If you're anything like me, you're just a little bit horrified at the possibility of Sarah Palin becoming Vice President. So was Matt Damon when he compared Palin's nomination to a bad Disney movie. The goons at CollegeHumor decided to make the nightmare into a reality.
Okay, you either hate Sarah Silverman or you love her. Personally, I fall heavily on the "love" side of that particular fence, but hey — to each his own. Anyway, this is a video promoting "The Great Schlep," and being Sarah Silverman, naturally it's topical, biting, uncomfortable, borderline offensive and maybe a little racist. Okay, a lot racist. Oh, and some of the language is quite NSFW, so make sure you're wearing headphones if you don't want to offend someone else's virgin ears!
Remember back in the '80s when NBC comedies were an unstoppable ratings juggernaut? Well, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of NBC, some of their biggest comedy stars teamed up for a rendition of to butcher the Dreamgirls tune "We Are A Family." And if that doesn't sound bizarre enough, keep in mind that these actors include people like Nell Carter and Charlotte Rae, but also Bea Arthur and Soleil Moon Frye. Oh, and Fresh Prince's Alfonso Ribero, too. It's as ridiculously cheesy as it sounds. Enjoy!
Apologies for the quality of this YouTube video, but it's the only one I could embed. This was the free single in iTunes a little while back, and it was so catchy I sampled the rest of their album and totally ended up buying it. The band is Belanova, and the song is "One, Two, Three, Go!" Having only taken high school Spanish, I can only understand the odd phrase here and there, but honestly, who cares? It's super-catchy and awesome, and the video not only has cheerleading, but dancing bears. That's right — dancing bears. So why aren't you watching it yet?
A trailer is out for Gus Van Sant's biopic of openly gay politician Harvey Milk, and to be honest, it looks much better (and more upbeat) than I expected. Check out Josh Brolin as a very sinister Dan White (Milk's eventual killer).
Animator Jeff Chiba Stearns made this short reflecting on the last several years of his life, using only black pen and a hecka lotta yellow Post-Its. It's at once cute, sad, and oddly uplifting.
A long lost promotional clip from the undeveloped Buffy the Vampire Slayer animated series has surfaced on Youtube. Not that this will be much of a surprise to fellow Whedonites, but it looks really really good. Could a sufficient viral buzz possibly bring animated Buffy back from the dead, or is this just a sad remnant of what might have been?
The stage adaptation of the cult classic 1980 campy disco musical Xanadu is a pretty big hit. In celebration, here's "Dancin", my favorite number from the movie, and a great blend of two contrasting musical styles.
Triumph as in Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, that is. If you laughed yourself silly at the video of Triumph going off on the geeks waiting in line for the Star Wars prequel movie, get ready to pee your pants as he assaults the Comic Con goers with his unique brand of wit. He shows Wolverine how to masturbate, gives Snake Eyes a wedgie and gets a bunch of comic fans to do a little exercise! Enjoy!
Neil Patrick Harris is making waves as Dr. Horrible, and he's applying his musical talent to other endeavors as well. In an upcoming episode of Sesame Street, NPH plays the Shoe Fairy, and sings a song celebrating various types of footwear. Check out the teaser!
I'm envisioning a future duet that desperately needs to happen.
This is it, Popsuckers; the trailer for the Watchmen movie, due for a March 2009 release. Alas, I still have yet to read the acclaimed comic book series it's based upon, but I'm told it looks remarkably faithful to the source material.
