Memory (Osamu Tezuka - 1964)
A hilarious short animated film on the subject of memory by Osamu "The Walt Disney of Japan" Tezuka (Astro Boy, Kimba the White Lion).
It feels like a segment from a Japanese version of Sesame Street aimed at sardonic adult swingers on drugs.

The Quintessential Batman Scene?
I woke up this morning thinking about Batman -- like, more so than usual. I decided to look for a scene that I thought most efficiently embodies the classic Batman idiom. I think this 3-minute scene from Tim Burton's 1989 film is just that.

That's How I Beat Shaq
Aaron Carter raps about beating Shaq in a game of basketball. A very believable scenario backed up by heart thumping street beats.

WHERE IS SUNNY
I need an explanation for this immediately. There aren't even any cats in it, as far as I can tell, despite the name.

Space Bat
Apparently, a bat latched itself onto the Space Shuttle and injured itself, unable to fly away. NASA had no choice but to launch the shuttle -- and the first bat into SPACE.
This video is a tribute -- to him, and to all of us who DREAM.
More on Space Bat.

John Krasinski & Mya Rudlph in Quirky White People Movie X
I think this movie actually looks kind of good, but this Quirky White People genre is getting out of hand.
What are some other Quirky White People movies? Juno, Garden State, every Wes Anderson or Noah Baumbach movie, Lost in Translation, Little Miss Sunshine, Rachel Getting Married, Dan In Real Life, Pieces of April, Sunshine Cleaning, any Whit Stillman movie.
What are the components of a Quirky White People movie? Bleak and/or depressing surroundings with occasional allowances for crushing normalcy of suburbia or the crippling burden of enormous wealth; critically unsafe or otherwise dilapidated transportation; scene of someone urinating, usually a beautiful woman in corduroy; childlike drawings littered about the film, ideally in the opening and/or closing credits; inexplicably deep connections with total strangers, usually psychopaths; non-violent yet tremendously dysfunctional relationship with parental figures; alt-folk soundtrack, usually with a number of cover versions, but the whole thing basically sounds like Iron & Wine.
What Quirky White People films and trappings have I forgotten?

What
Wow, where do I start with this.
#1) If you are trying to be sexy, it's probably best not to leer at the camera. Leering seems to give off more of a sexual-assault-y vibe than I think you want to establish in a poppy music video.
#2) The lyrics and the story arc of this video seem to indicate that this song is about three goombas from the Jersey shore who want to give a blow job to a little black boy. Am I wrong about that?
#3) A quick Google search of "b-4 4" indicates that the band name was selected because there are three of them, and the number three comes 'before four'. You know how people will often use the phrase "It's all part of God's plan"? Does that mean that b-4 4 is also a part of that plan? Well, God, if you're listening, I just want you to know that I don't like your plan. You should probably go ahead and end it now.

Misogynistic Goodyear Tire Commercial
This commercial showed every Monday during Monday Night Football for 5 years straight during the 70's. Someone played it in the class I TA for the other day. It is absolutely hysterical. LOOK AT ALL THE SIGNS! WHAT AM I TO DO!?!? WALK!? DON'T WALK?!!? HOW DO I DO ALL OF THIS?!!?

Watchmen Commentary
I thought it would be good to start a post where the comments can be used to share reactions/commentary on Watchmen, that way if someone hasn't seen it they won't get any spoilers as long as they don't click the comments. So what did you all think?!

Hudson River Plane Landing Animation
I know this crash landing story has milked itself dry, but I nonetheless enjoyed this animation because I felt that the creators embellished two completely unnecessary aspects of the incident.
First of all, at the 0:17 mark, you will discover that the animators decided that a flock of geese would not be sufficient: this recreation need an INVASION OF GEESE. This is no ordinary flock of geese - these are the attacking hordes of Goose Mordor! After months of planning, these geese were finally ready to take over New York City. But then, disaster struck...
Secondly, at the 1:47 mark, why did they feel the need to make the passengers on the wing look like a house party on The Sims? I kept waiting for one of them to look up at the camera and start stomping their foot while a hamburger appeared in a thought bubble over their head. And on second thought, why waste the time and money to create that scene at all? We don't need a computer simulation of the passengers milling around outside of the plane - that part wasn't a mystery to us. That's like simulating the passengers eating at Sbarro's before they boarded the flight.
Anyway, if you ask me, this animation could have used a lot less geese (and a lot more of Colin's bear).
