100 Scariest Movie Scenes

The 100 scariest movie scenes of all time, according to RetroCrush (a very fun blog)... There can be no doubt which one is #1, even after all this time (if you think about this scene at the time it was made, its even more amazing)...

YouTube Begins Its Descent...

Now, I'm a huge fan of YouTube... Not because they do anything special, but because you can find just about anything you want there... Now that it's been bought by "The Google" (as our President would say), things are starting to go downhill... I think media companies now see a huge wallet attached and are going to pull down a lot more videos of make Google pay for them... This is really interesting because YouTube actually succeeded by doing things the wrong way... There are tons of companies out there who have the same or better technology... The reason YouTube got big was because they let people post anything (copywrited stuff, etc), which gave them better content than the guys who did it the right way (protected content that has copywrites)... So, now Comedy Central has pulled down all their clips... Colbert, Jon Stewart, etc... Bye bye...

I'm on Vacation!

To my loyal (and not so loyal) readers, I'm off to Paree until the 28th, so until then, enjoy yourselves (and look at the links in the right column to keep you busy til I get back)...

Songs by Spock!

I know you're all big trekkies out there... Some of you may even have bought Captain Kirk's albums... But did you know Leonard Nimoy had his own musical career? Here's a great site dedicated to his music...

Slingbox lets Bears fans watch the game...

I don't know if you know what Slingbox is, but its basically a box you connect to your TV/Tivo and it lets you watch your TV over the Internet... Well, the founder is a Cal grad and when he found out the Cal/Wash St game wasnt televised in the Bay Area, he stepped in to help... With a Slingbox, he took the Washington State feed for the game and transmitted it over the Internet to the Cal stadium, where 3000 fans got to watch the game... Cool use of tech...

That's my kind of hotel!

Here's a great hotel in Thailand... It advertises "The Honeymoon Deluxe rooms are located on the ground floor with a connecting door and unique interior decoration. It is ideal for a family or a group of friends"... Click through and get a look at what they're talking about...

Man's Effect on the Planet...

This is a super-interesting image I found on TreeHugger (if you don't know, they're an environmental blog)... Basically, the concept is this: If humans disappears from the earth right now, how long would it take for our impacts to dissapear... Really interesting stuff...

Bubblegum Fink's Friday the 13th...

This guy has a really killer blog... And he loves to put together trading card sets for movies that never had them... Today, in honor of Friday the 13th, he put together his set of cards from that movie... Somehow, we have to get these printed... (By the way, once you click there, find the posts for the 13th... I couldn't bookmark straight to them)...

Shrimp Running on Treadmill...

I'm really not sure why I liked this video, but I did... Maybe its something about that fact that just about any animal, when put on a treadmill, will run forward... Or just cuz its a shrimp and they're funny...

Transformers Costumes - The Return!

You guys know I'm all psyched up about the new Transformers movie coming out next summer... And in that vein, I've posted all kinds of Transformers-related stuff, including transforming couches and a Transformer costume... But this guy seems to be the expert in functioning Transformers costumes... If I didnt hate dressing up for Halloween so much, I'd make one of these (well, if I didnt hate dressing up and I wasnt really lazy)...

Grindhouse Trailer - No Doubt the Greatest Movie Trailer Ever!!!

I've seen a lot of trailers in my time, but this is no doubt the best... It's for Grind House by Quintin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez and wow... Strippers, zombies, people being splattered by cars, women with machine guns for their prosthetic legs and motorcycles with machine guns mounted on the handlebars flying through the air... Bravo, Bravo...

Now this is a good anti-Bush commercial...

Who likes wrestling?

I do! I do! Well, I did... Can't say I watch it anymore, but I grew up in the era of Hulk Hogan, Jesse Ventura, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and Andre the Giant... The golden age of pro wrestling, when we all knew it was fake, but didnt have to admit it completely... But, if you want to go back to real old-school, here's some really old wrestling clips...

Album Cover Warfare!

These guys did a pretty amazing job putting together a video with some great album covers interacting in unusual ways...

Do you like Reservoir Dogs?

If so, YesButNoButYes has come up with about 20 different spoof versions from YouTube... check them out....

Bush is Building Prison Camps... Believe it!

Another, very very scary example of why we need to get this psycho out of office as soon as possible.... And if we know about this one, think about all the things we dont know about...

Well, I know I'm not the only one who's waiting with baited breath for the Borat movie... Cracked has done us a great service and pulled together the 10 best Borat skits ever... #1 is really great... Borat getting drunk with a bunch of conservative southerners... By the way, while we're on this topic, I watched Ali G Indahouse this weekend on Showtime... Do yourself a favor... Don't watch it!

Perhaps the sickest food ever...

Think you've eaten some gross food? Think you've seen even grosser? I reckon to say that this concoction (a sausage with a chocolate chip pancake around it) is the sickest ever... The Junk Food Blog knows how to pick 'em...

Disneyland parking tollbooths robbed!

Who would do such a thing? Any self-respecting Disney visitor knows that those tollbooths are supposed to rob us, not vice-versa!

This guy really likes Starbucks!

OK, I think this guy is a total idiot, but he's interesting nonetheless... This guys goal is to drink a cup of coffee at every Starbuck's there is... I'm betting he's gonna die before he gets to do that because a) They are building them faster than he can get there and 2) drinking that much coffee can't be good for you...

Starbucks Maniac

I don't know who these guys are but this is funny...

I'm sure someone knows who Aaron and Nick Carter are (some kind of child stars I guess), but this leaked clip from their new show is funnnnnnny!
