cats so its hard to get her to really work out. She has lost 2 pounds over the last 6 months but she is still obese.
My hope is that she will come to realize that food will always be there and that she eventually eats normally. If not, then I will have one fat happy cat.
Cruel? I don't think that word applies to either you or me irregardless of what anyone else says. Your elderly pet is enjoying the good life don't you worry about what one insensitive vet said.

Basically you believe that the all the internet attention is overreacting to the situation, and I believe that you are overreacting to the internet attention. We should just leave it at that.Sorry it won't work this time... Why because I ain't overeactting at all. It's the big problem with the internet generation... If you think it's ok to publish the adress of someone, smash her house's windows, stalking her, make threats for a cat (but it can be apply to many other situations) your generation have a serious problem. Will you be happy if you read in the newspapers that someone kill her? The internet generation had a lot of difficulties to understand that when they wrote on the web about someone this person is a real human beings and not an amalgame of letters... Not that it surprise me anyway since most of them didn't learn what is respect and were never discipline by their parents. I've deal with enough of them to know how they are... to make it scarier the next batch of kids is even worst.
Maybe you should ask to Phoebe Prince (http://www.truecrimereport.com/2010/01/phoebe_prince_15_commits_suici.php), Megan Meier (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_of_Megan_Meier), Allem Halkic (http://www.smh.com.au/national/tragic-allem-puts-spotlight-on-bullying-problem-20090407-9xnx.html?page=-1) and Alex Moore (http://www.cyberbullyingnews.com/2010/05/alex-moore-suicide-alabama-teen-bullying-victim-jumps-to-death/) if internet harassment is just a joke and had no meaning... Oh, sorry you can't ask it to any of them since they all kill themselves because of internet harassment...
I don't overreact, but if overreacting is caring about other human beings I'm more than happy to get that label.

Emma, I forgot to tell you about my one cat Maui. She was a feral cat that that roamed the neighborhood. I think someone dumped her because anytime she saw me she would jump in my arms. Of course I had been feeding her but even from the beginning she let me pet her.
So, I took her in to be spayed and and get her shots and any other treatments. She was 9 pounds and amazing enough was completely healthy - no fleas, ear mites or worms. She then became a member of my family.
Now, with having 11 cats at the time I did keep her alone in the bedroom until everyone got used to the sounds and smells. After a few weeks she was part of the pack and everyone (including the new kitten) gets along wonderfully.

I agree Kathy... I weighed my cat... hes around 15 pounds.
Ive tried everything to make him exercise... He used to love to chase string so id run around the house with a piece of string... he just watches me doit now lol.... and he also used to love it when I threw little toy mice at him and he would catch them... but alas he doesn't wanna do that any more... Hes a happy cat there is no denying that... and, if hes happy.... does it really matter?
I mean.... Id rather die happy and fat then sad and skinny lol ;)

But, this woman actually acted out on her psychologically sick urges. The type of psychotic behavior this woman exhibited makes me believe that she has done much worse things in the past. Almost without exception this is a pattern of behavior that escalates and one can only imagine what she has done before without getting caught.
There is not excuse for what happened to the people who you listed but no one has to be connected to the internet and listen to the rantings of others. Bullying, harassment and suicide are all too common occurrences even outside of the internet world. Strict parental supervision on internet usage might have prevented someone from committing suicide but not necessarily.
There are much deeper issues in those types of situations. Suicide is all too common a solution for many and has nothing to do with internet harassment. And, not to make these deaths seem less devastating than they are, the numbers of deaths related to internet use is minuscule if taken in context.
Finally, and my last public point on this topic (I will communicate via pm if anyone wishes), is I hope that this woman gets long term psychiatric help. She has demonstrated through her actions that she needs it.

I will not be returning to that vet.... My cat is not severely overweight... according to there chart it is 1.5 pounds over weight... ok thats alot for a small animal... but
my cat is 13,.... he likes to sleep... its very hard to make a 13 year old cat run around like a kitten...
my cat has half a tin of cat food per day and a handful of biscuits... there is no way im over feeding him... I said before he has always been large... he has a large build but.
I personally do not think I have done anything cruel to my cat ever... well apart from accidentally nudge it a few times when it sleeps on the end of my bed.

...ugh! anyway... im ranting... it just angered me when he told me I was being cruel... cruelty to an animal is something entirely different in my book!
:laugh:
After reading this I have no doubt that your vet overreacted. Sure it's bad to have a pet that is overweight if it's a kitten or a young cat, but 13 years old! Everyone knows that old animals are just like old humans. They like to spend their days just resting and sleeping the days away.
My dog himself is about 15 years old and I swear he sometimes sleeps 20 of the 24 hours in a day. I do manage to take him for one or sometimes two walks most days but the fact is that it's just hard to get old animals to exercise a lot, in the same way it's hard to get elderly people to.
After hearing that I think it's good you switched vets, old animals often get a little chubby in their later years. I think it would only be considered 'cruel' as such if you had a very obese kitten, or young cat.

Another video has surfaced on the net of a young girl throwing 9 puppies into a river, while they scream and whimper. I have heard that 4chan is already on the job to reveal her identity. I really hope they find her. There doesn't seem to be any way of tracking her down in the video, if she gets away with it it would be awful.OMG
That was even more terrible than the one with the cat.
How perverted does one have to be to do such things??
This obviously wasn't even filmed by a hidden camera, the girl was fully aware of being filmed.

When I watched the video I was sure something like that would have to be fake, but I saw the little puppies legs moving around, and heard their little cries and sqeuals as she threw them one by one into the river. It's hard to fake somehting like that. And she knew she was being filmed. Problem is you don't see her face, and the river is pretty much just an average looking river. It's going to be hard to track her down with such minimal footage and information.

I'm sorry Jimmy, I was under the impression that we were allowed to speak about general topics here, as well as subjects of film and DVD's. I will never post about anything aside from DVD's again.OK I restart maybe I was too extreme... Of course it's the general section, so it's ok to talk about almost everything but...
The name of this topic is YouTube Find ;) wich implies 3 facts :
1. It's from YouTube;
2. it's a video;
3. it's a fun thing.
Your post doesn't have any of those that's all.
But if you want to open a thread about all the bad things that happen to the animals feel free to do so. At least it won't be off-topic and I won't have to read about it.
See I ain't that bad, I just react too fast without thinking too much sometimes :capito:

I was merely continuing on with a conversation that had already started. If you remember, I wasn't even the one who posted the video about the woman who put the cat in the bin, but it generated almost an entire page worth of interest and conversation surrounding it. I was merely contributing to that conversation becuase it generated so much interest from many of the members. And since when was it a requirment that the videos had to be 'fun'? Are we not allowed to have a serious conversation here anymore?

Being on-topic isn't an imaginary rule of mine it's a normal one on every forum on the web...
Like I said feel free to open an "animal cruelty" thread if you want to and post every case you want there. I really don't see the problem at all...

From the looks of that trailer, it appears to be a pretty close remake of the original. Cogburn with the stirrups in his mouth as he shoots both pistols, Mattie falling into the hole with the rattlesnakes.

Time traveler....? Utterly ridiculous. :laugh: The time travel would have to happen around now, since the alleged mobile phone is of rather large dimensions (appears bigger than my iPhone). Or am I to expect mobile phone still to be of that large size in 20 years from now? Then it's that fact that it's an old lady; yeah, right. Time travel is invented and they send an old lady (or a cross dresser...?) to try it out. If it is much further in the future and time travel is common place, see my point one.
Sure, no hard evidence on my side, I'll admit that :laugh:

Simply because I wouldn't know if sending someone back in time might affect the personal age too. If this would happen and you sent someone of the age of 30 back 60 years in time there might be nothing left to get back. :laugh: :hysterical:

His reactions are just great. From the very start where he says 'uh-oh' and tries to put it out with water, until the end where he just goes outside and watches it burn. At least he can have a laugh out of it though and not have one of those panic attacks the kids have these days if someone turns off their xbox or does something to a WoW account.

I watched my uncle dealing with my aunt suffering with Alzheimer's. It was heartbreaking. Sometimes I think it would have been much easier for him if she had passed with a heart attack at the beginning, but he never gave up on her, even after she was clueless about who he was. Very sad.

I can't even begin to imagine what going through something like that must be like...
I have to say I found this very false. It's BBC's annual Children In Need on Friday and they show excellent vignettes of real people. It's a harsh and cruel life that some have to follow and when you see what some kids deal with, it's heartbreaking. I don't mean to undermine that film as it is very good. Just something stops me being convinced whereas I expect to feel very small and humbled on Friday.
I haven't had to deal with Alzheimer's, but my mum has a condition called Essential Tremor. Without medication she shakes uncontrollably when trying to do anything and with it, her personality switches and her short term memory is useless. It's very tough to deal with, though ironically the more she relies on me, the more relaxed I am.
Dealing with any medical condition is tough, but anything that robs the sufferer of their core personality is especially cruel. I really don't know how I'd cope with Alzheimer's, which is just an inevitable decline.

I liked the LITERALized one.

I haven't liked Nick Cage in anything but Kick-Ass. Before I saw it I was almost dreading having to see a film with the "NOT THE BEE'S" guy in it, so I was quite pleasantly surprised when he did such a great job.

The people who claim video games make people violent should do some research. In Queenslands 'Mana Bar' which is a nightclub/ gaming bar where friends can drink and game at the same time there has not been one violent case since the bar opened. And no disorderly drunken behaviour. This is coming from a place where violent video games are mixed with alcohol. Yet all around them other bars and nightclubs are fueled with drunken bar fights every night... and they think gaming is the source of this? ::).

These type of news stories really bother me. Sure some people are addicted to gaming, especially to the likes of COD or WoW. But even more people aren't and just play it casually.

I must admit (and this is embarrassing) but when I was younger I had gaming-rage. And by young I mean 10 or 11 when I played my Gameboy Colour for hours on end. I used to get really frustrated during some Pokemon battles that I would actually bite the corner of the Gameboy. To this day I can still see teeth mark on the corner. Luckily I grew out of gamer rage and discovered that no matter how frustrated I get in a game, the best thing for me is to just put it down, walk away and try it again the next day, or even in a few hours.

I have to admit - I don't understand why anyone gets upset over a game.
As a long-time gamer... well pretty much my whole life so far from about 7 years old and up, I can certainly understand how people can get so angry over a game. I can also understand how people get so absorbed with games such as WoW and how some people, the extreme cases all but lose themselves to it. At the same time though I don't let game frustration etc affect me anymore at all. I discovered ways to deal with it and now I can just enjoy the games and laugh it off when I die 30 times on the same level which is something that would have used to make me very angry.

A near perfect demo of exactly why I think musicals are rubbish... :devil: Yes, it looks pretty, but the opening moments are awful! And it's animated! Good grief. :yucky:
By the way, absolutely agree with the sports star thing. Absurd use of the word "hero", now as overused as "genius".
Now now Jon, what you mean is that's a perfect example of exactly why musicals are awesome. By the way when I posted that it was 2 in the morning and I had spent about an hour watching Disney song videos on youtube haha. All these years and they still effect me as much as they did when I grew up watching those movies every day. Amazing stuff.
I'm glad you agree with me on the hero thing, it drives me crazy sometimes. Especially living in Australia. This country seems to be obsessed with sports and "sporting stars" to a point that is way over the top. Every night almost we have some football star on the news making a drunken idiot of themselves, and most of them prove to be pretty useless at anything buy football, yet these seem to be the people we want the children of the nation to look up to. :slaphead:

I know the original for many, many years already. heck, I knew it before I properly liked music :headslap: It always had "that certain something".
Nina Simone is awesome. She had that hit in Germany many years ago (in the 80's or early 90's...?), which I kinda liked. Then the remake of The Thomas Crown Affair used her song Sinnerman, which prompted me to buy a Best Of collection. Great stuff.

Now let's get Christmassy. Here in the UK, we do seem to get some excellent adverts. We still get mostly terrible ones, but at this time of year the specials start rolling out...
John Lewis (department store) really manage to capture the meaning of Christmas. Here's last years:
And this years:
Marks and Spencer's (also a department store) always have high profile ads with a mix of regular models and guest celebs, led by Twiggy. Their Chrimbo one this year features Peter Kay. ;D But my fave bit is... oooh, about 35 seconds in... :whistle:

I love that Marks and Spencer ad Jon! Especially Twiggy. I'm actually surprised you like it, since it's basically a homage to many musicals. I saw a bit of Chicago in there amongst others. Not to mention music video tributes to the likes of Beyonce, Madonna and Britney Spears. Hell the whole ad was kind of like watching an episode of Glee, but handled very well. :thumbup:
Hey, I like musical performances, just not in the context of using them to tell a story! Plus, it's just a very happy advert. Do a search on YouTube and you'll find loads more from M&S, I'm sure.
Twiggy has been doing them for a couple of years and it used to be a selection of regular models, including the phenomenal Noémie Lenoir (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No%C3%A9mie_Lenoir). Sadly, she attempted suicide and so I haven't seen her since. That seems to be about the time more celebs came in. In this one, aside from Peter Kay who is one of our very best stand-up comedians, there is Danni Minogue (no you can't have her back. She's ours now! :P) and VV Brown. She's a fascinating singer who never quite made the big-time, so I'm glad she's keeping her profile up.
Post by: Critter on December 19, 2010, 01:37:35 AM
If it wasn't for them being so popular in the UK they would have stopped being made years ago as no Australians watch them :laugh:.

Oh well, at least we can agree that both Aus and UK soap operas, while basically crap are still a whole lot better than any US ones haha. I can't even watch a minute of The Bold and the Beautiful and keep a straight face. It's like they just make them to be laughed at.
Post by: Najemikon on December 19, 2010, 03:18:01 AM
Soaps are weird. I don't watch "Corrie" but I do see a lot of Emmerdale because my mum likes it. Basic acting and writing are excellent, but a lot of the time it's mundane crap while they have to balance a lot of characters and trying to be real. Actors can frequently be seen being lazy because 80% of their time is just being there. Then a big storyline happens and it's better, but not remotely real! :shrug: Sometimes they get it perfect; a recent storyline in Emmerdale had this young thug admitting he was gay. The lad who plays him gave a truly brilliant performance. Jaw dropping stuff. Then in the same episode you get some guff about a missing dog or some such nonsense. :laugh:
I think people latch on to ours so strongly because in the strongest moments, they have a connection with someone going through an ordeal they can relate to. As soon as they get sensationalist it's usually junk. Although a recent kidnapping and torture story was fun.

Nice to see the Doctor has got her some recognition outside the UK.
She's awesome! I love her mezzo-soprano voice. So smooth and melodic. And the fact her shows are quite theatrical just adds icing on the cake!
Only little complaint about her voice is that she needs to work on her voice projection. She has tonality, control, etc. But projection (loudness if you prefer) is lacking sometimes, depending on the song.
But other than that :thumbup:

I think I just found my favourite game reviewer! No technical shenanigans, no comparing this and that console, no bitching about graphics quality or whatnot.You discovered Mark from Classic Game Room...? I have been following his reviews for quite some time now. One or two games I bought because of him.
Be careful though, I finds good things in almost every game and his reviews can tend to sound very enthusiastic, even though other reviewers might agree the game is not so good. Just watch a bunch (which you apparently did already) and measure his taste against yours first.
95% of the time I just love that 5-10s bit he chooses to place within the opening titles.

I find I usually like the first 3-4 minutes of his review. That's where he says pretty much everything he has to say. I do find him a bit overenthusiastic, but I like it that way. I'm easy to please too, so.. ;)

Have you guys ever seen Zero Punctuation? He's quite rude, very rarely likes any games well enough to recommend them, but can be very funny and the videos have a style about them. I think he liked Minecraft... :laugh:
Yeah, I like him too but ... he speaks way too fast for me! Half the time, I don't understand a word he's saying :bag:

cool, I personally prefer gamersbeware's vids for 3 reasons, in case your interested. :D
1) as you stated, he just goes over the 1 question of it being fun
2) its not only a review but also a walkthrough if you want to see how its done, see certain parts ahead of time, see the action before you buy, etc
3) he always makes it funny! the best demo of this, I believe, is "Let's Co-Op Play: Nicktoons Unite!" where he teams up playing with a friend and there's arguments, interruptions, it's live play time. something goes wrong and its just plain funny. Just like you and a bud play video games for the night. I remember one piece of diolgue between him and his friend.

I am subscribed to the Machinima channel on YouTube and occasionally enjoy watching commentary videos as well. They can be very funny at times, depending who is doing them (I'll look up gamersbeware, Brittany) or inspirational to try new things in a game you have already been playing.

On the other hand it's now a nerd-fest to find Jesse Heiman, which may either kill or promote his career, you never know with Hollywood.

No. I don't think so. As far as I know, Edward Norton would have liked to continue the role, but the studio didn't ask him back (I think the reason for this was never fully disclosed).

Not at all! I don't think anyone knows the full story, but the summary is he somehow pissed off the producers while making The Incredible Hulk. He'd pushed for the role in the first place after being a lifelong fan, if I remember correctly, so I think he made several demands on the direction the film was taking and producers don't like trouble-makers. Just ask Orson Welles. I don't know if Norton was displaying Welles level of genius or was just being a prick, but either way he somehow shit in his own bed. This is what was said at the time:
http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/breaking-news/edward-norton-ditched-from-the-avengers-film-as-producers-criticise-actors-talent/story-e6freuyi-1225890756651
All things being equal, I thought The Incredible Hulk was a big missed opportunity and Norton himself wasn't memorable as Banner. I preferred Eric Bana in the "don't make me Ang Lee" version (damn, I'm getting some mileage out of that pun! :laugh:), but I think Mark Ruffalo is an excellent choice.
I saw the trailer the other day and thought it was awesome. There's a chance this could be special, with Joss Whedon at the helm.

But you're not an average comic fan though, are you? I remember when I said of Kick Ass that it should be counted amongst the best of the sub-genre along with Superman and Dark Knight, you questioned that because they were "boring". I have a funny feeling that The Avengers will not be disputing that view! :laugh:
Post by: goodguy on October 14, 2011, 03:53:47 AM
But you're not an average comic fan though, are you?
Well, my Scarlett comment was pretty average, wasn't it? :laugh: But the Avengers don't strike me as particularly interesting material (I didn't even bother with Thor and Captain America) and while I won't completely count out Joss Whedon just yet, being some sort of genius doesn't always prevent you from producing crap. Just look at Matthew Vaughn's recent X-Men. Sure, it wasn't completely stupefying, but do we have to set the bar that low just because it's comics?
Post by: Najemikon on October 14, 2011, 10:04:34 PM
...but do we have to set the bar that low just because it's comics?
Absolutely not, but I think we might be expecting different things. I've always been more of a fan of British comics and find American stuff rather lazy. What the films do, when they get it right, is effectively become like a Greatest Hits edition of a particular story and distil the characters down into their most defined parts from the comics. Therefore they are like catnip to the fans, but if they misjudge the tone even slightly it collapses.
As way of example, I think the Batman character is a very fine creation, but I haven't bothered attempting to keep up with the comics because of the ridiculous amount of crap in between the good stuff. Christopher Nolan took all the pathos and style developed over decades and wrapped it up wonderfully in Batman Begins. The Dark Knight, by introducing such a superb realisation of The Joker, became a new kind of awesome and is quite simply a perfect realisation of who and what Batman is. By creating what will surely be a trilogy, Nolan has also escaped the predictable pulp-fiction style of a weekly cliffhanger story that can diffuse much of a comics potential.
But you called it boring. :tease:
So you see my problem. The Dark Knight could not have been better and in terms of making it the way they did, the bar was set very high. You're just not going to get what you are looking for.
It's telling you cite the new X-Men film as an example. I haven't seen it yet, but from what I hear, the story is not considered canon so the fans haven't been blown away and newbies to the stories haven't been given anything to get in a lather about. It kind of plays fast and loose with realising a 'what if' else-world. Meanwhile, X-Men 2 is one of the best comic book movies ever because it realised one of the classic storylines and followed a narrative inspired by The Empire Strikes Back. Again, that's a very high bar indeed.
Though I would assume Empire is not in your top five films of all time like it is mine? :laugh:
Considering X-Men again, of course, Matthew Vaughan is responsible for the incredible Kick Ass, except that is a very different kind of film not least because it deals with characters that are designed to be parodies of the classic heroes. By being a pure film (as in developed as a film, not a book) and using a narrative how it should be used, it inherently becomes a "better" film than most of those based on existing material. It can confront the basic silliness of comics without adhering to pre-conceived ideas. But oddly, the bar was set low for Kick Ass because they were dealing with something truly fresh.
Most of the Marvel stuff is completed in pre-production. They just have to film it. So in that sense, they approach the franchise in the same ways of regular issues and without the Nolan touch of a defined arc, there's a sense they will keep churning this stuff out until it implodes. I commented in my Kick Ass review that Iron Man 2 was going to have it hard, but I was wrong because to some degree they were making Iron Man 2 as a shot to nothing. There will be a 3 and 4 and 5 until it misses, I'm sure. They aren't that bothered about defining anything like Nolan's films was.
So that bar is low. Avengers though, has to have a higher bar because of the very nature of the story. Ensemble's can be very hard to get right which is why I have such hopes for Whedon's approach. Don't think it will be a particularly surprising film, but it will be exciting, well made catnip! Bring it on.
I think finally that we also have different ideas about how the story plays out. I love a well structured narrative and characters that reflect an arc. Have you ever seen Kill Bill 2? I know, I know... but Bill's speech at the end of the film, where he describes the essence of who is Superman/Clark Kent is a perfect example of where I'm coming from. I love that kind of stuff. The Superman movie is another perfect comic book film, but there is still potential to be had if they consider the ideas of his identity and whether he is a man or a god.

When it comes to the Muppets I...well....it is hard for me to explain, but I get emotional about them at times. A few months ago I think it was, I saw a clip from the Disney expo thing..D3 or whatever they call it - sort of like Comic-Con for Disney I guess. Anyway, there was a lot of Muppet stuff, including some kind of tribute to Jim Henson. Brian Henson did a live performance...and Kermit sang Rainbow Connection live. That got me really emotional...I still don't fully know why. Maybe part of it is because I watched The Muppet Show with my grandma at times. I won't be surprised if something about this new movie makes me cry a little. I'm not logical when it comes to the Muppets I guess.

Due to a recent review at redlettermedia.com (http://redlettermedia.com/half-in-the-bag/robot-and-the-last-circus/) of the Kollywood movie "Endhiran" (English title: "Robot"), which they surprisingly enjoyed, I have ordered that movie and it's on the way.

Darn, looks like another I need to get.
Just checked and the e-tailer I have used before, Bollyman (http://www.bollyman.com/), has Blu's of Endhiran Robo in Telugu with English subs at £17.99 or Robot in Hindi with English subs at £18.99. :hmmmm: Which one to go for?

The original language of this movie is Tamil! It's a Kollywood (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamil_cinema) movie.
A Telugu and a Hindi dub exists also. Just a heads up!
I have the DVD release with Tamil language track and English subtitles available on amazon.co.uk marketplace.

This was funny as well. Here in the UK, we have two big shows related to business. Our version of The Apprentice, with Alan Sugar (far better than the US Trump edition!), and Dragons' Den. That's a show where individuals pitch to five multi-millionaires, seeking investment in their product. It's a great show. Well, for Children In Need, they had Alan Sugar pitch to the Dragons and it was very funny if you know both shows. Lord Sugar is famous for his old fashioned common sense and not suffering fools, so his opening line is just spot on! Especially when you consider why it's called "Dragons' Den". The people looking for investment are usually very nervous and have to know their own business absolutely inside out.

I found it too confusing to even attempt a review, albeit, I don't men that entirely negative. It had elements of Stange Days in its story as well as some other movies.
As per Achim I have seen this, in fact it is one of my many double dips, but that was before I became a member here and doing reviews. Yes it is slightly confusing and I would have probably given it a 3
.

But for "Songwriting" a minimum of musicality is required.
So (and I admit that I'm quite alone on this position): Poet? Yes! - Songwriter? No!
She had something to say and she chose to say it by (musically quite basic) songs.
Probably because the last time you were able to reach a larger audience with poetry alone, was in the late 19th century.
This is coming from someone who wasn't born until 1965.
My musical awareness started somewhere around the mid 70's and I wouldn't have recognized quality in music until the late 70's.
So don't take my opinion too serious.
The quality of a song is mostly a personal thing. And this explicitly includes the personal context in which the song was heard. One of my favourite Christmas albums for example is "Manfred Mann's Earthband: Somewhere in Africa". It's definitely not a Christmas album, but I first heard it in December 1983 and didn't take it of the turntable until January 84.

Apparently I'm living under a rock, so I just discovered this. I really love the first one and the second one is great fun.
Yeah, I like her too, but thought that her performance on Jools Holland's Later was pretty dire. It got some good reviews though, so I thought it was me. Then came SNL. Ohhhhhh dear. :bag:
Still, excellent recording voice and I like her style.
Meanwhile, I've just discovered The Pierces. Like the old fashioned vibe and had a couple of their albums queued up on Spotify (thanks to Virgin Media, I have a free 6 month Premium subscription to it :P ):

Because i love the classics ;D
When you go to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, they have a kiosk with a TV that plays this in a perpetual loop. When it restarts, a couple of people will stop and watch, then a few more, then after seeing a small group laughing hysterically, a small crowd forms. By the end, everyone who is watching is almost in tears, then it ends, and the crowd moves on. Then the cycle starts again.
If an alien race came to our planet and asked us what comedy was, I'd point them to this skit, because it it the most perfect comedy sketch ever written.

Since it's French/German I'll explain the content shortly: The chef (Funès) explains to his German customer (Herr Müller) the recipe.
1kg Kartoffeln, 1L Milch, 3 Eier, 90g Butter, Salz und Muskatnuss. MUSKATNUSS, HERR MÜLLER! Haben Sie verstanden, Herr Müller?
1kg potatoes, 1L milk, 3 eggs, 90g butter, salt and nutmeg. NUTMEG, MR. MÜLLER! Do you understand, Mr. Müller?

There is a really cute (deaf) girl in the second row, but sadly in this Youtube clip you can hardly recognize her because of the low quality.

A supermarket in the UK has been running a cracking campaign. They have normal people talking about their favourite competing brands of a particular product, but with a twist. They're very brief, but so low-key they can be hilarious.
This is the first one I saw:
Then I particularly liked these:

My family has been going shopping to Aldi for as long as I can remember. Those Aldi non-brands are famously mostly actual brand items simnply packaged in generic packaging. And during their sales they pretty much sell anything they can grab cheap, incl. computers, navigation devices etc.

And we learn why the Americans prefer to do remakes instead of dubbing. The lip-synchronization is a catastrophe.You might be joking, but let me point out that the audio was actually from another movie, incl. a few shots of the papers in people's hands and the killer with the hook. That other movie is I know what you did last summer.

I saw the trailer at the theater when seeing 'The Hobit'. I thought it was a good one to see. Seemed humorous and a completely new slant on the zombie thing. Some wont like it because it isn't 'purist' but it should be a fun watch.The idea in general is not quite that new. There is Fido, which deals with domesticating zombies, and Wasting Away, which is a story told from the point of view of the zombies... Their style is very different, bhey are both fun to watch. There might be others.

It's basically two guys (Alex from Germany and Jim from the US) talking about all kinds of topics and how they are different in these two countries.
Not everything Alex says matches with my experiences but they never claim to be objective, they just talk from their points of views and I've enjoyed many of their videos.
Here's their newest one which coincidentally brings up the topic I teased Pete a week ago: Banking (haven't watched it myself yet)
And these three videos were an interesting break from their usual routine because Alex just walked down the street, made a video and let Jim guess why he took a certain picture:

I played drums in college. That song is a workout on your wrists and arms if you aren't limbered up.

I don't like the title of the clip, though. It makes the uploader sound like a jerk.

For those who are sick and tired of the movie Frozen and the "Let it Go" soundtrack (*raises hand several times*) here is a nice change of pace...

Wow. Quick thinking and so smooth about it. (He didn't have to give them anything at all, but quickly thought to do that.)

The last sentence had me literally rolling on the floor laughing.

It went viral and sparked a stupid number of parodies. The purpose was an experiment to see how 20 people who had never met would interact, especially knowing they were being recorded. It later received a lot of flack after it was learned that most of the people in the video were already actors. This meant that even though the kisses were impromptu, everyone was already comfortable being on camera with a crew around watching.
But then, this week a different guy released THIS video of 40 people (all friends of his, but only a minimal number of them actors and 4 or 6 with a connection to each other already) slapping each other. Some had never been slapped or never slapped another person before, and it was interesting how a rapport is formed between them as things continued.
I found this one to be a LOT more fun.

In this clip the French guest asks the Chef (Louis) to give the recipe to his German colleague Dr. Müller.
Louis then switches from French to German and just lists the ingredients. Watch:

The following video is called "Staplerfahrer Klaus" ("forklift driver Klaus").
It's a mocking of the 80's security instruction video for industry workplaces.
It starts out as boring as the original videos but quickly goes someplace else.
The video is in German but it contains English subs.
Enjoy :)
