While this technically came out in 2010, needed an excuse to test the new YouTube embed. Should play HTML5 video now if your system supports it and you have opted in, otherwise it will still use Flash when needed.

This was something I came across recently, "Literal" trailers. The one for Tron and the recent WoW expansion are pretty amusing.

I LOVE the literal trailers. I have them saved to "watch later" on Boxee, and I've shown the Tron trailer with at least 12 people smile

A loong time ago I mentioned my lack of success at finding a funny video from the 80's that aired on a local oddball cable program.

I should go buy a lottery ticket, because today is a lucky day!
Calling Captain Kirk by Electronic Voice Phenomenon

I happy me so much!

Words can't really describe the action scenes from this Indian movie (apparently the most expensive they've ever made):

A pretty small nit to pick... but did you notice at 5:55 that the augur is turning the wrong direction to drill into the earth? smile

FWIW, that's the second of two Endhiran clips making the rounds.

The first:


If anyone's interested in watching a few video interviews with the VFX supervisor, I can post links.

After the first 10 or 15 seconds of any given fight scene I have a hard time believing that anyone would willingly continue to attack him/it.

I caught that too! I love that it's even used in foreign cinema. That's really cool.

This is a bit of a silly video but this kid actually seems to have some talent. In addition to rapping he also does spoken word poetry:



The video to his latest single is pretty funny too:

Ever since that Gears of War trailer with Gary Jules's version of "Mad World," video game companies have been doing the "sad trailer" thing. This one was actually pretty damned effective to me. My only problem with that is I'm sure the game won't have that effect on me, and I wish there were more games that did:

Microsoft OS upgrades over the ages. Starts with MS DOS 5.0, and ends with Windows 7, with a ton of windows versions in-between.

That wasn't very much "like it was". Where was the 12 reinstalls of win 3.1 required every year to keep it going? Can't speak in terms of years if it was all done in a day. Also, he ignored win ME. For most gamer types, the path was win 3.1, win ME, then win XP.

He should have ignored Windows ME. It was shit. For me, it was Windows 3.11, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, then Windows XP.

Actually, that was almost a complete lie. For gaming (i.e. dual boot), that holds up.

Actually, it was Windows 1.01, Windows 2.0, Windows 3.0 (first one I programmed for), Windows 3.11, Windows NT 3.51 / Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0 / Windows 98 / Windows 98 SE, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista (which I actually liked) and then Windows 7.

I think I went: DOS 5.0, Win 3.11, Win 95, Win 98, Win 98SE, Win 2000, Win XP, Win 7 (my favorite so far).

Windows 2000 was one of my favorites once it started supporting games and essentially becoming just as much of a consumer OS as their other products. I always found it funny how much better it was than ME. My parents "upgraded" to ME (I think they just happened to buy a new computer for that short time it was out - what luck). I was soon able to get them upgraded to XP, thank goodness.

This would be closer to what most folks did, with the exception of 2000. I found all the versions of win up to 3.11 unusable, where 3.11 was the first somewhat usable one.

2000 is still my favorite.

My memory is somewhat fuzzy on this, but I think the sequence here was CP/M, PCDOS 3.3, MSDOS 5.0, QNX, OS/2, Linux, Linux, Linux, Linux, Linux, Linux, Linux.

Kind missed out on that whole virus treadmill thing. wink

For me it was Windows 3.1 -> Specialized Stumpjumper M2 -> Linux. smile

Oh yes! I forgot to include the Specialized bike in there (not a hardtail, though).

That guy must be some sort of masochist, installing just one Microsoft operating system is a tedious enough task, but all of those....

Then again maybe he's a sadist as I just sat through it all!

Neat! I have a Stumpjumper, though I'm almost embarrassed to own it as I've never even given it a shred of the riding it's capable of. I have no ideal what model of Specialized Stumpjumper I have (I didn't know there were models). I must have gotten it 18 years ago now...
