I don’t have anything incisive to say about the above video, other than that I love George Carlin. The more I listen to him, the more I think he’s on my side most of the time. I wish I’d been a bit older when his short-lived sitcom was on TV. As it is, all I […]
I realize the “I’m Fucking Matt Damon” bit has become the joke that wouldn’t die, but the particular episode in this ongoing gag has some relevance to a post I just made at one of the other blogs I contribute to, about a New York Times article discussing the way that online word of mouth […]
I think this video works because it plays with the slippage between the homosocial and the homosexual. Also, it’s almost painfully funny.
The video, “I’m Fucking Ben Affleck” is a response to the “I’m Fucking Matt Damon” video that Sarah Silverman and Matt Damon did. In the response video, Jimmy Kimmel says the video is […]
In which Quentin Tarantino argues that Top Gun is a subversive queer film. I’ll buy it. Almost. Also, I’ve seen Tarantino introduce films a couple of times, and I have to say, this is roughly the tone and level of frenetic gesture that he uses to describe almost all movies. It’s kind of infectious. In […]
My friend Melanie, alerted to my love of Dolly Parton, pointed me to the above video of Beth Ditto covering Dolly Parton while dressed as Dolly Parton. The video is pretty cute, particularly as Ditto gets the crowd singing along with her. Also, I forget that homegirl can actually sing pretty decently, and the clip […]
Someone recently pointed me to the above Romeo Void video, featuring Debora Iyall, who reminds me quite a bit of Poly Styrene of X-Ray Spex, in part because she’s in your face fat, and in part because hey, her band has a saxophone in it. Iyall is a Cowlitz Indian, which is a rarity in […]
YouTube user christhrash appears to own his very own Chuck E. Cheese animatronic display, which he has in his home where he uses it to put together totally disturbing videos for popular songs. The above, “Pop Lock and Drop It” is probably my favorite, though others, like his version of “Hey there Delila” are interesting […]
So, about 5 years ago at the Aurora Picture Show, I had the good fortune of seeing a curated screening of heavy metal-related movies, including the infamous Heavy Metal Parking Lot and the magical clip above, which shows Danzig talking about his book collection. Thanks to Youtube, I can now watch this gem over and […]
Aside from the “big girls” being featured for the first 2/3 of the above video being disproportionately white, this video is pretty charming. The song is (shock) “Big Girls” and the artist is Mika. I’m sure it will join the ranks of “Baby Got Back” and “Fat Bottom Girls.”
You may be getting the impression that all I do with my free time is surf YouTube looking for videos. That would not be entirely incorrect, though I also, you know, download music and watch actual videos on my actual DVD player. Anyhow, the above is a well-executed bit of slash video featuring Jonathan Rhys […]
