A look back at 2009 in style
This is ... bloody well done!
Upcoming Carpools
Just a little preview about the upcoming episodes of Robert Llewellyn's Carpool - I'm looking forward to the Patrick Stewart episode quite a bit! A recent show featured "Bottom" and "The Young Ones" star Adrian Edmondson (funny!). Always worth a visit, in my opinion! :)
We are ze Robots!
Nothing much to add, just that this is one bloody funny parody/hommage! :D
Star Wars retold (by someone who never actually saw it)
OK, out there there's some movies that everyone knows, even if one hasn't actually seen them. For me, up until pretty recently, that has been Casablanca. Yupp - I've never ever seen Casablanca until two months ago. But you know, you don't *have* to see those movies, right? Because, after all, pop culture is so full of quotes and parodies and references that you still have a pretty good idea what it's all about. Right? RIGHT?
Weeeeell... Judging from my Casablanca example: *Perhaps* not. Basically I got some of the major plot points and of course all the famous quotes, including the ones that aren't actually in the movie, and for years I thought that, to be honest, after all was said and done, the movie sounded rather lame and not like one I actually would enjoy watching, so I didn't.
Imagine my surprise when I found out that it IS a pretty cool movie with some interesting characters in it and some pretty clever and imho funny plot twists. I reallyreally enjoyed finally seeing it.
Anyways - here's a video of someone re-telling the story of Star Wars. With the added twist (as if you couldn't predict this at this point) of never actually having seen the movie before. A friend recorded that and just added some pictures. :) Enjoy.
Human thunderstorm
Just another of those "Whoa, cool"-clips you can find on youtube from time to time.
"We may have just discovered one of the most sinister characters in history."

Some quick background info first:
Nora is a cat. Like many other cats she owns a few humans - you know, for opening tins and playing with her when she's bored. As it turns out, Nora's humans sometimes like to sit down at a big, black box and amuse themselves and others by hitting keys on that box to make noises.
Nora knows about the human urge to play around of course and sometimes sits down with them to join their making noises on the big, black box.
Along comes another human called Mindaugas who contacted Nora's humans and got them to send him videoclips of her and plays them to a group of other humans. You know - to inspire them to make noises on a whole variety of boxes and pipes on their own.
