Robot Chicken - Gummy Bear

I saw this on Popoholic the other day and it cracked me up silly. The guys at RC are the best and this short stars the voice of one Michelle Trachtenberg. MT played Dawn on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, my favorite show. Kudos to Michelle, that’s the funniest scream ever!


Raccoon Steals Carpet

For today’s Monday video, I thought I’d share this funny little number about a raccoon who is really serious about renovating his TV room.

Colbie Caillat - ‘Bubbly’ Video

Looks like I found something good right when it’s starting to break. I heard this song the other day and now have the video for you all to enjoy.

Colbie Caillat is out with the video to her debut single ‘Bubbly’, from the album ‘Coco’, out July 17th. Watch it below:

Jeremy Fisher - Cigarette & Other News

I’ve really been out of it the last two weeks. My posting here has really dropped off to almost nothing. It isn’t that nothing has been going on, just not a lot that’s significant. I’d like to get back to a few more personal entries so this doesn’t feel like a job, just putting up articles only about other stuff I’m into.

Anyway, I may be getting the new Dragon 9 voice-recognition software this week. That could make more posts easier (I’m not large with the typing). I have some eBay business to handle today, but I hope to get to putting up some articles about the Celtic Fling I went to over the weekend in Mount Hope. It was great, as always, and I have video, pictures and music to share.

In the meantime, how about some good music video right now? Here’s Jeremy Fisher’s “Cigarette”, released some months back. I really liked the song (reminiscent of one of my fave bands, Fountain of Wayne).

Lip Dub - Flagpole Sitta

Do you have fun at your job? Probably not as much as these people. A company called Connected Ventures, a group of friends who work for Vimeo, CollegeHumor, Busted Tees, and Defunker, is evidently where people dance around and drink soda and make music videos.

This does look like a lot of fun and the song is great, too! (Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger)

30 Days of Night Trailer

What is it with all these movies coming out of which I have heard nothing? Here’s another intriguing trailer for a film which looks like a cross between John Carpenter’s The Thing and his Assault on Precinct 13 films. It’s produced by the great Sam Raimi and looks pretty damn cool.

30 Days of Night is a vampire movie set in an arctic town where the daylight sun has become clouded over and the sharp and fangies come out to play.

New Shoot ‘Em Up Trailer

Here’s the brand new trailer for Shoot ‘Em Up, starring Clive Owen, Monica Bellucci, and a crazed Paul Giamatti. I’ve never even heard of this movie until today and it looks like a blast.

Clive Owen is The Man, but Giamatti looks like he could steal the film.

Paying for bullets with food stamps… awesome.

YouTube: LisaNova is Awesome

P1012599_1.JPG

Okay, so I’ve been watching tons of videos over on YouTube since last Fall and have subscribed to a number of channels that I find entertaining there, for whatever reason.

Admittedly, I’ve also developed some pretty big crushes on the various girl-vloggers there. One of my favorites is LisaNova, who is known in real life as Lisa Donavan. She’s smart, funny and beautiful. After being featured on YT for some time and building up one of the Top 20 most subscribed channels, Lisa has also recently begun appearing on the sketch show MadTV.

Thought I’d share a recent video she did lampooning the ongoing debates between the presidential campaigns of Hilary Clinton and Barak Obama. Pretty smart - and indicative of how great Lisa’s videos are.

Top Secret First Look at ‘John Rambo’

This clip was sent by none other than Stallone himself out to a few media outlets and Aint It Cool News, who are under agreement to only show it for next 48 hours.

However I am posting it here in all it’s glory to give you lot the very first look at the new Rambo film, “John Rambo”. I posted just days ago the first pics of the film and the outline of it’s plot.

Now get a full-sized trailer view of the royal beat-down Stallone is going to give action fans in his final send-off of his other great, mythical character.


Hitchens on the Death of Falwell

I pretty much skipped over the various eulogies and observations on the recent death of Jerry Falwell. I really couldn’t care much less.

But this video clip is absolutely amazing and yet more evidence that Christopher Hitchens may be the single greatest person alive today. Seriously, the man has my vote.

It’s rare that I read something or hear anyone speak and then can honestly say that I agree with everything they say. Yet I do agree with everything Hitchens says in this clip from CNN. And I mean every syllable.

It’s just awesome - and refreshing:
